I enjoyed this finale way more than the original (and this season was pretty good overall) but the last episode just ended in a disappointing fashion. Not even because Dexter died, just the way some things in this season happened. Like...
- What was the point of the rich oil guy? Just to detract suspicion from Kurt? His storyline went nowhere, even after his weird confrontation with Audrey on the road.
- Why did they kill Molly off screen? Her death could have had a lot more impact if they had shown it on screen.
- Why was Lundy shown in the flashback, even though Dexter had nothing to do with his death?
- How is Angela able to piece together so much with Google that Miami Metro over 8 seasons couldn't? While we're on that tangent, he used M99 in the originals and Ketamine now. Big oversight by the show writers IMO.
- Harrison killing Dexter felt super forced. Of course it's just my opinion, but it would have made much more sense for Angela to kill/arrest him or for him to get away or for Dexter to have some sort of confrontation with Angel.
- Angela revealing to Dexter that Angel was on his way and then nothing else happening with that was extremely disappointing. She could have just bluffed that he was coming to Dexter and it would have had the same effect and not led to people having higher expectations.
- Why is Angela covering for Harrison? Seems to go against all her morals and everything she was about the entire season. Complete 180 of her character.
I also didn't understand why everyone was shitting on Dexter for killing Logan. He frequently went against the code when it was convenient or necessary. As the viewers, we know that he more than likely could have beaten the charges against him, but I can at least chalk it up to him panicking.
