How would you rate how S8 ended Dexter's original run?




Dexter is back! The final episode of New Blood (aka S9) debuts this Sunday evening on Showtime. We're going to celebrate with Dexter Week here on B8, including a new poll and discussion topic every day. To start we're bringing back "BEE", my Best Ending Ever topic series, to see how S8 of Dexter stacked up.
---

FAIR WARNING - I promise there will be zero spoilers in the opening posts of this topic series, however everything after that could be Spoiler City. After all, we're exclusively discussing the final moments of some of the most beloved and long running series in the history of popular media... so proceed with caution!

Welcome to Best Ending Ever, the topic series where Board 8 will decide the best (and worst) endings in the history of film, television, literature, and video games. Each week we'll cover a well-regarded or controversial new entry.

For this Epic Return week our question is How satisfied were you with the way Season 8 concluded the original run of Dexter? Please vote based on the original ending, before considering Dexter's continuing adventures in New Blood.

i'm voting 1, but i think realistically it could be like a 1.1

it's abjectly terrible, but it was fitting and hilarious given how bad the show's second half was (other than S7, but they obviously took all the wrong lessons from that)

yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

Oh I saw the results and thought this is about New Blood and it made me sad...I wonder how it will end

Anyway
Answer is easy 1
I saw Dexter like a year ago for the first time so I had years of hearing how bad the ending is. So I was ready for it, but still holy shit what the fuck

The worst thing is that S8 wasn't even that terrible before it started going downhill. It wasn't good, really, but I could tolerate it
But then the last 3 episodes sucked and the last episode was wtf am I watching

Killing Debra was the worst choice I have ever seen. Kidnapping her corpse from the hospital was such an embarassing scene

Truly dreadful, but it got so bad that it became hilarious to watch by the end. Still a hard 1.

The new show is kind of in "so bad it's good territory" but the S8 ending was just bad

Enjoyed it quite a bit!
People say that season 3 was weak but I found it to be pretty good too

I have never seen this show outside of this season, where I only watched it in the background while my parents were watching it.

Didn't seem that bad! They like it a lot.

The most recent season is literally an apology season made years after-the-fact due to how bad 8 was.

I only saw the first two episodes of the current season...they are ok
IMDB scores for this season are too high imo (high 8s) while the show is just "fine"

Current season has been a return to around the middle of Dexter where it was still pretty good comparatively to everything else.

I really like 3 but I have a soft spot for Jimmy Smits as an actor and I really liked the Miguel/Dexter story. The Skinner is meh. I'm an outlier though in that I think S2 is the weakest of the bunch (the bunch being 1-4).

That rooftop confrontation =)

Yikes! I knew it would be bad, but this week is truly cementing itself as the All Time Low that will never be approached again in the history of BEE!

Also whoopsie, got way too busy today and didn't make the next voting topic; I'll launch it in the morning.

Ehh, that's too harsh IMO. If we're being honest the show has been messy and a bit silly since at least S2... by the show's logic I think New Blood makes as much sense as anything in the original run, and if it sticks the landing on Sunday I think I'll enjoy it more than anything since S4.

Day 4 is live, this time we're changing lanes to decide which of Dexter's lovers you would have picked to run away with.

But of course if none of these girls are to your taste, you've always back the Lumberjack Option in your back pocket!
