Dexter: The British Invasion (season finale)

I think the writer of this article mis-understood the award ceremony. It was not for the closing of the bay harbor butcher case. It was a flashback of when Deb joined the force,hence why young Dexter and Harry were clapping. And also why she was in a regular cops uniform and not her lately usual business attire. Makes me think that the writer didn't actually watch the entire season... you think?


Anyway,I L-O-V-E this show,it's so unique, dark & twisty,in a good way,I really hope this show has at least 5-6 seasons.
Cross your fingers!!

Laguerta was the one who heard all of Doakes' finger pointing towards Dexter. I have a feeling Laguerta is going to take the place of Dexter's antagonist. She studied the evidence, and probably will be suspicious by how it went down.

Credibility or no, I liked it that Lila was the one to find Doakes. In fact the unlikeliness of it all made it more fun. First time Doakes escapes, he runs straight into some drug dealers (unknowingly), identifies himself as a cop, and bam, he's a prisoner again. Then finally someone walks in who might release him, and it turns out to be the only person in the world who likes that Dexter is a serial killer, and takes Dexter's side. Love it.

This season was just as good as the first.

The fact that Dexter has killed two people now because they have found out who he is, only shows how fantastic this show IS. If he kept Lila alive, then that would only point out his inconsistencies. Why would he kill his brother, somebody who he actually had a connection with, but keep Lila alive? Lila was a loose end that Dexter had to take care of, and I'm glad they did it in the season finale, because I would have hated if she just kept showing up next season. I liked her character, but I think she had nothing more to give Dexter, or the plot. She's played her role, and I'm glad she's gone. As for Doakes, I'm sad to see him go, but I think it was a good thing that Lila was the one to kill Doakes. The fact that Dexter always manages to stay true to himself is vital for any of us to really like Dexter. The point is that Dexter is evil AND good, and he's finally become aware of that. In the first season, he showed us how good he can be. The writers overshadowed his dark side, by somebody who was even darker and unapologetic about it. In comparison to the ITK, Dexter proved to us he could be good. In this season, the writers had Dexter experimenting with his dark side, making him the bad guy. Except Dexter discovered that he doesn't fit that role either. He can't just be this one sided two dimensional character, they proved to us how intricate his character really is, and I think they will only further that discovery of Dexter defining himself in season three.

And FYI, if Dexter killed Doakes, then viewers would have felt doubtful and resentful towards Dexter and his character. And that just wouldn't be right, because Dexter is the man.

I thought the finale was a great wrap-up to another terrific season. I love how Dexter is evolving (both the character and the show). I don't think there was any way for Doakes to have survived, but I will definitely miss him next year. Lila, not so much.

I was very pleased on how the show ended especially when Dexter killed Lila. I really wasn't expecting it but glad that we werent kept hanging until next season. I expected to see Lila come back into Dexter's life making appearances and disappearances.
Dexter didn't kill his brother and Lila because he just feared for the safety of Deb or Rita. He killed them because his brother was a serial killer and Lila killed Doakes and also she had the power to expose him. Dexter never kills innocent people. He never had the intentions of killing Doakes. I think he really felt bad that Doakes was killed and he says so and that is why he kills Lila.
This season had my complete attention. When I was not able to see the show on Sunday and when it repeated later that night, thank God for Showtime on Demand. I have been a fan or Michael (Dexter) since Six Feet Under. and will continue being a fan of his on Dexter. Although I thought Doakes was an a**hole, I will miss him. When an actor makes you hate his character, that's a sign of a good actor. He will also be missed because he was the one who kept Dexter looking over his shoulder. Maybe they will have Doake's ghost come back to haunt Dex.

I, for one was happy to see Lila meet a bad end. However, the way the it was done was a little off. I thought it was a dream sequence. I thought that we, as the viewers, earned to see Lila in the "kill room". oh well. Love the show, anyway.

The only thing I'm still wondering about are the killing tools that Lila has in her possession. Did they just disappear? Could she have had a plan to make sure they would be sent to the police in case she was ever murdered?

I just think Dexter is just a great, entertaining show, and that is why I enjoy it, simply because it is just that! Great writers! Can't wait for next season!

I'm sad to see Doakes go. He was one of the funniest characters on the show (in season 1 especially).
