About to watch the very last episode of Dexter and I'm totally bummed. I'm gonna jump into the books as soon as I finish cause I just can't deal with the separation. I already read the first book a while back *KINDA SPOILER* and I know there's some big differences between the two series, so I'm kinda stoked.

Just finished the Dexter series finale...
Spoiler for Mega Spoilers!:
Jesus ****ing Christ. Very rarely does anything, be it show, movie, music, whatever, bring much out in my emotionally. In fact there are only two things that can regularly get me even the slightest bit misty-eyed: Hammerfall (shut up) and the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents (shut up). But I literally can't remember the last time anything ever made me cry like a little bitch. I mean, borderline bawling. For pretty much the last half of the episode I was a wreck. I was getting a bit teary when I first found out Deb was brain dead, but I think it was right at the exact moment when Quinn lost it in the interrogation room with Saxon that the floodgates really opened. After that I was done.
I also never go back and rewatch an episode I've just watched, but I just kept going back and watching certain scenes, sometimes out of sequence. I watched the last ten minutes--from the point where Dexter arrives at the hospital in the boat to when he drives into the storm--three times, and I fell apart each time.
I've also never been more satisfied with the death of a villain. Even if he wasn't the best villain of the series, Saxon needed to die. The way Dexter killed him was Batman as ****.

Nice!
Dexter and Rita finally getting naked and sweaty was awesome. What a great scene. The actors nailed all of the pent up emotions getting released.
And we finally know who the ice truck killer is. Can't wait for tonight.

Just caught up on The 100 and this show is looking great and severely underrated. Confirmed renewed for season 3 and getting consistently deserved great ratings. Gives me Lost vibes but it's different in a lot of interesting and equally mysterious ways. Desmond from Lost is in it himself, actually.
Really looking forward to the next episode and they're surprisingly not shy about killing off major characters.

I felt emotion the first time I watched the episode, but overall a very disappointing finale for me. I like to imagine that season 8 doesn't exist.

Spoiler for ieurb:
I'll have to watch the series again to really get a better opinion of it, but I loved the last two seasons. Watching Dexter and Deb dealing with her finding out was some of the best stuff of the show.
And any finale that forces me to hold a tissue up to my face cause at any moment I might start sobbing is a good finale IMO.

I honestly cannot believe how emotionally invested you got with Dexter in general. I didn't feel much of anything at any point.

Neither can I. I just really, really liked the show. The crying thing was completely out of nowhere.

That's why I could never really get into it. I saw the entire first season and it was great, but I tried to watch the show again and I just couldn't get into it.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the show. But it definitely didn't move me emotionally.

I was moved more by Prison Break and Breaking Bad than I would be by Dexter. I don't think Dexter has the typical atmosphere that I like in a tv show. I'm more for the dark suspenseful depressing stories.
