I'd say Dexter opting not to kill that stupid Swedish guy who ultimately went on to (indirectly) MURDER DEB was worse -- he spent a million episodes plotting to kill him and then decided at the last second that he "didn't want to" anymore bc he'd be ~cured by Hannah. My god, that final season was infuriating.

Jimmy Darmody was a world-class bad decision-maker too. Way to get your wife killed! Way to then 'nobly' go to your own unnecessary death and abandon your kid! Way to sign up for WWI bc you somewhat regretted banging your mom! I mean ...

Dexter being "cured" by Hannah was one of the dumbest things I've seen. It made no sense and it came outta nowhere. Also Deb being in love with him and Deb shooting Laguerta. WTF were they thinking

It honestly felt like that show pulled a Gilmore Girls and was taken over in its final season by people who didn't understand or even like it. They just threw the Dark Passenger thing out the window and basically pretended Rita never existed or had any emotional effect on Dexter, and then he was just ~over being a killer. Even though the entire interesting conceit of the show is his struggle to balance his urges with everyday life. And also he's still enough of a dick to STEAL DEB'S BODY. I AM STILL NOT OVER THAT afnasjkfashafh

It's upsetting how quickly and how easily they tossed Rita aside, and then basically allowed him to abandon his duties as a father by just writing the kids out.

wow. i totally checked out after deb realized she was in love with dexter and stopped watching... and never read what else happened in the final season. that is some world-class terrible writing.

Honestly I wish I would have stopped watching too. It was a complete waste of time.
