Dexter alt ending

Sep 24, 2013 11:38

Now THAT would have been an amazing ending! It's how former showrunner Clyde Phillips would have ended it. He left after S4, and clearly was responsible for many of the show's awesome moments.

( Seriously, I have chills thinking about how epic that would have been )

let me tell you how i really feel, dexter

That's incredible! I got goosebumps reading it, and I haven't even watched the show for years.

Right?? It would have been fantastic. Sigh. Btw, here's a summation of the crappy finale we got:

Agree! :)

That would've been soooo much better than what we got.

For reals. :|

I agree! A friend of mine and I were discussing this the night it aired and she had stopped watching after Season 5, but I stupidly kept going.

*sigh*

Just why?

There were so many better endings!

Once again, I'm in the minority. Part of the brilliance of Dexter for me was that we always rooted for him, because he was ridding the world of terrible people; ones who shouldn't have slipped through the cracks of Miami criminal justice. I never wanted him to pay for those crimes. Sure, it's reasonable that some might want him to feel the weight of deaths like Rita's, but I think he did in his own way. It's a TV show, and I like the fantasy of him getting away with it. Having him wake up in a publicly-sanctioned kill room would be no fun for me to watch. Too predictable, with an underlying message of "what was the point of cheering him on?"

JMHO, of course.

I definitely could have gotten behind an ending where he didn't get caught. Just not the one we got, which was so laughable. But I think Clyde's ending would have been a poetic full circle for Dexter the killer to finally face death himself.
