Very disappointing.
19 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
*** WARNING HUGE SPOILERS ***

Let's first start by saying that I never ever see anything coming even when they throw it right at my face, but as soon as I saw Dex in the Church with Travis on his table I was like: What the hell is he doing over there when everybody knows he's collecting evidence at that place???

He has lived by the code for so many years, never got caught and now he gets caught by making such a rookie mistake on one of his most important kills? I just knew Deb was gonna walk in, it was so predictable and so disappointing.

The Deb loves Dexter thing was already growing out of proportions up to a point where it became ridiculous but now I know they all did that just because it was essential for Dexter to get away with murdering Travis while his sister was watching.

Another really disturbing scene was the one on the sky scraper. Not one cop figured out it was gonna be that building, they didn't check building names related to the sun or anything, no they just put one cop on every building while dexter pinpoints the exact location in 5 seconds with one quick 'Google', right.....

Secondly, Deb asked to call for backup with every suspicious activity, yet one cop sees a kid in a lion outfit on the roof of a sky scraper (?) while they have been talking about lambs and other animals and he doesn't call it in right away?? Huge mistake! There's not one smart cop working at Miami Metro except for Dexter yet Vince claims they are the elite, the best of the best.

I'm not even gonna start on Dexter's boat accident and the ring of fire at the same location in the water, and Dexter that is allowed to enter the crime scene first while everybody's waiting outside so he can smash his painting with a hammer. The writers just did an awful job, bringing up all kinds of lame excuses to fill all the plot holes.

I once called Dexter the best show ever but now I wish they canceled the show when Rita died. At least I would've been left with questions and could have filled the plot holes myself but season 5 and 6 really ruined the entire show for me.

Thanks Dexter and Showtime, for four great seasons!
