Dexter: This Is the Way the World Ends (2011)
Season 6, Episode 12
9/10
A fairly decent season ends with a crazy season finale.

Warning: Spoilers
Season 6 of Dexter was a little disappointing in my opinion. It was not horrible, but not great either. I expected more with Dexter returning to his full and dark form. I will give it up for Colin Hanks, he did bring us a new sadistic killer that we hadn't seen before. Of course he couldn't beat Trinity or Ice Truck, but he gave Dexter a run for his money. The religious aspect was pretty cool, but I was upset when they killed Brother Sam. He was a very unique character and a good friend for Dexter. Even though my favorite episode this season, besides the finale, was Just Let Go, ironically when Sam died. I loved the ending and seeing Dexter lose it.

But this finale was by far the best episode of season 6. It started off a little predictable with a cat and mouse game between Travis and Dexter. We figured Dexter would get Travis on his table as usual. But we did not see the ending coming. I'll get to that in a second. What also I think saved the season was the mysterious Louis side plot. Am I the only one who is not looking forward to that next season. They didn't give us anything because they want to make him an important character for next season.

And now we have one of the greatest cliffhangers ever. Deb caught Dex! THe moment we have been waiting 6 years for! I have so many theories as to how she is going to react. She might not even think he is a serial killer, but maybe just avenging her because Travis tried to have her killed. But most likely Dex will confess his true side. Dexter is renewed for 2 more seasons, so obviously she won't turn him in. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Kudos to the writers for taking another risk like season 4!
