The only reason I'm giving this episode a 9 is hope. I have seen what Dexter (the show) is capable of through all the seasons so far, and while it has set low standard after low standard in the past two seasons, maybe the writers, producers and directors still have got something in them.
I'm hopeful the last 10 seconds of the episode - yeah, ONLY the LAST TEN SECONDS - can unleash Dexter's full potential again in the next season. Oh, wait, there are still two seasons, at least, to come. Well, maybe they'll go full throttle now, and that is what I'm hoping for.
I wouldn't like to ignore the past two seasons and the colossal amount of plot holes and loose ends that they have left behind with no explanation AT ALL, but as it seems that is what they're doing, the only way to cope with that is to make the most out of this big, intense but predictable cliffhanger.
Maybe Dexter still has got some tricks up its sleeve, or maybe I'm being delusional and the show is really far past its best days, but, nonetheless, I'll still give it green light, once again, solely because of the hope that those last 10 seconds brought, and with it, a giant collection of possibilities, some of which are amazing.
So that's that. Are you ready to surprise me, Dexter, or will the downfall only get steeper in the seasons to come? Hope dies last, unless it's gotten itself trapped in Dexter's table.
