JonStark Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 7 hours ago, thrILL! said: It was like an exec at HBO blindly made that decision as an override veto on the day of shooting. The last character on the show you’d ever expect to be king (and for good reason) but the decision completely betrayed everything like a lazy gimmick. It’s why it’s in the top 3 worst series finales of all time alongside Lost and HIMYM. Yeah, it really didn't make sense. Everything else about the finale was fine for me, but I can't get past that. Had they just ended it before that scene it would've been great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Also how bad was the characterization of Euron Greyjoy lol Dude entered one of the GOAT dramatic shows up to that point and played it like a caricature of a jack sparrow impersonator at disney world 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I don't get why HBO didn't tell Benioff and Weiss to **** off when they said "We only want to do 13 more episodes" after season 6. HBO should have made them take the black and hired new show runners. "Game of Thrones" was far too valuable to just bend to the will of those 2 and end prematurely. Plenty of shows switch show runners...including now "House of the Dragon" after just 1 season. A horrible decision. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, the books characterization has been done for you so it wouldnt have been difficult 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterCallSaul Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I hated when Dexter and Deb kissed. WTF. There were several WTF moments late into Dexter, but that one was the "ok, this is going off the rails." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went back and rewatched it recently and as a whole, the hate it gets toward the end is overblown too, but the love angle and the final episode are so so bad. No getting around that. I think they redeemed themselves with New Blood though even some people are too biased to admit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't in on it when it was on and was going to start it after it was over but heard the ending sucks so I just thought nah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then they brought the show back in an attempt to "right the wrong" and it was great! ...until the second ending, which was worse than the first. Ugh....

Everything post Trinity Killer S4 was a mess in Dexter. it was set up for a big finale in season 5. Instead, they stretched it into 4 seasons of filler. End of season 5 where Deb can discover Dexter just behind a curtain, but leaves on principal only to make the entire story the next season about her finding out. They were reaching at that point.

Annoying twerp with no likable qualities or charisma. He gets the satisfaction of offing his dad and you're like after 9 season, Dex goes out at the hands of his annoying son with a rifle?
