Dexter: “The Getaway”
Just watched the final season closer of Showtime’s “Dexter” titled “The Getaway” and just like last week’s episode, I’m virtually speechless.
Last week, I laid 10:1 odds that Debra Morgan wouldn’t survive. Up until the very end of this episode, the writing was so phenomenal that I still believed it based on the lengthy scenes with Deb learning about Dexter’s past, and the whole touching brother/sister scene.
I simply chose the wrong Morgan to die.
Now, we have to wait at least three months for the next fix, and I for one can’t wait. I never thought I’d ever cheer for a serial killer, but nonetheless, I do. Not only that, but I have sympathy for the guy….
My next guess is that next season will deal with the aftermath of Rita’s death, and I’m sure that for some time period, the cops will even be looking at Dexter because of the fighting with Quinn, the hit and run, the fight with the Sheriff, and the missing hours between work then finding/reporting Rita’s death.
If you’ve read this blog over the years, you’ll know that I continually chide Hollywood for its complete lack of originality. I’m willing to admit that I’m wrong — at least to a small degree — because right now, I feel just like the giddy kid who just left the theater after watching the original (and only) Star Wars on the big screen in 1977.
Massive kudos to the writers of Dexter on a season well done. Now adding one copy on Blu Ray to my Amazon Wishlist…

I don't see how Trinity's family didn't see "Kyle" as they were exiting their house… or why they didn't tell the police about him. But at any rate, I'm so glad Rita is gone, I hope that wasn't some sort of dream sequence, because I can't stand Rita. She snivels and whines so much I was saying that she was asking for Dexter to kill her, she's lucky he didn't! But she sure did annoy me.

I totally agree on the "how did they miss Kyle standing 20 feet from them?" aspect but can't say the same about Rita. A small part of why I like Dexter so much is that he's obviously a sociopath, but he's trying to fit into normal society. Rita was pretty much the anchor there so it's going to be interesting to see what happens next.

You wouldn’t believe it but I have lost all day scrounging for some info about this. You’re a lifesaver, it was a thought provoking read and has helped me out to no end. Cheers
