I thought it was terrible.. the last few episodes were filmed like a bad soap opera, acting and storytelling included.
I'm someone who thought Dexter was amazing for 4 Seasons and plenty good enough to be considered good up until partway through Season 8.
They just took the idea of it being remotely believable and threw it all out the window.
- Why was Hannah Mckay making zero attempt to hide her identity? She can't even dye her hair?
- Why did Deb act so non-chalant about the Marshal telling her that someone fitting Hannah Mckay's description was at the hospital and used her address? Why did Hannah Mckay idiotically put down her address in the first place? On what planet do you get medical care at a hospital ER by just writing down an address? Why would it take Elway seeing some shoes in her apartment to get the Marshals to bust in and do a search?
- Why would it take some bounty hunter to alert authorities to her presence at an international terminal? Isn't she a wanted murderer who was just recently assumed to be in Miami? Wouldn't the police have already alerted local airport security even BEFORE they saw the stuff on the computer, let alone after? But she waltzes into the airport ready to board an international flight and only Elway is there to stop her?
- Holy f*** the "we are leaving now, no we aren't.. we are leaving now.. no we aren't" crap was annoying for 2-3 episodes straight.
- LOL at the entire scene where Dex pulls his boat right up to the main dock outside of some sea-side hospital.. WTF, are there hospitals with docks like that anywhere in the world? They knew the storm was coming for days.. and yet they took a gunshot victim to THAT hospital and then last minute they are haphazardly moving people around to the point they don't notice Dexter offing her or taking her body on his boat? lol
The dialog has just been terrible too.. all the emotional crap between Dexter and Hannah was just terrible.. same with Quinn and Deb.. That ambulance scene from the last episode.. LOL.. holy s*** that was bad.
And while I did love the pen scene.. it also had a big "how is Dexter going to be let go after that?" vibe to it.
