Wow. "Six Feet Under" is such a significantly stronger show than "Dexter".

Now that Harrison is confirmed to have a Dark Passenger (or at least something similar) this season can finally start to heat up. Something still feels a little off about it though. Maybe I just wanted a more Dexter focused final season. This one seems as though it’ll be all about Harrison.

Will Harrison find out about Dexter's kills and Rita? Will he put Dexter on his table?

Wow. "Six Feet Under" is such a significantly stronger show than "Dexter". You know that's an interesting debate. I binged watched Six Feet Under this past spring for the 1st time. I've kinda avoided it for years because it really isn't my type of show. But I finally sat down and watched it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was definitely well written and acted right up till the end. Was it better made than Dexter. Perhaps yes. HOWEVER, I didn't enjoy it even half as much as Dexter. I like Dexter because it has both fun and serious writing that digs into humanity's psyche. It's thrilling and keeps me at the edge of my seat, but it also isn't completely plot driven/formulaic. Six Feet Under has a lot of great writing that digs into the human psyche, but it lacks fun. There's no thrills. No mystery. No cat and mouse game. Obviously not every show has to do that, but I think it's better when they do. Truthfully if I had to watch Six Feet Under over the course of 5 years I probably would have gotten fed up with it. Dexter I could easily watch for another 8 years and never tire of it.

Maybe I just wanted a more Dexter focused final season. This one seems as though it’ll be all about Harrison. Part of me feels like they are setting it up for Harrison to take over. I actually really like the actor they cast in the role. I think he could handle his own series. I do agree that it is a bit of a flaw that they are focusing slightly more on Harrison than Dexter. One thing I'll admit, Dexter struggles with is creating a sense of ending. I'm really enjoying this season. However, much like season 8 it still doesn't feel like a final season. It just feels like they are setting up more. I'm honestly fine with that. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I could watch an infinite amount of more Dexter seasons. I just wish they wouldn't tease viewers that this is the end because I think that'll create more disappointment with expectations.

He knows about Rita, I assume. I don’t think him viewing that podcast was his first time hearing about it either. An internet search of Dexter would’ve probably easily led him to that story. Harrison killing Dexter is how I assume the series will end. If written well, it could be a really fitting final scene.

I just wish they wouldn't tease viewers that this is the end because I think that'll create more disappointment with expectations. The actor playing Harrison is indeed terrific. I’m really looking forward to the scenes where he and Dexter become more honest about who they are. I would not care about a spin off though- a Dexter legacy character just feels too comic booky. I agree about the final season. Part of the issue here is that everything had to be reset, so it feels more like a beginning than an ending. I’ve always wondered what Clyde Phillips had in mind for his original final season, besides the death row ending he revealed. I’m sure it would’ve featured a really compelling arc for Dexter, as the first four seasons did. I guess that’s why this new season is throwing me off a bit. It’s not what I expected so I am forced to readjust expectations a bit.

Does Harrison know that Dexter should have been more concerned about keeping Rita safe instead of killing Arthur Mitchell?
I'm leaning to Harrison killing Dex. A lot of the criticism of the Dexter finale was that he got away with it. It would be justice if Dexter ended up on a kill table. And it will make for many more seasons.

I hope Dexter, at the very least, informs Harrison that he killed Trinity. The world still believes he got away with it.

A decent episode.. but they’re taking way too long to get the main story going. There’s only five episodes left.

He’s being driven by emotion now, which was apart of his character arc in seasons 1-8. He made a big mistake not planning more before going after the dealer, but it didn’t even make him think twice before going after the supplier in another sloppy fashion. I’m just surprised he’s making all these bad choices kill wise. It’s really ironic because I loved all the storylines in episode 5 except Dexter’s which I only liked. I would have loved it if he wasn’t as uncharacteristically careless. But this was definitely the first time it really felt like they were setting up Dexter’s downfall. I think they can do a lot in 5 episodes, so I’m curious to see how they tie it all together.

He’s being driven by emotion now, which was apart of his character arc in seasons 1-8. That was EXACTLY his precise and perfect character arc in Season 1-8. In the late seasons, especially #8, he was becoming human (from being a psychopath). That was the whole point of the series. As long as his "humanity" (an anomaly) progressed, he was making mistakes as any normal human being out there.
By the way, some MASSIVE PLOTPOINTS.
1- Since Hannah technically "abducted" Harrison Morgan, why Police or FBI did not attempt to retrace him and thus capture the abductor (Hannah)?
2- Which way did "Oregon Dexter" send a letter to Hannah to begin with? Impossible. Hannah believed that Dexter had died. Dexter did not know where Hannah where, and Argentina is a huge country. How did he manage to send the letter in the very first place?
3- "Oregon Dexter" was dead inside. A zombie. He was a shell of a man. Neither human, nor psychopath. He was void, condamned to spend his entire life in agony, since he had lost the REAL cosmic lover of his life: Debra. He wouldn't have sent a letter to Hannah at all.
4- When Harrison returned back in America... what truly happened? Was he recognized as "Harrison Morgan" anyway?
5- SERIOUSLY? Harrison just found a picture depicting Dexter as Jim Lindsay, and so he found out that he was living in Iron Lake? WTF? How did he manage to spot that image among millions and millions of Instagram profiles? Impossible.
6- Harrison is 15 years old. Unbelievable.
7- How did Dexter manage to create false documents for "Harrison Lindsay" in just one day or so?
That's it.

That's it.
The series had the unfortunate circumstance of being tied into the previous finale. Why did Dexter even have to fake his death? He was not a fugitive. He could have easily lived in the middle of nowhere as Dexter Morgan. No one would have cared.

Finally Dexter has a real conversation with Harrison. They really should’ve gotten to that earlier. Not much time now to explore it further. Obviously they don’t want Dexter to tell him the whole truth just yet, but they never had to go from 0 to 60. Start with Dexter revealing what happened to his own mother. Then they have an instant bond. Harrison would then look to Dexter for guidance which would evolve their relationship before the bigger reveals. But nope, let’s just show 8 episodes of awkward breakfasts. It’s so frustrating how they’ve handled this.

Dexter and Harrison are two psychopaths, and their basic relationship is weird. It seems to me plausible that they didn't have any deep conversation for months.

Plausible, yes. But boring drama.

Episode 8 was pretty great. I think Clancy Brown/Kurt Caldwell has established himself as one of the top Dexter antagonists. He’s given a great performance this season. The whole sequence of Dexter out in the woods and Harrison with Kurt were all shot really well.
Honestly I’m really sad there are only 2 episodes left. Im not ready for it to end. I really hope they have a couple more seasons planned they aren’t telling us about.

Just binged episodes 7-9.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Those needle marks in their necks were HUGE.
HUGE!
Maybe in the dead guys, but it's been a few days at least, should be nothing but a slight bruise left at most on the living guy.
He burned down Dexter's cabin, and planned to shoot them with his gun? Is he trying to get caught? How's he gotten away with it for 25 years if he's willing to make these massive public displays?
Yes, he shoots them all, but he doesn't typically commit arson, which will lead to a legit investigation, of which is obviously arson. Who knows what kind of evidence he could have left behind. The amount of attention that could bring.
Dexter purposely triggers Kurt's camera (he gets an awfully good signal out in the middle of the woods close to a small town), that footage could be on God knows what server. And with Kurt missing police could specifically look for it.
He started embalming them after Iris, I guess?
Angela seems to be connecting the dots that Jim/Dexter is the BHB far too easily for me.
If Dexter ends up on Harrison's table next episode this season and ending are nearly as bad as season 8.
