I was disappointed.
 Spoilers! |
I'll admit I didn't see it coming but these scenes are suppose to leave you feeling something, right? This didn't leave me feeling anything at all. Instead of allowing Micheal C Hall to show off some acting chops, they opt instead to give him another monologue, it's purpose being to really push the baby born in blood thing. The writers don't seem to have much respect for it's audience.
It also felt a little exploitative, like they were done with the whole Dexter's family theme and needed a way out. My guess is Astor and Cody are gonna be shipped off to the grandparents conveniently introduced in the last episode. |
The whole season was disappointing for me. The writing was lazy and obvious, the scene where Dexter realizes he loves his family and is physically taken aback and starts to cry is what I mean by obvious. There was way to much romantic padding. And worse is all the stupid goofs Dexter kept making, made for the convenience of lazy writers.
