[QUOTE="tommie, post: 312732, member: 370"] [SPOILER]My ideal ending still would've been him on death row and a good part of the season focusing on the journey there, but it needed to happen with the original series and some of the key characters, you know, alive to react to it (Deb, La Guerta). For "fixing" the ending this was good enough without relying on retcons. I think the issue is that people just got too attached to Dexter and forget that he's not a reliable narrator - so people don't want to see him die and for the story to end. But Dexter of course isn't a good guy - he was always an animal hold in a rickety cage held together by a rigid code. But Dexter would break that code when it suited him - hell, I'd argue Matt didn't fit his code since I doubt he had [I]intent [/I]to kill those people; I think he didn't care and had possible suicidal ideation because of the trauma his father put him through. Not saying that he didn't belong in jail, but he was hardly the type that Harry would've meant for Dexter to kill.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
