[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8512151, member: 5889"] To me the proper ending for Dexter was always he goes to prison or he's in a body bag. The killing of the cop made sense in this context, Angela was too Lawful Good....even if he could convince her he took down Kurt she would never let him go, and once Angel made his way there....its game over. Dexter broke the code to be with his son, the irony of which is what led to the final schism between them. Dexter ultimately made two mistakes, one very in character for him, and one that if people wanted to nitpick I could agree with. [LIST] [*]Dexter could have told Angela about Kurt a lot sooner, once he was dead. This would have helped explain a lot of things, Dexter's weird behavior at times, etc etc. However, that's not Dexter's pattern, he doesn't work within the law like that, but outside it. And so that was a flaw for him that is very understandable, but ultimately led to his downfall. [*]The screw in the house. This one could be considered a plot blunder. Dexter is a careful CAREFUL person, and he knew about the screw and its possible tie to him. He's a forensic guy, he knows they have serial numbers on them.

[/LIST] But at the end of the day, those were nitpicks for me, as the overall plot really worked for me. I loved Angela's slow descent into suspicion, and I appreciated that she already knew Dexter wasn't Jim when the little trickle of evidence started to come out. This allowed her to be more paranoid and push on little things in investigations she might normally dismiss, but it being completely justified with her current mindset. I will also say, that Deb has the highlight of the show for me. I LOVED her being the voice in Dexter's head this season, one minute supporting him, the next ripping him apart.
