We all know that one day there will be a final season. As they move onto Season 6, we all know it will end one day. So, in helping to keep the Escapist forums free of "so-and-so is now -" threads, the question is, how do YOU think the series will end?
My guess: Dexter gets caught, Deb, who has been quick to mention several times that Dex is the only good thing in her life will, will kill herself and Dexter will be lead to "The Chair" saying "...Tonight's the night ... the night it all ends."
What do you think?
Also, what's your favorite and least favorite season? As for me: Favorite: S1. Least Favorite: S3.
I think the final season might just pull something like that, killing off Dexter or having him get caught. But I think this scenario is a little more likely:
Dexter is doing his job as always, muddling through his days, and then finds a new "playmate" (Target as they usually say in the show . . . not wanting to promote a villain as good and all that) and in doing so, misses some crucial detail . . . maybe he was pre-occupied with thoughts of his son, maybe he was just too angry because it was someone connected to his family. But he misses something, the person goes missing, the cops start looking into it, and find something that leads back to him. Deb gives him the early notice, and continues her job as usual, untill it comes to the climactic moment when she is forced to choose. Her job, or her family. She aims her pistol at Dexter, as others come toward them, tears welling up in her eyes, hands shaking wildly muttering how she never wanted it to come to this, but knew it would. And fires a shot . . . and it goes black. Dexter's voice saying quietly. "It's ok Deb . . . I understand."
The show goes to comercial, and soon enough comes back in, to show Deb raising Harrison years later, him occassionally asking about his mother and father, what happened to them, and Deb telling him that they were great people that got hurt very bad by someone.
Then it shows the moon slowly rising, a boat going across the water, and on the deck Dexter in one of his many shirts picks up a bag, as Deb continues to talk to Harrison, telling him how much she loved her brother. Dexter throws the bag over the edge, watching it splash and sink as Deb tells Harrison his dad loves him very much and wants him to be happy. And it closes on Dexter's face, smiling as he holds up a letter to the light, from Deb, with pictures of Harrison. The letter reading that Harrison is growing up strong and healthy, very smart. And then at the very bottom, it will say "just like you."
ROLL CREDITS.
NOTICE: I am not on any team working for the show, I'm just a big fan and a HUGE Nerd. I've read all the books up to Dexter is Delicious so far and going on that and my watching of the show I came up with what I think the ending SHOULD be. Do not take that as being any kind of inside info.
Also if anyone who writes for the show sees this . . . feel free to use this ending or some version of it guys . . . I'm a big fan and would LOVE to see one of my favorite stories come to a close like this.
The only reason I don't think they would have Deb kill him is because it would be too similar to that one part in Season 2 when he thinks about how to tell her what he is.
