Everything has been leading up to this. Doakes and his obsession with Dexter Morgan’s murderous side. Lila and her obsession with Dexter Morgan’s murderous side. The solving of the Bay Harbor Butcher case. Dexter’s on again, off again relationship with a normal woman and her two overly cute kids. Everything that we all thought was going to happen, happens. But it is still totally and completely shocking to see how it happens.
The opening of Dexter is a montage of the average American Serial Killer getting ready for his day. Shaving, getting dressed, fixing his morning meal. They have a little sequence in the middle of the last episode that mirrors that opening. The message being that Dexter gets to start over, here literally and complete with soundtrack. It is a funny bit of business.
At the start of Season Two of Showtime’s Dexter, it was not looking good for our hero. He couldn’t finish off his kills, his dumping ground was discovered, his girlfriend found out that he was not as nice as he pretended to be, and he met a madwoman that could have been the end of him. Lots of neat stuff going on. There was also the on going drama of his adoptive father and the Code of Harry that makes Dexter a force for good and not just another whack job. Big changes for all the members of this amazing cast of characters.
Check out BuddyTV for the Season 2 finale spoilers, I just wanted to say-Damn, I really liked that wrap up of the second season.
All the loose ends are neatly tied up. Life, such as it is, goes on.
