I have mixed feelings about the season renewal. I mean I love Dexter but there has to be conclusion to the series. I can understand one final season for the build up but two seasons? That just goes to show that they will milk Dexter to the max and it will very likely end disappointingly, like most shows that has gone on too long.

I agree. I feel like one more season would be plenty to end it all on a high note. What can they possibly do for 24 more 1 hour episodes? They've tackled all major themes, and it'll be hard to pull off another great serial killer since the Ice Truck & Trinity Killer (especially the depth of Trinity's character).

I don't want to see this series go out with a putter. If Debra doesn't find out what Dexter really is, she will next year-- and then what? What Big Bad? What story? What arc?

As excited as I am to see Dexter on screen for 2 more seasons, I think I am more worried the show will be past its prime by then. :monkey2

Just read what I said in prior posts about this...

Deb needs to find out who he is. Especially with the position she's in. And then, when that happens...they cant milk any further, because then it will be a just another hack show on a cable network that had a great past.

Which is why, I can see them bringing back Lumen, and doing other things, whether you like it or not, just to get us to watch every week, regardless of quality. Now, that does not mean that they cant get creative and explore other avenues that we have not thought about or can even conceive to conjure up, which can blow our minds. It can happen...

But that is not the norm on TV. We shall hope for the best.
 
Its a shame the producers are snobby about the books. Deb found out about Dexter's Dark Passenger at the end of the first book (aka Season 1). So her knowing about Dexter has played alot differently there than in the books. Its also too bad they kept Laguerta and killed Biney as it was the other way around in the books and instead of having DP Biney pop up, the real piney pops up.
 
I think this could be awesome. I think they should just shake things up. We've had 6 seasons of getting to know all these characters. Let's see things change and get intense. One thing they are good at is making a suspenseful show. I'd like to see some serious sticky situations.
 
I almost feel they did Season 2 too soon. Season 7 should have been Season 2's plot. Especially with Dexter getting really sloppy lately. Its almost like he's asking to get caught. In the first few seasons he was so cautious and now he doesn't even wear gloves or wipe off finger prints after he stabs a guy with a pitchfork :dunno

I'd have to disagree. I read the next 2 books and I feel they're far inferior to the TV show. The first book included.
 
That was not a planned kill, he seems as focused as ever other then that one kill.

Which could come back to haunt him...

Deb told him about Trinity being back and in what town...
He left town, she doesn't know where...
But he rented a car, someone he eventually worked on it...
That unplanned kill, him taking that pen, the dumping of the body in that town...
What you mentioned...
Among other things from that episode can be linked back to Dexter, as he did not follow the 'code' there, which was meant for what children?

Exactly...

Remember Harry's first rule...Never get caught.
What's his second rule...? Yup, you got it.
 
How are they going drag this out another 2 seasons? It's feeling very stagnant already. Such a shame this series will probably go out with a whimper.
 
I'd like to see a season long manhunt story arc. Dex on the run. They need to do it better than Weed's season on the road. But now they are greenlit through season eight they need to shake it up next year.
