Dexter followers have been on fairly a curler coaster experience through the years. When the unique sequence led to 2013, the finale was considered one of many worst TV present endings of all time. Within the ultimate moments, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Corridor) was painted right into a nook — truly, right into a hurricane — and seemingly killed off earlier than turning up alive and randomly working as a lumberjack distant from Miami. Practically a decade later, Dexter returned to screens in Dexter: New Blood, giving him a brand new life masquerading as pleasant journeyman Jim Lindsay in upstate New York. Then, he seemingly died once more — this time, after being shot by his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott).
Now, Dexter: Resurrection has revived each the character and the franchise, and primarily based on what we’ve seen up to now, some followers are beginning to specific optimism that the third time’s a allure, and this sequence’ eventual finale would possibly give Dexter a extra becoming finish than the earlier two exhibits. Some long-timers are additionally beginning to think about how this sequence would possibly stick the touchdown — even when it’s nonetheless distant, since a second season is reportedly in growth.
In a thread on the present’s Reddit fan web page, one poster wrote about their final hopes for the sequence finale, saying, “The one path I do know I wish to see the present go is committing to Dexter deviating additional and farther from the code till he’s a full-blown monster.”
Others imagined a unique, albeit equally grim, destiny for Dexter Morgan. One fan wrote, for instance, “I’d want an ending the place he offers himself up. It appears like the entire sequence has been pointing in direction of Dexter not being a complete psycho; he’s been rediscovering his humanity the complete sequence, and he feels extra human now than he ever has (besides perhaps for when he was with Hannah). In the identical manner that New Blood ended with him realizing he suits his personal code, maybe this one will finish with him realizing that if he desires a clear conscience, he ought to face the results of his actions and spend the remainder of his life behind bars.”
The considered Dexter winding up in jail for his crimes was a slightly common suggestion within the dialogue. One other fan added, “I feel we must always have at the least a full episode of the courtroom case and publicity, after which him in jail, then the electrical chair. However he will get a possibility to see what folks say about him, not simply the Bay Harbor Butcher.’” (It’s price noting right here that in the newest episodes of Dexter: Resurrection, he has appeared considerably miffed about not getting credit score for his previous actions and even confronted a little bit of an id disaster with the “Darkish Passenger” killer moniker.)
One other fan shared that their hope is for Dexter to finally turn into the true household man he’s all the time pretended (however failed) to be: “I really feel like one thing the Dexter sequence retains working with is Dexter’s lack of ability to make fruitful connections,” the consumer famous. “On each season, there are totally different folks he makes an attempt to be his true self with, however then he fails… Brian Moser, Lila, Miguel Prado, Rita, Trinity, Hannah, Debra, that physician [Evelyn Vogel] who knew about Harry’s code. I really feel like he might develop an precise bond with Harrison.”
The notion of a blissful future for each Dexter and Harrison could be a bit too saccharine for some of us, like one fan who envisioned a really totally different concept of a “joyful ending,” writing, “The purpose of the character is to point out he’s higher than he thinks he’s, and does have emotions. It has to finish with Dexter coming to some sort of phrases together with his passenger.”
