It's great to hear your favorite character from a TV show say exactly what you yourself were thinking about the show's ending.

[leonardovitesse]

we were all pissed because how much we were invested with the show but an ending like this must be a lot harder for the cast and crew than people who watch the show

[deadmandirector]

SHE’S SAYING EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE ALL THINKING!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

[andrewjudeus]

Good ole Debra Morgan keeping it real.

[HS-srqb]

Whoever wrote the ending of that season should be ashamed...

[SenorPequenos]

This is now my fav video on the internet

Thank god someone from the show was honest about it. I think the show was excellent to almost the bitter end, but not the last several minutes of the show with the hospital and the boat and the lumberjack thing. Luckily, with the 9th season coming...that'll just be an ending to a season and not the end of the show itself. I'm guessing they knew they had to redeem it.

It wasn't necessary to kill her off I think. Great character and actress.

[LunaJuno]

even now years after the show she is thinking about Dexters situation being a lumberjack instead of her own where her character was thrown into the ocean where Dexter basically put all his victims in..the sisters love continues

“😱One of us is wrong.”
That’s very funny. (Maybe she should’ve written it instead.)

[thebreakfastmenu]

It's disappointing for fans who spent all their time watching the show for the ending to sorta ruin its own legacy. I can't imagine the disappointment the actors and crew must have felt though.

[simoneita]

Indeed. Debra was the best character for all the show!
She didn’t deserve to die. No sense absolutely.

It's about time someone was brave enough to say it. People at these cons endlessly praise "every season" when they ask questions because they're too afraid to offend Michael C. Hall or Jennifer Carpenter.

Go rewatch Season 8, Michael C. Hall is checked out the entire time. He hates it too, he'll just never publicly admit it (as far as I know)

[sgarcias]

The ending should have really been about after Deb gets shot, Dexter realizing he can´t move on without her and deciding to staying. He has discovered he does have actual feelings and feels human. He chooses his sister over Hannah, who does escape to Argentina. Quinn and Debra get back together and have a life, while Dexter stops the killing after he realizes he doesn´t need it anymore because his son and sister are what really fill him up, and dedicates his time to raise his child and live happily ever after. It should have been a redemption lesson. He finally knows what it is to actually have a heart and goes on to enjoy his life.

[StarkMad]

Awesome can we get her opinion on the new finale now?

[NKWTI]

Love her, and she’s exactly right. The writers silently know she’s right, that’s why the spin offs have gotten progressively better. New Blood wasn’t perfect, but it at least killed the bad ending and still isn’t over yet with Resurrection on the horizon, and Dexter Original Sin is probably the best Dexter show I’ve ever watched, it impressed me a lot.

[Murv]

It's so sad to know Deb wasn't in New Blood and won't come back in Resurrection 😢

[Afflictamine]

they could have made another whole season about Harrison and Dexter on the run, but nope they fucked it again lmao

[frankgallagher]

I actually like the ending now because i def didnt want him to die but now we get to have all these great spinoffs. Dexter: origins was fantastic. I cant wait for dexter: ressurection
