While I thought that the ending to the finale was exciting, and obviously set the stage for next season, there were a few things about it that bothered me.
The first one, obviously, that Dexter didn't lock or block off the door to the church. That just seems stupid.
The second one, that when Deb entered the church, she heard yelling, and obviously could tell there was something going down, and yet she just walked towards it like a moron. She's a friggin' police officer, shouldn't she have at least drawn her gun? She was going to what was a crime scene that had yet to be cleared... it just seemed really ridiculous to me that when she first heard yelling between Dexter and Travis that she didn't actually act like a "police officer".
I think the final scene could have been much more powerful and intense if Deb had stumbled upon Dexter killing Travis with her gun drawn, and the final scene showing her pointing it at Dexter, unsure what to do.
All that said though, this wasn't my favourite season by any stretch, but the ending was exciting and I am really looking forward to the next one!
