(*Spoilery, of course)

From the standpoint of Dexter's struggle to become/feel human, the scene with him letting Deb go - "I can't let you stay like this, I'm your big brother"- and him admitting his feelings at last was pretty profound. That is, all along what the writers have been aiming at through the progression of the show (and why this season has been most unlike the past Dexter as they proceeded to shove this theme down our throats). I found that scene kind of eerie (fittingly Dexterish) and executed quite well. Everything leading up/afterwards aside..

If you had an inkling of care for Deb's character, it had to have struck a bit of a chord. If it didn't, then obviously you're kind of inhuman yourself as you've watched 8 years of a show without developing any connection whatsoever with the characters.

So I can give the finale that. Deb's motives / reactions were at least always believable and so was the character, so at least her sendoff was actually half decent. Otherwise, I'm glad they didn't prolong this painful stumble to the finish any longer. I always imagined much greater things for seasons 6 and 7 (5 isn't bad). Just so unfortunate for a show that by the end of season 4 was amongst the best programs out there. The 4 finale was probably one of the most shocking moments to ever air.

I'll finally add that I don't think Hannah should have ever been apart of the show. It would have been far, farrr better off. And not because I don't think she's nice to look at..she is. But she spelled the end for whatever good qualities the show had left. Damn those hot blondes..
