Not to mention he has clearly been emotionally affected by the deaths of Rita and Brother Sam. He is a single father, and has all the stresses that brings. He's just had the episode with Rudy, and Harry and the code kind of has slipped to the back of his mind.

It's completely believable he'd be more susceptible to mistakes.

Guess we decided spoiler tags are unnecessary!

Spoiler

 Just finished the finale! As always was expecting some last minute twist that would leave you waiting for months for the next season, and it was exactly what I thought the series needed. Besides personal accomplices, no regular in the series knows of Dexters secret, and finally the plot thickens. The episode itself was fairly weak, but the ending alone made it brilliant.

 I cannot wait for whatever happens next season, as long as it's not as shit as season 5. Season 4 was the best finale so far as far as twists go, but this will be a game changer, and hopefully they capitalize on it.

Predictions for next season?

He's supposed to be a sociopath who can't feel emotions. Do you not remember the episode where he's in the hospital along with all the other coppers to see if the young copper is going to pull through. Dexter says he knows how he 'should' act amongst them but can't feel the emotions of sadness, joy etc

He's supposed to be a non-feeling cold killer but one that only goes after the 'bad guys'.

the code kind of has slipped to the back of his mind.

More like its slipped to the back of the writers' minds and they've got lazy in terms of their writing.

There very obviously has been a change of writers or something behind the scenes because this season has been really poor. There were more  believable plot developments in Transformers 3 and that involved robots that could fly and turn themselves into trucks.

How many times do they have to go over the fact that he DOES have those feelings for his son, before you fucking get it by the way?

We get it, you want to watch Hitman: Blood Money the series. Well boo-fucking-hoo. What you'll actually get is a show with character development. Keeping Dexter (the character) exactly the same would be an absolutely colossal mistake.

And of the 12 episodes only two were written exclusively by writers who hadn't worked on the show prior to this year. The rest were written by people who have been on the show since at least 2009.

Then the 2 new writers are shit, don't understand the character or nuances of the show, and the remaining writer has run out of ideas, which is why Series 6 has completely jumped the shark.

What next? Dexter in some Ray Bans, leathers, on a top of a Harley, with a shotgun on the back of it going after murderers? Hasta La Vista Babeee!!!

With shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under, and even something like BSG, it was the quality of the writing and originality of ideas that set them apart as well as logical character development and storylines. Series 1-5 of Dexter were superb in every way, though Series 4 shows occasional signs of iffiness in relation to the 'Trinity' character (who came across a bit like a fluffy grandad character). Series 5 picked up again with the Lumen relationship and the creepy Jordan Chase character, but Series 6 has taken it things down several levels of poor quality writing, plots made up during the writer's lunch hours, and implausible character development. There were occasional flashes of quality but on the whole it became increasingly bad. The whole switcheroo of the characters' roles down at the police was also just stoopid and just straighjackets all the characters.

"Worse, it suggests a radical rewrite of Deb which renders her pitiful. It steals power from a very powerful woman — and it gives it all to her increasingly despicable brother. Dexter is now a witless, heartless jerk, dispensing his own brand of justice. Deb, smarter, more in charge of herself and her voice, is slowly being demoted to a nervous, weeping wreck begging for a taste of that manliness for no true dramatic reason.

There’s apparently two seasons of “Dexter” left. And a good deal of the remaining episodes will address the question: How deep is your love, Deb? Or maybe the question to ask the writers is this: How low will you drag your finest creation?"

Loved the painting on the wall with dexter's face on it, would like the same with mine on it over my bed (i'm an ugly fuck, it'll work  :D) - bit of a random dexter-related thought, granted, but soon as i saw it, it kinda reminded me of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album cover (altho nothing like it really), and thought that'd be sweeeeet!

Just caught up with the whole of this series.  Thought Hanks Jnr was pretty ropey and a massive charisma vacuum and there's still a fair few loose ends to be tied up.  Plus stuff like Dexter sending that video message with his phone, etc, seemed a bit dumb.  Nowhere near as bad as some people in this thread have suggested, though, and that ending sets up the next series perfectly.  It's about time the dynamic was changed.

Oh, and Deb used to really annoy me but I kind of like her now.
