this whole season was just NOT the Dexter we knew....it changed everything, right from the very nature of Dexter himself, since when does he curl up in a ball or cry? we were all a little bit happy to see our dark vigilante started to find some peace, but that's not how it should have been. Afet four seasons with Rita and the children, all it took was a few kills with a raped girl and now he knew her better than anyone, and she was even making him change??
not to mention one big change this season...fate and luck seemed to be doing Dexter a HUUUGE favor throughout the season, everything falls in place...from him getting an upper hand on his enemies to making a simple escape like it was a tom and Jerry cartoon.
Dexter is my all time favorite show, but season five trashed it, badly....maybe the incoherence throughout the season would have been much easier to forget if the finale wasn't too clichéd and cheesy.
this show had a great four season run, season five took the darkness out of Dexter and it didn't even feel like he was the center of the show anymore, i really hope season six doesn't ruin it anymore cause it will probably be the final season of the show, and i don't want him to go out with such a bad exist...not when he had such a great entrance and a great run for most of it.
