It's one of my favorite seasons, but the finale for whatever reason I have yet to pin point, kind of left me dissatisfied, but perhaps it was meant to.
I liked how the season had so many twists and turns all the time, because it allowed for it to be very unpredictable. The writers IMO were extra cheeky with characters being shifty, some situations coming out of left field, and finding a new way to look at Dexter, but finally take a closer look at Debra by really challenging her.
I loved Isaak and I enjoyed and felt for Hannah. I though Quinn's storyline was the least interesting, although I was sure he was going to die this season and the wammy with Jamie at the end, has me really reel'n about the state of this reality...
I think killing LaGuerta was a given, but I find the circumstances of her death unexpected and horrifically sad, because there isn't any real justice in it, since Debra panicked, didn't think there was any other solution, immediately regretted it, and because Dexter showed Debra no affection/compassion in the wake of her crossing a line.
I'm confused if Hannah actually poisoned Debra or not, because although she tells Dexter she had, the scene with her and Debra almost seemed to suggest Hannah gave Dexter a false confession to spare him his feelings...otherwise I don't think she could accuse Deb of doing something and being a big hypocrite, which Deb often is.
There were lots of tie-backs and juxtapositions to characters and ideas presented in other seasons like Sal Price and Gabriel with themes of "Ice Princess". The character continue to do things that don't make sense, which I find very amusing.
I am curious what the next season will bring and if Deb will ever be the same again, or is that reached a revelation about herself that she had been in denial about, not just being in love, but being a killer?? What will Hannah do now? I am anxious for the next season...
Yet for all their evolution, they form no bonds.
Love does not exist for them. They are incapable of dreaming,
Of contemplating beauty, Of knowing something greater than themselves.
