We've watched every episode of Dexter ever. We love the show, and think Michael C.Hall is unbelievasationaltastic. We made up that word, just for him. But....
This third season was by far the worst of the three. And by Dexter standards, that season finale was downright lame. We weren't the only ones who thought so. Although, weirdly, there were a number of people who absolutely loved the episode. Still, Dexter executive producer Clyde Phillips has heard what all us haters have been saying out here in the blogosphere. And he wants us to know we're wrong.
Some of the blogs were disappointed [in the finale]. Not enough blood. They didn't want any subtlety. We stand by what we did, and we did a good job.
Dude, don't get hurt patting yourself on the back. We weren't disappointed by the "subtlety", and, frankly, that episode wasn't very subtle at all. Some blood from Dexter's hand does a slo-mo drip onto Rita's wedding dress at the season's close? Oooh, subtlety. What's that about? Explain, Mr. Phillips.
It was about the normalcy, with the omen of the blood dripping, and the message that nothing is ever right in his world.
Gee, thanks. We never would have got that. Here's a thought:
YOUR SHOW IS ABOUT A SERIAL KILLER. SUBTLETY SHOULD MAYBE NOT BE YOUR GOAL.
