I called the ending about halfway through the episode. I'm hopeful with the direction they're going now. At least two more seasons so things could get good!
Hahaha, I just finished it. I'm pretty shocked that it was for realz this time instead of whatever happened last time (I watched it while high so I don't recall exactly what happened last time). This whole season was pretty awesome. Cannot wait for next. :DHoly shit, finale was sick!
I didn't know you could evolve without variation. And exactly how different is one season from another? Hell, even some of the characters are recycled: Doakes dies so that Quinn may live and essentially provide Dexter with the same conflict.
Season 4 is my favorite because of the strength of John Lithgow's acting.
