Well, after reading 500 comments on the end of Dexter, and interviews with producers, came to my final conclusion about the episode: I think they tried to do something lazy and too poetic. The series has always had care for every detail and was made the least these last two episodes. All though the series was based on a novel, they could do a sad ending and at the same time more realistic. In my opinion the episode was good until the most pointless part: Dexter taking Deb's body off to the hospital with no one to see, just to throw it in the river. I caught any message transmitted this part: take Deb's body on the boat to throw it in the river, as if he had killed her. But it was Debra, a SUPER important character in the series and she deserved a proper burial and farewells. Apart from that, I understand the meaning in the death of Debra. Throughout the series, every time Dexter got involved and undertook with some killer, something happened to someone important and close to him, so much that his plan was not to kill Saxon so the whole family could live in peace. But Saxon ended up killing someone he cared (Vogel), shooting Debra, and because of that he thinks that he's the most guilty of the death of Debra. I thought that was a beautiful scene when he turns off the appliances of Debra, so she would not suffer anymore, since all his life Dexter has been taking care of her. And I understand that Dexter lumberjack was a kind of exile for him, all thought it was unnecessary. The bright side for me is that, despite the weak end, the series still has great moments and seasons that will weigh more and will still make one of my favorites series forever.
