I'm gonna have some warm rotisserie chicken <snort> and fry up some ham and eggs in honor of the breakfast wizard. :)
Edited to add: Phooey to the naysayers. I loved the ending of Dexter. Just starting YJ, at 4 am. :)
I can't wait to find out what's going on and I'm sure I will be glued to this sub all of Saturday evening to read everyone's thoughts and memes! I'm ready to be surprised by the finale - each episode so far has flipped what we thought we knew. For a show with hundreds of fan predictions it sure is unpredictable! I have a suspicion about one thing we might see in the episode and its consequences:
The Theory: While the team is processing the aftermath of The Shroomcident they find something shocking in the woods. We see this scene in the trailer and there have been some great posts about what they could be looking at. My guess is that it is a body hanging from a tree, with Lottie's Antler Queen hood over its head. Here is a side-by-side where I outline what I THINK I can see in that blurry image. (TW: Hanging Body)
I think that body is Javi's and that in Season 2 the question on everyone's lips will not be "Is Adam Javi?" but "Who killed Javi?". If so, this will be another factor contributing to the group splitting because they will be trying to figure it out too. Causing them to become suspicious of each other, lose trust or make accusations, or maybe even fear that someone / something outside the group did it.
Let me know what you think!
Exactly 15 years ago today, I lost my best friend. He died from complications of a staph infection while battling Lymphoma. The whole "we're not alone" trope towards the finale of Endwalker broke me emotionally. I was a crying, sobbing mess for what felt like two hours. Then, I realized it was 5am, figured the last few scenes would be very long and heartbreaking, so I decided to log out and finish this morning.
So, I log in and head towards the final quest. I notice a Miqote sitting on the ground. I sat next to them, they clapped for me. Says "waiting for a friend." They're from Lamia, waiting for a friend on Famfrit.
This made me cry so hard. Because, I know if my best friend were still here, we would have waited for each other. This. THIS is what I love about this community. The bonds and memories people make, even if it's by accident.
Kaylora, if you ever read this, thank you for giving me the strength to carry on. You may not remember me in a few days or months, but your simple deed for a friend is something I'll never forget. You're the kind of friend everyone deserves. A true Warrior of Light.
Thank you,
S'nowy Road, Famfrit
Yeah. That was the whole post <3
Going into the last two episodes, I knew one thing- the IMDB ratings dropped for the last episode, and I had heard fans didn't like the final episode.
I loved S15E19. It was the perfect way to end Chuck. They gave him exactly what he deserved. I loved how they resolved Jack's storyline. It was a beautiful fun ending.
Then came the last episode.
I screamed when Dean was impaled. Through his dying words, I kept waiting for a hint that he was going to make it.
And then he didn't. And then, despite telling myself that it's just a show, I started sobbing.
It wasn't because Dean was dead. I sobbed because Sammy would be alone, and he didn't deserve that. And while I was glad he had a son and (I'm assuming) a wife/girlfriend/partner to share his life with, he didn't deserve to be left to hunt by himself. It just wasn't fair.
And my girlfriend, who had watched the first thirteen seasons before she met me and listened to me bellyache about Season 1 being a combination of "Monster of the Week" along with "Babe of the Week" (and I'm so grateful she did) sobbed even harder.
I was glad Dean got a good ending in heaven. I was glad there wasn't some crazy plot point, that Dean could enjoy beer, Bobby, and Baby.
And then Sam died, and I sobbed again, because I had the same conversation with my dad the night before he died of dementia. My dad couldn't walk, couldn't talk, wasn't really aware of where he was, didn't want to eat, and was a shell of the man who raised me. I told my dad that night it was okay to let go. My sister and I planned to go back to the hospice center the next day to spend the day with him, but he went on his own quietly that morning. Dementia robbed him of so much; I suspect whatever was left of him decided he wanted to go out his way, without a fuss.
It was a lovely ending. I'm probably still going to cry a bit today.
I'm so thankful to the people who made this show, not just because it's an amazing program. Not just because their labor gave my girlfriend and I something we could share together. It's just that in addition to that, they seem to be really good people who understood how special this whole thing was, and used it as a springboard for charity and fun conventions and goofy social media. They just...got it. And I'm thankful I got to enjoy their work.
Understandably, some folks are mad about Kingpin's depiction in the Hawkeye finale which has divided some fans. It's important to empathise with what they're saying.
People aren't mad because he had an off-screen, comic accurate 'death', but because of how it was set up. Kingpin in DD was extremely threatening both on and off screen not just for his physique, but because of his influence. He wasn't one to get his hands dirty when he didn't need to, and did it when he wanted to or had no other choice.
Throughout the other episodes and at the very start of the finale we got a glimpse of that same Kingpin - someone who's name alone brought fear. A man who was soft spoken and carried a lot of weight to their words and inaction - this was prevalent when he was speaking with Kazi and Eleanor.
However, the fight scene with Kate Bishop felt out of place for someone of his stature not to mention that he essentially 'lost'. They could have simply made them have a little tussle ultimately ending with him tossing Kate aside and walking away. This would have meant that Kate still walked away from a fight with Kingpin and it wouldn't be damaging to his character in terms of maintaining his threatening image.
Yes, he tanked a lot of shit in that fight but Fisk isn't threatening just from being physically strong.
Despite all this, he'll most likely be back in some form or another and I'm glad the King is back.
Shit, maybe I'm just ranting my own thoughts.
I put the spoiler tag just in case.
My finale idea goes like this: Someone, preferably Harrison, puts Dexter out of his misery and sends him back to his sister, etc.
Here's the thing: Now as we see Dexter die, we also see that Molly opens files from a hard drive, a gift from Dexter. See, Molly wants the scoop of her life, something that takes her career to the next level. Dexter wanted to be able to open himself to the world, but also to be accepted, to have a good reputation and to tell his own story according to him. So he sends her several recordings of himself confessing to being the Bay Harbor Butcher and telling his whole story.
Cue montage of Molly listening to the tapes and realizing what's going on, then everyone, from her fans to the people at Miami Metro, Batista, Masuka, Harrison, Audrey, Angela, everyone else in Iron Lake, reacting as they listen to Dexter explain everything about his life and work as a serial killer and as a person. By everything I mean everything. His personal life and motivations, but also the names of all his victims, why he killed them, their locations, where he used to hide the blood slides, what happened to them... We can hear Dexter's voice playing over his funeral, over the news, over the fallout at Miami Metro and Iron Lake, over the scene of Harrison moving somewhere else with Angela and Audrey to start a new life. We see Harrison listening at night, finally understanding his dad, through the episodes of the podcast by Molly Park ft. Dexter Morgan himself, called The Dark Passenger.
Out of nowhere after all these years, they turned dexter into the villian. That last episode was just made to have him look like a monster, especially having him kill logan which was entirely unnecessary. No fan was going to be on angela/ Harrisons side. They completely underestimated fans love for dex

Wow, this finale is everything I hoped it would be. It was again shot so beautifully, especially the >!love scene on the desk!<. What a jewel of a show. And to think I wasn't going to continue watching after the first episode, I'm so happy I gave it another chance.
It's just a shame the episodes were so short, but they did everyting they could with the time they got. I hope more people will watch the show now that it's airing on Viki too!
