Apparently I woke up in crazytown because someone is suggesting Persona 4 is the weakest of 3/4/5.

Almost flipped my shit about Persona 4 being so low...until I figured out you were counting all of the re-releases.

Still too god damn low if you ask me.  Persona 4 is peak Persona.

Melanie Lynskey actually tweeted this weekend: “In tonight’s episode Warren Kole delivers my favorite line of the season.” I assume it had to be “Wait, there’s no book club?!”

Also as a side note, I found the production design of the series so refreshing, tactile, and real. Unlike so many streaming shows (And Just Like That, Morning Show, etc.) there were no shitty outdoor green screens, no obviously fake driving scenes, no indoor setpieces that looked like sets. The show was clearly filmed

“I wouldn’t have fucking killed him, I was going to hit him in the knees!”

My thoughts exactly. Go back to that penultimate episode when Harrison was in the basement with Dexter killing Kurt. When the blood flows down from the table and toward his feet, he got flashback to his mother’s death and was freaked out by the whole thing.

-My favorite line: “There’s no book club?!”

Pure misdirection. He's an angry kid with some serious issues but Dexter was in another league.

she plunges a knife into his heart. Adam is dead and theme music plays.

What? There’s no book club?

I don’t mind that they killed Dexter—I just assumed that would happen due to knowing what Clive Phillips wanted the main series to end, originally, which was Dexter being executed.

I am kind of upset with *how* they killed Dexter. Because it was set up that he was finally going to be held accountable for his actions,

The contrast is that Kurt was praising Harrison for causing harm to an innocent person, whereas Dexter was praising him for preventing any more innocent people from being harmed. I missed the repetition of these lines until you pointed it out, but I think they can still take on different meaning when used by Dexter

I think the point established is that Harrison doesn’t HAVE a dark passenger, that is the serial killer’s need to kill.  He has anger and dark thoughts which are natural given his situation but he is not a budding serial killer and will likely never kill again.

But isn’t the point of ending the show with Dexter’s letter to Hannah in the front seat of Harrison’s car to let Harrison off the hook for any guilt over the murder? The letter basically reads, “Please kill me.” And the show has been suggesting that killing Dexter is the authentic way to follow the code. The superhero

My guess is that the only way they could sell the revival to MCH was to make it a quick redemption for the awful Season 8 with a real finale.

I didn’t think it was worthy of an A, mainly because having Harrison kill Dexter doesn’t really solve anything. More that likely, Harrison is just going to continue the vicious cycle since he just killed a guy who deserved it (aka The Code). It would have been better had Angela capped Dexter at the end. And Dexter

You’re misremembering. Dexter never planned on killing Doakes. He was going to frame him as the Bay Harbor Butcher. Doakes was just killed by Lila before Dexter had that opportunity. I liked this finale as a whole, but I did find it slightly odd and out of character that Dexter would be desperate enough to kill Logan

Two echoes of Kurt from Dexter this episode...when Angela is interrogating him he says “I’m worried about you”, like Kurt did in episode 7 and when Harrison shoots him he says “you did good”, as Caldwell said when he broke that other kid’s arm in the wrestling match. Both word for word repetitions. Probably more there
