The longer I think about it the more I actually fucking hate it. No confrontation with angel. Dexter doesn't actually get found out. just "LOL FUCK U, HE DED".

Nah, Dexter was pretty fucked - he has a plausible out on Matt and the Bay Harbor stuff would be tough to reopen without actual physical evidence tying him to that. The drug dealer is a maybe. Showing Angela that he knew about Kurt and didn't report it brings up a lot of questions he's going to struggle to answer. The cumulative effect of all of that circumstancial evidence plus him faking his death means he's exposed, whether convicted or not. If he disappears, maybe he's a small time killer on the run and the larger implications never develop, or at least he can get out of the country.
My shower thought for the morning was that killing Molly was a boneheaded move. Even if they didn't have time to dig into the above, you had a character on hand that could document Dexter's unravelling to millions of listeners to her podcast and a scene of her hitting record could have implied the blowup that was to come. If you wanted to do something cool, the promised big announcement could have been a real Fuck Murder Kill episode which could have served as that epilogue and resolution to the story. But she's dead and I can't think of what story purpose that served aside from them not having any more for her to day.

The big announcement seems to have been a physical release of New Blood coming in March. There's apparently a 30 minute featurette included but it seems reasonable to assume there won't be anything earthshaking in it. I'm mostly just relieved they're not making a Harrison spinoff.

Yeah, we really don't need a Harrison spinoff when all is said and done.
Some people were saying that he should have gone to prison, not get killed, but Michael C Hall evidently wanted this to be a definitive ending and even if he was in prison, you could have him escape, it's not a perfect ending, it's a bit rushed, but Dexter's overall premise was always going to make an actual ending hard, personally I accept it and I'm just glad we finally have closure after 15 years.
I think the clear implication is that as soon as Angel arrived he was screwed, Angel had a whole file of LaGuerta's evidence against him.

What is the most annoying about the last episode is how much Dexter was out of character.
- They have no evidence on him. Sure, there's a titanium bar in the burnt wreckage of his home that leads him to Mark, but his house was burnt down by arson. Even a fucking public defense attorney would point out that this shit was planted in there so the police would find it afterwards
- Reopen the Bay Harbor Butcher case? Based on what? The fact that he faked his death? Or that he did a couple of things that could be argued was part of the MO of the BHB? There was no physical body, no one he killed, he wasn't caught with anything, and again even with a public defense attorney, he could have simply said 'Look it was a huge case when I was there, so I used my knowledge of it in order to attack that dude' if he wanted to plead it down to assault or whatever and even that would be a stretch. There is no way they'd reopen the Bay Harbor Butcher based on this shit.
- His ace in the hole: he knows about Kurt's gallery of horror. There is no way that he wouldn't be able to parlay this into immunity and getting the charges dropped in exchange for closing 25 cases of murder that he clearly wasn't involved with.
All he had to do was lawyer up, say that he's willing to give the location of 20+ murdered victim in exchange for immunity, and then he would have been out in 5 minutes, yeah sure now with the internet his face his out but he can just grow a beard, dye his hair and move to like, Colombia with Harrisson.
So fucking retarded.

Even with that, I doubt it would have been enough, or even then he could have parlayed his knowledge of Kurt's victim for full immunity. No fucking DA would be like 'Yeah sure I'm gonna prosecute this bullshit charge instead of closing 25 years worth of murdered in the biggest serial killer case of my career'
Exactly he wasn't even charged with anything so even before getting lawyers involved they would have had to release him and he could have run then.

It is a TV show and following the show's logic Angel showing up is supposed to = game over.
You are supposed to feel like Dexter came close to getting away with it yet again though, hence why they tease the idea of him and Harrison moving to L.A. but then you're shocked by the conclusion.

I do wish they could have spread the ending out over 2 episodes, or do a 2 hour series finale. It would have been great to see Batista show up and confront Dexter. "You faked your own death and became a lumba-jack, Dex?"

Even if Batista shows up with his binder full of evidence, so what? They won't be able to keep Dexter without charging him, there is no way right now he's not just gonna be able to go out on bail. What crime did he commit? Why is he under arrest? He would have to be extradited to Florida, etc... it makes no fucking sense legally. Even for the show it makes no sense that he would kill the coach like that (which is the only reason Harrison turns on him, etc...)

Dexter could have a great lawyer, but he's been accused of murder with physical evidence that seems to confirm the victim's death and strongly suggests his involvement.. There's the drug dealer (who he's been caught dead to rights beating the shit out of) and the drug manufacturer whose name Dexter got just before he died, along with a common and distinctive mark connecting the two. There's a lot of circumstantial stuff in there, but Dexter knows Angie's got everything right and has already made a lot of progress in building a case. He also knows he's been sloppy in Iron Lake and all of that plausibly makes him less than confident that she can't make something stick.
If that's not good enough, he has a demonstrable ability and willingness to literally fake his death and disappear. He's also been faking his identity including a forged or stolen government issued ID (the driver's license he flashes to Angie when she pulls him over, and presumably he's used something to get himself allowed to sell firearms). It's not going to be hard to get a judge to deny him bail.
In Miami Dexter was a bland nice guy who no one could imagine doing anything dangerous. (except date Hannah, I guess) But the last thing anyone in Miami saw him do was kill his sister's killer with a pen and now know he faked his death. A lot of people will be reevaluating their interactions with Dexter, and when they start sharing information or simply speculating ("are we sure Trinity killed Rita?") that could go in unpredictable directions. They don't need to nail him as the real BHB - he can get taken down for one thing if they can prove it, and if they're pissed and alarm bells are ringing they may be determined to make something stick.
I think you're underestimating how sideways it all could go while he's stuck in a cell unable to influence or even know how things are playing out, and Dexter is used to taking an active role in his fate. And whether he wants to believe it or not, Harrison is too new to his life to fully count on him staying loyal. Not making a break for it is a huge gamble. But regardless of the legal outcome, the facades he's built to blend safely in the world are gone. His best option is to vanish before anything can gain traction. He won't be un-caught, but without him in hand people may choose to focus on trying to find him instead of build a case against him by untangling his past.

The clear implication is that he’s screwed, could Dexter have fought it? Maybe, but it was no guarantee and the first rule of the code is don't get caught.

Here are some better endings than what we got:
Lethal injection.
cyber-dokes teams up with mecha-trinity and dexter enlists the power rangers to help him defeat them.
Dexter gets away with it, and moves to LA
The cult of moloch shit from the third book is cannon.
Dexter gets cleared and goes back to work with miami metro.
It was a daydream taking place during season 1 the whole time.
Dexter fights the Ice truck killer again, but this time its a clone of dexter, MADE OF ICECREAM.
Everyone shits their pants and has a seizure.

That Dexter ending was absolute crap. I can’t express how meaningless it was, it was like they made Dexter completely lobotomised at the mercy of his bitch of a gf. The ending was cringe because it implied Harrison was going to take up the mantle which is gay and retarded -if you were going for that why did you need to murder the main character? It’s not like you did this exact same ending before. Kurt was definitely the big card for Dexter to weasel his way out of the charges + get some deal. It just feels like the writing staff couldn’t be bothered and ripped of the ending of other crime stuff/breaking bad to wrap it up. Disappointing too.

You know what would have been a great fucking finale?
Dexter is cut, dexter is fucked, dexter uses Kurt's chamber of horror. Finale ends up with Dexter being sentenced to, let's say, 10 years in prison for what he did to the dealer, or tampering with a dead body, or whatever bullshit charge you can think of.
That leaves you with Dexter going to jail, but not forever. So you have the question of 'Is he gonna end up like Paul? Is he gonna try to kill someone in prison? Is he gonna get helped? His secret is out then.'
And it leaves the door open for another limited series 10 years from now where a bloodthirsty Dexter is out on parole, feels the need to kill but forensics have advanced to a point where he's really out of his depth. Is he gonna kill again? Get away with it? Team up with Harrison?
And even if the limited series doesn't happen, you are still left with a much more satisfying ending, in the sense that 1) dexter did get caught 2) he kind of got away with it 3) at the same time he didn't, The Shield style.

No straight up the worst part is that Dexter's girlfriend is the one who caused his downfall, because she's so fucking bland.

Yeah, I would have much preferred if Dexter got caught because he was sloppy, but no, he was caught because Kurt sent him evidence through the mail AND his ex-girlfriend is some angry cunt.
Like why the fuck would she be so angry at Dexter when he helped showing that Kurt was responsible for the murder and shit? Then she gets that letter and completely forgets about Kurt? I get she's a cop and everything, but she was an unlikeable cunt.

did I just watch the end of a fkn John Hughes movie?
Yeah, that was really bad.
Dexter gets killed off by an aggravating cunt of a character that was basically introduced as a Mc Guffin to get him to act stupid at key points in the season.
I have no interest in a Harrisson spin-off/reboot so they better find a way to bring Dexter back to life if they are going to do another one.

All of the Dexter's Lab jokes aside, I've actually watched this entire series. Of course he died. I don't get why that disappoints so many of you. (Unless you prefer the books, and if so, fair enough.)
Dexter was a serial killer, and he broke his own code over the course of this series- more than once. Maybe it wasn't the most satisfying possible ending, but Dexter 100% deserved what he got.
To be clear though, I don't want to see a Harrison series either.
