OK.. That wasn't bad..

Warning: Spoilers
The episode before the series finale of Dexter, 'Monkey in a Box' was in comparison, not as bad an episode as the others of this season.

The episode starts and carries on the same thread of Dexter saying goodbye to his friends, Deb and his colleagues of Miami Metro. Not much happens Story-wise but however, the plot turns out to show that Dexter gets more and more tended towards becoming normal, which was kind of nice to me. Many will not like this twist but hey, what the hell, we can't always satisfy everyone. By the end, the tension mounts enough for us to wait for the finale and by the next week, we will be done with Dexter.

Specially in this episode, the ways Dexter follows and uses to solve problems like opening computers are so effing dumb. There was very little of the original sharp writing left by the time this Series reached season 8 and that too, its last episodes, making Dexter just another average American Sitcom, disappointingly.

The ending better be very powerful and justify the amount of dumbness we put up with so far in season 8. But anyway, this episode has indeed shown some signs of a potentially satisfying and an unpredictable ending. So, I should say, there is still some hope left for Dexter.
