“Some people will have predicted it, and some will be shocked by it.” Michael C. Hall breaks down the DexterNewBlood finale

. Legions of fans hooked on the drama about blood-spatter analyst/serial killer Dexter Morgan blasted the finale as a bewildering, open-ended misfire. That grumbling continued for years, calmed only by the launch of “Dexter: New Blood” in November.

In the episode, titled “Sins of the Father,” Morgan is killed by his son Harrison , who had been abandoned by Morgan at the end of “Dexter.” Realizing that his misdeeds have finally caught up to him and that he will never be able to make things right with Harrison — the only person he could ever truly love — Morgan persuades the teenager to end his life.

“Dexter: New Blood” has been a solid hit for Showtime, both on its premium cable platform and its streaming service. The premiere drew 9.1 million viewers, making it Showtime’s most-watched drama debut. The limited series has averaged 7.6 million viewers weekly across all platforms and has topped all seasons of the original series.

When “Dexter: New Blood” opens, Morgan has settled in his new life in Iron Lake, living under an alias — Jim Lindsay — and enjoying romantic bliss with Bishop. However, he is tormented by the ghost of Deb and his dark tendencies are reawakened when Matt Caldwell , the arrogant son of the town’s unofficial mayor, Kurt Caldwell , comes to town.Michael C. Hall’s back, plastic wrap in hand, in Showtime’s serial killer drama “Dexter: New Blood.

“Out of the desire not to get caught, Dexter kills someone that in no way fits the code,” Hall said. “And it’s someone that his son, who he loves above all others, revered. In that moment, Dexter apologizes to another human being for all he’s done to that person, and experiences a sense of connection to a person he’s never experienced before. It’s like, ‘I’m having a full experience of being a human being now, and could you please kill me because it’s unbearable.

The filming of Morgan’s demise was not especially emotional or ceremonious for Hall for one simple reason: It took place during the first weeks of shooting.

Protest outside Chicago City Hall against vaccine mandate for entering bars, restaurantsThe protesters said that the vaccine mandates eliminate a person's freedom of choice. False. They choose to self isolated or get vaccinated. Just cause they don't like the choices doesn't mean that don't have any. I wonder if these people get mad that they have to wait in line at secuirty checkpoints in airports even though they know they aren't a threat. One can 30 minutes and the other 3 seconds. However I don't see a vaccination proof making a difference. Go back to temp checks.
