it's all about the cash.. i was reading the EW article a few months back... it's showtime's highest rated show
showtime didn't want to end it.. wanted to go another 2-3 seasons but the show runner said no
michael c hall (dexter) also didn't want to do it anymore. he almost didn't want to reup on his contract last time
deb never wanted to reveal the whole "i love dexter" plot either... she fought it all the way and said it should have been something her character always kept a secret
basically showtime just milking this shyt for money and rating and admitted as such... but people still in here talking bout "no nothing has changed, same old dexter"
i also liked season 7 like poster above but yea this is showtime were talking about..a network that milked weeds 5 seasons too long.. shyt i remember season 7 of weeds was supposed to be the last as well.. but cacs stick with bad shows so they re upped for 8 like they did this one
