A show about a forensic analyst for the Miami Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer started with such promise. What began as scintillating, pulsating must-see TV eventually puttered out into a melodramatic, overblown soap opera that asks its audience to take too big of a leap off the cliffs of logic which resulted in a convoluted conclusive season that took too long to take its final bow. It is time to expose the "dark passenger" of Dexter to the light by opening the shades to showcase the six biggest plot holes of the series' final season that stretched the fabric of reason to the point of explosive breakage.

This may be more obvious to the increasingly common binge-watcher, but it cannot be unsaid. The first seven seasons of Dexter notoriously featured some pretty obviously generic pieces of what would be normally branded technology. Bland search web pages, laptops, text messages and cell phones all seemed to exist in a world that never heard of Steve Jobs or Larry Page. But, suddenly came season eight, and with it, a plethora of Apple gadgets and real-world search engines that plopped out of the sky and gave the series a certain corporately-sponsored aesthetic that is so often missing in today's media.
