20 Most Paused TV Moments Of The Decade

By Jack Pooley /

10. Dexter The Lumberjack (Dexter - Season 8, Episode 12 )

The Moment: After Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is presumed dead once the wreckage of his boat is discovered following a storm, it turns out that Dex is alive and well, working as a lumberjack in Oregon. Why It Had To Be Paused: Regardless of your own feelings about the finale of Dexter, the sight of Dex with a large beard is certainly one that required a second look. More weird than satisfying, the end of Dexter was disappointingly familiar, and having Dex end up as a lumberjack just felt rather silly. Still, the sight of the slick, well-dressed blood spatter analyst being transformed into...this...by the show's end was certainly something to see.
