The finale itself was exactly what I was hoping for. And it really wasn't a finale as much as an episode to tie up lose ends and give the characters either a clean slate or a starting point for another story.
I was really surprised at how different this season was compared to last year. Season 1 was pretty much a situation where Dex is in a bit of a role reversal. The writers already play up the anti-hero approach with the character, but the framing of last season's story arch played well on our emotions regarding the character Dexter, and by the end of it everyone is ready to forgive his murderous spree once he confronts, and finds the truth behind, the Ice Truck Killer.
But with Season 2, the show plays on that emotion. Others think the Butcher is a good guy as well, but the entire season plays on the angle that Dex, regardless of the "good" things he does, he's still a killer, and by the end of it, an innocent man dies. In the first season, the Ice Truck Killer was the villain. Now it's Dexter himself. The entire story was devoted to firmly developing each character. Deb and LaGuerta's confrontation at the end, Rita and Dex, and Dex as an individual, and especially James Doakes, who, for the entire run, has been the antagonist, but by the finale, he's human. He's a good guy. He's a good cop. His sacrifice destroyed who he is.
