All the Way to the Bank: Dexter Ends With Series-High 2.8 Million Viewers

If you were able to look past yesterday's chatter about Breaking Bad, you may have noticed that Dexter's final episode was also a hot topic of conversation. Of course, that conversation usually consisted of a butthurt blogger like myself bitching about how the finale was the 'worst episode ever.'

I didn't see it, so I really can't comment on the episode's quality (although, SPOILER ALERT, that 'lumberjack' stuff sounds pretty absurd END SPOILER). But regardless of how fans felt, 2.8 million of them tuned in to watch. That number climbs to 3.3 million if you factor in the second broadcast. Those numbers are the best in the series' run. And because it was the final episode, the fact that it seemed to alienate some fans really doesn't matter. It's like an old-timey medicine man selling elixirs out of his mule cart. By the time you figure out that his 'love tonic' isn't helping with your erectile dysfunction, he's already made off with your money, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Well done, Dexter. Well done indeed! (Source)
