If not for an entire season, an episode featuring an A-list actor vs Dexter in as "cat-and-mouse" a game as Trinity forced him into would have been a satisfying conclusion to the aspect that the show has received the majority of its praise from. Personally, a guest arc with fellow cable star James Gandolfini (R.I.P.) would have been perfect an perhaps an even more anticipated episode than the finale. While that may be wishful thinking, I do have to wonder whether the crew was in talks with Lithgow-caliber talent at any point during production.
Although Olive Saxon is portrayed with a fine performance by up-and-comer Darri Ingolfsson, the opportunity to amaze does seem to be squandered a bit in this regard.
Note: frankly, I was planning on doing this poll earlier in the season but now I am interested to know how many other fans feel the same now that the A-list potential has been missed. Follow this article's author on Twitter:
