There ’s nothing inherently ill-timed with the ending where Dexter dies to ante up for his criminal offense , but the simple fact thatNew Bloodalready did it meansResurrectioncan’t . Even ifResurrectionfixesNew Blood ’s mistakes and prove Dexter ’s death in a more satisfying way , it will still palpate like a rehash of the previous show . Many viewers would enquire what the point ofOriginal Sinresurrecting Dexter was ifResurrectionis just going to kill him again . It seems that Dexter ’s execution is fated to stay as a temporary end fromNew Bloodand a abbreviated reference inDexter : Original Sin .
