Chills! Former Dexter Producer Clyde Phillips Reveals How He Planned to End the Series
Dexter is no more. In case you haven't yet seen tonight's series finale, we won't post any spoilers here about Dexter Morgan (
Michael C. Hall) getting a sex change and running off with Masuka. (Jokes!)
But we can exclusively share with you an amazing alternate ending.
Clyde Phillips served as an executive producer and showrunner on
Dexter in the early years, helping shape the series for its first four seasons until he decided to leave the show in late 2009, at the end of the Trinity Killer (
John Lithgow) season, which ended with Rita's shocking death.
READ NOW: See how many Dexter fans wanted Dexter to die
I tracked down Phillips, who now serves as executive producer of Showtime's
Nurse Jackie, and asked (OK, possibly begged) him to share what he had planned for the very end of
Dexter...assuming he had one.
Turns out, he did have a very specific ending in mind, and it's possibly one of the best series-finale ideas I've ever heard.
"I haven't shared this with anyone," Philips told me. "And I can tell you that this is what I personally would have done should I have stayed with the show. I chose not to stay with the show, and so everybody did what they did, and I had no problem with that…and I think they did a good job with the final episode. But here is what I personally would have pitched."
SCOOP: Will there be a Dexter spinoff?
"In the very last scene of the series," Philips explained, "Dexter wakes up. And everybody is going to think, 'Oh, it was a dream.' And then the camera pulls back and back and back and then we realize, 'No, it's not a dream.' Dexter's opening his eyes and he's on the execution table at the Florida Penitentiary. They're just starting to administer the drugs and he looks out through the window to the observation gallery.
"And in the gallery are all the people that Dexter killed—including the Trinity Killer and the Ice Truck Killer (his brother Rudy), LaGuerta who he was responsible killing, Doakes who he's arguably responsible for, Rita, who he's arguably responsible for, Lila. All the big deaths, and also whoever the weekly episodic kills were. They are all there.
"That's what I envisioned for the ending of
Dexter. That everything we've seen over the past eight seasons has happened in the several seconds from the time they start Dexter's execution to the time they finish the execution and he dies. Literally, his life flashed before his eyes as he was about to die. I think it would have been a great, epic, very satisfying conclusion."
Anyone else have chills from the top of their scalp to the tip of their toes?
Phillips further explained that his idea for the ending was inspired by
An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge, the 1890 story by
Ambrose Pierce about a Confederate soldier that is famous for its time-altering, plot-twisting ending. When the soldier is hanged, the rope breaks, he falls into the river, swims to shore, runs toward his family, see his wife and children and right before they are reunited, the rope catches and he dies. It turns out that the entire story takes place in the two to three seconds between the soldier's intial drop and his neck snapping.
