Honestly, I really wish I didn't watch this episode. If the season ended with the episode right before this one, it would have been a great season. Instead, we have this nonsensical ending. What a disappointment considering I binge watch seasons 1-4 of the original Dexter regularly.
"Military leaders since the city states of early Greece have known, that tried and tested methods of getting rid of an adversary is to provoke into an attack a more powerful enemy.
Provide an ambitious adversary with a backing of a seemingly invincible army and he is bound to go hunting for even his toughest rival...
Making sure your adversary is eliminated, then becomes about pulling that backing once he has declared war on his rival, when it's too late for him to take it all back."
This quote is a good example of why this show can be so addicting. Some of the drama is a little played out, but the military references make the show very engaging.

This episode is original, perceptive, and accurate. It is remarkable how each side portray their viewpoints on different political issues – health care, education, dependency on foreign oil, etc. The West Wing has always been a great show examining a vast array of political issues – while remaining fair to both Democrats and Republicans.
This episode is not like conventional episodes. It is literally a passionate debate between two sides. While watching the debate, I felt very engaged, it reminded of the first debate between President Obama and Senator McCain in the sense that an underdog is able to stand toe-to-toe with his competitor and debate with authority.
I highly recommend this episode because it felt like the old West Wing episodes that only Aaron Sorkin could deliver. Like many people that love the West Wing, I will agree that the show took a turn towards dull and uninspiring after Aaron Sorkin stopped writing, but this episode restored itself confirming that it is the best political show television has ever seen.
