I would be very sad if they eventually end the show with him being reformed. I think it would be a cop-out by the writers in an attempt to not kill off a likable character and i think it would be unrealistic.
If they have to eventually end the series, I would prefer they have him killed. I think though that the show has quite a while left with possibilities though. I at least would like to see it last long enough for his own child to end up old enough that Dexter has to make the same decisions that his father did with him. Does Dexter's child have the same hunger? Does Dexter have to teach him the same lessons? In the end is that what gets Dexter killed... at some point down the road taking his child with him, things end up badly and in a final scene, Dexter finally shows some compassion by putting his own life on the line so his child could get away?
I see all kinds of possibilities for this show.
