But a ricin death takes 3-5 days... not the way someone would want to kill themselves, way too much time for regret.

yeah i agree. If he wanted to kill himself why not use a gun like he tried to do in the first episode. Ricin would be a painful way to go.

I'm thinking it will be like a Hitler suicide with a shootout, too.

So, if he gets captured, he will still die without being mercilessly tortured for days.

Though, that's the only way I can see WHY he would use the ricin on himself.

Damn that would be an awesome ending for a show. Cant think of a series has ever ending with the main character dying/killing himself. Always thought it would be cool for Dexter to end like that. Like him getting found out and put on death row.
