Question: Are the producers of Dexter interested in creating a spin-off or something different?
About the article "Dexter (TV series)", section "Spin-off series".

Candidate passages:
Executive producer Lorraine Newman said: "Dexter is a force of nature: cheeky, forthright, confident but highly protective of his mum and vice versa."
Best described Dexter as having a "watchful eye," over his mother particularly.
Best said that he and Dexter had a similar background, but both he and his character make the best of their lives.
In an interview with "Inside Soap", Best said there are many different sides to the character's personality.
Dexter does not have a problem admitting his mistakes, if he feels he has made an error in his judgement.
In a behind the scenes interview, Best described Dexter as a "very passionate person.
If he sees something wrong he won't let things lie."
Best said "Dexter has a funny way of charming the pants off of people."
In an interview with "Radio Times", Best described Dexter as being "very eccentric."
In a television interview on ITV's "Lorraine", Best said "Dexter is full of mischief.
He's always full of mischief..." 
In April 2013, Showtime president, David Nevins said that even though the series would end with Season 8, all options of continuing the series were "on the table".
Original reports were for a series to be built around the Debra Morgan character.
Dexter's showrunner, Scott Buck re-signed with Showtime for two years which further heated up discussion on a spin-off series.
On January 14, 2014, Nevins announced that they were in discussions for a spin-off series to "Dexter".
Nevins said that a new series would happen only do it if Michael C. Hall returned.
Nevins stated: "We're at the very preliminary stage.
That show is that character... and if I were to do something, I would do "Dexter" in a new concept and configuration.
I want the show to feel different, not just a continuation of the old show."
Michael C. Hall responded to the possible spin-off series saying he would be interested in returning.
Hall said: "I can't even wrap my mind around that.
And it's all just theoretical until there is some sort of script reflecting somebody's idea of where it could possibly go.
But it's hard for me to imagine what that would be.
Yeah, as far as playing Dexter again for an undefined amount of time, that's a little daunting to consider.
But doing another television series — there's a lot of amazing stuff on TV.
I don't want to do that right away.
But I wouldn't say never to that."
The first season introduces Dexter Morgan, a forensic blood splatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department.
Dexter is also a serial murderer who targets only other killers.
How he came to be a serial killer and develop his unique Code of morality is revealed in flashbacks throughout the episodes.
At a young age, an orphaned Dexter is found by police officer Harry Morgan, who adopts the boy.
How he lost his parents is a traumatic memory he represses.
When Dexter and Harry's daughter Debra ask about Dexter's real parents, Harry only says that they died in a tragic accident.
At an early age, Dexter begins killing animals and showing signs that he doesn't emotionally connect with people.
Seeing that the boy's homicidal tenancies are rising and can't be fully quelled, Harry decides to help the boy channel them.
Harry teaches Dexter how to hide his actions from police investigations and that if he must kill then it should only be murderers who are escaping the law.
Dexter comes to refer to these guidelines as "The Code" or "Harry's Code" - Rule 1 is to never be caught, Rule 2 is to only kill those whom he knows without a doubt are killers.
Harry's daughter Debra is unaware of her adopted brother's true nature and doesn't know why her father spends so much time with him on "hunting trips."
Harry puts off Dexter killing an actual person for as long as possible, but finally gives his adopted son permission to do so when he is in the hospital and realizes his nurse has been killing patients.
In season 7, Dexter clarifies that he is 20 years old when he first kills a human being.
Harry died in a hospital soon afterward, from heart difficulties.
Throughout the season, Dexter (now in his 30s and working for the police) verifies the guilt of his chosen victims before stalking and incapacitating them.
As a general rule, he injects them with a tranquilizer that immediately puts them to sleep.
Dexter takes the victim to a specially-prepared room, sometimes their own homes, which he has covered entirely in plastic and sometimes decorated with artifacts acknowledging the person's crimes.
The victim wakes up naked, immobilized and secured to a table by tape and plastic wrap.
Dexter confronts them about their crimes as he uses a scalpel and glass slide to obtain a sample of blood from their right cheek.
The blood slide is added to a collection of similar trophies he keeps hidden in his apartment.
After killing his victim (sometimes using a weapon that calls back to their own crime), Dexter butchers the body into smaller pieces placed in different trash bags.
He then takes his boat The Slice of Life to a special spot of the bay harbor and dumps the bags.
Dexter's life as a killer is a secret from everyone.
To appear more normal, he dates Rita, a mother with two children Astor and Cody, whose husband is in jail.
Dexter chooses Rita because her abusive past and fear of intimacy means she is not initially interested in sex and he can keep her at a distance.
At work, Dexter is seen as a friendly, if occasionally odd colleague with excellent insight on the nature of murderers.
His sister Debra Morgan, who works in the vice department at the beginning of the season, regularly goes to Dexter for advice.
Dexter's superior Lt. LaGuerta flirts with him and he is considered a friend by CSI Masuka and Detective Angel Batista.
Only Sgt.
James Doakes is suspicious of Dexter's behavior, believing he takes joy in looking at blood and murder scenes.
Doakes doesn't hide his dislike of Dexter.
The season starts with a string of murders where the bodies of prostitutes are found in pieces and completely drained of blood.
Dexter is immediately impressed by the precision workmanship behind the killings and helps Debra identify some of the killer's methods.
For her insight on the murderer, who is now dubbed the "Ice Truck Killer", Debra is promoted to homicide.
Meanwhile, Dexter finds that the killer broke into his apartment and left behind clues related to the killings.
Dexter realizes he's been invited to play a game with the killer, to learn who he is.
Meanwhile, Dexter's romantic life is complicated when Rita becomes more interested in taking things to a sexual level and later when her husband Paul Bennett is released from prison on parole.
While Bennett is good to their children, he repeatedly — but unsuccessfully — attempts to get back with Rita, despite her insistence that they are getting a divorce.
After Bennett threatens him and Rita, Dexter impulsively knocks Paul out.
Dexter then sets Paul up to look like he violated his parole by using heroin.
While back in prison, Bennett insists that Dexter set him up.
Events lead to Debra dating a surgeon named Rudy Cooper, who is also interested in befriending Dexter.
Dexter later finds out that a recently deceased man named Joe Driscoll was his biological father, meaning the man didn't die when he was a child and that Harry lied to him.
While he's in the midst of discovering this, Dexter is introduced to Rudy, who says he has been waiting a long time for them to meet, and the two begin a friendship, although it becomes clear to the audience that Rudy is responsible for the death of Dexter's biological father.
Debra is confused that at times Rudy seems more interested in Dexter than her.
Arriving at a scene arranged by the Ice Truck Killer, a hotel room covered in blood, Dexter suffers a panic attack and realizes he is regaining his repressed memories.
Investigating his past, he learns that Harry found him at the scene of a vicious murder when he was a child.
Eventually, he remembers that he and his mother, a woman named Laura Moser, were in a shipping container, imprisoned by criminals.
These criminals then killed Laura and chopped her up with chainsaws in front of Dexter, then left him locked in the container, sitting in his mother's blood.
It was not until two days later that Harry and the police found Dexter and his dismembered mother.
After taking Dexter in, Harry arranged for the report on his discovery and the circumstances of his Laura Moser's death to be destroyed.
It is revealed to the audience that Dr. Rudy Cooper is actually the Ice Truck Killer.
After attempting to kill Det.
Batista, who was closing in on him, Rudy proposes marriage to Debra.
But this is a ruse to kidnap her and use her as bait for Dexter.
Rudy's clues lead Dexter back to his childhood home, where Rudy is holding Debra.
Dexter recalls now that he had an older brother who was also in the container when their mother Laura was murdered.
Rudy Cooper is actually this older brother, Brian Moser, who was not adopted and spent much of his life in mental institutions.
Like Dexter, he is a serial killer but not bound by a moral code.
Rudy reveals he has been searching for Dexter for years and was happy to realize that his younger brother was also a killer.
For months now, he's been leading Dexter to him and helping his younger brother recover the memories of their shared childhood trauma.
Rudy then reveals a room covered in plastic, where Debra is naked and taped to a table, unconscious.
Rudy has arranged the room to be just as Dexter prefers for his own kills, and says that they will kill Debra together to cement their bond as brothers.
Dexter says he won't kill Debra and Brian protests that his brother "can't be a killer AND a hero."
Dexter saves Debra from Brian just as she wakes up and Brian escapes as the police arrive.
Doakes suspects that Dexter knows more than he's sharing and may have been helping "Rudy Cooper," but Debra insists that Dexter saved her from the Ice Truck Killer.
Rudy's biological connection to Dexter is kept secret.
Brian Moser makes another attempt on Debra's life, but falls into a trap set-up by Dexter.
Determined to keep Debra safe, Dexter kills Brian and arranges the scene so the police are convinced that the Ice Truck Killer committed suicide.
This time, Dexter does not keep a blood slide trophy of the kill.
The season ends with Rita wondering if Dexter did indeed set-up her husband to be imprisoned again, while Dexter realizes that Doakes, now convinced the blood spatter specialist is hiding something, is monitoring him closely.

"Full Circle" was written with the intention of being the last "Stargate SG-1" television episode, since the producers were already planning to release a "Stargate" film.
When creating the Jaffa underlings for Anubis, the producers wanted to have something different.
So, according to Joseph Mallozzi, they created "Ninja"-like Jaffa.
"Full Circle" was originally intended to be the last episode of "Stargate SG-1".
It is also the last episode to feature Corin Nemec (who portrayed Jonas Quinn) as a main cast member.
It is also the last episode where Alexis Cruz (who portrayed Skaara) appears.
Nemec was open to continue playing Jonas Quinn after season 6 or in a feature film or a spin-off series, but a new contract was reached with Michael Shanks for Daniel to return in season 7.
The role of Jonas was therefore reduced to recurring status in season 7.
Nemec welcomed the producers' openness for story pitches and offered several story ideas.
He wrote the mid-season-7 episode "Fallout" and considered pitching more stories afterwards, but he became busy with other projects.
Jonas is seldom mentioned in the series after this point but after Season 10's "Counterstrike" stated that the Ori conquered Jonas's homeworld, "Stargate" producer Joseph Mallozzi said in his blog that "in mind, Jonas went underground and is still alive somewhere, resisting the Ori army."
