Dexter mistake picture

The British Invasion - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: In Paris, when Dexter grabs the knife off the table in the close-up, he's wearing the black glove on his right hand, but it cuts to the wide shot and both of Dexter's hands are bare; then in the next shot the black gloves reappear. It's rather odd that the actor was even filmed without wearing his gloves in the wide shot.

Super Grover

Our Father - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Dexter and Vince are next to the dead girl, in the side shot, the tied string from her top is visible on her back and her hair is to the side. But in the overhead shot of her, her hair is covering the tied string and spread more over her back.

Our Father - S3-E1

Other mistake: When Debra is talking about her new haircut, she states that she has changed her hair "for the first time since she was 8." However in various flashbacks throughout the show she has drastically different hairstyles from her 'usual'.

Easy as Pie - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Dexter and Rita are having dinner at Miguel's house, his wife drops a glass. She sets 2 other glasses on the island in the kitchen. After a cut to another shot the 2 glasses are now on the counter by the sink, before she bends down and picks up the glass she dropped. (00:39:50)

Go Your Own Way - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dexter is playing a video game on Miguel's office computer, Miguel is shown to close the game down. But in the next shot the game is visible on the screen before disappearing again in the shot afterwards. Additionally, the video game shown is Halo 3, which is only available on Xbox 360. When Miguel 'closes' the game, he is actually alt-tabbing from a "TWVidpla" window to "Plaindesktop.bmp," and a laptop battery indicator is visible. (00:12:55)

I Had a Dream - S3-E11

Factual error: When Maria is looking at Miguel's file, we see his Florida Driver's License. The expires date is wrong. FL driver's licenses expire on the person's birthday, not on the day the license was issued.

Do You Take Dexter Morgan? - S3-E12

Other mistake: The marriage certificate for Rita's first marriage shows her date of birth as 04-19-1989 and Dexter states she married at 16. The marriage date is 08-16-1989, when she would have been 4 months old. She also would only be 17 at the start of the series (2006) if she was born in 1989. (00:13:45)

Do You Take Dexter Morgan? - S3-E12

Other mistake: Debra is checking her email for the traffic cam photo of George King. The sender is labeled "Miami Metro Robbery Div." and the subject is "Photo of George King." However, after opening the email, the send is then a malformed email address of Det.Robertson.Robbery|MiamiMetroPolice.web with a recipient address of Debra.Morgan.Homicide|MiamiMetroPolice.wed (wed, not web), with a subject of "B. O. L. O. Match - George King." (00:26:38)

Blinded By the Light - S4-E3

Other mistake: An extra is walking in the background with a measurement wheel while Debra is talking with Lundy outside of the warehouse. The character is hovering the wheel over the ground and not actually using it for its intended purpose. (00:17:10)

About Last Night - S3-E9

Question: Dexter tests the blood on Miguel's shirt, to see if it's Freebo's. It looks like he's just using a DNA sequencer and the blood result comes back "bovine." Can a DNA sequencer differentiate which species the blood came from like that? Or perhaps he was using a different type of blood analysis machine? Is there an analysis machine that's capable of that? I thought the way to test if blood is human or not, "anti-human serum" is mixed with the blood to see if it will clot. So wouldn't the only way to tell it was bovine blood is to inject it with "anti-bovine serum"?

Answer: The short answer is yes, it could. but, it would have to be set up to analyze results to differentiate species. The sequencer will report the base pairs for any properly prepared sample, but interpreting the results is a software package. The software is available, but I would think it unlikely that an analysis package used in a forensics lab would have the capability to be so specific. More likely it would report "Non Human Sequences Found."
