Let's Give the Boy a Hand - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: A photograph of a landfill is shown from when Dexter is a child, but when Dexter goes to visit the location of the former landfill, an old church can be seen in the background. This church likely predates the landfill as evidenced by its Gothic-style architecture. (00:32:00)

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.

Just Let Go - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: When Travis meets his sister at the school she works at, a chalk board with nothing on it can be seen behind Travis. A couple of shots later and there is a piece of paper attached to the chalk board. (00:30:35)

Hello, Bandit - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: Deb moves in with Dexter to his apartment in a 2nd bedroom during season 2 following the ice killer's kidnapping and attempt on her life. But in Season 5 when they try to share this apartment again, it's only 1 bedroom now?

Road Kill - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Dexter is packing kill tools for the road he "packs light" and chooses a knife and hammer. However once he's at the hotel room setting up the kill room he unrolls his entire set of tools like he does at all the other murder room scenes.

A Beautiful Day - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: In the shot where Angel gives Dexter a gift from the recently deceased Maria's office, we see Masuka through the window in front of Dexter. Masuka then enters Dexter's office, showing Masuka in two places at once for at least two seconds. (00:30:55)

Suggested correction: That's not Masuka we see in the window. Not only is the person seen through the window wearing a different shirt, he's not bald like Masuka.

Seeing Red - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Angel is at the bar, the girl he is talking to has a drink held up by her face when viewed from behind. In every shot from in front, the drink is on the table.

Chemistry - S7-E7

Isaak Sirko: You didn't kill Victor out of vengeance. I have a feeling you're a different kind of animal. The question is...what kind are you, Dexter Morgan?
Dexter: The kind who hunted your friend down and strapped him to a board and put a plastic bag on his head and crushed his skull with a fire extinguisher. The kind who's gonna do the same thing to you, give or take the fire extinguisher.

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"?

Bishop73

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."
