Continuity mistake: When Dex stabs Lila, the knife goes in near her stomach, where her vest starts. But in the close up shot, the knife is higher up in her, in her chest.
Dirty Harry - S4-E5
Visible crew/equipment: After the ambulance taking Deb to the hospital drives away, a crew member ducks down in front of a parked car in the background. (04:36:00)
Continuity mistake: When Dexter and Deb are celebrating her promotion, just before they toast and you look at them from the side Deb has her hands free, when the camera changes she has a crab leg in her hand, and when the camera changes again her hands are empty once more. (00:46:45)
Dirty Harry - S4-E5
Other mistake: When Lundy is shot and falls to the ground, there is no visible injury even though he is facing the camera. Later, Masuka says he was shot twice, once in the chest and once in the neck. The shooter was facing him. We should have seen the blood.
Continuity mistake: Dexter browses the book shelf at Travis' house. The camera pans across, revealing a book titled "Apocalypse Bound" situated at the right on the shelf. When Dexter takes the book off the shelf, it is then shown as the fourth book from the left. When he puts it back, the empty gap where it used to be now appears to the far right on the shelf. (00:25:50)
Continuity mistake: In Season 6, Episode 10, Dexter and Harry are in the motel room where Travis was staying (timestamp 1). Dexter decides to post on Gellar's blog (impersonating Gellar), and the screen on the computer shows the post date as Sunday, November 24, preceded by a Sunday, November 20 post. Aren't Sundays supposed to be a week apart? Then in episode 12 (timestamp 2), Travis is in Dexter's apartment and sees the poster for the Noah's Ark school play. The date posted for the play is Saturday, October 8, ie. in the past compared to the earlier episode. Plus If November 24 were on a Sunday, then October 8 should have been on a Tuesday. (00:09:20 - 00:30:20)
Remember the Monsters? - S8-E12
Revealing mistake: In the flashback scenes when Dexter and Deb are shown holding baby Harrison in the newborn room, you can tell they are just holding a dummy in the wide shots because the baby never moves a muscle.
Continuity mistake: During the opening sequence of every episode, Dexter prepares for his day. The first thing he does is shave and then fixes breakfast. But by the time he starts eating, he already has long stubble.
Continuity mistake: When Rita is talking to Bob outside the house, she is carrying a box. A piece of tinsel keeps moving from hanging over the edge of the box, to being tucked inside.
Other mistake: Doaks says he saw the man's gun and chased him, lots of questions arise about what happened, but no-one mentions how a cop has no right to ask a person about a gun they have on them without probable cause. Doaks has no reason to even go after the guy.
Suggested correction: Florida is not an open carry state, so if the man was displaying a gun, the cop had probable cause to pursue and question. Even if the man had a permit to carry a weapon, per Florida law, that weapon must remain concealed. If the cop could see the gun, it was a violation of the law and the cop could not only question, but arrest him.
Continuity mistake: When Rudy has Debra in a headlock on the yacht, his left hand continuously moves between shots from on her head to gesturing in the air.
Visible crew/equipment: You can see the cabin door open on Dexter's boat, and a crew member getting out while he is driving the boat, supposedly alone. (00:45:45)
Revealing mistake: The dead body appears to be moving its eyes. (00:10:05)
Visible crew/equipment: When Dexter is searching the empty house, you can see a crew member with his sunglasses on outside the window. (00:45:49)
Are You...? - S7-E1
Factual error: During the walk-through of the crime scene, there is a small remnant of plastic sheeting between Travis' toes. Given the entire church was consumed by flames, or more importantly, the body and foot from which the plastic is pulled are badly burnt, it's highly improbable that the plastic sheeting would still be present. At least not in the form that is shown, but rather more like a globe of melted plastic on or into the body or table. Similarly, the feet wouldn't be 'wet' or glossy with blood. (00:15:22)
Continuity mistake: When Hannah calls Dexter at the bus crime scene, Dexter answers the phone normally but then in the next cut, the phone is upside down. (00:23:25)
Revealing mistake: When Dexter stomps on Barry's kidney, you can see his foot doesn't even make contact with Barry's body.
Revealing mistake: After Doakes remarks that the dead body of Eva is a message, you can see the actress' neck throbbing around where the trail of blood is. (00:06:49)
