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)

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)

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'.

Blinded By the Light - S4-E3

Revealing mistake: When Deb is texting "Looks like it" to Anton, the buttons she presses on the keypad do not correlate with the message itself and the phone doesn't show any auto-correct feature being utilized, indicating that the text message was added in post production.

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)

If I Had a Hammer - S4-E6

Character mistake: In this episode, as well as 1-2 others, Dexter holds his slide phone upside down (only in the edits/cuts where he wasn't shown answering the phone). When the phone is slid open, the front cover goes above/higher than the backside of the phone. And a few instances I've seen, the side closest to his face 'lower' than the outside/backside of the slide phone, strongly suggesting the phone was held upside down.

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?

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.

Father Knows Best - S1-E9

Question: The DNA test is a match, but later in the 2-3rd season we discover that Harry (foster father) had an affair with the real mother. Is Harry the real father and takes him but not his brother in because of that or not?

Answer: No, Harry is not the real father. While he did have an affair with Dexter's biological mother (Laura Moser), this was when she was his C.I. Dexter was already born at that point.
