10 mistakes in season 7 - chronological order

(15 votes)

Are You...? - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: When Dexter started removing the plastic off Travis' body, his small knife was stabbed into the chest, but during that, the sword was already stabbed into the chest, not the knife, and then again, he removed the knife from the body, and then stabbed him with the sword. (00:12:05)

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)

Are You...? - S7-E1

Plot hole: It's out of character and against his code for Dexter to kill Viktor at the airport. Airports have security cameras everywhere (you can see one on the ceiling when he is wheeling Viktor into the unclaimed baggage storage), and using the unclaimed baggage storage as the kill room is equally unwise, because any airport employee could walk in at anytime and catch him red-handed. Dexter was caught murdering Travis Marshall by Deb just hours before, so if anything, he should be even more cautious.

Sunshine and Frosty Swirl - S7-E2

Revealing mistake: After Isaak Sirko killed Tony Rush by sticking a screwdriver in his eye, Rush almost instantly drops dead on the floor. When Sirko's assistant, Jurg, wipes the screw driver for finger prints, you can still see a pulse at the base of Tony's throat. (00:54:05)

Buck the System - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of episode 3, season 7, Dexter is attempting to take a mouth swab of a criminal in the interview room. When he first sits to request a swab from the man he is shown putting on forensic gloves. When the camera pans to him a second time to attempt taking a swab he no longer has forensic gloves on. As the man resists opening his mouth for a swab check Dexter is wearing forensics gloves again.

Argentina - S7-E8

Factual error: When Dexter and Hannah are making breakfast, there's a calendar on the fridge from 1996. It shows January 1st as falling on a Thursday. Jan 1, 1996 was a Monday.

Bishop73

Helter Skelter - S7-E9

Factual error: In The Beginning while Dexter is on his boat in Miami, you suddenly see mountains in the background, of which there are none in Miami. Also the palms are too high, indicating they are from California. And the worst setting mistake is the Florida tags in front of the cars. Only commercial vehicles have front tags.

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.
