PLOT HOLES FROM SEASON 1:

DexterDexter
"Lying in blood 2 inches thick..."
- If there was two inches of blood, depth 2 inches, in a standard 20 foot shipping container, there would be 180 gallons of blood total, given that the shipping container was of the dimensions described in Wikipedia's containerization page ( L = 18'10", W = 7' 8", H = 2").
- It would require all of the blood from 144 average adults (at 10 pints per person).
- Not to mention coagulation.
- Well if there is a lot of cargo taking up space then that can take a way a lot of that floor room. All so he could have not moved and was laying in the 2in pool around his mothers body parts.

Something about Deb and Dex's ages doesn't make sense. Deb says that ten years ago she would've still been in high school (when Batista makes a crack about dating her if he were ten years younger), putting her at about 28 at the oldest. In flashbacks she and Dex seem to be no more than a couple of years apart, but if he was 3 years old in 1973, in season one he would be 36, I think, making the difference at least 8 yrs. Also, Deb makes a comment in anger about "when you came to live with us," implying she was probably alive when Dexter was 3 and Harry adopted him, so they couldnt be more than 3 years apart. However, she says this as if she remembers when he was adopted, kind of as if he intruded on her territory, but if she was more than about a year younger than him, she wouldn't remember, and even at 2 remembering would be a stretch.



CamillaCamilla, police department's records supervisor
Only known active police personnel who knows about Dexter's discovery in the cargo box. This leads to Capt. Matthews who, according to Dexter, was "tight" with his foster father -- surely he remembers the case regarding two little boys found in two feet of blood.




PLOT HOLES FROM SEASON 2:


Detxer Season 2Dexter
Where was security or even security cameras surrounding the BHB's bodies at headquarters? Seems a little odd that they would just lock up the bodies and go home, leaving them completely unchecked and unattended.
Rita claiming that Dexter "planned on acting on impulse" after he says that he stole the drugs from the evidence locker. Dexter could have just said that he attacked Paul on impulse and stole the drugs afterwards (this seems to be what actually happened).
What about tying the BHB to using a boat? It was never confirmed by anyone that Doakes even had a boat.





PLOT HOLES FROM SEASON 3:


Michael C.Hall as Dexter MorganDexter
In the first episode of season three, it would seem counter-intuitive for Dexter to sneak into Freebo's house while he's blarring his loud music. A hunter would want to have all his senses working at their peak and to be on his toes at all times, as to better find his prey in the darkness. Dexter's comment about how the loud music was the perfect way for him to get into the house just seems unfounded and ill-informed, and of course we all know what happened as a consequence to Dexter's actions.

Anyone have any idea where dexter dumps the victims cars? Seems kind of important as this is the one place he doesnt plastic wrap that has his DNA in hair etc around...

boorens m99? fatal or not 3 May 2 2009, 11:43 PM EDT by clairebbbear

I was curious as to whether or not this drug could even be used as is done on Dexter. Looking into the drug I found that even a single drop of veterinary strength m99 (what he must order as that is the drugs purpose) on the skin is fatal to humans (pretty quickly too.) Considering that, is it even capable of being diluted accurately enough for dexter's purposes? Not to mention he must have to know his victims weight as well. Incase people don't know, anesthesia is a weight dependant, so you cant just inject a rough amount in. That will either A) not cause or delay passing out or B) kill them

What drug should the writers have used if not m99?

animayhemz Dexter's First Kill (page: 1 2) 31 Sep 21 2008, 1:51 PM EDT by tweetykiss

I noticed this and it completely ruined this series for me. In season 1 episode 3 "Popping Cherry" Dexter preforms his first kill on the nurse who is poisoning his father. Now in season 2 episode 10 "There's Something About Harry", it comes out that Harry committed suicide and apparently Dexter killed some pimp that got away with murder due to a typo in the search warrant. This murder happened 3 days before Harry's suicide. So I am asking who was Dexter's first kill the nurse or the pimp? And how did die Harry poisoned or did he kill himself? I know there is a writers strike but how can anyway not see that this doesn't make any sense, thanks a lot SHOWTIME for ruining your best show I guess I will have to go to watching HBO.
