Just finished watching season 4 episode 11 of Dexter and now about 10 minutes in to season 4 episode 12 (The Getaway). Yes, these are fictional shows and, as such, a lot of fictional situations occur. That being said, it pisses me off when they fuck up the realness of a show.
Now, Dexter is a serial killer. He gets away with a lot of things that probably wouldn't happen in the real world. He works in a police station and even though the killing may be over-the-top there should still be a realness to the actual workings of a police station.
My rant is to the part where the Trinity Killer (played by John Lithgow) enters the Miami police station and pretty much has access to the entire facility when he swipes a visitor badge from an old lady's purse strap which I'm sure there is a regulation on where the visitor's badge should be place (if not, the PDs of America should take note.
The second part that was stupidly written is when Dexter is following the Trinity Killer after he leaves the station. Dexter is in a hurry to catch up and stay with the pursuit that he sideswipes a vehicle's driver's side mirror, knocking it off. This vehicle's owner was on his way to the vehicle and saw it happen. Cut to the pursuit again and Dexter comes to a stop and park's his vehicle out front of a bank while the Trinity Killer parks his inside the bank's parking garage. Dexter jumps out and watches the T-Killer walk into the bank. Dexter decides to wait for T-Killer by T-Killer's van. Camera changes to view Dexter's vehicle and we see another vehicle pull up behind it. Turns out it's the owner and vehicle of the sideswiped mirror who just happened to know/find Dexter's vehicle after about ten minutes after the accident. Not to mention that Dexter's vehicle looks like hundreds of others that could have been on the road at that time.
I don't know what else will irritate me because I'm just starting the final episode (12) of season four.
