If you supposedly can never completely get rid of blood, then why does Dexter always use the same set of knives/blades/hatchets? I mean I know they look bad ass but if someone found them (which that may be enough right there) the nail in the coffin would be all the blood found on the blades (I mean he is a damn blood analyst). That is unless you can clean blood off of steel with something like acetone, However with the high carbon content, I would imagine the knives would get ruined quickly using anything like acetone. 8/7/2011 9:32:37 AM |

yeah the DA's office probably wouldn't even care about the box of bloody slides
and we already saw what happened to old former special forces dude who got too nosy]8/7/2011 9:35:58 AM |

imagine the show is real
I know a lot of board members watch Dexter and most of the show is pretty believable
^ he doesn't travel with the blood slides....

Anytime someone is on to him, he kills them. This immediately solves the problem to are pondering.

Maybe he autoclaves it all.
I would hope that would get all traces of blood off stuff. 8/7/2011 9:38:11 AM |

yea. because police officers often take in children they find covered in blood and then raise them to be the perfect killer once realizing they are a complete sociopath. totally believable 8/7/2011 9:38:48 AM |

remember when Dexter sees his buddy get killed by the Colombians with the chainsaw, so later once he figures out Frank set him up, he has his boy call him at exactly 3am and then he knows he set him up because he's bullshitting like its his wife calling him 8/7/2011 9:48:46 AM |

I was just disputing that Dexter doesn't always knows the perfect thing to do in all scenarios, not saying that there wasn't a reason it happened.

could that be because.......... all the scenarios are thought of ahead of a time and written out in....... a script possibly? 8/7/2011 9:53:42 AM |

no shit, but this is a simple question about blood residue on steel and why a blood analyst wouldn't think to use a different weapon each time. 8/7/2011 9:54:56 AM |
dropdeadkate nerdlord 11725 Posts user info edit post |
fine. pretend the shit is real. this mother fucker is a government worker. realistically he probably doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of money. BITCH YOU HAVE KNIVES. you know that the good shit can be $$$. and he kills LOADS of people. it adds up.
he's a killa on a budget. now, what other questions do you have about this show you would like to pretend is for realzies 8/7/2011 9:57:17 AM |

You can kill someone with a $5 knife, my $25 Kershaw Clash would easily kill someone.
He has those knives/weapons because he likes to be professional. 8/7/2011 9:58:48 AM |

When you shave the old metal off you're getting rid of blood. This is what the people do when they pick up toolls used in hospitals. 8/7/2011 10:00:48 AM |

but we have never seen a hint of him doing this in the show, all he does is polish them. 8/7/2011 10:01:44 AM |

idk. if he killed them with $5 knives I would probably not watch the show. it's just not as cool.
that's probably why 8/7/2011 10:01:55 AM |

I mentioned from the OP that the weapons are bad ass, but logically a blood analyst would think about this kind of thing. 8/7/2011 10:04:10 AM |

He's pretty much banking on no one ever finding the knives. That's why he flips his shit when he thinks someone might have discovered them.
Autoclaving them would be a good option though. He should buy a used one off eBay. 8/7/2011 11:27:48 AM |

Speaking of pretending shows are real, you think Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke has constant nightmares? Dude probably personally killed 5 thousand people over the course of the 20 year series. 8/7/2011 12:36:31 PM |

I watch it, but Dexter is not believable. They've found his killrooms and never found any evidence. I call bullshit there.
But for blood cleanup... there are enzymes that can clean blood up, that crime scene cleaners use. I'm sure he can get some of that. 8/7/2011 1:48:59 PM |
yuffie_chan All American 4898 Posts user info edit post |
^ what I was going to say... I'm sure there's some amount of solvent that he'd be able to use to clean up blood. And in terms of his blood rooms... yeah, it's not hugely believable that he's able to leave without a trace, but it's explained how he's been able to perfect his science over years and except in very few cases, he leaves plenty of time before and after each kill to clean. As Elise said, if he had access to an autoclave, he'd probably be fine. 8/7/2011 2:17:51 PM |
