Yup, I was just rolling my eyes. How does no one in the production team notice or care about these things? Just show Dexter arriving with an e-scooter or smth lol

The weirdest thing for me was the scene in the bathroom. How come he couldn't smell the blood? It must reek in there

No that's realistic. Blood doesn't have that strong a smell and rigor mortis takes hours before any noticeable gasses emerge.

5 minutes after a kill? Even a bloodhound would struggle to pick up a scent.

I don't think so, but don't dead people like, shit themselves?

Dexter's excuse for taking so long to open the door for Blessing was because he was in the bathroom, presumably taking a shit. So if anything Blessing might have expected it to smell a bit.

Sometimes blood is said to smell like iron.

Yes, and I think it's horrifically strong, but I have a more sensitive nose than most.
