The Walking Dead

Days Gone Bye - S1-E1

Factual error: Ten minutes into the episode, where they're setting up their police-blockade, a cop makes a remark about being in some TV-show when Rick Grimes replies with: "Make sure you've got a round in the chamber and your safety off". Next we see the first cop checking his gun (a Glock) for a round in the chamber and we see him flicking his thumb across the gun's slide catch: not a safety-lever. Glocks don't have an external safety, so the cop cannot flick a safety-lever like in the episode. (00:10:10)

The Next World - S6-E10

Plot hole: Diana in her final scene is seen shooting her last bullets at the walkers that are offscreen, moving toward her, so suicide was not an option, meaning the walkers would have eaten her until she died, becoming a walker. And yet her body is completely clean when her son and Michone discover her in walker form. Blood free (even on her clothes) and fully intact, no chunks of her missing, no bite marks.

Slabtown - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Beth is looking for a key in Officer Dawn's office, she encounters Joan lying dead in the office from bleeding out, apparently from suicide with a pair of surgical scissors. Her left hand is covered in blood. But when Officer Gorman enters the room and Joan starts to turn into a walker, the blood on her hand has disappeared.

Guts - S1-E2

Factual error: The grenade Rick finds in the tank has an unpainted body and a blue safety lever. It's a dummy training grenade. (00:06:20)

Grumpy Scot

Self Help - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: Maggie pulls the ladder from the rear of the firetruck, but in previous shots the only ladder on the firetruck is hung on the passenger side.

Days Gone Bye - S1-E1

Other mistake: In the opening scene when the cop stops at the side of the road & walks between the truck & car you can see there is no engine or transmission on the truck lying on its side. (00:00:20)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: It has been like that for some time. In a position like this, looters or scavengers could have easily removed the components.

Quantom X

TS-19 - S1-E6

Deliberate mistake: When the time is down to 4 minutes for them to get out, they still take a long longer than 4 minutes but still manage to get out with time to spare.

Quantom X

Inmates - S4-E10

Character mistake: At the very end of the episode Tara tells Glenn that her sister and nephew were not supposed to be there. Tara had a niece not a nephew.

Wildfire - S1-E5

Audio problem: In the scene when Andrea is mourning the death of her sister, Rick walks up to "tell her how it is." Andrea points a gun at Rick with just her right hand. When the gun is coming up to Rick we hear the slide being cocked, this can only be done with two hands. (00:03:35)

Too Far Gone - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: After The Governor shows up at the prison with his arsenal, Hershel and Michonne are taken out of the vehicles and placed kneeling on the grass side by side, about 1 arm's length apart from each other. But when Rick makes his way down to the fence to talk with The Governor, Hershel and Michonne are now about 4 arms' lengths away from each other. This goes back and forth for a few shots.

Beside the Dying Fire - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When the farm is overrun, the tires on Daryl's motorcycle are offroad tires. Later in the episode however, these tires change magically to smoother street tires. (00:15:35 - 00:28:40)

What Happened and What's Going On - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Tyreese, Noah, Rick, Glenn and Michonne all go to see Noah's old base in search of his family. Tyreese gets bit, and they begin to run back to the car. Except for one tiny clip, Daryl is running alongside them, even though he was with the other half of the group. (00:33:15 - 00:33:40)

Chupacabra - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Daryl ripped off his shirt to wrap around his wound, and was left in only his vest. Except, a shot later, he's seen wearing his shirt again, cutting off the walker's ears. (00:25:30)

Rogue Element - S11-E11

Trivia: Eugene is looking for his missing girlfriend, "Stephanie." Princess visits him. He shows her his pinboard with strings attaching clues. He's found out plumber Roman Calhoun, was the last person to see her and tracks him down to a dodgy outfit at "1634 Racine." This is the home address in "The Untouchables" (1987 film about the capture and imprisonment of Al Capone, starring Kevin Costner & Andy Garcia), of Jimmy the good Irish cop, played by Sean Connery. (00:16:44)

Tell It to the Frogs - S1-E3

Question: Why does Lori tell Daryl that Rick will show him where his brother is but then 10 minutes later tried to talk Rick out of going?

Answer: No, she actually tries to talk Rick out of it, but he's already made up his mind, minutes later when Daryl asks him about the location of his brother Lori says "he'll show you."

Answer: It's not shown, but I think Lori is suffering from some sort of PTSD due to thinking her husband had died, having an affair with Shane and of course the zombie apocalypse as well! This isn't the only time she contradicts herself so it kinda backs this theory up.
