Consumed - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: When Daryl is driving the hospital van, it shows that he is going to land upside down, on the vehicle's roof, when he drives off the parking garage. In the next scene, the vehicle lands on its wheels, as if it has done a complete front flip. (00:30:00)

Spend - S5-E14

Other mistake: Earlier in the season Father Gabriel Stokes burns his clerical collar, but in the end of this episode he is wearing it again. Especially doesn't make sense, because he said he gave up being a pastor.

Self Help - S5-E5

Factual error: In the scene at the fire truck, Abraham uses the deck gun to kill walkers. However fire truck water pumps are powered by PTO from the engine, which isn't running.

No Sanctuary - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode when Tyreese and Carol are walking down the railroad tracks towards Terminus, they encounter a herd of walkers coming out of the woods. One of the first walkers to cross the tracks is a male walker wearing a burgundy sweatshirt with a rip in the middle. When gunfire erupts at Terminus, the walkers turn their attention towards it. In the next shot when they start to head towards the sound, we see the same male walker now in the middle of the herd yet to cross the tracks, next shot after that, we again see him at the front of the pack.

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.

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)

Remember - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Jessie brings a basket of stuff to Rick the paper towels are on her right, then when Rick takes the basket they're on her left, and then in the next shot they're back on her right.

Spend - S5-E14

Visible crew/equipment: When Sam comes to visit Carol with items in his hand, he walks through the front door of the house. Carol shuts the door after she lets him inside. As she does this, you can see the reflection of a black sheet or tarp of some kind covering the door area where the camera reflection would be.

Them - S5-E10

Revealing mistake: After it starts raining there is a shot looking at the road in The Distance. Notice how the rain is only falling in a small area and stops just beyond where the group is at. The road is dry from there on out.

Forget - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Possible Spoilers! At the very end of the episode Rick walks up to the wall of Alexandria to check out a noise. When the camera shows the walker on The Other Side of the fence it is clear there is nothing else out there. When the camera shows the fence from behind Rick there is the roof of a house visible above the top of the fence. The shadows made by the struts of the fence make it apparent that if there was a house The Other Side of the fence would have been in shadow. (00:48:00 - 00:50:00)

No Sanctuary - S5-E1

Character mistake: When Gareth is questioning Rick about what was in the bag he hid in the woods, Rick replies a .44. Rick is referring to his Python, which is a .38 or .357, not a .44.

The Distance - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: Arriving at Alexandria, Rick is shown from an interior POV leaning into the back of the car and picking up Judith, who is mostly wrapped in a spotty shawl. As he is shown doing this from an exterior POV, the shawl is barely visible, bunched up behind her legs. (00:41:44)

The Distance - S5-E11

Visible crew/equipment: After Aaron refuses to provide his group's location, Rick tells everyone to eat and get some rest. When Michonne follows Rick outside it cuts to the car, and just as the camera pans to the right the actor's green nylon T-marker is visible on the ground, under the car door. (00:20:40)

Super Grover

Conquer - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When Aaron and Daryl are stuck in the van surrounded by walkers, he lights up a cigarette with a yellow filter and it changes to a white filter as he starts smoking it.

Conquer - S5-E16

Other mistake: When Gabriel is out by himself on the road and kills two walkers, he is wearing a white shirt. Blood is shown spattering everywhere, but his shirt remains spotless. (00:37:00 - 00:39:00)

I Ain't a Judas - S3-E11

Carol: haven't had a chance to say, I'm glad you came back.
Daryl: To what? All this?
Carol: This is our home.
Daryl: This is a tomb.
Carol: That's what T-Dog called it, thought he was right, until you found me. He's your brother, but he's not good for you. Don't let him bring you down. After all look how far you've come.

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)

Show generally

Question: Has there been any explanation (in-show or by show creators) about the inconsistency of what attracts Walkers? They've shown that people who cover themselves in Walker guts aren't detected or attacked. When it rained, the rain washed off the guts and then the Walkers do try to attack. But if people hide under cars or don't make noises, the Walkers don't detect them. But it's also been shown that people under a pile of "dead" walkers are still attacked. So what causes a Walker to attack?

Bishop73

Answer: Walkers are attracted to noise, they can tell who's dead and who isn't dead, in S1 when Rick and Glenn cover themselves in walkers' guts they're able to get far by walking through the herd of walkers because they smell like they're dead, but as soon as the guts get washed off by the rain the walkers immediately attack them, if you draw attention to yourself they will attack you which we've seen that many times throughout the series that it's not always successful. Whether you're covered in guts hiding under dead corpses or under a car.

Answer: Walkers use sight and sound to find their prey, with sound being their first choice. When the characters cover themselves in guts, they aren't attacking because they can't "see" them and they're not making any noise. The same goes for when they're hiding under cars - walkers can't hear or see them. They'll go for anything that makes a noise, regardless of what it is. It's also very likely that walkers don't have the ability to smell, since they can't find people hiding under cars. Nor can they smell the Whispers who walk amongst them.
