5 corrected entries in Days Gone Bye

(17 votes)

Correction: He gets hit twice.

Correction: Robert Kirkman has stated that Rick was in his coma for 4-5 weeks, so around 35 days. In the short series "The Walking Dead: Webisodes" the one titled "The Oath" shows that a doctor named Gale Macones stayed after the outbreak, to care for patients still in the hospital. (Including Rick) IV bags last 24 hours, and you can only go without water for 4-5ish days. Meaning she left very close to when Rick woke up, which explains why his beard was in good shape.

You can go longer than 4 days. And even if she left 4 days earlier he wouldn't be clean-shaven.

Days Gone Bye - S1-E1

Corrected entry: After Rick falls off the horse in the city center, he drops the gun duffel bag close to him near him at the rear of the tank. In the closing scene, the last five seconds, there is an overview of the street and the tank. But the black duffel bag cannot be seen.

Correction: The black duffel can be seen at the rear of the tank. It is partially blocked by a walker getting to the horde where the horse is being eaten.

Days Gone Bye - S1-E1

Corrected entry: In the beginning when the guy comes out of a coma and he sees the door with the writing inside, then the zombies put their fingers through. In the next shot the cop goes through the double doors and the fingers are nowhere to be seen.

Correction: Different door. Different scene. After Rick sees the hand come out the door, he backs away. He then treks through a dark stairwell to reach the door he uses to exit the hospital.

MasterOfAll

Correction: He gets shot once in the arm but again in the stomach. The wound that led to the hospital was in his back, out through the abdomen.

When he was shot in the stomach the bullet hit his vest so he wouldn't have been injured from it.

I think he meant that the bullet that went though his back shoulder area went through and out his side.

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)

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?

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.
