The Walking Dead

Guts - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: On the roof all the survivors are discussing their escape plan while T-Dog is lying down injured by Merle. In the next scene people are wearing rain coats and covering their bodies with the walker's remains as Rick proposed. T-Dog has taken off his cap and looks fine. Rick gives him the handcuff keys to free Merle. In the scene after, while Rick and Glenn went out the streets, the others go back on the roof to watch them from above. Nobody is wearing a raincoat and also T-Dog is in the same condition as before, lying down with his cap on. (00:24:00 - 00:31:15)

Guts - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After they steal the car with the alarm blaring, there is a shot of the white van turning left down a road. It has just rained but the road is bone dry. A shot later there is water on the road.

Guts - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Shane and Lori start to kiss in the woods, and as they are together his hand is near her head. As she starts to sit up, there is a cut and suddenly his hand goes to on the top of her head with hair under between his fingers. (00:03:00)

Guts - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After Rick and Glenn cover themselves with guts, Rick tosses T-Dog the handcuff keys for Merle. T-Dog is at that moment in the rain coat and has on no hat, standing and appearing OK. The group then rushes up to the roof to watch Rick and Glenn on the street, and tell T-Dog to get back on the CB radio. Suddenly T-Dog is now leaned back sitting against the wall on the roof again with his hat and regular clothes acting all beat up again, and then shows Merle he has The Key.

Guts - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Merle is handcuffed to a pipe and tries to seduce Andrea, saying they are going to die anyways. When she says, she'd rather die, his hands are apart closer to his sides, then when it cuts to a close up of him, suddenly he's got his hands together with one finger pointed at the other hand. (00:16:33)

Guts - S1-E2

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.

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?

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.
