Guts - S1-E2

Corrected entry: Rick tells the Asian kid that the gun he has holds 15 bullets, but when Rick hops out of the tank and begins shooting, he only shoots 14 bullets and then the guns hammer locks back, showing that the chamber is empty.

Correction: He said how many bullets the gun holds, not how many are currently in the magazine. If he said there were currently 15 bullets in the magazine then your submission would be valid. But since he was talking about how many bullets it can hold, then your submission is not valid.

Guts - S1-E2

Corrected entry: When Rick is using the binoculars on top of the building to scout out the get-a-way trucks behind the fence for their escape, he is scanning over towards the trucks and fence line, seeing the walkers between them and the fence. In the far distance you can see the highway and a car driving over it, presumably an in-use road not closed for filming that still has people driving as usual in real-life. (00:23:20)

Correction: It is still early in the Apocalypse and people are still using cars and as you pointed out the group is going to use a car to get back to camp. In fact Rick and the group use cars for quite a few seasons, Daryl is still using his motorcycle In season 9. The fact that someone else is also driving is not a mistake.

Guts - S1-E2

Corrected entry: When Rick and members of the group are on the roof top looking for a way out of their situation, you can see a car driving by in the lower portion of the screen.

Correction: Not a mistake. We know that (a) there are many other survivors not shown on screen (b) have operating motor vehicles.

XIII

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.
