When the Dead Come Knocking - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: The first shot of Maggie waiting for the Governor to enter shows her wearing a black tank top with her shoulders bare. After he cuts the duct tape around her wrists, the camera pans up and she now has black bra straps showing on her shoulders. (00:26:10)

When the Dead Come Knocking - S3-E7

Audio problem: When Rick and his 'strike force' hole up in the cabin surrounded by walkers. They arouse the cabin's owner who brandishes a double-barrel, breech breaking shotgun. When characters brandish pump action shotguns, often they pump a round for effect and the sound effect is characteristic. The pump action sound effect is erroneously applied to the breech breaking double barrel shotgun.

When the Dead Come Knocking - S3-E7

Other mistake: When Merle interrogates Glenn, who doesn't seem to be very cooperative, he says, "Well, maybe the farmer's daughter will help me out." Merle wasn't on a farm, never met Herschel; he should have no idea that Maggie is a farmer's daughter.

Suggested correction: A "farmer's daughter" doesn't always mean someone who is literally "the daughter of a farmer." It's also an expression that refers to a specific type of woman and even to a type of character in movies and TV shows.

Trivia

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.

Questions

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.
