Too Far Gone - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When the Governor and his group show up and bomb one of the guard towers to get Rick and his group's attention, when Rick first runs outside the guard tower on the far left is on fire, but when Rick walks down to the fence to talk to the Governor the guard tower in front by the front gate is the one on fire. And it switches back and forth between the two. (00:16:05 - 00:19:15)

Too Far Gone - S4-E8

Factual error: When Lilly comes across the Governor's body, she points her 1911 at him. In one shot, we see her from behind with the hammer forward on her 1911. In the next shot she immediately kills the Governor by shooting him. A 1911 will not fire unless the hammer is back. (00:49:00 - 00:50:00)

Too Far Gone - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Hershel crawls away and the fight begins, in the long shots of the governor's men Hershel's body can not be seen next to the cars, this is from all angles.

Too Far Gone - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: After The Governor shows up at the prison with his arsenal, Hershel and Michonne are taken out of the vehicles and placed kneeling on the grass side by side, about 1 arm's length apart from each other. But when Rick makes his way down to the fence to talk with The Governor, Hershel and Michonne are now about 4 arms' lengths away from each other. This goes back and forth for a few shots.

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.
