The Walking Dead

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.

Thank You - S6-E3

Other mistake: When Nicholas shoots himself, both him and Glenn fall with their feet facing the dumpster, and their heads facing the walkers. However, when they cut to the shot of presumably Nicholas being eaten, we see Glenn's head facing the dumpster. This does not make any sense. Glenn would have had to do a complete 180 turn before landing, or move around without being detected by walkers. In fact, the way they landed does not make sense at all. The fence seen when Glenn and Nicholas climb on top has also disappeared.

Monsters - S8-E3

Other mistake: Eric gets shot while fighting with a group against the Saviors. Aaron carries him to a tree and leaves him so he can continue fighting. When Aaron comes back to check on him, Eric is gone and the gun is left behind. Aaron yells his own name instead of Eric's name. (00:33:30)

Suggested correction: He screams Eric, it just sounds a little odd so the subtitles got it wrong.

What Lies Ahead - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Daryl is cutting open a walker in the woods to see what meat it ate while searching for Sophia he stabs the walker several times, but the knife is not bloody and it stays clean. (00:33:30)

Days Gone Bye - S1-E1

Other mistake: In the opening scene when the cop stops at the side of the road & walks between the truck & car you can see there is no engine or transmission on the truck lying on its side. (00:00:20)

Suggested correction: It has been like that for some time. In a position like this, looters or scavengers could have easily removed the components.

Prey - S3-E14

Other mistake: In Woodbury, on the street, while Andrea talks to the Governor, we can see everybody wearing jackets and orange, red and yellow trees, showing that the scene was shot during fall. According to the beginning of the third season, they had just passed through a hard winter. So it should be spring or the beginning of summer.

The Grove - S4-E14

Other mistake: Straight after Carol and Mika find some houses and are leading Tyreese, Lizzie and (supposedly) Judith to them, Judith is missing throughout the entire scene. No one appears to be holding her or even bothered by the fact that she isn't there. Then she's back again in the next scene.

Suggested correction: Judith was in the baby carrier on Tyreese's back.

Pretty Much Dead Already - S2-E7

Other mistake: As Daryl carries a saddle toward the barn, in the far shot, there is no one around. The shot then changes to him entering the barn carrying the saddle inside. Suddenly we now see Carol coming around the corner, several yards behind him. Where did she come from? Unless she was already inside next door and saw him enter, she shouldn't have been there.

Show generally

Other mistake: Most if not every time someone kills a walker in close proximity or repeatedly bludgeons one that is already dead with a blunt object and there is a CGI blood spatter effect (as opposed to a practical blood spatter effect), the blood magically never gets on the person's face.

The Day Will Come When You Won't Be - S7-E1

Other mistake: When Rick is on top of the RV, Negan peppers the roof with bullets from the inside, so that Rick has to run and jump onto the hanging walker. Negan's using a machine gun, so a lot of bullets, and the exit holes that are made, are visible on the roof. The softer material of the inside ceiling would have been really torn up, but when Rick gets back into the RV with Negan's axe, the ceiling is undamaged. (00:21:38 - 00:24:36)

Conquer - S5-E16

Other mistake: When Gabriel is out by himself on the road and kills two walkers, he is wearing a white shirt. Blood is shown spattering everywhere, but his shirt remains spotless. (00:37:00 - 00:39:00)

Rock in the Road - S7-E9

Other mistake: When the Alexandria Group are at the Hilltop trying to convince Gregory to join them in their fight against the Saviors, we can see the actresses who play Michonne and Maggie trying to hold in their laughter. (00:06:02)

Mercy - S8-E1

Other mistake: When the herd appear on the freeway walking around the corner it's the same footage used in the previous season, just before Rick and Michone drive the two cars at them connected by the cable.

Beside the Dying Fire - S2-E13

Other mistake: While the farm is being overrun, Hershel is out front with his shotgun constantly firing. He never reloads and would never had the chance to stop and reload that weapon with so many zombies on him. His shotgun appears to have infinite ammo at this point.

Quantom X

Indifference - S4-E4

Visible crew/equipment: During the scene where Daryl's group finds the auto shop, Daryl spits on his hand to wipe the window and is surprised by a zombie banging up against the window. He says, "Got some friends inside" and walks away. The camera pans to the window and a crew member wearing a white hat and (what appears to be) an orange shirt is visible in the reflection. He seems to be taking a picture (probably for continuity, which is pretty ironic). (00:09:50 - 00:33:05)

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. (00:16:44)

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?

Bishop73

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.
