No Sanctuary - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode when Tyreese and Carol are walking down the railroad tracks towards Terminus, they encounter a herd of walkers coming out of the woods. One of the first walkers to cross the tracks is a male walker wearing a burgundy sweatshirt with a rip in the middle. When gunfire erupts at Terminus, the walkers turn their attention towards it. In the next shot when they start to head towards the sound, we see the same male walker now in the middle of the herd yet to cross the tracks, next shot after that, we again see him at the front of the pack.

Slabtown - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Beth is looking for a key in Officer Dawn's office, she encounters Joan lying dead in the office from bleeding out, apparently from suicide with a pair of surgical scissors. Her left hand is covered in blood. But when Officer Gorman enters the room and Joan starts to turn into a walker, the blood on her hand has disappeared.

Self Help - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: Maggie pulls the ladder from the rear of the firetruck, but in previous shots the only ladder on the firetruck is hung on the passenger side.

Consumed - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: When Daryl is driving the hospital van, it shows that he is going to land upside down, on the vehicle's roof, when he drives off the parking garage. In the next scene, the vehicle lands on its wheels, as if it has done a complete front flip. (00:30:00)

What Happened and What's Going On - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Tyreese, Noah, Rick, Glenn and Michonne all go to see Noah's old base in search of his family. Tyreese gets bit, and they begin to run back to the car. Except for one tiny clip, Daryl is running alongside them, even though he was with the other half of the group. (00:33:15 - 00:33:40)

The Distance - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: Arriving at Alexandria, Rick is shown from an interior POV leaning into the back of the car and picking up Judith, who is mostly wrapped in a spotty shawl. As he is shown doing this from an exterior POV, the shawl is barely visible, bunched up behind her legs. (00:41:44)

Crow-9

Remember - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Jessie brings a basket of stuff to Rick the paper towels are on her right, then when Rick takes the basket they're on her left, and then in the next shot they're back on her right.

Forget - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Possible Spoilers! At the very end of the episode Rick walks up to the wall of Alexandria to check out a noise. When the camera shows the walker on The Other Side of the fence it is clear there is nothing else out there. When the camera shows the fence from behind Rick there is the roof of a house visible above the top of the fence. The shadows made by the struts of the fence make it apparent that if there was a house The Other Side of the fence would have been in shadow. (00:48:00 - 00:50:00)

Try - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode, Daryl leaves on a motorbike with a car following. In this episode Daryl's still out but no bike - he's in a car. It's a continuous trip with the bike he built at the compound.

Try - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: At the end 3 men go to rush Rick - the guy on the right is Glenn. All three men are standing shoulder to shoulder when Rick pulls his gun, and Glenn has disappeared. Cut back to Rick and a wide shot - no Glenn. Cut to a close up of the group and Glenn's back, but there is a big gap between him and the other two men. This scene is continuous - he hasn't got time to move.

Conquer - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When Aaron and Daryl are stuck in the van surrounded by walkers, he lights up a cigarette with a yellow filter and it changes to a white filter as he starts smoking it.

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.

A - S4-E16

Question: Why was the fence down in the flashbacks with Hershel at the prison?

Answer: The walkers could have knocked them down more than once. There may have been another wave that knocked down the fence earlier and they're going to put it up again soon.
