What Lies Ahead - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When the walkers come through the cars, most shots show Carl and Sophia to be under the same car. When Sophia is attacked by the walker, Carl is not there and Sophia is shown on her own in other shots as well. (00:19:25 - 00:20:05)

Suggested correction: They never get under the same car. When we see them first get under the cars, they are both seen getting under cars going in the same direction at the same time (they'd have to go in opposite direction to get under the same car from both sides). Then in the first close up of Sophia, we can see Carl's head in the shadow and then a strip of sunlight indicating 2 separate cars.

What Lies Ahead - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Carl gets shot, and we see him in the ground, not only does the blood spot on his short change in the next shot of him on the ground, but he's in a completely different shirt. It's still a cameo shirt, but the cameo pattern is different.

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.

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?

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.
