The Walking Dead

Prey - S3-E14

Revealing mistake: When the Governor is hunting Andrea, he smashes a few windows in the building where she's hiding. When he breaks the first two, there's a jet of steam or air, showing that it was broken a split second before he hit it with the shovel. (00:29:04)

Movie Nut

Now - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: When Aaron is pinned down by the sewer zombie, the zombie actor's neck can be seen below his head mask.

Suggested correction: I went back and watched this scene several times, and I think the OP is mistaking Aaron's hand on the Walker's neck as the gap in the mask.

Pretty Much Dead Already - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: As the group kills the walkers that come out of the barn, the camera shows several different vantage points from in front of the barn, inside of the barn etc., it shows the walkers lying with a clear path between them, and in another it shows the walkers lying in a jumbled pile with no path between them. This goes back and forth a few times until Sophia comes out of the barn, and there is no clear path again.

Wildfire - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When the Winnebago breaks down. Shane and T-Dog offer to drive ahead to check out what could possibly be a gas station. Shane tells Rick to hold the fort while they're gone. Meanwhile Rick is dealing with dying Jim. When discussing Jim's predicament, Shane is there, he hasn't gone anywhere. Then when they put Jim under the tree T-Dog is there too. Then they all drive off like the breakdown never happened. Nothing is mentioned about whether Shane and T-Dog found a gas station and if they did, it was very quickly sorted out - two minutes tops. (00:31:00)

Sing Me a Song - S7-E7

Visible crew/equipment: Negan and Carl go for a ride in the big truck. Daryl tells Negan not to harm Carl and he flips him off. In this scene, the camera tracks upward and its shadow casts on the truck. Also a film light can be seen reflected in the door jam.

The Grove - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When Mica and Lizzie are running from the walkers on the railroad tracks, they easily outrun them and gain several meters' distance in a few seconds. When they are running to the house, the walkers have suddenly caught up and are directly behind them.

What Lies Ahead - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When Carl rolls out the knife pack he found, the scene cuts to Shane working on the engine, and you can see traffic on a highway through the bottom of the windshield. (00:33:00 - 00:34:00)

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)

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)

Inmates - S4-E10

Character mistake: At the very end of the episode Tara tells Glenn that her sister and nephew were not supposed to be there. Tara had a niece not a nephew.

Inmates - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: When Glenn is with Tara and getting ready to move out, he puts on his helmet and you can see it is strapped on. When the shot changes, he swings the fence open and you can see his strap is lose. The camera angle changes again and the strap is back on again. (00:38:15)

A - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: In the flashback to the prison, Hershel says "we've been here two months." However, when they show Judith she is shown to be the same age she was when the prison fell (around 9-10 months) If they had only been there two months, and Lori delivered within the first week of being there, the baby should not be very old.

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.

Days Gone Bye - S1-E1

Factual error: Ten minutes into the episode, where they're setting up their police-blockade, a cop makes a remark about being in some TV-show when Rick Grimes replies with: "Make sure you've got a round in the chamber and your safety off". Next we see the first cop checking his gun (a Glock) for a round in the chamber and we see him flicking his thumb across the gun's slide catch: not a safety-lever. Glocks don't have an external safety, so the cop cannot flick a safety-lever like in the episode. (00:10:10)

I Ain't a Judas - S3-E11

Carol: haven't had a chance to say, I'm glad you came back.
Daryl: To what? All this?
Carol: This is our home.
Daryl: This is a tomb.
Carol: That's what T-Dog called it, thought he was right, until you found me. He's your brother, but he's not good for you. Don't let him bring you down. After all look how far you've come.

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.
