The Walking Dead

Isolation - S4-E3

Revealing mistake: Carl is walking toward a walker embedded to a tree. In the background there's a female walker wearing a distressed white dress with long black hair and a bear trap caught on her leg, standing in the back waiting for her scene to walk out. (00:22:30)

Pretty Much Dead Already - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: Dale threatens to shoot Shane, and Shane walks right up to him until the barrel of Dale's rifle is against his chest. Just before Shane walks up to him, you can see the imprint of the rifle muzzle on Shane's shirt from an earlier take. (00:32:50)

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

Walk with Me - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: Merle is sitting in a chair and talking with Michonne and Andrea. At one point he takes off the prosthetic on his right arm to show them what used to be his hand (it's only a nub now), but shortly afterwards you can see his right hand in a fist as he puts the prosthetic back on. (00:13:00)

Miss E

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.

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)

Guts - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the show, while Rick is still in Atlanta (he is on a secondary paced road), you can see vehicular traffic moving on a bridge in the background.

Them - S5-E10

Revealing mistake: After it starts raining there is a shot looking at the road in The Distance. Notice how the rain is only falling in a small area and stops just beyond where the group is at. The road is dry from there on out.

Seed - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: When Daryl, Maggie, T-Dog, Glenn and Rick are killing walkers with mêlée weapons on their way inside the prison, there is a random CGI blood spatter that appears on the crossbar of the fence in the foreground. (00:21:25)

Phaneron

Prey - S3-E14

Revealing mistake: After Andrea avoids the truck on the road, she is attacked in the woods by some walkers and pinned to a tree. After breaking free, she goes to stab a woman on the ground with her knife. But as she goes to strike, you can see the actress slowing her strike down "pulling the punch" and gently resting the blade on the walker's head instead of actually striking. (00:20:41)

Quantom X

Hostiles and Calamities - S7-E11

Revealing mistake: When Frankie and Tanya visit Eugene while he's playing the video game, he refuses to give them the pills he made. They call him a coward then leave, and in the next closeup of Eugene's video game screen we can see his reflection, but the problem is his reflection is not backwards as it should be (note his shirt buttons, etc). (00:44:10)

Suggested correction: I can see where the confusion is. If you watch it normal time, it looks like he stabs him in the cheekbone. But in slow motion, you can see the blade go into the top of the skull.

Video

Pretty Much Dead Already - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: When Shane lets loose on the gang at the barn about the two walkers Hershel and Rick just brought out from the woods, he fires several shots into the female walker's torso, as he screams at Rick about them not being human. Then subsequently fires two shots at her head. Yet she is still moving when she should have dropped. As ANY blow to the brain kills instantly. But she doesn't drop until Shane dramatically moves right up to her and shoots her in the forehead.

Suggested correction: Those two shots were actually into the torso. He fired three into the torso, paused, two more into the heart and lungs, paused, then two more into the torso before he put one in the head.

Seed - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: When the group is shooting up the walkers as they take the prison, many people are firing various guns in casual positions. Almost nobody seems to have any kick to their weapons at all. (00:11:10)

Quantom X

Rock in the Road - S7-E9

Revealing mistake: When the two cars drive down the freeway with the cable in-between them, there is no blood or body parts on the cars at the end despite the carnage, suggesting CGI effects.

Last Day on Earth - S6-E16

Revealing mistake: One of the saviours goes to shoot Carol but Morgan shoots him first, about 4-5 times. The man goes through the motions of being shot and we get a good view of his body/chest area and head, but there are no bullet holes.

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.

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.
