One theory posits it was just a continuity mistake. I’m not sure I buy that.

I don’t buy it, either. On WD, there are many little details like that that come back to mean something later.

But I can’t see Carl not being aware and ready.

"I don’t buy it, either. On WD, there are many little details like that that come back to mean something later."

Yes. And if a Freeper caught it (and that was a GREAT catch), no doubt plenty of TWD crew would have, too.

"But I can’t see Carl not being aware and ready."

I agree. But what if they were both asleep?
