[Series] The Walking Dead

And all you do is post completely pointless 3-word-remarks everywhere

are you mad?

 

[SheepDip]

Once again, painfully strung out episodes...at least there were more zombies this time!

It really gets my goat as to how they introduce stuff into the plot - and then it's completely stupid when they do.

Lori goes off on her own, without telling anyone (who in their right mind would do that, in the middle of a zombie apocalypse - pregnant mothers apparently, very irresponsible demographic), then has a car crash on a perfectly sunny day, driving down a straight open road because she's looking at a map whilst she's driving...? Then after her accident decides to keep on walking down the strange road in the unfamiliar countryside at night instead of walking back to the farm.

Then somehow (and for some reason) after the chaps get out of the bar and rip that guys leg off a fence spike (you'll recall the sun set not long before this) - it takes them until dawn to drive back to the farm?

I'm still amazed given the wealth of source material that the writers keep doing things like that.

Yeah, I agree, Beth needs some good buttsekz to snap her out of that shock.

I presume he was talking about the other one, the one that's banging with the asian boy, and I agree she definitely needs it, hard.

Another great episode

 

[LightsabeR]

This one was indeed pretty good. Finally characters behaving in ways that make sense.

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Yes, very good episode and finally

Spoiler!

Rick and Shane spoke and had it out

Finally characters behaving in ways that make sense.

Ahh, my opinion differs here. Yes, I agree the episode was pretty good, but they keep having the characters do idiotic things that just don't make sense.

Spoiler!

I know Rick is supposed to be Mr. Bleeding Heart and some of his moral stances I agree with, but making them get out of the car and walk around that school (only to get into a raging fistfight and alert every zombie in the area) was just something no one would ever do, especially for the sake of Mr. Hamburger Leg. It was totally unnecessary for them to do any of that as anyone who has decided to drive 20 miles away and drop off someone who has previously tried to kill you would have just kicked his *** out of the car anywhere and simply drove away. No one in their right mind would try to set that guy up, especially in his what has to be half dead condition, with a fighting chance. If you wanted to give him a chance, then let him stay with you. No, we need to somehow squeeze some zombies into this episode so lets concoct a scenario where the guys get out of the car and create a big commotion that attracts the zombies! Sorry, that whole scene was like the Olive Oyl scene when she takes off in the car by herself, pregnant and all, right after chastising Rick for leaving his son to go on a dangerous mission.. I mean, cmon. Stupid! Out of character! These people are doing dumb **** no one would do and at times it feels as though these things are put in there just so the producers can have an excuse to throw some zombies around.

Don't get me wrong, I like the show. I actually enjoy the drama sh!te between the characters, but I think they could work on the zombie interactions and furthermore the motivations vs. plausible actions in regards to the decisions the characters make.

Also, I thought the zombie blood would infect you, no? So how is all this zombie blood splashing around on your open cuts and mouths and eyes without infecting you?

 

[Pectus]

Good episode indeed. Finally more zombies and less crappy soap opera. More of these please.

@ REZ, I noticed that Shane used his knife to cut his hand in the bus, and as far as I'm concerned, its implied he stabbed the zombie at the gate, wouldn't that infect him?

Also enjoying the more upbeat portion of the season.

Isn't he killed early in the comic?

 

[DraKon2k]

I doubt they are basing everything off the comic since that would be retarded for their own creativity, but idk.

Spoilers?

My excuses, sir

 

[LightsabeR]

Someone on another forum brought up the point of how silly it is for them to use knives to kill zombies, and I completely agree. I mean, it shouldn't be too hard to find axes, machetes, or if one gets really lucky, even swords.

In any case, I quickly made this illustration:

Spoiler!

 

[REZ]

I dunno, if it's me I'd want to kill them with the least amount of noise and blood splatter, while also keeping them at the farthest distance. Melee weapons just don't make a lot of sense unless you've lived carelessly and allowed them to get that close to you (or you live in a TV show ).

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Bats, axes, crowbars, machetes would all be a better option than having to get in so close with a knife, but they are compact and easier to carry.
