Re: The walking dead

Last night's episode was just ok. Only really exciting part was about the last 30 seconds.

Re: The walking dead

I would like to see them apply some actual science to zombies like this. How long could the dead walk b4 these things wiped them out? 1 year, 5 years, 10 years? longer?

But thats why zombie movies are not really horror movies. Because if all other on life remains such as plants, living humans, bugs then the dead cannot last that long no matter how they try they decompose & fall apart. The chemistry of the earth has not changed or other things would die and this doesn't happen.
Even in cold they would rot, in the heat they would just fall apart and stink
Flies lay maggots , which would de-flesh the carrion in less than a hot humid Atlanta day in them and if there are deer there are dogs running wild and coyotes and they would have a field day on the stench and a decaying muscle on a zombie still moving would be no match for a hungry pit bull mutts running free.
It would take a while because billions of people don't all die at once but you could ride it out and hopefully avoid other infections from the decay and bacteria that would be worse then the zombies.

Dead things just don't look the same if they are truly dead for very long. Plus there need to be some bloated up gas filled zombies which happens to dead things they inflate and seep pus. You hit a gas bag zombie with a gun and it will look like a water balloon blimp blowing up.
Dust to dust....

The real threat and fear will start after the zombies are all dead and the human safety net is gone and its road warrior time where 21st century people are back like cave men as everything is used up or not working.
The humans left are worse creatures of the night then the walking dead. Don't believe it ask someone who saw Hitler in action or Bin Laden.

Romero's movies both good and bad are about us, we are the walking dead and more scary then any zombie will ever be.

Re: The walking dead

Oh yes even if they were still alive with such wounds it would not stop flies from laying maggots in the compromised flesh of any zombie, millions of flies even on a living animal with a bad wound will be covered in maggots after a day or two. It is likely those insects that would quickly end the zombie invasion.

Re: The walking dead

i like the show, but what i thought of last night was that this story has been told before. the zombies could just as easliy have been indians and this story could have been set in the old west. the ending esp reminded me of that. 2 soldiers trapped behind enemy lines with the indians, nazis,communists- what have you closing in.

i have not read the graphic novels but heard the raves- so i hope the stories start going in that direction and not down the same path as a hundred other tv shows have.

Re: The walking dead

I want Shane to love me in my butt. He is so delicious.

Yeah, that lost girl is lucky I am not in their group. If it was me, I will be like "bitch, I ain't gonna look for your dumb ass daughter. She's a walking zombie appetizer. Start this shit ass RV and let's go already!"

I wish they just abandon search and leave. I want more zombies.

Re: The walking dead

Where the hell is that girl?

Kind of a slow episode.

It was interesting that while technically unspoken, the whole "the black person in these types of situations usually ends up dead" aspect of the story was acknowledged by T-Dog.

Re: The walking dead

Liking the season so far, but its still slow as HELL. The scene where they were hiding under the cars was cool but it was wayy more exciting during the season 2 preview. I want to know if they were ever bring back the black man and his son and Merle. I haven't read the comics so I should add that to my To-Do list. I still think Rick's wife is a bitch.

HAHAHA! I feel the same way. I'd get the hell out of Dodge!

Re: The walking dead

most interesting thing about this episode was the charming old country farm house interiors.

Re: The walking dead

p.s. Aw, Rick and Shane:

KISS KISS KISS!


I want to be in the middle of that :/

 

[FanofFiction]

Re: The walking dead

When I first saw ^^ that scene, I was like, "Oh my God! Is Shane going to kiss him?!?" I was so excited! I say shoot the sheriff and leave me the deputy! I want him!!!

I like this season... but it does seem to be a lot slower then the past one. Everyone I watch it with is hating the females characters this season (I watch the show every Sunday with two gay guys, my sister, and three girl friends). It would be nice to see a strong female lead, not a frantic crying mother, a suicidal "life is over" chick, and a sidekick. Where's the Ripley, Sarah Connor, or Buffy woman? Girls kick ass, let's see that!

Re: The walking dead

Was I the only one that felt the steaminess twice in tonight's episode?

 

[todwod]

Re: The walking dead

Dang...already a gif of shane.

NICE!

 

[DigitalFudge]

Re: The walking dead

^ No, I went from being totally outraged at what went down with Otis...To swooning over Shane's shirtlessness and shaved head. (Dunno about any other steaminess but that was hot omg).

This was the strongest episode of the season so far. I loved that the characters had some downtime to discuss things. Maggie & Glenn <3. Lori and Rick's conversation about children growing up in a zombie infested world was very touching.

I really can't stand that child actor who plays Carl tho. He's terrible. Can they recast that kid, please? Ugh.

ps. I'll just leave this here:

Have not seen the episode yet (Will tomorrow morning) hesitated to come into this thread.... But now I know why I did

Re: The walking dead

Quite the dick move by Shane. Attempted Rape wasn't enough? Now he adds murder to the list.

Re: The walking dead

I don't really blame Shane too much. I might have done the same thing, especially since this was a total stranger. Besides, if the zombies had got both of them, they wouldn't have made it back with the supplies needed to save the boy's life.

And honestly, when they first showed Shane coming back to the house without Otis but didn't show how the zombies got him, the first thought that popped into my head was that Shane sacrificed him to get away. Then when they showed it I was like, "OMFG!!! I knew it!!"

Re: The walking dead

I'll just say a couple of things about the new season: the budget has definitely been cut, and you can see it doesn't have that grande apocalyptic feeling to it that it had last season. Also, the zombies look less scary and more human like than last season.

However, I can forget all that with all the bromantic moments this season. And wow.. Shane.. I definitely didn't see that coming! Overall a good start to the season, but I still liked season 1 more.

Re: The walking dead

The season is moving slow. But they now have 12 episodes in a season instead of just 6. But this season is no where near as good as the first season. I agree that the wife is a bitch and Carl is a annoying kid. Someone needs to get bit soon.

Re: The walking dead

The storylines are dragging out too slowly. The lost girl plot is boring as fuck. Aside from the surprise at the end of the last episode, this season has been forgetful so far.
