The Walking Dead Season 4

Off Topic
201

Yeah, I’d really like to have a realistic zombie show.

All men walking around with beards, even the chinese guy- sounds great to me!

I want little details that present us with ideas how shit could go down.

For instance, in a nerve wrecking environment like a true zomapo, the need to relax would greatly increase.
We’ve seen some clandestine coupling - yawn.
As if someone gave a shit seeing a dick entering a pussy while everyone shits in a hole, everyone is saving everyone’s lives 24/7, everyone’s knee-deep in blood and death for over a year!

I still have no idea how these guys recharge their rather depleted batteries.

Everybody’s ridicously superbusy and psychocool like in all US shows.
There’s this GILF teaching kids how to kill -WTF is it with muricans and killing -but a it’s a start.

Show them hanging out cavemen style, singing and cooking.
Show them getting hammered with makeshift alcohol and having orgiastic, wifeswapping group sex.
Show them doing silly sideprojects or show the GROUP(!) planning for the future.

Right now, they’re not enjoying their quiet, lonely and busy 7-11 killing schedule.

Survival of the fittest, The Weak, stupid and slow would die very fast.

203

Weak, stupid and slow can all be very fitting for a certain niche.
A zombie fits that description perfectly, btw

Nervous or downright insane is no strength at all.

The only thing in the new season that catered to my idea of proper R&R was the main character becoming a swineherd.
On the outside that was idiotic:
A messy, disease spreading animal, requiring so much work, especially at first.
Watering and feeding it while water and food may be scarce,

But internally, Rick was finally at peace while shoveling shit.
Oh, the simple life.

204

Well I didn’t see that coming. Kind of a slow episode, but it looks like some shit is going to go down next episode.

205

Yeah that was weird. Guess Rick couldn’t trust her around his kids anymore? Does that means she’s gonna be off the show, or will we be subjected to some Carol/Woodbury split episode shit? They probably have something planned where the Gov’ner comes back to kill Rick and Michonne so Carol comes back on the season finale and sacrifices herself somehow?

With Carol gone, anyone suspect a Daryl and Michonne hook up? Or is that all Tyreese after he gets over that other chick?

I can’t watch the damn show with all the Katana swingin going around.

Oh, a fucking sword is now THE weapon against zombies?
Why not Kung Fu?
Or superpowers? Everyone loves those dudes in tights now, amiright?

Why even bother with guns, they are so noisy anyways?
They need ammo, repair, can jam, are heavy etc

In reality, the damn sword would be nicked after cutting a couple zombies.
The need to really clean & oil it up constantly or draw it out of a sheath, little stopping power, a good chance of becoming stuck or hitting your friends etc…
A 20$ baseball bat would be far handier during WWZ.

I cant understand one bit how people debate “realistic” gun handling in this scene or that episode
meanwhile the black chick could as well take off into the air and kill zombies with strategic carpet farting.[/quote]

You’re kidding right? The katana is perhaps the deadliest non-projectile weapon ever created (definitely top 5). Every civilization has had a version of the word because of how effective it is. The katana is the most effective of the swords. [/quote]

Cant tell if serious or trolling.[/quote]

I am joining the chorus saying the Katana is fucking stupid.

I am no master swordsman (well, with a sword), but I have played with them a fair amount. A buddy had one and we were playing with it bored after we shot a couple of doe elk for a cull on the reservation. We had hauled them up by their back feet using a truck/rope.

Anyway, I got the bright idea I was going to chop off their head with the sword.

Wind up, swing, and WHACK — stuck somewhere on a bone in the spine. Good swing, tooo. Had to pry it out.

Repeat, WHACK — stuck somewhere on a bone, again. Again, stuck. Took 5 minutes to pry it out.

At this point it was getting disgusting, so we quit.

Anyway, yes, I know a human neck is like 1/4 as thick as an elks.

But you’d still have to hit exactly between the vertebrae, and that’s like a 1/10 chance, even if you knew what you are doing.

So, it’s stupid. And Michone is stupid, one-dimensional, character. Like a black Lori.

I’d take a bat or a light sledge. Or a piece of rebar with gloves.[/quote]

I’m of the assumption the decaying bones of the Walkers makes it much easier to slice through them. That’s why it’s so easy for them to simply bash their heads in with a single kick from a boot, and why it’s so easy to tear the limbs off of them. So it’s decayed, rotting, easily penetrated or broken bone. [/quote]

EEEExcept for the bones in their hands and jaw, strong enough to rip through jeans fabric and gut people with their bare teeth…

This is seriously the most inconsistent prime-time show ever![/quote]

Yeah, that bothers me too. Not to mention a couple of episodes when someone had recently turned after dying from the sickness had their skull stomped on and mashed like a rotten melon. There was no time for any decay.[/quote]

I enjoy reading posts about how stupid and unrealistic a particular weapon is… Innnnnaaaa show about people rising from the dead whose only purpose is to eat people.

Suspend reality when watching a zombie show. Katana’s fucking look cool and that’s why she carries one.

208

I think Rick banishing Carol had 3 points to doing it:

1 - doesn’t trust her around his kids with how cold she is now. Judith sniffles and Carol snuffs her out. He probably also didn’t appreciate her telling Carl to lie to him, after the apparent progress he has made with Carl over the time between seasons.

2 - saving her from Tyreese. This is a given, if Rick were to tell the truth, otherwise he would have to lie knowing the truth would come out sooner or later anyway and Tyreese would be after him as well as Carol, and the guy is clearly a loose canon right now.

3 - bringing her back and letting the group decide her fate would cause a split/rift among the group IMO, with some thinking she was trying to do the right thing, and others viewing her as a killer.

I’m curious to see if/how Rick reveals both what Carol did and how/why he decided to unilaterally banish her to the group at large. I have to think the council isn’t going to take kindly to Rick making that call on his own.

Reality suspended.

The thing that bothers me is there is one question I’ll never have answered.

Who the hell is running around mowing lawns and highways during the zombie apocalypse?!

This, I think. He can tell the others she confessed and he told her to get lost.

My new most hated character is that stupid blond young girl/kid with her “zombies are people too” bullshit. Just go get eaten already.

214

Ugh.

If I’m risking my ass running about snagging antibiotics, you better believe I’m packing as many medications into my bag as I can carry, not just the penicillins.

Let Hershel and his crew sort through to see what are/are not useful for humans, but if I don’t know definitively what’s making people sick, the LAST thing I wanna do is run back out there because I picked the wrong treatment. Shit, I don’t want to be given any reason to have to run back out there AT ALL.

Same with those dickbags looking through houses… as long as you’re out there, ransack the houses for cleaning supplies, toothpaste, duct tape, soap, whatever.

I know reading into a child actor’s performance is tough, but I am not getting “stupid” so much as “manipulative” and the dangerous kind of “creepy”. I think she was the one feeding the rats to the walkers and I kind of wonder if she was playing euthenasia and Carol took the blame. Granted, I can’t see her dragging two adults, but I still have my doubts.

Rick is like a comitee all at once. Pigs good. Pigs bad. “Carl keep the gun you stole from Daryl.”. “Carl, you shot an enemy combatant who showed up to face shoot you, your sister, and everyone you care about, no gun for you.” Now the same guy who doesn’t want to make decisions is making all of them.

Michonne 2014,

Ok now that really did rustle my jimmies.

I was yelling at the tv ‘YOU MORONS! YOUR PACK IS FREAKIN EMPTY!’ Also let the guy have a damn drink. Although he was the ass who had an empty pack so he didn’t deserve a drink.

Also they left green tomatoes behind.

217

Ok so y’all answer me this. The girl Rick found in the house with the disloacted shoulder guy. They panned down in a scene and showed her leg with that compass tattoo or whatever. Ok obvious foreshadowing but later in the episode, did her severed leg looked like it was clean cut below the knee? Maybe I’m just seeing shit? Maybe shoulder dude hacked off her leg so he could escape the walkers? Any ideas?

And yeah, gave Carol the boot to protect her. Wonder what he’ll say when he gets back to the prison and they ask where she is. Will he say she was taken out by a zombie or fess up?

You gotta figure, yeah, the guy didn’t pack anything in his bag but booze… but then again, he DID drag his ass out there in the first place. And given that Michonne wasn’t exactly carrying a duffel bag full of pill bottles (and wouldn’t have even known what to choose if he wasn’t there), it’s not like the booze was carried out at the expense of anything else.

Sure, he did hold up the escape for a couple seconds on the roof, but it’s not like he told them to save the bag because it had meds in it (they just assumed it did)… and can you really blame a guy for having some issues during a zombie apocalypse??

That totally struck me as a strange thing to do, but I really don’t know enough about tomatoes to have disputed Farmer Rick on that one.

219

Seems there is no sense of urgency with these morons. Why would you take as much as you could when you are out. Also I don’t think I could stay in that group I suppose its better then being alone but now that there is a plague going through and half the people you don’t even know you can trust.

220

When is Daryl going to run out of arrows?
