The Walking Dead Season 4

Off Topic
61

[spoiler alert]
I just saw the first episode of the new walking dead season.

Im really disappointed. Random - is the word to describe the episode.
Everything what happends is quite random and has no continuation.

Like the pig died, eventhough Hershel is a veterinarian (animal doctor), and they wondered whats wrong with etc. etc.

And I really hate, that they’re bringing this “game of thrones”-style sh*t scripts like introducing an entirerly new character, make it someones lover, and then kill it the first episode. Not that I cared so much, but it’s horrible story telling.

What did u think?

Don’t worry it wont be long until Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell help D’angelo out of jail.

I had Hope Omar would do a walk thru in a bathrobe looking for some Honeynut Cheerios. Then walked away whistling as the zombies ran in fear

64

What I don’t get is how the kid with the glasses who was Carls friend turned? Was it a flu from pigs or was he bit or what is the deal?

65

How long has passed since Zday? I’ve seen every episode, but I’ve sort of lost concept of time. Lori got preggo and had a baby, so we are talking at least 1 year-ish - right?

Hmmmm I was happy to think he just had some organ bust and died. But he was the cook wasn’t he. Hmmm

Hey, I thought it was established that “they were all infected”… dundunduuuuuuuuun…

So, basically, they could die from tooth decay and still come back.

What is more interesting is that he was bleeding from the eyes, which one of the zombies on the fence they zoomed in on repeatedly also did.

Mebbe they have a hemoragic fever super strain?

They are all infected anyway, a bite should not really make a difference.

I would imagine the bacteria in the zombies mouth/bite must be horrific, even more so than a living human seems the zombie has no immune system, so a bite would almost certainly kill them without antibiotics.

Not as fast or a high mortality rate but, well, it’s a T.V. show.

I don’t know about you guys but I’m kind of glad harry potter died.

That video is hilarious

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.

Surely the katana is one of the best weapons for it. Decapitating zombies is quickest way of killing them with no risk of running out of ammo and is effective in close quarters.

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.

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.

Michone is one of the worst characters left, I actually hope she doesn’t get bit but instead gets killed by the governor.

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.
