Instead of a vehicle designed for combat, they take a vehicle designed for middle aged people who want to feel young.[/quote]
It was pretty dumb. Kind of like in the honest trailer of Walking Dead when they talk about them driving around a brand new Hyundai Tucson.

I thought the episode sucked. I was bored and found myself flipping through my phone.[/quote]

You Sir need Hay-Zeus!

True, but only if they know how to work the head space and timing tool, which I doubt these idiots can do. Otherwise, they would end up killing themselves.

I suppose they could still put it in single fire mode with a scope, which is done with great effect by snipers, even today. You could do head shots all day long and the mount would keep you from getting beat up.

I’m guessing either Sasha or Hershel are going to die due to the flu outbreak. I have a feeling Glenn will come through alright.[/quote]
Glenn will be one of the first to get antibiotics. I can see Hershel dying from “it”, but it’d be pretty anticlimactic for the guy to go out like that. I don’t think Sasha will go just yet, only because Tyresse will instantly have nothing left to live for. And I’m still waiting to find out exactly how she earned her way onto the Council.

And WTF was up with that heard of walkers on the road? That seemed to be far bigger than any heard that had been shown to date.[/quote]
In the Comics this was explained. The city walkers would venture out collecting more zombies who would tag along with a large group. After weeks it would be hundreds of walkers just swarming the county side. So without warning you could turn a corner and be face to face With a mob[/quote]
My first thought with that was, that’s pretty much what happened at the farm. Ginormous herd shows up and simply overran the place. We know the prison’s fences were already starting to give, so that might be the excuse they use for finally leaving the prison.

Also, Daryl still calls the baby 'Lil Asskicker. That’s adorable beyond belief. And Carol proved why chopping/slashing weapons are a terrible idea for close combat headshots.

Kinda unrelated, I saw on The Talking Dead where one of the producers said 6 or 7 months passed between Season 3 and Season 4. That’s a bit longer than I expected, but begs the question of what happened to the busload of old people they brought back from Woodbury. None of them died in their sleep in all that time? Seems unlikely, but I guess not otherwise they would’ve had provisions in place for unsupervised overnight zombification.

That’s assuming they even had the tool. It’s not exactly big.

Now this is funny[/quote]
Because they are too loud inside so you can’t have a conversation unless you yell.

Totally called Carole being the killer. She’s got the whole over-zealous group protector thing going on. The real question is how does Rick handle the situation now? He either punishes her to satisfy Tyreese or does nothing and Tyreese leaves/enacts his own vengence.[/quote]

Bet he tells him but on some dumb-ass condition where Carol won’t get hurt.[/quote]

People in the quarantine will start to die off. When Tyrese gets back, Rick can just tell him it was one of the people that died. [/quote]

I dunno Rick doesn’t seem like the type that would lie like that. Maybe he will cause he wants to keep the peace. Its a hard call, you could be right.

We always left them hanging on the chain besides the M2 – that is, until we found out they cost $250 or so and people started stealing them and selling them on ebay.

Then Hershel takes off the facemask and wipes it down his face, bloody forehead first, then his mouth.

Well he realizes he is fucked so at that point it doesn’t matter. He knows that the dudes blood just got into his eye and whatever the guy had, he now has.

Watched it this morning. Came to the same conclusion as you. He just said “fuck it.”

My DVR also stopped immediately after Rick asked Carol if she killed those people, which pissed me off to no end.

Mrs. (Dr.) Jwwbacca just went off on anti-biotics not helping the flu and made me try to pause the screen on the list of meds they were supposed to be getting. Also screaming that anti-virals don’t work on established cases of flu, but may help people without symptoms.

Asprin (or whatever), IV fluids, bedrest was the best they could hope for, in her opinion. MAYBE some sort of broad spectrum anti-biotic in case of secondary infection.

She’s no fun to watch ANYTHING medical with.

She’s also of the opinion that the zombie plague is nanites; something completely artificial, and put the idea of such a plague at “vaguely not compltely impossible.”

They were at the CDC in a previous season and they said its a biological plague.

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

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!

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.

I don’t understand how this bothers you guys but nobody questions who has been cutting the grass at the prison this whole time. Or at every town they raid for supplies. Yes…bitch about the unrealistic bone decay but never question the phantom landscaper…

Or how half of the characters are clean shaven

Or how carols hair hasn’t grown more than an inch in 3 years
