I haven’t read all of the responses here because I think I am one episode behind everyone else, but the acting in this show is top notch. If these actors weren’t able to bring out that emotion in these scenes, this whole project would be a bad B-movie at best.
I keep saying it, but The Mist is representing. I hope this show lasts another couple years.
they could have kept that Vatos Episode though. That was pretty cheesy…plus they pick the same fucking actor to play “Latino thug #1” in every damn movie. It sort of takes away his credibility.[/quote]
Let me guess who your talking about the one who got shot in the ass ahahahahah. He is the same one from the Jim Carey Movie where he has God’s powers and makes a monkey come out of his ass.

I read an article about that guy a while ago, if I remember correctly he actually formed a talent company that specializes in latino thugs for movies/tv, and is a former gang member himself (as well as pretty much all the actors he has in his agency).

This guy:
Seriously, from his life experience he has created a niche market, as well as helping fellow ex-bangers get their SAG cards. Maybe Danny Trejo cost too much?

Maybe they did “off-camera” & they were all bingo ammo? Me, I’d have grabbed one of those M2 50 cals but again ammo resupply & mounting it on a vehicle would have been a problem

Dude, no one is hating the guy for being an entrepreneur…however, he is also NOT moving up the chain of command as it were. He is ALWAYS just “latino thug #1”. He is never the lead actor or supporting actor. He is the same guy in every single role he has ever played…the Latino Thug #1.
I am all for helping people with backgrounds like that find steady legal work.
It just stands out that when you see the same guy in every movie in the same role, it takes away from the role itself.

Alot of those dead bodies weren’t dead though. They were trying to get through before they woke up. I wouldn’t have touched them either just to risk grabbing a gun.

I was wondering why they didn’t drive off. Was there a need for all of them to wait for the old guy…I mean hell let the cop wait. I would have been a mile up by the time that thing went off. I have a kid and a cheating whore to look after.
Yeah I still think she’s a skank. Hell its the end of the world she lost her husband without seeing his body and she couldn’t have mourned a little…damn…hahah

Not to mention none of them know how to fix the head space problem, which, given these were National Guard weapons (e.g., hand-me-downs), would inevitably exists.

.223 / 5.56 is a very common caliber in the us. between the large amount of military checkpoints they are bound to come across, and the various sporting good/hunting/gun stores they will pass, it wouldn’t be to hard to find some ammo.
if anything it makes more sense than trying to pick up and operate/maintain a .50 with a bunch of civilians.

I have to admit wondering.
One thing the doctor said that was a “non-answer” if I ever saw one as a lawyer was, when asked what he found when testing the blood was “nothing unexpected.”
If this was a simple rabies-like contagion, it would not have spread very far or so fast. I think the disease is partially airborne — some people are partially-resistant, but go active with a more concentrated vector — e.g., a bite.
I have been wondering what happens to people who die of natural causes (or anything other than a bullet wound) — do they resurrect?
Similarly, how about immune-stressed people — such as a pregnant lady.
But, if I was a betting man, I bet he told the Sherriff his wife is pregnant.

The sporting goods stores would have been looted long ago, no?
Unlike other Zombie Movies. These things will eat anything. So what happens when the whole world every human is eating all the cows, Chickens etc…How long do these people have before its truly everyman/woman for themselves?

?? Maybe you are misunderstanding me? I’m not assuming you or any other posters are hating on him for being in every role, blame Hollywood for reinforcing stereotypes, but it works both ways, his stereotyping & acting resume & life experience probably helped in a big way landed him that role as “Latino Thug #1”.
Granted, it’s sad he has not yet risen up in the ranks a la John Leguizamo but he’s still on his grind, doing his acting thing. Hopefully he’ll get a bigger piece in another movie that does NOT need him to fill that Latino gangbanger role but that’s up to him & his agent.
Let’s face it though, when I want “crazy deranged white/black guy” I call up Gary Oldman, Samuel Jackson, etc. So it goes for Noel Gugliemi.
Sorry bout this thread diversion. Let’s get back to bitching about where the fuck is Merle?
I would much rather have an M4 than a shotgun. Range and ammo capacity would be my preference. And really, shotgun shells seem to be in unlimited supply anyway. Even if they found one 5.56 round in the show, they would have had several magazines full before you knew it.
Oh, and anyone else catch the black guy hip-firing that bolt action as he was running to the van? Haha!

i think someone in the series said it had been 68 days since the breakout right?
with an outbreak spreading that fast, i dont’ think people would have had enough time to seriously loot all places.
but my point was that there would be so many places to find 5.56 ammo (all major cities police stations, gun ranges, ect) that even picking up an empty m4 with some empty magazines would still be definatly worth it

Not only that, but when people first see a corpse walking down the street I doubt they have the composure to stop and think about what all is needed. They probably grab the first few things they think of and bolt. But, the cities seem to be too infested to go loot a Carter’s Country so those with firearms are conserving ammo as best they can. I don’t remember, did Grimes grab all the ammo from the police station or just what he could fit in the duffel bag?

Personally, I would take the crew back to the police station in the town where they were from and use that as base.
In a rural area, zombie numbers would be lower, and I’d just start going out to spots, setting off firecrackers or a car alarm, them killing zombies en masse or lure them into traps.
Do this for a couple months and your local population of zombies would be pretty damn low.
Have a secure area that you gradually expand with rings of defenses and constantly have patrols to keep zombie levels low.
