"i lolled at the ending scene where the horse was being torn apart. nothing persoanl against horses.. just reminded me of a scene from some other zed movie.. the flesh being torn apart.. was that land of the dead?Survival of the Dead actually. And for the record you will see alot of things that remind you of zombie movies (atleast the comics are littered with them) main one being the 28 days later opening. & since I dont want to say if your prediction is correct or not, I will say Depeche Mode has your answer.

Here is the link to the motion comic and you can see the difference between the comic and the series up to the point where the motion comic ends...http://www.amctv.com/originals/The-Walking-Dead/video?bcpid=86227333001&bclid=625294009001&bctid=167654562001 Do you find this valuable? |

Things I learned in week two:1. Do not try to mask myself as a zombie by using zombie blood and guts. I may have a small cut, or some may splash in my eyes. Then I am a zombie. 2.Do not suffer anyone who is going to cause problems in my group (I would have killed the redneck right then and there after I handcuffed him, because I know he will cause more problems in the future.) 3. recon the locations I am planning to enter. And go in groups that I trust, and I know can do their jobs. 4.Sewers, and storm water pipes are a BIG NO NO! If someone in the group is such a dumb ass as to be a redneck racist in a situation like post zpoc, and had attacked me and drew a gun on me, he or she is dead if they do not kill me first. Also I would not be wandering off into the woods alone either, and definitely would not be getting busy in the woods, that may be have wandering zombies, or raiders all around. Stupid mistakes of the week: 1.They had plenty of time to barricade the door of the department store. Why did they not do so. 2. Disguising themselves by smearing zombie guts all over them was ridiculously stupid! Like I stated before, the possibility of having a small cut, or splashing something in your eyes is too high. 3. Why did they have to go to the construction yard, on foot, through a horde of zombies, smeared with zombie gut, to get to the keys of a truck, then go and hot wire a car away from the building? why didn't they just hot wire a car close to the building,(the bus that was blocking the alley, anyone?) and use that to distract them away? 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

1. Everyone is already infected, Zombie bites are fatal and anyone who dies of any reason other than severe cranium trauma, turns. (for the last time these are not typical zombies). Putting some guts on your clothes would work in this world.2. Again Rick is still showing signs of humanity, so did T-Dogg for that matter, and T was the one who got assaulted, and I am puzzled by your reaction to this, there are alot of examples I could use for the apparent "bad guy" turns out to be one of the best allies(Vegetta, Venom, Brainiac, Magneto) and do remember this is a comic book. 3. Rick is the only person HE knows in the group, It probably would be nice to know, but his situation does not allow him to know the ability of the survivors he came across. 4. Atleast trying to find an alternate exit was a smart idea, Glenn having known the layout of the building was also a smart idea. as for the mistakes, 1. Barricade yourself with 1 known exit now covered in debris and zombies, like I said before finding an alternate exit would be more valuable. 2. When every living human is already infected, smearing blood will have no ill effects(save for a rash from the blood) but this also means ALL drinking water would be drinkable (as you dont have to worry about a dead zed in your lake) in this situation, this was the smartest idea. 3. The Car Alarm! that was the distraction, and it drew a large number of the "Geeks" away from the building, could they have been sure other cars would even have an alarm, or that just the sound of an engine would be enough to get their attention? Kirkman never wrote the story with survival nuts in mind, he designed a story that is character driven, filled with emotion, and sometimes taken over the edge with the mall ninja's. It is supposed to be a fun, well thought out fantasy story. And that is exactly what this show is. Do you find this valuable? |

Where does it say everyone is already infected? That has never been stated in the show. It is still a bad idea to smear yourself with zombie guts/gore in order to fool zombies. Even if you don't become infected from the zombie virus, a person can still become very sick from pathogens that are created in dead, and dying humans. (would you smear a dead road kill raccoon all over you body to go hunt other raccoons? No you would not, because you would not get close to any other raccoons, because they would all run off when they smell you.)As for the redneck, many of us survival nuts would have killed him immediately. For the people who want to live in a fake world, and hope that the "bad" guy will turn to the "light side", that does not happen very often. I also meant that he should have been more careful about going into the city. And it is still a good idea to have barricaded the main doorway that was being swarmed by zed. If they had, they would have had more time to figure out a better escape, instead of a hair brained idea of smearing zombie guts all over oneself. That being said, a person's point of view concerning the show depends on what reason they are watching the show, and one's personal background, among other things. One can suspend belief to a certain extent, but sometimes things can get just totally stupid. Do you find this valuable? |

They seem to waste a lot of ammo on these zombies when they do not have to. They need to learn how to use melee weapons.

Putting some guts on your clothes would work in this world.Rick specifically states not to get any of the guts and gore on your skin, or in your eyes, when they are covering themselves with the zombie gore. They already knew that it could infect them, and it was a bad idea. Do you find this valuable? |

The biggest problem I had with that scene was that he used the axe directly against the concrete floor. That would dulled and dinged the blade! I would have dragged the body onto a pallet first, at least.

I lol'd at Glenn inthe ending.Yup, enjoy that car buddy. Anyway, the only part that bothered me was the blood smearing part. Also the fact that Glenn and Rick seemed to use the axe and crowbar too lightly, like they hardly put any effort when smashing the zombies. Do you find this valuable? |

I think they might have just been trying to knock them over or get them out of the way, like when Rick clobbered the one when he was climbing out of the tank.

Zhunterd, we think alike, but...1) I'm OK with the scent coverup tactic, but agree that they were WAAAY too cavalier about how it was applied. (I blinked every time the axe came down). Get yourself a fluid-barrier layer (rain gear?), then dip an outer layer and put THAT on. Yes, it's going to be stifling but those zombie guts are biologically hot and you've got to take every precaution. 2) What to do with the racist is a serious dilemma. There are so few people left, and the characters still have enough humanity, that just executing him is an anathema... but... what's the alternative? He's made it plain that he's going to be a problem. Obviously, T-Dogg is wrestling back & forth with his conscience, while trying to get the hell outta there. I'd say, if I was thinking clearly, I'd leave the hacksaw within reach? 3) All of the things you mention make sense... but may not be luxuries the survivors can afford. 4) Definitely stay out of the sewers! Both visible and audible cues to Z presence are greatly diminished! Re: stupid mistakes: esp. if you're not going to do a better job of barracading the store, hasn't Rick already learned not to draw their attention by just standing there in plain sight of them? A major city is clearly not a defensible perimeter. Get thee to an island, I say! Do you find this valuable? |

Have any of you read the comics? they went for a while but they were awesome when I read them as a kid.The Walking Dead is not just a reference to the zombies of the show but to all the people still alive also, in the comic they discover no matter how you die you will reanimate as a zombie, and they dubb themselves "The Walking Dead". I kinda hope that the show follows the comics as closely as the first episode. Episode 2 was extremely different but I am not complaining yet. The kid in the charger was not really supposed to ditch out like that and become a main character but than again there wasn't supposed to be a large group scavenging in the city in the comic either. So far as a reader of the comic I am loving it and hope it keeps going strong, finally something to smack all those vampire love shows that made me want to vomit. Do you find this valuable? |

Get yourself a fluid-barrier layer (rain gear?)That axe scene was just too funny if not disgusting though. The saw clearly fell off the ramp when T-Dogg ran by, so I am sure it is accidentally within reach for Malcolm in episode 3. The sewers were just an idea they had based on the woman's prior occupation of knowing where they lead. Since they were only planning to scavenge and get back to Ricks wife and the rest of the group they didn't expect Rick to make their in and out plan difficult. We also forget that they are just regular people living regular lives before this happened, not like members here who are prepared for the worst and know what to do in the situation they were in. They were only a scavenge party so I don't blame them for being in the city, the kid even mentions that he usually scavenges alone and the one time he takes others it goes to hell.

The disguising themselves as zombies was pretty sharp. execution was off but it was still a good move considering the odds.The racist bit presents a dilema. On one hand you know he's gonna be a problem cause he's a trope. However on the other hand they all know each other so he was either reserved about it or something set him off. Personally speaking I don't give a rat's butt what he believes so long as it doesn't cause group upset. And from the semi-shocked expression from the group RE his outburst this was a recent development. Do you find this valuable? |
