I hope they run into a cult of unfathomably evil motherfuckers who all have compass tattoos.

Holding on to Carl as his "kid" is one of the only things Rick has left (besides the baby) and having to acknowledge that Carl is capable of being treated like Glenn in terms of usefulness is something Rick has been desperately trying to stave off.

Walking Dead game season 2 comes out soon. Is the 400 Days DLC worth picking up or is it solidly meh and not worth my time?

I could believe TWD does not make a profit. Half the ads seem to be plugs for AMC shows.

I don't see how it's "funny" he'd also want to be compensated for The Talking Dead?! TMZ could be taken so much more seriously if they didn't try to insert random lovely opinions into their stories that make you question everything you just read prior to it.

The worst thing the show did was the bloody CDC elaborating on details of the zombie virus. I just assume it's a concentration thing. Every living person is infected with the virus, but their immune systems are able to mostly fight it off/keep it dormant. When someone dies the virus runs crazy and takes over the body. When a walker bites a victim they get their wound full of a super-concentrated dose of the virus that overwhelms their system. Possibly also something to do with the bite itself, the flesh being damaged/partially dead at the bite point allows the virus to grab a foothold there.

The governors scientist guy seemed to be the only smart one in the series, duct taping his arms and stuff. You would think they would use some sort of padding or layers and not walk around in short sleeves.

Evernoob posted:

Really? Was that the suspected cause from Night of the Living Dead? Or an even earlier film/novel?

Anyway "explaining" zombies is impossible anyway. Rage Virus sounds much more plausible to me, with the exception of the insanely quick infection/turning speed. The only problem with them is you cannot make a multi-year long series around them as those infected tend to die from starvation/exhaustion after about a month.

Now that I think of it, have Body Snatchers been mentioned anywhere in this thread yet? Those are cool and perfectly plausible: There is some real parasite that can "zombify" ants to make them suicide by climbing to the top of leaves, and lock their jaws in the leaves so some birds can eat them.

Hershel says he hasn't had to kill a walker in the episode before he dies, but in the first episode of season 3 he kills a walker against the fence while they're first taking the prison.

Immersion destroyed.

Glenn was cool when he was a dorky but surprisingly competent guy who was a bit of a smartass, but now his character revolves entirely around being Maggie's boyfriend and it's boring.

People are probably a bit twitchy because we constantly get things like:

"Why was Lori a (shirtless short-haired male) zombie? I thought Carl shot her!"
"Wait, was that Andrea who drove the truck full of zombies into the prison?"
"I bet it's the Governor sneaking in through the fence of the prison to feed rats to zombies and then sneaking back out again!"

I feel like the scars could be a legitimate point of confusion since it's a fairly quick shot and the tattoos are distracting, but by now the thread's tolerance is pretty low.

What I really want to know is who pulled the fire alarm in the prison and who was watching them from the outside.

Mu Zeta posted:

What about how that one kid got his leg impaled and apparently can walk around a couple days later.

computer parts posted:

Was he ever shot in the head, or just stabbed? He could just be a walker.

Dead Snoopy posted:

I thought it was Lori coming out into the field to put the killshot into his dome.

so we still don't know who was feeding rats to the zombies right

It's supposed to take place in a sort of alternate version of reality where zombies never became one of the big movie monsters and most people have never heard of them.

Bigass Moth posted:

I think it's pretty funny that Michone's zombie on a leash thing has been proven to work perfectly twice but nobody else has tried it and they didn't string up a bunch of jawless zombies at the perimeter of the prison even though their smell clearly covers human scent.

NESguerilla posted:

The whole thing is just bad logic. Why do they become docile things that you can walk around like a dog if you cop off their jaws and arms in the first place?

Shouldn't they still be trying to eat her even if they can't?

Surlaw posted:

I love this post.

Mexcillent posted:

The only downside of Michonne killing her walker camouflage is the sheer horror potential of the herd getting bigger and bigger and then all of a sudden one or two walkers realizing she's alive. I kept waiting for that to happen and it didn't.

UnnaturalSELECTION posted:

You know, I've known people who've been through major wars and disasters and stuff when they were adolescents and they did not treat their parents like that whatsoever. He's being a brat. The kid is 13. If he was like sixteen seventeen I could see him challenging rick but he's like still real tiny.

He's been messed up by Shane. I don't think it's a given that a teenager would be that cruel to his father as he dies

Emily Kinney, who plays Beth, is actually 28, they've never said how old Daryl is and Norman can pass for much younger. It isn't something I want but it's also not out of the realm of possibility.

I don't know if it's just in this thread or if it's everywhere, but the thing where people think Bob might be a serial killer is really loving weird. There's been literally nothing to indicate he's anything more than an alcoholic and it's surprising to me how often people post speculation about how he's going to secretly just up and kill some people.

Grin and Tonic posted:

Milton's studying of whether zombies retain any memory was really interesting and could have been cool but TWD did gently caress all with it (and hasn't there been instances of zombies sort of returning to places they frequented alive, like Morgan's wife?), but it's a slippery slope. Handled well there could be a lot of possibilities with that, but I could understand the writers not wanting to open up that loving pandora's box and having people question fictional monsters motives and all that even more than they do now, so gently caress it let's kill some zombies.

Every time Kirkman says "Stop liking Daryl or I'll kill him off!" I want to slap him because I know he's not kidding. Get him away from the show.

quote:

"I get a lot of hate mail every time I kill any character in the comic, which always aggravates me," said Kirkman when asked whether any "Dead" characters should be untouchable. "Specifically about the Daryl thing — that fan reaction's going to get him killed, because I feel like it's a dare. I'm like, 'Oh really, really? You're going to riot? All right, we'll see.' No one is safe."

Good thing they didn't do something stupid, like shoot it and air it.

I mean did the guy in season 1 definitively say that this was going on everywhere, wasn't it just something like "Paris went dark"? It'd be kind of hilarious if it was just happening in America and the rest of the world was leaving it the gently caress alone. Though I guess that's basically the ending to 28 Days Later.

Seriously, Darryl is ~*cool~* and everything and that one episode where he got lost in the woods was cool, but ever since then all we get is Darryl being a superhero with his loving crossbow and motorcycle. It's just bad.
