It has been 2 days and the cops still haven't checked out a church where a kid says he saw people eating each other. Also after one day a dude went in and saw evidence of some super bad poo poo and also did not tell the cops. And the people does tell don't give a poo poo about massive blood piles.

I've said for a long time that TWD takes place in a universe where the average person is just dumb as gently caress. It's canon. Remember the well? And the concept of the dead rising, something that's been in literature for hundreds (thousands??) of years, does not exist. It's canon!!!

This show sucks poo poo through a straw so far. I don't know what else to add. The loving TellTale game set up a zombie apocalypse better in its first five minutes.

I don't think the kid told the cops where we was. And then the dad didn't tell the cops. And then the mom didn't.

At least the kid had a reason because he thought he was high/insane and didn't want to give evidence to be arrested/committed. Parents have no excuse.

Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

No, he said they will have one after this seasons finale. Maybe next season if there is enough interest.

The problem with the parents not caring about the blood pile could have been easily solved if they had dialogue about them being concerned that son was involved with foul play, and they wanted to find more details before talking to cops.
