    There was another fence along the side of the dumpster with a bunch of plants behind it. Should have climbed it.

    Not sure really. I just know it showed the one fence several times and there were just a bunch of plants on the other side; no zombies up against it like the other fences.

    Yeah I just edited as I rewound the episode and it didn't look like there were any on that one side.

    So now noise draws walkers three inches from live flesh away?

    Just be dead, yea it's a dumbish way to go but anything other than him being dead is too absurd even in the suspended reality world we operate ITT.

    I still refuse to believe it would be as hard as the show makes it seem to deal with these zombies. Why not do stuff like dig huge fire pits to catch and burn them in?

    Something. But we're talking about an enemy that, while numerous, is slow, unarmed and is easily manipulated. Also, why no body armour? I mean I know its not just laying around but still. When I go to play paintball I layer up. If the only way these things can infect you is to bite you and half these cats that die get caught slipping from behind, why not layer up and wear as much leather or something as possible when on a run? you've literally got access to all the clothing you could want

    These are my constant issues with the show:

    1. With all the shit they have found during supply runs, why don't they have better body protection?

    2. When they come across walkers behind a fence, trapped in a room, etc they just leave them for later. Why don't they murk those fuckers first before finishing their mission? (The prison, the warehouse when looking for converters)

    3. When you have herd of them why do you not figure a way to explode, catch on fire or otherwise do mass damage to the crowd?

    4. Normally these things are loud as shit and slow. How is it that a group of 10 people can be standing around talking about their feelings and one creeps up and bites someone?

    These have consistently been my 2 gripes. If you're going to ever have a life without zombies, you're going to have to kill them all. Why do they leave so many walking around? And the inconsistencies with loud vs quiet vs running vs walking zombies has long been a gripe of a lot of people. How about that zombie that was laying on the ground in the JSS episode apparently faking dead before jumping to life and trying to bite that girl. Think the same thing happened to Hirschel's leg.

    I would have a lot of trouble biting through a flannel shirt. I like how the zombie who killed shotgun guy was able to take a chunk out of that dude through a shirt after being dead for quite a while.

    Also, wouldn't nearly all of the zombies be toothless by now?

    yep. The physical makeup of the zombies has never made sense, especially the fact that they clearly want to eat but most of them shouldn't still be walking around because they haven't eaten enough. The majority of these things should starve to death. But besides that their teeth should definitely be rotted or at least they shouldn't have enough muscle in their jaw to easily rip chunks of flesh out. And what is it about their teeth that gets you infected when their blood won't?

    But even with all that it should be a lot easier to destroy large groups of zombies. Lure them somewhere and burn them all.

    An episode entirely about Morgan sounds awful. He used to be awesome, but now he sucks and is a naive bitch.

    and I hope Enid got gunned down by AK-Rick

    Don't think Enid was gunned down by Rick. I think she more or less just went off on her own because things were getting hairy and a big part of "just survive somehow" is knowing when to just get the fuck out.

    Also, I think Morgan killed the dude at the end of episode 2. So maybe he woke up? Who knows.

    That's my hope as well. People will be like, "Whew, at least he didn't die senselessly. If Glenn can make it out of that he can make it out of---wait... what the? OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAWD!" Will be fantastic.

    Head Writer: Ok guys, we need a filler episode in between Glenn's apparent death and our reveal he's actually alive. Ideas?

    Writer: How about we devote an entire episode to Morgan's backstory? I mean, the audience has zero emotional attachment to the character at this point, but, whatever, the critics and fanboys eat up that 'character development' shit.

    Head Writer: Promote this guy!

    I like the story here though, I'm assuming Morgan becomes a much bigger character and that's why we are getting this episode.

    I like this guy though, saw his demise coming though.

    Well I think we can all probably guess what's gonna happen with that dude from the Wolves that Morgan is hiding in Alexandria.

    By the way...what the fuck???

    "Hey this guy wants to kill everyone here and has explicitly told me so. Oh yeah, also he's bitten and is going to turn at some point. Hmmm, I wont tell anyone he's here though. There's definitely no way he can escape even though no one is keeping an eye on him."

    Great logic.

    As much as I was dreading the episode tonight, I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Told a pretty solid story for why Morgan is what he is now.

    Now let's find out what the fuck happened with Glenn and Rick. My body is ready.

    There is no plot line. The comic (and story) is about people and how they live in this world. Its part of the reason why the show sucks sometimes, because the majority of the actors and the writing is poor.

    I know you have to do it or there really is no show, but America is huge. There's no way survivors would be running into zombies at every single turn. Out in the woods? Zombies. On a farm? Zombies. Driving down the road? Zombies.

    Something they've never addressed, what happens to the zombies in a below freezing climate. In Virginia, where they are currently, they definitely see they're fair share of below freezing weather in the winters. What happens to the walking dead when say it stays below freezing for a week at a time or so?

    Say 90% of the United States has turned. That would mean around 70 zombies per square mile which is a minor problem to a small group of survivors with even the most rudimentary ability to defend themselves. Considering numbers would be heavily skewed towards large population centers, it's conceivable that survivors that take to the woods would never see more than a couple and would be in very little danger unless they decided to head back to urban areas to scavenge

    I've always said if shit hits the fan like this I'm getting back home to Arkansas. My parents live on a mountain and we have a farm that has a bluff along the back side of it. My gf's parents' house would be the ultimate. It's a good 40 mins outside of town with no neighbors or anything. You would just have to randomly stumble upon it if you were walking. You can just straight up disappear there now as it is.

    yep. Build some type of fence/moat and you'll be ok. Also if people use half a brain and wear some type of body armor while out. Even something like boiled leather will probably protect you from bites. I've also continuously wondered about heading to an island or peninsula or something. plenty of islands off the east coast where you can clear it of walkers and live a pretty plush life if you can figure out how to fish.

    So much this.

    There are boats available everywhere, and islands in warmer climate areas as well. Even if there is a small zombie presence, they can be cleared out rather easily. You then have access to all the resources on the mainland, and essentially zero chance of zombies making their way to your island paradise.

    Kick back and enjoy mai tais on the beach for the rest of your life.
