Walking Dead-Season 2

Silly to wonder why any of this rag-tag band of survivors are not reading Sun Tzu's "Art of War" first then deploying tanks and digging moats....their entire world has turned into a nightmare, their loved ones are dead, their brains just don't work at this stage, other than a constant state of shock.

Cut them a little slack for not being oh so clever with the zombie killing. We'd all be F'ed in the head too and not thinking clearly in the same situation!

Seems obvious though, just find a nice big boat with high-enough sides that no zombie can climb up from out of the water....and relax. :laughing
 
I saw Shane for a shitbag opportunist from the start. Never cared for kinda hot blonde chick. Old dude is obnoxious. Rick's a crappy leader. Helpless kids are a lame plot device. Token black guy isn't that interesting. Short-haired mom chick is forgettable. The only characters that inerest me at all are the redneck played by Norman Reedus, and the Asian dude. And the zombies.

All that aside, I love the show! :laughing

It's not THAT hard, is it? I mean, with no tv, no beer, no video games, no nothing at all to do except sit on your ass thinking omgzombiesgonnagitme omgzombiesgonnagitmezomg, seems like you'd have plenty of time on your hands to look around at your surroundings, get paranoid, and think man that bush is in the way, if a zombie was coming it could be right on me I'd never see it-- so you go smash the bush. After a bit you have a little clear space around your camp. A string and some cans is not such a high-IQ stretch is it? A dog to keep you company and bark at shit shouldn't be too hard to find.

Now, outfitting a nice barge to produce fresh water, DIY ammo and zombie diesel, that's more advanced stuff for the clear-thinking survivor.

I would prefer more barricading, a la Dawn Of The Dead. But I can appreciate that the general audience wants to see a traditional drama.

BTW, Georgia is becoming a big zombie fan state, due to this show. While I don't normally think of the Deep South as zombieland, it was genius to set the show there.
 
only just finished season one.

these guys fail the first true rule of Zombie Survival: LOOT EVERYTHING

They drive by houses with cars sitting undriven in the driveway, houses in the countryside with their doors and windows unsmashed. Fuel in the tank is INVALUABLE. Country houses often have firearms, which is the one currency their world seems to accept.

They run around their building that has only a couple exits to secure. They collect ONE of many diesel work trucks at the construction site. They bypass at least one Ma Deuce with a loaded belt hanging off of it. There's a Deuce and a Half with the multifuel capable engine sitting right next to the tank. Siphon from the rigs you don't want while you got the clowns in the lowriders drawing the walkers off. Find a Micky D's and strain some veggie oil.


Ditto at the CDC building. A sandbag nest with a loaded heavy machine gun sitting RIGHT THERE. Strap that mofo to the jeep!

Loot the bodies! get everyone in your rag tag fugitive fleet running the same less explosive fuel. Ditch the tiny tank custom bike. Everyone sets up their living arrangements in the bed of the trucks, so no one is on the ground sleeping if a horde is coming- Entire encampment rolls in the time it takes to start the engines.

Then you can worry about your cardio :p

don't get me started on "touching moments of relatives turning" crap. Reamimated zed woulda torn her face off the second it's eyes opened. But gotta have the drama I suppose.

You mean like establishing a kill zone, exactly like in the short story the Omega Man/Last Man on Earth were patterned after?
Best to park right up against those trees, instead of in the middle of that field they're using as a graveyard I suppose. Only way you can get a character culling for plot reasons.

As stated in the Zombie Survival Guide, a machine gun is near useless against zombies. Same for grenades. Headshots only. At best an M2 would leave a bunch of limbless, ankle-biting crawlers.

+1, that was an entire "filler" episode, weakest episode of the series so far. :(
 
cattle, horses, and light on all day and night and somehow, magically, the walkers never come near the farm?

and let's clip clop of horses right up the main street of the little town, broad daylight, then go get nekkid and get laid without making sure the coast is clear?

:facepalm

these ppl deserve to get killed

Funny how the party at the farm pisses you off. Hey there was a zed in the well?! To me that scene was fantastic! Ruined the well and probably any nearby though. But, did you see the scenes from next week? Merle's back! High-five! Oh sorry Merle...

Yeah lots of teasers, Merle is back, and looks like they find the girls doll.

I predict the farm will end badly. Guy decides to let them stay and then I am guessing they get overrun and have to move on. Too nice at the farm.
 
Yeah, I don't really get the " NO Guns at The Farm" vibe because they don't have any zeds, ah...except for the one in the well ?!!? - Where the heck that HE come from ? Nice disembowelment, though.

'bout time Glenn got some ! Can't say I'd trust anyone of those clowns with my life after anchoring the belay for maximum failure leverage onto an old pump, though.

So much FAIL to go around - you'd really think SOMEBODY would sit them down and say "we need to develop a tactical plan..." but nope, it's just tumble from one scrape to the next.

Oh, and another thing-- Sun Tzu's Art of War is barely 50 pages long. :p
 
party? not 'zactly but when they're sneaking through the woods nearby,a fraid to come across a walker, afraid to call out Sophia's name bc it might attract a walker- yet there's all just gettin' down on the old homestead...:wtf

ok it s zombie apocalypse and we're already stretching the bounds of reality but can we at least keep continuity for issues?

looks like mseth may have been correct in his plot possibilities re: Merle :thumbup

think anyone listened to Shane at the memorial cairn and thought- wait a second, this doesn't sound right? this doesn't match up to what he said when he first got back? does anyone have a clue that he shot Otis?

See, I was wondering when this happened-- there were NO witnesses, and with Otis all et up, there's absolutely no way for anyone to ever find out, ever.

...Unless Shane is a fuckin moron about it. I figure for one he's gonna be all tormented and crap and generally acting bizarre, so it's just a matter of time before he does something completely dipshit and stands up in the middle of dinner and blurts I SHOULDA SHOT YOU LIKE I SHOT OTIS or some crap. Cause he's special like that.
 
You guys pick too many nits. The zombie in the well bit was hillarious and awesome. When his lower half fell down the well I almost sprayed beer out my nose! :laughing I was pleased that they didn't go for a zombie attack cliche while Glen and the hot chick were going to pound town in the drugstore. They cut that one too short though :(

Somebody will catch on to shane's shadyness. The two ladies he was walking with seemed confused by his rambling.
