His right foot is the one that's missing. I guess you can drive with your left, but shite, not as easily as they made him look

Yeah but I bet it could be picked up pretty quickly when you know you'll be that way for the rest of your life (and the length of that life might just depend on if you can do it).

I think someone up thread mentioned they had a friend who had lost the use of his right foot and lower right leg and drove with his left.

Not sure if this was discussed or not, but how the hell did Herschel drive?


I mean, I thought about it for a second. But it's not exactly a big deal.

Hershel survived a leg amputation performed with a hatchet upon a dirty prison floor and without proper medical care, during the zombie apocalypse, but using his left leg to drive is unrealistic.

I loved this episode. I have hated other episodes both fast and slow alike. But, this one was very interesting and well done. Had points to make and made them. I got bashed for being negative against a slow episode earlier in this part of the season but this episode was solid. Slow or not.

Just for a note, The Americans is a good show but it is too fast. There is ALWAYS something happening and it is kind of starting to seem unbelievable. It makes me appreciate the episodes like Walking Dead S3 Ep 13.

I broke my right ankle and drove with my left foot. No problem at all though most likely not legal. But, I do not believe they have a law enforcement problem.

He had a cop with him in the car. If pulled over they'd let him off.

For the record, it would have been a whole hell of a lot easier to drive without my right leg instead of the boot / broken ankle there.

Anyone else growing tired of the chinaman and Maggie? I hope they both die a slow, horrible, death... and I hope the walker(s) responsible rapes both of them in the ear hole before devouring it.

Oh and does anyone else think Hershel bites it and Norman becomes the group 'conscious'?

Stuff like this always kills me. It's a zombie apocalypse yet what we find unrealistic is that the cheetos they are eating haven't gone bad.

The whole realistic vs unrealistic thing in TV just makes no sense. I'm not sure why that has become the #1 criticism about certain shows.

May even find a Twinkie.


Speaking of searching vehicles, I was watching the end of the Clear episode again and noticed that just before they picked up the hitchhiker's backpack, they passed a car accident where one car was loaded down with multiple chests and cases. Why not stop and grab those as well?

I know the answer is that they can't show them constantly looting wrecks and that picking up the backpack when they wouldn't pick up its owner showed how cold they have become. However, if I was the director, I wouldn't have shown all of the cases on that car at that time.

I don't find that too unrealistic. Conditions can't have been that different from Civil War amputations.

quote:

The survival rate for amputations done in the first 24 hours after an injury was very good, with only 25% mortality. When amputations were done after the first 24 hours, the mortality rate doubled to 50%. Naturally, surgeons tried to ship patients through as quickly as possible.

A 75% survival rate seems pretty good.

Fair enough, but you have to remember than many of the Southern soldiers were vampires. That likely skewed the numbers.

They also weren't chopping up walking rotting corpses with their surgical instruments.

Didn't they make a statement that those instruments were kept clean for that exact purpose?
