I agree. That would be because they are doing the right thing with that show. This show is a fricking soap opera right now. I wouldn't want to watch a show of them discussing the Young and the Restless afterwards.

No Hershel either. Just references to him. Must have had the flu breakout while filming that week.

I guess they showed a scene from next week after Talking Dead? What'd I miss?

A thing they just mentioned on Talking Dead was when Shane cut his hand to get blood while on the bus, wasn't that the same knife that was used on the security guard?


Hmmm they did seem to go out of their way to mention the guards didn't have bites. Seems like that would be a boring way for Shane to go out though

The episode was good when it followed Rick and Shane and then awful the half involving the women.




Just like an episode of The Unit. Why is the weather always so nice? Does it rain after the ZA?

They talked about preparing for the winter and getting snowmobiles. It doesn't snow enough to warrant snowmobiles. There probably aren't many places that sell them in the area prior to the zombie attack either.

I too thought it was weird how they mentioned the lack of bites. With the open wounds they have I'd be scared of getting anything in them.

Yeh that made no sense. They are loud also. Also how would cold weather affect the walkers?

Cutting your hands and fighting them off seems to be a good way to get infected. Why haven't they found ammo supply stores for guns and ammo?

Didn't they say there were scratches on the guards? Now they are implying that you can turn if you are scratched by a zombie? I kept thinking that while Rick was freaking out trying to get away from that third zombie's hand when he was covered up by three of them.

What they are trying to say is, IMHO, that everyone is infested with the "virus" but it doesn't make you become a zombie until you are dead. Either by natural causes or not.
What I've always wondered is...they always show the zombies ripping apart the victims and eating every part of them. If this is common place, why do they have so many that are almost whole walking around.

I've thought about that in just about every zombie movie. Seems to me you would have a bunch of bicycle girl zombie's around instead of "walkers."

I don't agree. To me it seemed they must have been infected another way...drinking water or something else. I wasn't convinced the guards had scratches.

I have wondered the same thing.

Would anyone like to discuss the symbolism of the walker walking across the field in the middle and end of the episode.

Could symbolize many things. The thing that got me was that if we assume they were heading TO someplace and BACK home at the end, Shane shouldn't have been looking out of the same window at the zombie...he should've been on the other side of the road in that field. That was bugging me last night.

Awesome episode last night.

frick Andrea and frick Lori. Both of them suck. I love how Andrea came out of her suicidal path (though not by her choice...it was Dale that made her not do it) but wanted to let the girl do it. Instead of talking to her about her experiences, she just straight up let the girl attempt it. That was stupid.

Loved the Rick/Shane talk at the beginning (and again at the end). Good shite. Shows that Rick is telling Shane he knows what's up and gets everything out on the table. Loved them fighting too, and that being interrupted by the zombies, which got them back to being on the same page. They fight and make up like brothers do.

Obviously Rick was coming back for Shane, but I really thought he was gonna cap the kid and then come back.

Interested to see Shane develop more.

I thought it was weird how they had so many people off camera, and didn't even mention their whereabouts. It was "Where are they?" "I don't know." Or they straight up weren't mentioned at all. Weird.

I know this is a tv show.. and this really don't bother me "that" bad, so please don't group me with all the other people that normally just watch the show to b*tch. But things we have learned about the ZA from this show:

-The grass will no long continue to grow

-Your facial hair will also stop growing as well.

-Even though you are fighting off zombies and trying to survive, you still find time to dye your hair. (See the suicide chick from last night... blonde hair, brown eyebrows)

Any more??

I get this, but if that's the case why does a small bite on the arm from a walker kill you and turn you? If everyone already had the virus, a bite from a zombie would be no different than a bite from anyone else.

When people on the show get bitten, they get sick, die, and come back as a walker.

I thought about this as well... but with it being on film, we (the viewer) have no idea what direction they are headed in. That being said, it could have well been a different zombie, or the same zombie wondering around in a different direction.

If there is something to the scratch thing, do we know if any characters on the show have been scratched? Perhaps a scratch has a much slower effect than a bite.

Great point earlier about Shane using the same knife to cut himself with that he used to stab the zombie. That fact, mixed in with the deliberate conversation about using knives when possible (they were never concerned about ammo before) and the deliberate conversation about scratches causing infection tells me that Shane is now infected.

I am not bitching b/c I find the show very entertaining but I think I would do things they haven't.

Why not collect the tanks?

Why haven't they scavenged weopons from dead soldiers?

And my plan would be to get to an island.

Maybe so, but IMO it was clearly the same zombie (in the suit/tux) walking the same direction in the ginormous field.
