The problem is consistency. The same super ninja zombie that was able to rip Dale apart with its bare hands wasn't strong enough to hold onto Carl.

They only need a strong enough bite to break skin. An infection should be what makes their bite scary, not that they have a stronger bite strength than a shark.

Law and order has broken down, other people should be their greatest fear.

If disease is only in the bite/saliva... and with the theory on this, being like STDs, in that once any saliva goes airbourne the pathogen inside it dies, as it cannot sustain living outside of the body functions, so only a direct bite would cause anything.

Any death leads to zombification, as everyone is infected. So the bite of a zombie just kills you. From that I think we can safely say that a zombie bite is venomous. It would seem that the disease causes them to grow venom glands in their lower jaw.

It would probably be more realistic if fresh zombies where stronger and faster, and the longer they have been zombies the weaker they become due to muscle deterioration. But dead things shouldn't be moving around in the first place... 😛
 
WTF? Didn't that group hear all the gunfire when Rick's bunch was playing turkey shoot in the yard?

Edit: Aw... They were locked in.

Killed the

already ... damnit, i had hopes he'd hang in there for a few episodes ...

Damnit, always
the black dude.
 
All I got to say is Samurai Zombieland...

but yeah Michonne seems to be being portrayed well in the first few scenes featuring her.

That actually was a good episode. Less stupidity FTW.

ya, though watching a bunch of people huddling around Hershel at bite distance was a little disappointing. Oh, he might be dead.. let me lean in and make sure. Oh, he's groaning... maybe he's trying to say something. Can't hear from over here though. Om Nom Nom.

I liked the episode, but I still don't understand...

why do they have to be ninjas clearing out the prison? Why not stand by a gate and start banging on a bunch of pots and pans, make monkey sounds, etc.? Make the zombies come to you, then splat. Why are they huddling through narrow, dark hallways - just waiting for zombie sneak attack?

Same with the fence outside. Why does Glen need to lead a pack of 5 walkers away so she can open the fence? Get face stabby, kill the walkers, no more leading them away.
 
There goes carl again wondering off yet he manages to come back alive every time it makes me sad.

Shit happens. 😛

It would make boring tv plus remember this is a prison and a lot of them are locked in separate areas but at least they tried using choke points even if they suck at it.

As for outside there is no reason to kill them as after a bit of time they will go away.

Rick is turning into Shane. He's crossed the line from kill-or-be-killed-right-now to kill-just-in-case. I'm not liking it.

He gave him enough chances.

The guy responded by trying to knife him and tossing a zombie at him.

Also I wonder if they would had to kill tiny as it looked like the zombie cut him with his wrist bone more and locking him in a cell would had been so easy.

but the point remains, old rick would not have done that. they spent 3 or 4 entire episodes in season 2 debating whether or not to kill an outsider!

It was obvious that once Rick killed Shane they would have to quickly evolve Rick's character because the altruist / pragmatist dualism no longer worked. The only criticism that I have is that they had the evolution happen off camera during the "winter" between seasons.

i wish they hadn't entirely skipped the winter.
 
I think 28 Days Later handled the whole zombie thing better...the zombies were faster and actually starved after awhile. 28 Days Later treated it like rabies for humans that spread like wildfire.

In Walking Dead, if everyone in the world is now infected...how did it hit the entire world and trigger the reanimation process at the same time globally? And how does it make sense that in the Walking Dead the zombies still stuck in their prison cells after 10+ months there are still alive...they should be too weak to stand at least but they didn't look any worse for wear than the other zombies. Zombie science fail😛
