The Walking Dead Season 3... SUNDAY NIGHT!

[raasco]

This show keeps getting harder and harder for me to watch. It seems like they keep adding so much pointless drama this season.

 

[blankslate]

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😛

Obviously it was a world government inside job.... :whiste:

I kinda feel the same way...they should get to the ocean and commandeer a ship to visit France or wherever that CDC scientist said they were close to a breakthrough before communications broke down😀

It's obviously the work of "The Man".

So if Hershel dies and comes back as a zombie, does he become... Hershel... Walker? (yes, I stole that from my sis-in-law and the interwebz. 😛)

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 28 Days Later they weren't zombies. They were infected people and were still alive so they could starve. Zombies are dead and don't need to eat to keep walking around. They just do it because they are zombies and it would make a boring story if the zombies were just wondering around not bothering anybody. Zombies would freeze though so you go North.

I don't see why they would freeze that much not to mention it would be that much harder on the group.

Also they are unable to get around much because of large amounts of zombies preventing it as they said in the beginning of the series.

 

[Fritzo]

Aw MAN! Did you see this latest episode...with the zombies...and...the killing...and stuff? And how about that scene where they thought they were doomed but found a way to escape just in time?! Wow!


Ok ok....I didn't see it 🙁

A zombie is seen in one episode eating a deer or something, suggesting they need to eat...or else what is the point of eating if they don't have to? And why wouldn't a zombie need calories/sustainment? The frame of the body would still deteriorate without consuming some kind of calories. And in the Walking Dead case, if everyone is already technically infected then why are the walkers so concerned with pursuing the living if not to eat them? The bite of a walker apparently doesn't turn you but it is fatal...therefore coming back to life as a zombie after dying from the bite. The human strain of rabies like 28 Days Later just makes more sense to me, lol.

Only half is true this time. 😛

I'm just going by George Romero zombie science 🙂. Think it was Day of the Dead when they were doing experiments on the zombies and figured out they didn't get anything from eating people they just did it.


They would freeze because they have no way of regulating their body temps. They should also rot and fall apart eventually but zombie lol.

So tonight I was the most surprised while watching the Talking Dead and Andrew Lincoln (Rick) was interviewed. The first sentence out of his mouth made me realize...he's British.

yep, a lot of us popping up in yank tv shows. very weird. house, stringer bell and mcnulty off the wire.

come to think of it - aren't superman, batman and spiderman brits? let alone magneto and prof X?

you've basically outsourced some roles to the UK. very weird

lol really? My minor turn off was that everyone in the show was so god damn redneck.

Refreshing to see Rick is actually a brit.

Christian Bale (Batman) is British, but the guys playing the new Superman and Spiderman are Americans. Magneto and Professor X are, but they talk with their regular accents.

True Blood has some guys doing american accents though. The guy that plays Bill is British, and the guy that plays redneck Jason is Australian.

Well because the zombies are not alive, and have no body heat. Their joints/ liagments and so on can freeze in place so they can no longer walk/move. They would be 'alive' still, just need thawed out.

A) They are deteriorating over time because their bodies are dead. Corrosion is hitting them, as the body is not replicating cells. This would definitely mean, zombies outside in wind, rain, and hot sun would be worse off than ones on the inside would be mroe perserved.

B) They don't "need" to eat. They just do. If they were not to eat for years they would be fine. But they just go on an automatic mode in which they will eat/consume anything living, because the brain is only doing some very simple actions in the body.

C) The rabies strain from 28days is not a zombie, as the people are still alive. Not dead corpses walking around. They could actually (if applicable) could minimally think and make traps or even speak simple words. Zombies normally can't as that part of the brain doesn't register for activation with a zombie virus.

 

[LookBehindYou]

Heh, anyone else laugh when the inmates went "prison riot" on the zombies while the others stood back and watched with a "wtf?" look on their faces.

Yes. I also sat there thinking "wtf?" Rick plainly explained how it should go. The looks on their faces were priceless.

I look at it from the standpoint that the virus compels to the host to repeatedly bite living things to spread itself. Maybe they're not actually eating as much as biting. It just doesn't make sense that they eat people--they would have a narrow window between where they could eat them and the person turned into a zombie.

I guess it's one of those "ehh...just watch the show" deals.

 

[God Mode]

Now that no one has problems with killing zombies (its almost as if they're killing small rodents and pests), I fear that this show might become a drama with character development and exploration. Meh.

 

[OutHouse]

Where are all the nude and partly nude zombies?

 

[trmiv]

Well we did get a zombie underwear crotch shot last night, so things are looking up.

I think about this too. However I think this is why we see all zombie humans and very rarly zombie animals. Because the virus is only passed onto the strong as its hosts. So it does plan on eating all living things. However the weak (animals) get eaten up because they can't get away once caught. Humans because we have logic and a process of thinking, after being biten a few times can get away and or kill our attacking after an infection.

Some of the deadlier animals like elephants, Hippos, Lions and such, I bet would survive a zombie attack if it were just a few, however I have yet to watch a zombie film in an African setting. So this is just an assumption and thus has not been observed.
