I wish they would kill coral, I hate that kid. Asian guy or his GF can go too... somehow lately it seems like things have been going too well for everyone.

HBO killed off some beloved characters in Board Walk Empire... I don't think a large following will drastically change the story line so much that they won't kill off someone.

The point in question is something I've brought up maybe ONCE when the character was introduced, and that was because it was shoehorned in an made zero sense. I might have given similar opinions on the matte regarding ME2, because that also had terrible writing for that character's part and it was offensive as a decent person that one could not be supportive of a crew member in a painful emotional state without it being sexual. You are either a dick to him or you try to fuck him. There is no grey area, which is my biggest complaint about BioWare in the last 10+ years.

I wasn't specifically talking about you, I'm talking about the Walking Dead season threads in general, it's always full of people who keep complaining that the show has sucked since season 2 or whatever, and yet they keep watching it.

Because it's popular... They know a lot of people enjoy it, so they feel that they must sh*t on it.

I second this. With the state of the ocean ecosystem, anyone advocating killing off coral is a bad person in my book!
No, Carl (lol @ "coral" since that is how it actually sounds coming from Rick) can fall into a pit of dicks mouth first. Maggie is untouchable (except by me).

:hmm: Man, ATOT can suck the fun out of anything.

I loved the season premier and think the series is as good as ever.

At some point Rick is going to have to run into the guy he shot that was running the cannibal cabal. He did say he was going to use the machete with the red handle to kill him.

lol@the scene where Carol fires the bottle rocket perfectly to ignite the explosion. It still wasnt near as lame as the scene last season where the scientist and others in the car burst into the tunnel to miraculously save the day last season

Why was there even gas in the tank. would think that it had all been used up by this point.

Good point. Wiki says that 511 days have passed.
Kill Carl or replace the actor. He looks way too old now.

They gotta keep spray bottles of freshish walker blood on hand and give themselves a nice spritz. Wear an entire layer of cellophane for your body between your clothes. Spray the shit outta you and hang some hands and feet and shit off your clothes. when they get where they need to go peel the cellophane off your relatively clean if you can get near water. At least its not infections blood like ZOMGEBOLA

Little ass kicker looks older too now. I totally thought the guy in the shed was going to feed the baby to the zombies in order to get away. Now that would have been a hell of an ending.

Babies seem like the perfect tool for a zombie escape. You put them in a place zombies can't easily get to, give 'em a pinch to make them cry, and run in the other direction.

No way the dude in the shed is dead and he'll definitely reappear.

If nobody is using it, is isn't that far fetched for pressurized tanks to keep propane (or whatever that was supposed to be).
It's the fucking apocalypse. Everyone is using everything and there is no resupply.

I dont think that guy in the cabin or the head if terminus (garreth?) are dead. Two altercations upcoming.

Also, embarassed when a newbie to the show asked me Sunday, "can the zombies walk up stairs?"

derpface.jpg.

I cant remember if the show ever dealt with that? Did they show it in the roof episode in season 1? Or do they just drag themselves up?

Also has the series creator ever said whether they can cross major water bodies?
