fear, chaos, anarchy, total break-down of society, everyone turns when they die

^^Well it's not really that they took over because it started from one bite. People are dying every second of the day, hospitals/hospice/retirement centers would be breeding grounds for zombie creations. People would be killing each other and creating zombies, etc. I'm not sure it would end up like the Walking Dead universe, but at the same time, it's not farfetched that entire towns/cities could be overrun.

Plus there are a lot of dumb people out there. I imagine a lot of people would be weak and wouldn't be able to take out family/friends/lovers when they needed to.

^^^Ignorance of the populace along with government trying to contain and cover things up. Fresh walkers may have been slightly more potent as well.

Also, considering there is now a council for major decisions, people are going to be pissed that Rick took the action of banishing Carol by himself.

i think the biggest thing will be the Council being pissed at Rick. the Council was formed for a reason and to make such a big decision like this without the rest of their input will prove to be bad for Rick.

11/4/2013 10:37:50 AM

carol's on the council and she didn't get their input (that we know of) before killing the two people

11/4/2013 10:39:25 AM

Is there a chance that Rick will just tell them that Carol got killed?

What about Carol falling in with the Governor.

11/4/2013 10:51:50 AM

He's gonna have to tell them that Carol killed those people, for closure (especially for Tyrese)

11/4/2013 10:59:04 AM

yeah, that's why rick was in coma, so they don't have to explain that

11/4/2013 11:21:20 AM

So wait... Did Carol get Rick Rolled out of the prison?

11/4/2013 11:23:18 AM

she told the little girl she was never gonna give her up, never gonna let her down

11/4/2013 11:37:17 AM

The Walking Dead = Lost 2.

These episodes are doing nothing to advance the story. Its all about making you watch another episode, nothing is happening NOTHING.

11/4/2013 7:23:03 PM

Carol getting voted off the island was something (and I'm on the record in this thread for not liking this show).

IF YOU TAKE ONE SIP FOR THOSE MEXICAN PEOPLE I WILL BEAT YOUR ASS INTO THE GROUND


so i think my hearing of that line was wrong in the bold/underlined part, can anyone correct me?

The closed captioning said "When those meds get in our people".

11/4/2013 9:59:33 PM

i heard it as "(be)fore those meds get to our people"

so yeah, not about mexicans

11/4/2013 10:01:20 PM

^makes sense, thanks.

11/4/2013 10:45:40 PM

Almost all of Darryl's dialog was hard for me to understand. I think I might need a new center channel…

11/4/2013 11:36:31 PM

I'm treating this show like reality tv -- I have it on in the background while doing stuff around the house.

Didn't seem like anything interesting happened. Who the hell cares about the sheriffs internal emotional struggles? Or The Wire guys' struggles? Or Carl? Or grandma? Or the red shirts?

Actually, I'm not even sure what the point of the show is. They aren't going anywhere. We aren't finding out shit about the zombie illness. There aren't any interesting villains.

[Edited on November 5, 2013 at 1:21 AM. Reason : .]

11/5/2013 1:20:57 AM

this show isint exciting to me anymore.

11/5/2013 4:41:40 AM

If they aren't out of that prison, finding out about the zombies, killing the governor before this season ends I'm done watching. I'll just wait for it to be cancelled and sold to netflix.

11/5/2013 5:42:20 AM

this season is just like last....start out strong then fizzle after a few episodes. they HAVE to leave that prison

11/5/2013 6:38:17 AM

I imagine something's going to happen with that enormous horde that made them leave the black charger(?) behind. If that number showed up at the prison, those chain link fences wouldn't stand a chance.

11/5/2013 7:25:36 AM

T-Dog is doing an AMA on reddit later today.

get this, his real name is IronE.

11/5/2013 7:43:39 AM

^^I've got a feeling that might be how they are forced out of the prison, which is kind of lame considering that's almost exactly how they were forced off the farm, but maybe they'll just have to leave to escape the disease

11/5/2013 8:00:54 AM

I just don't understand what the problem was with killing those people. She could've just said they had turned and she took care of them so Tyrese didn't have to see them that way.

11/5/2013 8:30:43 AM

Rick expressed the problem pretty succinctly.

"They were going to die." --> You didn't know that.

"You killed someone." --> Who was a clear and present danger.

As a matter of Carol's survival, saying they had turned would have made more sense, but it doesn't fit her character arc. She's become the sort of person who isn't apologetic about teaching kids to use deadly weapons in secret or preemptively murdering people with a highly contagious illness.

11/5/2013 9:34:11 AM

My whole thing with these huge hordes of zombies is why isn't mother nature taking them out? These zombies would be easy pickings for a wide variety of predators. Fuck even birds could go to town on them.

11/5/2013 11:08:13 AM

wolf attacks zombie, rest of horde eats wolf.

11/5/2013 11:36:52 AM

I know TWD and Max Brooks's zombie interpretations are fairly different, but I think TWD's zombie interpretations is closer to that of Max Brooks's zombie interpretations than any other that comes to mind. With that said, Max Brooks addresses how why animals, or even insects and bacteria do not destroy zombies. I think it has to do with how consuming zombie meat is poisonous, and it can turn a human into a zombie and outright kill any animal, insect or microbe. The result of this is everything would learn to avoid consuming zombie meat. So, how do zombies die off naturally? Well, according to Brooks, their bodies can never heal, so as they exert themselves, bones break and muscles tear, eventually breaking them down to immobile broken lumps of zombie. This is also why freshly turned zombies are slightly more dangerous, since they still have their bones and muscles still in tact, which makes them tough in hand to hand combat due to their over exertion of strength with no regard to muscle tear.

I kind of went off on a tangent, but I just wanted to try and explain why animals have not decimated zombies

the zombies are rotting flesh, many animals have instincts to tell them not to eat such things

11/5/2013 11:42:14 AM

Yea, but I figured he meant animals like vultures and other scavenger animals.

11/5/2013 12:39:25 PM

The governor and his goons are leading the swarm to the prison

11/5/2013 1:19:04 PM

^^^most predators (not apex) and almost all raptors eat carrion.

^^^^thanks!

11/5/2013 7:23:02 PM

I don't get how this mediocre show gets pages of posts after each episode and a superior show like Sons of Anarchy never gets posts in the thread

11/5/2013 11:32:38 PM

I stopped watching SoA... They got zombie bikers now?

11/6/2013 7:51:04 AM

I watched 2 episodes of SOA as I was convinced I would love it. I found Jax's character to be over the top enough that it bothered me. Does that change?

Concerning the council being mad a Rick for dropping Carol: In the previews for next week there's a scene where Rick says something along these lines to Hershel, "After this is over, things aren't going to be like before"

I am thinking there's a possibility this means he is going to take over again

11/6/2013 9:30:31 AM

Generally people prefer to find out what happens in the next episode when they watch it.....

11/6/2013 2:16:40 PM

So I should put spoiler alert if I'm going to mention something from the coming attractions? My bad, I did not realize

11/6/2013 2:40:19 PM

Talking about the trailers/commercials is usually cool.

11/6/2013 3:32:18 PM

yeah, i think previews are fair game

11/6/2013 3:44:26 PM

lol, rwoody is just being a baby.... we all saw the previews

sometimes I think they are showing you misleading clips so that you have no idea what will happen

11/6/2013 4:44:28 PM

I was being facetious, plenty of people have talked about the previews in this thread. And I do think they try and mislead you sometimes...they certainly do in Survivor (not that this is Survivor)

Also they play the previews like a half a second after the show ends...you've gotta be pretty quick with the remote if you don't want to see them

11/6/2013 5:09:14 PM

as anal as I am about spoilers sometimes, trailers/previews never bother me.

11/6/2013 7:21:50 PM

Trailers/preview aren't spoilers

11/6/2013 8:34:45 PM

agreed.

11/6/2013 8:35:48 PM

^^ eh, depends on the show. The Walking Dead previews are pretty decent. "On the next episode" previews for Dexter were absolutely horrible though. They always ruined the cliff hanger from the episode that just ended, or gave away what would happen after a 30 minute buildup in the next episode.

This is a random line from a preview with very little context. It'd be a real stretch to call it a spoiler.

Plus, the line quoted here is misquoted. The interpretation/prediction based on it doesn't make sense with the actual line and it's delivery.

11/6/2013 10:00:25 PM

I was going off of memory...what was the actual line?

11/6/2013 11:49:16 PM

the actual line was

But what will Deb do if my dark passenger leaves

11/7/2013 12:36:34 AM

^^ it was a question posed to Hershel.

You were really close, just missed the last couple of words which completely changes it.

"When we get passed this thing (insert Rick pause) it's not gonna be like how it was, is it?"
