missed that the Walker's heads are seemingly made of paper mache (you can easily pierce them with a thrust of a sword)

IT'S NOT EXACTLY LIKE THE COMICS WHICH MEANS I CAN'T SMUGLY DROP HINTS THAT I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I don't know and don't care if they are connected, but Chive just copied a Buzzfeed list.  And we already discussed flashlight silencers.

How else could Andrea have survived so long?

34. The fans

Ok. here is the break down of what the walking dead SHOULD be.

First. The cast is way too big. There should be only about four main characters. But they need to represent different types of people. Say 1 could be an older war vet. Maybe a Merle Dixon type biker. A black office worker reminiscent of the main character from the night of the living dead, and a female of course. Make her a college student


Second the plot goes all over the place. Keep it simple. Say at the start of the season they overhear a radio broadcast about a helicopter picking up survivors at a hospital. Then break down the season as they try to get to that location. At the end of each episode they could find a safe house and restock up on supplies.


Too many conversations about nothing. It's a show about zombies so lets make the action and the actors bout doing just that. No more speeches about morality. More Bruce Campbell type "that HAD to hurt!" lines when they take down a zombie. Short quotable dialog. "Oh yeah!" after a kill, "I got your back!" after they save a character. Stuff like that.


Enough of knives to the face. More head shots. I realize that ammo is supposed to be in short supply, but they should come up with a way where say previous survivors left stashes of ammo along the route the cast takes. Maybe a few melee weapon at those locations too.


Remember that .50 cal left in the compound? I bet in a real situation those things would be all over the place. How about some scenes where they get behind one of those and take down a heard. Would have made the farm finally so much better.


DIFFERENT TYPES OF ZOMBIES PLEASE! Fast ones, big ones that are hard to kill, one that explode puss, etc..


Maybe make it so at the end of the season their plan doesn't work out and the don't get picked up and the helicopter leaves them left for dead. Then next season have them try to get to a port where a ship is waiting. Something like that.


These are the things us "complainers" AKA: real zombie fans want. You take your human emotion, interaction and drama with the backdrop of a world with the living dead, and we'll take ACTION!

I was with you up to here. Everything else is a great suggestion. Although maybe a female college student isn't a good female role. How about a mother or young adult? Someone who can actually do something.

Yeesh.  It's called suspension of disbelief.  If you don't like it, don't watch it.

I even said the name of the game....

log_jammin: I even said the name of the game....

Oh snap.

This is what you get when you don't play FPS, doglover. You get pwned.

WillofJ2: My biggest problems with the show is as easy as it is to poke through their heads, why where there any alive at the prison, seems like pole through head through fence, repeat and eventually there would be no walkers in their area, no more danger no wasted bullets.

They're a natural barrier against people like the governor.

Ann Coulter's Diiick: slayer199: Yeesh.  It's called suspension of disbelief.  If you don't like it, don't watch it.

suspension of disbelief is not the issue. shiatty writing is the issue. Star Wars had light sabers, space travel, the force, and paid it off with thematic writing, plot, and character.

go watch Star Wars, Sheldon.

4NSpy: gittlebass: 4NSpy: I suspend disbelief  with the best of them, but the poor writing of Andrea and Milton's scene was too much. That got dragged on for far too long, with her taking way too many pauses with her life on the line.

andreas death would have been better if she had no pliers to even have a chance

Yeah but how do you fit 4 commercial breaks in that scenario?

First scene, the zombie starts to eat her.

Second scene, she's screaming and being eaten.

Third scene, she's trying to scream but her injuries are preventing it and she dies.

Fourth scene, Rick kicks in the door and shoots her without even noticing who she is.

Yeah I've got to agree.  I've only watched the first season so far, and the number of aircraft-hangar-sized plot holes that I've come across is just bewildering.  It's not that it's a terrible show, it's just that the writers didn't really think things through very well.

Back in the "Life on the Magic Farm" season Glenn and Maggie went to get supplies at the pharmacy in the little abandoned town.

I don't have a problem with the abundance of tiny abandoned Andy Griffith villages. I don't have a problem with such an infestation that there were two (maybe three) in a tiny abandoned pharmacy. I don't have a problem with a zombie deciding to use his arms to grab Maggie through the bare shelves instead of just ramming his head through and biting her defenseless back. I don't have a problem with her terrified shrieks not luring every zombie in the area.

But, what kicked me right out of the Suspension of Disbelief is that there was STILL A PACKAGE OF TOILET PAPER ON THE SHELVES OF THE PHARMACY.

Mr. Coffee Nerves: But, what kicked me right out of the Suspension of Disbelief is that there was STILL A PACKAGE OF TOILET PAPER ON THE SHELVES OF THE PHARMACY.

Toilet paper isn't a priority. MREs come with it.

Happy Hours: doglover: Mr. Coffee Nerves: But, what kicked me right out of the Suspension of Disbelief is that there was STILL A PACKAGE OF TOILET PAPER ON THE SHELVES OF THE PHARMACY.

Toilet paper isn't a priority. MREs come with it.

And where do you get MREs?

At the rescue centers you'd be fleeing to.

Remember season 1?

I will be curious to see how they now feed and water all the new residents of C Block Retirement Home and Day Care.

I gave up at the second-to-last episode of the first season. Things just got too stupid for me. I liked some of the episodes, especially the (first?) one about the old folks home, but I just lost interest.

CujoQuarrel: And shouldn't the zombies be completely gone by now? Where are they getting their energy from? Are they eating the other zombies?

Zombies are magic.

CujoQuarrel: I don't watch the series (turned it off in disgust during the first episode since they people were too stupid to live)

But

How do you run low on Ammo? In the south?

Even in now with ammo running low because of horders there is still more than enough for the reduced number of people that would be using guns. Have you ever been in a southern gun store?

And shouldn't the zombies be completely gone by now? Where are they getting their energy from? Are they eating the other zombies?

That was explained in the show.

Ed Grubermann: Zombies are magic.

The Walking Dead: Zombies are Magic

The show has jumped the zombie shark, but I think the one thing it gets right is that the living would NOT band together in any spirit of cooperation.
