How Long ?this site says 514 days

After 3 years (story time?) this group is still walking around on foot is too much.

I used to have a similar complaint about LOST (I watched through about 2 seasons, and dropped it as the premise got sillier -- a polar bear? if one was good, 2 would even be better -- NOT). Anyway, I thought they should at least have explored the place.

How did they know they were on an island? Maybe there was a thriving city and a 7-11 with a working phone on the opposite shoreline.

Week after week all the alpha males did was fight amongst themselves to see who would be leader. They didn't send anyone to explore until well into season 2.

Then someone said that 'their' timeline had been only a few days.

What causes the zombie uprising in The Walking Dead?

The cause of the outbreak is not known

[TomGuy]

baby Judith doesn’t appear to be walking yet

Most series that incorporate a birth find out it is alien. The baby grows fast and attains adulthood in just a few episodes.

That cuts down on the diaper changes.

LOL

[ConjunctionJunction]

It worked for falling skies! LOL!

[TomGuy]

Interesting timeline.

Reminds me of the Jack Bauer kills website.

It is amazing what really loyal fans will do.

"I think they will start heading for a particular community as named in the comics "

Good I hope so...gee I'M so exercised over a tv show!

[Thorliveshere]

Alexandria storyline should hit really soon. My impression it’ll be the back half of this season.

[wildbill]

I agree. If I was in the group I’d vote to regroup and take back Woodbury first or the prison. Easily defended and set up nicely for the future.

Tyresse will die. He hasn’t been in any of the promos

"I used to have a similar complaint about LOST

Yeah...that made me laugh because there was a similar show about a world colapse but the people there hung around drining beer and I complained that they never went out to see what was out there...

Walking Dead timeline. It’s been a busy past tow weeks

[tbw2]

You have a baby, but no solid shelter, cache of supplies or safe water.
It is irresponsible to stay on the road when you can carve out something safer to give everyone better odds of survival.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Ever see 28 Days Later? It’s roughly 30 days into a virus outbreak, and this small group of British Army guys totally lose it. They think the entire world has come to an end, but it’s really just Great Britain (at this point).

[tbw2]

They could/should go back to the place where the black guy in “Clear” had holed up. His bait traps plus perimeter ensured that walkers didn’t get in and mostly were found in the morning where he could clean up. Add in the cache of guns and supplies, and they could live a few months there.
Woodbury had supplies, retrieving them should have been a priority. Or going back to the prison, sheltering people inside the remaining vehicles even if not running. Then have someone go in Carol style in clothes covered in walker guts and retrieve supplies and personal possessions they had.
Get bikes to travel faster with less effort and be able to pull loads. And it is quieter than on foot.

[ConjunctionJunction]

A very busy 2 weeks!

I'm so glad TWD is back!

Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.

[tbw2]

Gardens, wall, medical lab. All you have to do at this point is wait for most of the walkers to rot to be relatively safe out.
And they should do a lot more “cover in goo”, sneak out for supplies than walk out guns blazing.

[Vermont Lt]

It’s a prequel.

Good if they walk past another up-armored Humvee I'm gonna kick the cat...
