I would lead them into buildings, and then burn the buildings down.

I would then refer you to the episode of the Governor's burning pit........

As for leading "them", who are you refering to? The few thousand hoarde in the nearby city? Good luck with that..........

Lots of other islands that can be accessed from Beaver Island too.

Anyway, one more mistake the survivors are making is not experimenting with zombies.

They need to know how to bait them into traps, and how to build quick, effective traps. I'd lure them into abandoned houses and burn the house down, but I would need to know how to get them into the house, and then trap them there so they would be burned up in the fire.

And for real science, I'd start working on a steam engine. They need electricity, and knowing how to build a steam engine is better than surviving on existing generators until they fall apart. The prison is right next to a rail line, as they first saw the prison walking down the tracks. If they got a working steam rail engine, they could settle areas up and down the line, build farms and towns, and rebuild civilization.

Old Jarhead here, understood.

It’s Walking Dead. It doesn’t have to make any sense- it just has to get you to keep tuning in every week to see what happens next- LOL!

I remember one first-season scene where Shane comes out of Rick’s hospital room. He looks one way down the hall- there’s a crowd of shambling zombies. He looks the other way, and there are soldiers/Feds/whoever machine-gunning a crowd of apparently uninfected patients. I remember thinking “Is this Walking Dead, or an ad for Obamacare”?

Hell, use your imagination. They’re mindless zombies, they’ll walk off a cliff if you encourage them enough.

In every city, there are places where you could rig up a trapdoor setup, like off a bridge or overpass, where you could bait zombies to "walk the plank" off a ledge where they would be killed, or their legs broken by the fall. Would a zombie figure out that every other zombie is falling to their doom? Or would they just keep trying for the bait and go off the cliff like herd of lemmings?

First of all, they're already dead so falling off a bridge wouldn't kill them again. And if their legs weren't broken, they would just get up and keep on truckin'.

And just how exactly would that perpetuate the continuation of this series, assuming of course that your idea had even an iota of being successful?

Disarming his son and cutting Carol loose are indicative of a liberal disordered mind. But hey we all make mistakes.

Well, the actor is British. Probably the first real weapon he’s held.

Heh. Andrew Lincon used to be on a Showtime series that makes a .357 look like a paper umbrella in a girl drink ;)

For me, the hardest thing about a zombie apocalypse would be suppressing my enthusiasm.

Remember when things actually happened on this show?

Now its like Seinfeld, a show about nothing. The commercials, flashbacks, post show wrap-up previews, and post show wrap-up, are longer than the show itself. Hey lets poke a zombie on the fenceline and show a ninja black woman cutting yet another head off. Yawn. Maybe we can show a redneck on a motorcycle use a crossbow and a sweaty tired looking former sheriff squint some more while an old dude talks all wise. Oops forgot another sex scene with the brunette and the asian dude.

Show absolutely dragging............

You need to keep the perimeter cleared in case of attack. They need lots of goats to do this. In fact anytime there is a drought I would set fire to the woods.

Ok, you bunch of unready-for-the-zombie-apocalypse FReepers. Here is how you do it.

Find the nearest quarry, pit, big hole in the ground with a steep cliff. Blast music, horns, bells, whatever in the center of Dante’s Inferno.

It is called a honey pot.

The zombies will come from miles around. Make sure you have enough burning liquid, kerosene, gas, oil, whatever.

And let’s have a bonfire, baby.

Then make me your new governor! Got it. Bou-yah

“big hole in the ground with a steep cliff”

If you are near the Grand Canyon, it would take awhile to fill up.

Regarding activity with the governor, Andrea was the epitome of a liberal idealist. She thought she could compromise with the governor in exchange for saving “everyone” It represents the false premise that the United States must be held to universal norms imposed by dictatorial powers (i.e. the UN). You can’t compromise with evil which is what we have learned especially with Chamberlain and World War II. In the end, Andrea’s attempts at compromise proved to be her ultimate undoing.

My guess is that Tyrees will spend the next many shows going out looking for Caroll, to get revenge. Will Machone or Darrell go with him? And who was on the radio? I bet Caroll finds the radio guy and returns to the prison with him.

I am thinking a steam roller circling the prison would be the ideal defense/ offense. Squish!
