You don't need to be a fan of the show the get it :-)
Walking Dead ping
Lets see...
More bad gun special effects
More 50 round capacity revolvers
Rick will have a crisis of leadership
Someone in the ‘family’ will die
The group will wander aimlessly
Ricks son will be even more annoying
Don’t worry, I think it’s always a “surprise guest” or something if the person just got offed. ;)
They’d have to rot sometime, especially since the human gut bacteria would be carried around by all of them to start the job.
Let’s assume something about the disease helps preserve tissue - it still isn’t permanent, so the zombie rots slower. You see that even in the show today, with more splatter and soft goo in the dead killed now.
So anyone holed up on an oil rig or cargo ship or similar place zombies can’t reach only has to wait a year or two in the show’s plotline for most zombies to rot away, while in the real world it would be a matter of weeks.
There’s an article on management lessons from the Walking Dead.
Rick can’t make a decision and won’t make one until the last moment, from “give Michonne over to the governor, no, don’t, yes, maybe” to “what do we do with the injured kid, take him to the farm, let him go”. He only makes permanent, often vicious decisions when there is no choice, like the machete usage.
Rick also waffles between democracy and dictatorship. He makes the group make a decision in some cases, then makes unilateral ones in others like kicking Carol out. Leave Meryl up on a roof, then lose Carol’s prepper husband trying to save a guy you left for dead.
For a zombie apocalypse, they have poor planning. They scavenge only for a few things at a time, like retrieving a crib or getting some baby formula. They need to scavenge hard and fast for certain supplies to stock up for winter, if at the prison. They needed to turn farm implements into weapons or make more like spears and maces, but didn’t. They don’t do much to reinforce perimeters at the prison or farm.
They fail to even make get out of dodge bags with foods, weapons and supplies, despite being forced to flee refuge after refuge.
They complain about not being able to find supplies, but refuse to go back to the prison to recover working vehicles and supplies from the Governor’s invasion. Or crops from the prison.
And for all the concern about Judith and Carl, they don’t have tight chains of custody for the children. There wasn’t a strict, “who is making sure the kid doesn’t get eaten?” chain. Carl was handed off by his mother Lori again and again and left to wander. This is regularly called out online. The more neglected point was “What about Judith?” When you’re prepping to evacuate the prison, two little girls were carrying around the baby. Children should not be responsible for the safe delivery of another child - there should have been an adult doing it. The girls lived a while longer and Judith to this point in the series ONLY because of an accidental rescue by Tyrese.
Walking Dead ping! Please let me know if you'd like on or off The Walking Dead ping list.
Thanks for the ping, virgil283!
LOL!
LOL!
Didn’t mean to double-post. This computer is driving me nuts.
Zombies don't need groceries........
With that being said, most of the people are dead with the exception of the small enclaves of survivors they've met along the way.....the Governor's town and lastly Terminus.
So it's not unreasonable to expect the small towns they encounter to have needed food supplies and other stuff such as the new cross bow Michonne found for Darryl two seasons ago in Morgan's town.........
LOL!!!
I think that has already been resolved with the latest evolution (devolution) of Rick during the massacre in the church....
Glenn and Maggie did nothing but watch in horror at what went down. I think that's what drove them to leave the group and join Abraham on the bus to Washington..........
From where? And what good would that do the story line?
Glad you're not doing the writing.....LOL!
That’s nothing. We will see alot of Dead People at tue voting booth come November 4. =]
You were only doing your job.
Nice graphic.
Is The Walking Dead a TV show of some sort?
I heard Rick remarries then wakes up hearing the shower running and opens the door to see his original wife taking a shower...
