My husband and I enjoyed the WD but now we're kinda’ bored with it. It's a huge money maker for AMC so they'll keep stringing us along forever. But come on - those zombies have to be dying of natural causes somewhere, somehow. I mean, even zombies need energy and calories, right? And there just aren't enough humans around to keep them fed. And how long can Rick and the gang keep going to town for supplies? Seems to me that the supplies would be running low on abandoned grocery store shelves by now.

You have to suspend rationale watching the show. Everyone's saying those zombies would have disintegrated into biomass by now and would at least be falling apart from the weather, same as leaving a dead ham sandwich out in a rainforest for a year. Yet, zombies are somehow still shambling around wearing eyeglasses and hats. How likely is that, really?

The other things you have to forget is why they're still walking through zombie-filled forests like idiots with no apparent map or compass, and when they do find an abandoned vehicle they choose old school buses or a pathetic 'cash-for-klunkers' Hyundai Elantra egg-wagon shitbox to drive around in until the tank runs dry when in Season 1 and 2 they're passing up abandoned National Guard HMMWVs that run on diesel and Stryker AFV 8x8s that have 25mm Bushmaster autocannons and are absolutely impervious to zombies and the human cannibals. Just ridiculous. First indication to the 'The Hunters' cannibals at Terminus to make our presence known would have been us outside their gate in an M1A1 Abrams telling them we'll drop a few FGM-148 Javelin missiles on their asses if they don't come out with their hands up.

Rick and his crew could already have a whole column of LAV-25s/Strykers and HEMTT fuelers carrying enormous amounts of diesel fuel by now, yet Rick keeps aimlessly leading his band through the woods without a map. Just walking down the railroad line like hobos who missed sneaking aboard a boxcar on the Old '97... Maybe one day they'll end up in Memphis or St. Joe -- wherever the four winds blow.

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.

Seems to me that the supplies would be running low on abandoned grocery store shelves by now.

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.........

I agree with it getting kind of boring. I’d like to see them get out of Georgia pretty soon. Maybe they are, can’t really tell because they stay in the woods so much. It seems like the only story line they can come up with is to have the group separated, spend a bunch of time trying to find all the group members, run into non-zombie evil people, kill zombies and non-zombie evil people. They should go to Amish country. Non-zombied Amish folks would at least be more friendly than the people they’ve run into so far. Just think how awesome an Amish zombie would look.

You can’t figure out by now that you must suspend disbelief?? I love TWD, but doesn’t it remind you of that commercial with the young people deciding whether to hide in the attic or the basement of an old dark house, and not choosing the running car, and then hiding behind the chain saws????
I’d be heading north, or to Wyoming at least. Not many zombies there, I betcha!!!!
