The Walking Dead ping for tomorrow night’s episode discussion thread.

Please let me know if you would like on or off The Walking Dead ping list.

Has John McCaine now qualified as a “Walker”?

[Patriot Babe]

Sigh........ Thank you. Can’t wait. Approx. 12 hours to go here can’t wait to see Rick confront the Governor. Wow even Hershel went with Rick and Darryl from what I saw in the promo episode.

ROFL! Don’t insult the Walkers that way! ;)

"With just four more episodes left in The Walking Dead: Season 3, IGN has some exclusive photos for you from Sunday's new episode, "Arrow on the Doorstep." It seems nothing can stop the confrontation between those led by Rick Grimes and those led by the Governor, and "Arrow on the Doorstep" finds Rick, Daryl and Hershel venturing out of the prison on a high stakes mission that could change the course of this conflict. We'll have to wait until Sunday night at 9pm on AMC to find out how that mission goes, but in the meantime, check out these new images of Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon from the episode - who you can see don't appear to be in a familiar area..."

I have a question. Having seen only two episodes, I don’t know much about the series. How does Daryl use the crossbow? Its a good SHTF weapon, but it doesn’t seem like a good zombie weapon, because it would have to go through the skull.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Nice find! Thanks!

[Patriot Babe]

I probably would say YES since we all know moonbats have no brains. They just roam around moaning “Give Me”. Since McCain is a Rhino well yes indeed. Along with ODumbo, Piglosi, and other.

P.S. No offense to real zombies =) I bet not even a real zombie would want to be linked with those greedy scumbags.

[ConjunctionJunction]

In the show it seems to go through skulls pretty easily. Probably not that true to real life, but it looks cool! The main thing is that it’s a quiet weapon, and these zombies (Walkers) are attracted to sounds/noise.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Good stuff!

[HawkHogan]

In the zombie apocalypse, isn’t everything deteriorating, so it would be easier for an arrow to go through a skull, correct?

[hometoroost]

If they make a “Doddering Dead” he’ll be in it.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

More like the “dithering dead.”

It seems like a good weapon to have, because guns have limited ammo, and these bolts can be reused. but when I think about shooting a zombie in the head, then going back and retrieving the bolt, without contracting zombie-ness, which is usually portrayed as communicable through fluids, I think I would just leave the bolt where it is and make more.

Actually, it is a good weapon for that. The zombie is caused by a parasite/virus that has infected the brain of the dead. The only way to re-kill them is with a severe head wound -- bullet, arrow, knife/ax/sword, etc.

An arrow from a crossbow can penetrate deep.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Yep!

[hometoroost]

He’s anything but indecisive. He’s actively working against the long-term interest of this country.
