Early in the series, the writers weren’t quite sure what level of ability they wanted the walkers to have. In a slightly later first season episode, Rick, etc. are trapped in an Atlanta department store, and a walker throws a rock through the glass to get at them. That wouldn’t happen now.
TWD ping!
The dumbing down of Zombieland..... Come to think of it
the Democrats used to be slightly smarter before turning
hard left. That is why I refer to the zombies on the
TV program as ‘Walking Deadocrats’.
