3 pages of posts about shooting accuracy and silencers, and only one person responded to my comment about how long it took them to figure out how to defeat a zombie in a helmet with a plastic mask.

that was kind of stupid how it took them forever to figure that out..whats so hard to comprehend that they have riot masks on then after maggie gets the kill they look at her like and then theyre all

The arrow off the riot mask made me chuckle. It just came in so slow. *clunk*

Big booming chuckle, or more of a quiet, to yourself chuckle with a little head shake?

That ruled. Glove slime ruled too. T Dawg didn't give a ish though, he just geared up.

 

[packersfan]

I didn't find it ludicrous. I thought it was an example of what a strong unit they've become. At the end of last season, they were broken and on the verge of splitting apart internally. In the months since the RickTatorship began, it's clear they've forged a stronger bond. The way they cleaned out the prison yard was an example of that. Like I posted before, in this world you either adapt or die. This group has adapted. They've become efficient killing machines with Rick as their leader.

By the way, this was really evident when they cut the old man's leg off. No debate, no hesitation, no waxing poetic about the demise of humanity. Just brutal, clear-headed efficiency. In some ways, they've become what Dale feared. And, for now at least, they seem to be the better for it.

I think it says a lot about who Rick is now too. There was no deliberation, no putting it up to a vote. No asking Maggie if she was OK with her father's leg being chopped off. He made his decision and he acted. That's the RickTatorship at work.

 

[packersfan]

Yeah awful thread, awesome, awesome season opener. There were tons of little things they did great: The no dialogue and the clearing the house as a unit. Maggie taking a risk to grab the axe when they were fleeing, nice simple touch there. The very right decision to flee as soon as you see a group of walkers which is connected with the conversations on the road about the "herds" forcing them to chose their path. I think this also plays into their tactics when clearing the prison yard. You have no way of knowing how many walkers are in the inner gates, we've already seen large groups break down fences by sheer weight of numbers. You get in there and close the second gate quick and take out the rest in the yard as quickly as possible. They mentioned herds of hundreds roaming the wild, the survivors have gotten very cautious and are trying their best to not get overwhelmed like they were on the farm. They made a concerted effort to yell at Maggie & T-Dog (when he went for the riot shield) to stay with the group with their backs to each other when clearing the 2nd yard. All it takes is one bite and you lose one of your few remaining people. Just like when they were trying to clear the inner cell blocks, you seperate, you die.Think most of the criticisms are some extreme nitpicking. While watching the episode I assumed the silencers were makeshift, wouldn't be that difficult to fashion one. I think a lot of people just don't pay that much attention sometimes or just don't like connecting some of the dots. They made a concerted effort to say "Carol, you've become a much better shot in the last few months" to pay lip service to why everyone is such a good shot now. Last season we had them all out taking firearms practice with Shane and now they've all had a few weeks to months to practice. Maybe they could have done a better job of showing it, but they did show some shots missing occasionally or zombies being hit in the body instead of the head. You also have Glenn coming in the yard and putting one of the stragglers down who didn't get hit with a headshot, might have been better to have a handful more to be put down to make it seem a little more realistic. Oh yeah, why does Darryl not run out of arrows? Because we were shown scenes last year of him making new ones...Anyway, great episode, can't wait for the next.

and I like how the producers are playing it out.. There were a couple of times he seemed to stop and question his decisions.. Having him question himself at times is better then a quick 180 degree change.

 

[roadkill1292]

They could sure use Shane's combat skills at this point, well, all along, I suppose. But, alas, it was always pretty clear that survival in the zombie apocalypse would be as much about brains as it would fighting and Shane was far too stupid for his accuracy with firearms to overcome.

They could use an infusion of new characters. In fact, it wouldn't bother me if the whole cast turned over in fairly short order while a constantly revolving set of new people roamed around the country having zombie adventures.

I really like how Rick's character has evolved. All of the things that have happened have markedly changed him. He's a completely different guy then the one we saw in the first episode.

I think that's going to be one of the themes of this season - how far can Rick push this group and himself before things break apart? Especially once the Governor enters the picture.

Between the governor, those in the city he is running and the last scene of the premiere there should be plenty of new characters.

There's only 10 of them and Shane was worth two normal people (or never-miss sharpshooters, as they have all apparently become) with a gun in his hand.But mostly I just wanted to make another sneering comment about Shane's lack of brain power. I never tire of that.

I think the same thing...the reason Rick is finally becoming a leader is because Shane's warnings/words have finally taken hold. Rick isn't hesitating and getting bogged down by democracy...he's just leading. Follow him or hit the bricks.He'll come to some point where he'll need to readjust but for now, they need quick, concise leadership.

[FreeBaGeL]

Good episode in general. I doubt they can keep up that break-neck action pace and that's ok. It's nice to have one of those in there every once in a while though.

I wasn't a huge fan of them skipping over the winter. I liked the idea of a group of (mostly) regular joe's caught up in a zombie apocalypse and liked seeing how their (especially Rick's) characters were developing. In skipping the winter we skipped over a lot of that and I would have liked to see them go through the trials and tribulations of becoming the zombie sweeping team they are now.

The nit-picky things didn't really bother me, though I did role my eyes a bit during the courtyard shootout. It's too bad because I actually thought they did this really well in the Sophia barn scene in season 2, where they showed a lot of shots straying and hitting zombies in the arm/body with only about half being headshots. Keep in mind that was also mostly the group's best shooters standing at 10 feet a way, compared to Carol and Carl knocking off handgun headshots from 50 feet last night.

I'm looking forward to seeing them interact with a new group of survivors, and Rick once again being at odds with another leader.

 

[packersfan]

I think I'd lose a lot of interest in the show if Rick was killed off. He's by far my favorite character. I know this is a series about survival and characters are going to die over time but I think Rick is vital to the show. I'm not sure it could work without him. As much as I like Daryl, for example, I don't view him as a lead character. I think he works best because of how he plays off the rest of the group and now being Rick's No. 2. Maggie also can't go because the hotness factor would evaporate without her.

I'm OK if any of the following are killed off, listed in no particular order:

Carol

Lori

Carl

Hershel

Beth

And neither did Lori. I bet Rick never pushed her down in the dirt and took her from behind.

Plenty of reason to dislike his character last year.. but the writers seemed to realize they could only go so long with him being a PIA "kid" ..

If this was last season, when Rick told him to stay behind, he would have started pouting and whining instead of agreeing to stay behind.

Did you guys watch the last kill in the yard? Pretty sure I heard quite a few shots and only one head shot. Pretty sure we know Rick and Daryl are good sharpshooters before this season started. Herschel owned a gun on a farm, probably decent chance he is a good shot as well. We also know Shane was doing shooting training at the farm. Don't you think that, even though everyone complaining seems to ignore that they aren't missing at all (listen to the shots on the last kill), after 3 months of solely killing zombies after the farm that most of them have actually learned how to shoot?This thread sucks now and would you please stop your silly responses about not knowing why people think the thread sucks. Comments like yours above are laughing at the silliness of the show IYO, which isn't discussing the show.I'm kind of glad the show isn't on Dish. I can't keep watching episodes on AMC's web site, so I don't have to keep reading this thread. Not sure why but threads on TV shows with some depth that you can actually discuss haven't been the same with all the thread killers that continue to whine. Well, I guess I know why. Hope you all enjoy the season and I hope the show keeps going on as it has been.

Did you see how many walkers were dropped during that scene? Pretty sure they've established that a head-shot is the only way to "kill" them. If there was only one head-shot why were all of the other walkers going down like sacks? Fear?

True. And that stupid hat needs to go. I think the novelty of wearing my dad's oversized hats went away by the time I was about 7.

Not nearly enough comments about the zombies face peeling off.

Great episode, although I do agree that their tactics are questionable. I'm willing to get over that and enjoy the show.

Something about zombies makes everyone put themselves in the characters position and try to figure out what they should do. It's not just this show either. Everyone loves planning for a zombie apocalypse.

Sooo...zombie fetus. Plausible? If it died before birth, would it become a zombie and start eating it's way out? (Obviously talking about a near term fetus) I doubt they go there with the show, but that thought stuck with me after tonight's episode (I know, pleasant, right?) Thinking like a human version of the Alien "birth" scene.

Or will they go the route that it has antibodies and isn't affected?

 

[stbugs]

It's real to me, dammit!

No, it's enjoyable to me. Is it really hard to understand the concept of enjoying a TV show and not worrying about every little nuance? Where did they get silencers? Oh, they made them. Well, how come they didn't see the prison and just go right there? Oh, the scene panned to the prison and it wasn't actually right in their view? Well, how did they get kill shots on every zombie with no misses? Oh, I didn't realize they missed. This thread was decent before.

 

[netnalp]

What was wrong with luring the zombies to the fences and then killing them? Why rush in?

I was wondering that too. I guess that's not as exciting for TV though.

Glenn's a gamer, he should have played enough MMO's to know about pulling. Then again if my life was on the line would I trust strategies from World of Warcraft and Everquest?

Yes, and Rick shot the last walker and you heard many shots right before. Probably a few misses in there considering everyone stopped shooting once Rick hit the last walker. Also, did you notice that Rick and Herschel both had scopes? Also, did you note some of the non idiots (preggo) resting their guns on the chain links? Don't know about you, but I shot competitively, even tried out for the Olympic team years ago, so I know how easy it can be to target a gun on some sort of stand. After 3 months of "training", knowing to shoot for the head, 2 scopes, 2-3 people already being marksman, using the fence as a stand and killing most of the zombies at the fence seems not so outlandish as your assertions.

I enjoyed it. I keep thinking they need to make spears--spears made of rebar would be very effective IMO.

I can understand why they needed to get in and get the gate closed, but as far as clearing out the levels, I think they should have just stayed behind a locked jail cell, make lots of noise and just let the zombies come to them. I guess I just have used that method in countless video games over the years.

I like the Lori zombie baby idea. That would be awesome.

I made the mistake of watching the preview Comcast had and to find out Rick has a British accent in real life (he was born in South Africa) just shocked me and made watching last night kind of hard.

Problem is the bodies would pile up and block the front of the cell before you killed all the Zombies.

Can you recall any cast and crew ever ripping their child actors? "Man, that Chandler kid blows, please watch our show!"Most child actors are pretty bad imo. Hopefully stbugs allows this post...will delete if not.

By the way, I think Rick went in because he first wanted to close the gate at the top to try and create a safe zone for that night. What if there are walkers still around the prison (likely if any of the other perimeter has been breached? Also, what if a thousand walkers continue to come out and others flank them from the open gates elsewhere.The only part I thought was more silly was while in a safe zone, why not kill as many zombies as you can there? At that point, you aren't going to get flanked, so you can kill as many as possible before going in and securing more safe spots.I guess the only reason is that they probably have zilch to eat, so they can't just hang out for days. I can see Rick's push to get to a safe and sustainable area.That said, here is an interesting idea. Would you try and keep some zombies on the outside? Small enough to be easy to deal with, but maybe enough to deter others from trying to take the prison?
