Like a lot of you have pointed out I have no idea why they didn't have some sort of "when the poop hits the fan" plan.

Like a lot of you have pointed out I have no idea why they didn't have some sort of "when the poop hits the fan" plan.

I thought that's what they were doing in the second-to-last episode after Dale was killed. They decided to move into the house and it seemed at that point they were beginning to make those plans. But then the Randall/Shane thing happened and things spiraled out of control from there.

 

[Billy Bats]

Looking back the final episode was good (even taking the shotgun and shooting from cars thing) but the driving around like mad men didnt really seem what a realistic person would do in that scenario. Wouldnt you, you know, just get in the car when you see the walkers that far off and drive and then maybe later try and come back for supplies or something? I dont think I would be driving in circles trying to shoot them all.

Yeah, and as others have mentioned you'd think these folks would have planned for such an event. Can't you just use the two pickups to run down the walkers all night? You don't even have to drive fast. Just ride through them knocking them down, breaking legs, backs. Then finish them off by running over them again and again. Hell you hardly have to fire any shots.

which leads me to another question I asked why earlier. Wouldnt you go scavenge like a big truck or bus or something for just an event like this? To plow through the zombies. An early 70's model truck, an 80's suburban, a beat up RV and a new Prious isnt really what I had in mind. And the motorcycle has to be the dumbest of them all.

They obviously never watched the A-Team, B.A. Baracus would've built a zombie killing machine in 5 minutes.

Seems to me this could probably be easily solved by going on a yacht and finding a nice island.

I think T dawg wanted to do this. Maybe they should have let him do more talking a few episodes back.

When did he stop being a mute?

when he got the 2 white women in his truck. He was going to take them to the beach and then the crazy one wanted to jump out of the moving truck.

You know he thought about letting both of them out. Neither one of them was fat.

I'm sure my man Hova is looking for me in the chopper. I'd drive to his heliport, give him a pound and take the chopper to his yacht which would attract all the zombies..get about 50 feet from shore, preferably in Key Biscayne with women, music, drink and unlimited ammo. Mow them down from the friendly confines of a yacht. Then if you get bored, take the chopper up and drop bombs, yo!

As has been mentioned many times.. Up until Dale getting by a Zombie they felt safe and protected so had no need to have a exit plan. By the time they realized they were not as safe as they thought everything fell apart fast.

but sitting around the campfire wouldnt someone say "hey guys, just for ####s and giggles what would you do if a couple hundred zombies showed up here, not that its ever going to happen just what would you do?"

Yeah but this moronic. If they felt safe then why have people up on the Winnebago with a scoped rifle?

 

[CBusAlex]

I was sort of under the impression that meeting up at the highway was their "oh-####" plan. That's why everyone ended up going there.

 

[Marvin]

I was talking more about just getting the hell out of there. Like an evacuation. Not sure where the whole "Chinese fire drill mixed with a drive-by shooting" comes in but more power to them.

 

[beer 30]

Meh, the plan was stupid but made for great TV. I was one of the ones #####ing about the show early on because of the pace. They seem to have addressed that recently

Can't wait for next season

They've been :thisclose: to getting booted from the farm and just recently were allowed to sleep in the house, so I'm not sure what options they'd have when faced with 100-200 zombies.

 

[Jobber]

Not having read any spoilers or the comic, I may have an idea as to why the swordsman leads those two neutered zombies around.

If she sees walkers nearby, she pulls the prisoners close to hide her human smell. You can't see her face or body so it's difficult to tell even that she's not a walker. She's pretty much hiding in plain sight.

 

[johnadams]

Sometimes, you have to deal with what's right in front of you. Day to day survival often precludes long term planning. Plus, it's not like there was a bevy of options available to the group.

"day to day"? How hard it is to say "Hey, just in case things get metal around here we need a plan...you five go in the motorhome, you three take the truck..."?And hell they spent a whole lot of time just talking about crap. Pretty sure they weren't foraging for grubs and berries dawn to dusk.

The seemingly spent this entire season wandering around in the countryside near the farm. Why didn't they ever scout out good fall-back locations, where they could all rendevous? I mean, besides, in an open, unprotected highway with walkers wandering around?

 

[Usual21]

For those that have read the comics:

Spoiler

Do you think they will show the rape and torture of Michonne by the Governor?

 

[badmojo1006]

Spoiler

That is a tough one. I am guessing they will hint at it. I am wondering if they show Michonne getting revenge on the Governor, cause that was worse graphically IMHO.

No need to worry about spoilers, the comics don't give a satisfactory explanation either.

How many deaths is Carl now responsible for - 3?

 

[bushdocda]

This was one of my biggest issues with Dale acting like they were such barbarians and should be civilized now that they were chilling on a farm. News flash: zombie on your six homey.

Comic book nerds wanna explain the zombies on a leash thing?

with no arms

Bump.

I think one is her ex-boyfriend and the other her brother or exs brother.

Right, I get all of that. How does having no arms and lower jaw keep them from having a desire to attack her? And how does that act as a deterrent to other walkers?

Red the comics ya jackass!

comics suck, sorry guy.

Something I read on another board.

If Lori's baby dies late in her term, will it turn into a floater(walker) and try to eat her from the inside out?

My wife doesn't buy the 'I read it for the articles!' Pretty sure she's not gonna buy 'I read it for the comics!' either.

Bottom of page 87 of this thread has a "spoiler" of a sort that explains more of those in tow. Not a Huge spoiler and IMO worth reading.
