***OFFICIAL 'The Walking Dead' TV Series Thread*** (4 Viewers)

unless they define what their purpose is as a group, their only goal is to stay alive each day for now, which makes them hunter/gatherer nomads. Being confined doesn't work
This seems to be one of the biggest questions the show is posing right now - Can these people successfully adapt to a more "normal" environment or are they destined to just walk the woods being nomadic savages? Have they done too much and gone too far to go back to any kind of normal type of living? Or will they just destroy everything in their path?
They haven't destroyed anything in their path that wasn't going to be destroyed eventually. Alexandria is a ticking time bomb waiting for someone to attack it and kill everyone inside.

Why they want to stay in Alexandria instead of building their own community in one of the millions of places they could choose all around DC is beyond me.
Alexandria has a bunch of resources that aren't really available most places (or anywhere) due to it being a planned sustainable community.
Step 1 - find a lake

Step 2 - install some solar panels

Step 3 - build a wall with braces on the inside
Seems simple enough, but you're missing one crucial point: their last, best hope for an architect to design that fence just got eaten. Without Noah to learn architecture and design fences and such for them, they are now stuck in Alexandria forever.
In a thread chock full of ridiculous, nonsensical comments, this one takes the cake.Surely there must be someone else that can write "This is the beginning" in a moleskin notebook. Or did I miss where he already had a civil engineering degree and the original Alexandria 'architect' was dead?

 
Huh.

Local sports radio station is running a Man TV Madness bracket of television shows for the public to vote on. Four categories, Comedy, Drama, Classic (finale before 2000) and Premium (HBO/Showtime/etc).

The Walking Dead was the #2 seed in the Drama regional and got beat 51% to 49% by 7 seed The Shield.

Makes me wonder what the audience demographics are for TWD.
Got a link?
Current Drama voting that gives Rd 1 results

Full bracket

They set and seeded the brackets based on a poll of the station employees I think.
House of Cards over Sopranos?

Fresh Prince over Seinfeld?

Law and Order over Breaking Bad?

<_<

Yeah, couple of really way out there results. I kind of wonder if maybe they didn't restrict the number of votes per IP and someone is just spamming it with dumb votes or something.

Why would you think that? We're the country where shows like Maury, Jerry Springer, the Kardashians and Honey Boo Boo flourish.

Et tu, Kupcho?

MODS...THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. Bring back the Test Forum or watch the board continue its slow descent into chaos imo.

 
I'm going to say the doc drinks but he's harmless. The kid is just messed up, maybe not Lizzie messed up, but messed up. Zombie apocalypses have a way of doing that to people. So Carol is projecting her life experiences on to the poor guy and will get Rick to kill him. Only after will he find out his error. That along with Father Gabriel and the governess's son being killed will cause chaos, just as the Wolves begin their attack.
Didn't see any bruises on the kid or Jessie. Could be Carol projecting her own issues? Yet the kid comes over to see Carol who threatened to have him be eaten by walkers. So something worse at home?

Wouldn't rule Jesse out as the abuser if something is going on. Kid broke her owl statue not his Dad's whiskey bottle.

 
Oh, and not sure if mentioned............

These commercials for "I Zombie", wow. This show looks to be the kind that last for like, half of the first episode then get pulled for a rerun of Cheers or something.
Oh good lord. Is she always a zombie or is that like her super power, to turn into a zombie at will? Man that looks dumb.
I don't even want to know. It just looked real, real bad.

 
While we're asking our resident public defender of everything Walking Dead...ask how a walker can rip a man's face apart with its bare hands or rip a man's gut/chest open.I can't do that right now...

But let's say they get some zombie superstrength from the virus. One that turns their skulls to egg shells but turns their fingers to iron and grip strength of Hulk...why can't a horde of them break glass when we see them pile up at a window?
Most every zombie movie ever has zombies ripping people apart.

They can do this because that is what the COMIC BOOK says they do. If the show is about zombies, is it really that terrible to allow the zombies to do what zombies do?

If you are watching "Hulk" do you complain about how he all of a sudden gains weight without ingesting anything?

Question

When Abe says "motherdick", did he have that smile on his face because his character on the show is a twisted freak who likes to bash walkers?

Or was it cause that line is so ### #### perfectly ridiculous that the non-actor Cuds simply could not say it with a straight face no matter how many takes they did, and they were running out of daylight?

Is he a bad actor or is the character simply over the top cartoonish?

Is he so bad he is good, or just the perfect amount of cartoonish?

Whether by design or accident, he plays that perfectly.
 
#### yeah. fan art is great sometimes. Wish i had time to do that, but i'm too busy trolling internet boards all day to mess with that fancy photoshop stuff
It could say "don't tell your mom".

That is sort of a real slogan, yet we all would know it means "or else".

Props for this one though. A few good ones. Abe's still wins for me

A new word

Motherdick definition: A situation that is life threatening that is so incredibly unrealistically impossible that it makes you smile.

the real question has always been , how is it HULKS pants stretch with his body when he morphs ?

You clearly do not understand how Gamma radiation works.

"Buffet pants" I call 'em.

 
Noah's death was totally awesome. The gruesomeness needle went way up when they showed his face being torn apart. The only thing I thought about his death was the blood. For the live of me it looked like it first bled red but then they took another bite out of him and it came out looking like 40,000 mile used motor oil.

I thought it was good writing how they had Carol notice Pete's wife/son abuse since she had a history of being abused herself.
I wonder if Carol's manipulating Rick for her own gain for reasons currently unknown. Her deciding the only way to resolve the issue with Porch D**k was by killing him seemed a bit ... extreme.

Was Noah's death the first time a main character has died while another main character was forced to watch it all? Carol saw what was happening to T-Dog but not all of it. I can't remember if we've had a death like that before. Great point by Steven Yeun on Talking Dead about how nobody had ever died on Glen's watch before.
I find it interesting how easy the walkers are to kill by just sort of pushing them over and then stabbing their heads but get them in a situation like with Noah and they're massively strong. smh

It's weird how you can't seem to get the point. Guess that's why this show has no flaws for you.

I have no problem with them ripping people open (although it's highly unlikely)...I have a problem with them unable to break a single pane of glass in a following scene.

There's absolutely no consistency...they do or do not do...simply to fit the scene.

They ninja through woods (and then breathe loud as hell and stubble through stuff next scene), they pop up from beside where Rick hides his gun (but didn't before), they have explosive grenades on them (even though most people would've tossed those at the zombies while defending their life)...it's just third graders writing this mad - libs script.

Other than Bruce Banner and Tony Stark who really does?

Stuff in real life rarely works out the way you think it will, yet fiction has to always work out the way you think best?

It's not unusual that someone would die with unexploded ordinance on them. Perhaps he was killed by friendly fire. Or perhaps he fell and broke his neck. Or maybe it was a heartattack. The fact that he wasn't ripped to shreds is an indication that he wasn't killed by a bunch of zombies, but rather died by some other cause.

Hey, this is tdoss' world. People cannot die unless their ripped to shreds although he thinks that cannot happen, so I am really confused now.

 
I was wondering why there were even a bunch of zombies locked inside that cage in the first place?
It was big warehouse inside a big building and they were back in the parts area. I assume the cage was where you'd get to the rest of the building. They probably keep the parts area locked so only certain people can get in there. I think they got out to the front entrance of the building through that gate or another open one. The door they went in was clearly only for people with access to the parts.ETA for District Attorneys: Note that I am going off memory. I know parts areas in bigger buildings are normally not open to everyone. I don't recall exactly what was behind the fence so I am assuming.

Sounds very consistent with the comics and every other main stream zombie movie :shrug: :rolleyes:
