***OFFICIAL 'The Walking Dead' TV Series Thread*** (7 Viewers)

just saw this somewhere...

You probably heard the one theory that Nicholas had run out of bullets during that sequence in the alley around the dumpster, but it turns out that’s not the case at all. Here’s how executive producer and “Thank You” director Greg Nicotero put it.

I've read a lot of the theories and they're hilarious — but Nicholas (Michael Traynor) running out of bullets is incorrect. They were claiming that they could hear an audible 'click.' But there was a beat that I don't think ended up in the episode, [and was taken out] strictly for time where Glenn says to Nicholas, 'You need to preserve your ammunition and count your bullets.' As the walkers were coming forward and Nicholas was shooting, he was counting his bullets and he counted down to one.
So there you have it, viewers. Technically, it could have all still have been a figment of Nicholas’ imagination as part of one of his panic attacks, but even in a fantasy sequence of this kind, we can confirm he still had at least one more bullet in his gun. He counted!

Nicotero, who cameoed in the episode as the zombie who first started yanking guts during the post-suicide, also told THR that viewers will definitely be revisiting the dumpster scene in the future, so we’ll probably get to see it from a different angle that shows us exactly what happened after the walkers descended on Nicholas and Glenn. Showrunner Scott Gimple previously stated we’d get a full resolution on Glenn’s situation before the midseason finale, so we’ll undoubtedly see characters accepting Glenn’s disappearance and/or death before we actually get to see his possibly final few minutes.

Bold is true. I've watched it a few times and I couldn't hear the reported clicks, they both just switch to knives at some point both holding the gun in the opposite hand. Glenn, does a nice van flip though as he starts diving outward and somehow his head ends up closer to the dumpster than the rest of his body. Jumping inside the dumpster instead of on top would have been the play here.

They show Rick sitting there, then you start to hear walkers.

When they pan out and show the area, Rick had probably already gotten out and started running. It is lazy to assume that when they showed the RV with the walkers approaching that Rick was still inside the RV at that exact time.

Much like when they showed the trash bin from the sky view with walkers all around where you THINK Glenn is still laying.

So we have lazy writers and lazy viewers. How in God's name does this show get such good ratings this way??

So lazy viewers = those not jumping to the same conclusion you did?

when they zoom out of trash bin alley, there is definitely someone on the ground covered in blood where the walkers are congregating. has anyone frozen the picture and determined if it is Glenn or Nick on the ground?

You are being lazy again if that is how you read that.

Click the link, pause the video at 33:54, hit the full screen button and then push play.

 
Yeah, it would take awhile, but make something like a cinder block tied to a rope and just keep dropping it on skulls and retrieving it. There is no certainty that anyone is coming to pied piper them away anytime soon.
I was thinking about how to kill a lot of them. Fire is bad cause it would weaken the wall. Too many really for bullets.

Cinder blocks (if they have any around) or bowling ball or whatever on a rope is genius.
Lifting that thing up over and over again? I mean, seems like you may as well kill some of them, not like the zombies are going to change their mind and be cool or anything, but I dunno. Leading a few away at a shot, killing them with a longer range weapon still the play.
You've got a town full of people... just rotate. Rig it to a pully system even. Its a ranged weapon you can use from the wall with unlimited ammo.

Long spears is a good idea too. Might be harder to rupture skulls from that angle though.

None of these is an immediate solution. It would take weeks to kill all of these zombies. But, they've got food stockpiled. They could get it done.
Ever since this was brought up I had this image of some kind of Gilligan's Island set-up. It would be pretty easy to use a pully system. Only issue is that you'd get tons of walkers coming over to see the commotion and there would be more of a chance that you would weaken the walls that way.

 
Why has no one made a plate armor suit yet? A group of medieval knights would make short work of zombies with almost no risk.

too lazy. just writing this response is making me want a nap.

Can you imagine getting knocked over by a herd and trapped under them in a suit of armor. You would suffocate or starve to death over time. Not a good way to go.

That is why several people have them on, and can distract a small herd that has someone covered up.

Yeah, I'm definitely not advocating going off solo as Sir Galahad in the zombie apocalypse.

You know someone would though. Would make for a fun scene under a pile of rotting walkers.

Or just cover up the armor with walker guts and bam. Force field.

If Abraham was back there, he would have some ideas. MOther ****

 
I just love how everyone seems to have forgotten that you can cut off their arms, put em on a leash, and be pretty much invisible.
or cover yourself in blood

its why i have a love/hate thing with this show. The overall rules of it just go up and down at the discretion of the writers.

Remember when the Dead overran the farm and they could level a house, but a few thousand can withstand a make shift wall? And sound is what they are drawn to instead of scent?

They leveled the house? Pics??

And they have always been drawn to sound, then scent when close enough. Nothing has changed there.

Riot gear, covered in walker guts, with a chopped up walker on a chain, plus baseball bats and/or Michonnes sword.

They could get a couple 12 packs and make a day of it. 3-4 people could wipe ALL of that out.

Cleanup would be a major hassle.
