I honestly did NOT see Dale dying, totally caught me off guard, and now Carl might hold him self responsible, and we will see how that affect his future character.

Also, they need to kill off some women, all women on AMC shows fucking suck. I don't know if all the writers for AMC have terrible wives or what not, but all the women in all of there shows are awful.

Really on all AMC shows? Breaking Bad and Mad Men both have some very compelling female characters imo.

You're taking a ton of assumptions here about the zombies. They've already shown that zombies both can smell/taste blood and prefer it over other things in their rage. They obviously also can HEAR gun shots, so they have SOME senses, which COULD also include a sense of smell, especially if they detect a cow wandering around by itself. It never showed Carl running away from the zombie so fast that he couldn't have followed close enough behind that he can at least notice the cow. Also they are attracted to light (as shown in season 1 when the black guy and his son turn off the lights at night to keep the zombies away. ALL OF THESE could've attracted the zombie to the farm. claiming they don't use any senses is bullshit when it's ALREADY been shown they have some senses. Just because they may not 'breathe' doesn't mean they may not have the senses to still smell things.

barring all that, assuming zombies in this world aren't what YOU think they are, regarding Dale not being able tp push off the zombie is plausible. You make assumptions about the weight of said zombie, and you also neglect the fact that he just feasted on the cow, so he probably was able to regain strength that he didn't have when trying to grab carl, also carl had the advantage of the zombie being stuck, while zombie had the advantage against dale because he caught him by surprise and knocked him down. There has never been any indication of Dale being overly able bodied, he's old as shit from what we can tell and he's never done anything physical in the show to display strength otherwise. There's also panic which can set in and scare you, there's also the fact that Dale is contemplating not wanting to live in this world anymore anyways and wasn't fighting with all his strength. I think they've likewise stated that the walkers/zombies/etc all are in states of extreme hunger and could possibly have high doses of adrenaline in them as well? cmon the thing just ate a fucking cow and took it down, that's not enough to explain to people that he could take down an overweight old man?

Keep picking at straws though about this and that, while you tear apart a good show because it doesn't conform to YOUR definition of a zombie.

I'm not sure how to respond to this. It honestly seems like you're trolling me, but to the point where I'm not sure if you are or not. "Zombies have senses, not because its physically possible, but because they have them." Humans have senses, but if one were to lose the nerves in part of his body, he would no longer be able to feel that part of the body. If they break their spine (the wiring required to feel because it is the only thing that attaches it's extremities to the brain) they would no long have the sense of feeling. This is why zombies don't feel pain or react to pain, they have none of the requisites to the sense of feeling.

One could further argue the sense of smell is not possible again because it requires a connection to the brain, but I will pass over this argument as there is no distinction to what is wrong with their brain because if it were not for the brain being the only actual vital organ, then the zombie would not die when its brain is destroyed by knife or gun.

But you see, this was only a silly and lighthearted statement of mine to show how much could really be argued about the logicalness of the show. It was to show that in comparison, saying Dale ought to be able to fight off a zombie is an extraordinarily small thing to ask for, but you seemingly missed that part of my post, or were too furious at me bashing the show you live for.

But if you honestly want to argue the possibility of zombies not actually physically meeting the requisites of having the 5 senses we humans have, I don't think I can have a serious discussion with you about it.
