Discussing the show and past episodes is fine. Do not put things that have happened in the TV series in spoilers. However, don't spoil things from the books that may happen in future episodes. Put book spoilers in spoiler tags with a CLEAR WARNING that it is from the book. | ||

I thought that was super clearly done, but maybe next time the director needs to tell the camera man to zoom in on a completely torn out cable at the phone and then put some subtitle (I suggest: "phone (broken)"), so that everyone can get it ^^ | ||

But it starts raining, washing off the guts and the walkers start becoming aware of their presence. Just to make sure people get it, its explained in this ep even right after she slices the zombie open and its guts fall on her. She walks out past the zombies and they don't notice her. | ||

I wonder how this people find the common sense to get dressed in the mornings lol. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/postmessage.php?quote=5318&topic_id=162444 On November 20 2012 11:49 CrimsonLotus wrote: + Show Spoiler [Mod edit: COMICS!] + Yes, but in the comics it happened after basically everything in his life had went to hell, it was Rick's absolutely lowest point and it kinda made sense since at that point he had been through a lot more than in the show. In the show it felt very random and out of place. User was warned for this post Also, I'm not enterely sure what my comment spoils about the comic other than the fact that the call still happens and that it happens in a different way... which seems silly since this has been mentioned about a dozen times, but ok. | ||

How can you basically bathe in their guts and not get sick ? Especially when you have a hole in your leg. Bacteria or whatever infects them doesn't instantly die when exposed to air.. It already bothered me in season1. Touching zombie blood should be a BIG no-no. | ||

And it looked like she got some in her mouth/eyes because it was on her face. Yeah, I guess that's just one of those "gloss over the details to move the story forward" moments. | ||

I like the series, don't get me wrong, but as the survivors wade around in zombie gore, attack zombies with hatchets and machetes and get covered from head to toe in blood spatter ... Yeahhh I just keep thinking "How are these people not all zombies right now?" | ||

Yeahhh I just keep thinking "How are these people not all zombies right now?" This has been somewhat explained by the fact that everyone is already "infected". It is specifically the bite, and the bite alone, that triggers the fever into death which leads to reanimation. Either way, perhaps it's best to just practice a willing suspension of disbelief.  | ||

Yeahhh I just keep thinking "How are these people not all zombies right now?" This is what was brought up, er, 2-4 weeks ago, until some people began crying that it doesn't matter, because why do zombies even exist in the first place, it's fiction, it doesn't need to be realistic, etc, etc. I'm going to avoid that discussion, mainly because it's hugely theoretical about how the infection in ex-Darabont's (this show, season 1 and 2) version is inconsistent. I want to demonstrate that zombies exist in hugely different forms, and that Kirkman/Darabont have a completely different type of zombie than what you're used to. ( on a side note; asdfasff learning more about all the different zombies, I've been mixing them up. Damned inconsistencies T.T ) First off, understand that in every remake with zombies, Romero, the original "creator" of the zombie, never existed. That is, the population has no idea that the word zombie even exists, and if the word exists, it certainly does not mean the "walking dead," or walkers. This is to stop bullshit where people in this forum keep saying, they should totally do this because it's something I read that you should do when you fight zombies in the real world, and they should have read this book too. Your idea of a modern zombies probably stems HEAVILY from Brooks's writing. And that's the infection via the Solenum virus, which creates zombies, and spreads via open wounds or contact with infected blood or saliva. That's also the idea of slow walking, easily avoidable zombies. This is usually the best interpretation, mainly because Brooks wrote out all of his thoughts and ideas in detail about his zombies in his survival guide. Romero's original zombies are completely different. There was no defined cause of zombies. The simple idea was, if you die, you turn into a zombie. If you were bit, you got ill and died. Zombies are slow, and don't have any memories, and subsequently can't learn. They have a very, very basic attachment to the place they died. He then fucked things over in later series by adding more stuff to zombies, like making them faster and more intelligent. O'Donnall? made the original movie based off of Romero, but he added that they could learn, had their previous memories, essentially dead humans. They could talk. They could function without the brain. Infection was based on a chemical gas, Trioxin, which contaminated humans via bite. If you died via gunshot wound, you wouldn't turn. Boyle's zombies, of 28 Days Later fame, had a virus called Rage from chimpanzees, which spread to humans via bites. They could run, so they were essentially rabid humans. Not sure because I didn't like this concept enough to care about the movie. Kirkman's comic zombies are really based off of Romero's original zombies, minus the stupid evolving part. Darabont's, The Walking Dead ex-producer, zombies are inconsistent in the first two episodes. He seems to have figured out what he wants in this third season, so it's okay now I guess. Some of the main inconsistencies were: in the season 1 premiere, they could run. In season 1 episode 3 or 4, one of them was holding a brick to the store window. He addresses the point of drinking contaminated water in season 2 with the bloater, but didn't make anything really clear. Also some bullshit where corpses reanimate depending on how full of life the person was before they died, like Shane. I don't know. I'm probably missing a lot of points and other zombies, but there's a good portion of them. I think I mistook one of these zombies because I'm sure there was one interpretation where the infection spread via scratches and bites. The main point is, your inconsistencies aren't the right inconsistencies to be worrying about. Haha. Neither of Romero's or Kirkman's or Darabont's premises stated that touching zombie blood could kill you. The theoretical discussion several pages back was how this could be possible while biting could kill you. | ||

Maybe what would be good, is that next season they play off that a large amount of time has passed and carl is now a bit older, and can be replaced with an actor that isn't absolutely garbage. | ||

Don't act so defensive when you clearly did something that horrible and idiotic. That's probably the worst spoiler that's out there... shame on you, and shame on you again for being such a bitch about it, and then shame on you again for getting it wrong.

I updated the post a bit. At least it's good to see the show being a lot more consistent, although I don't like how often zombies just randomly stumble by. That scene in the woods when Merle was dazed, and then 6 zombies come by randomly was a bit too random, but otherwise nothing wrong with this episode. | ||

Merle even makes a comment about it. But yes, it was convenient timing. | ||

It's just that the started a fight which lasted all of 10 seconds, and then 6 zombies appeared a couple seconds later. It would have been a lot better if they showed one or two of them coming in the background before Michonne attacked. The way all of them just appeared really felt like they were thrown in there for the sole purpose of letting Michonne get away, instead of just being randomly attracted to the sound. I don't know, but that's the feeling I got from that scene. Like a plot device, instead of something that's always looming and sometimes convenient. | ||
