I'm pretty sure the inclusion of the CDC was to get it out from the first season that no one really knows what is happening and causing the dead to rise.
Well until they run into Dr Eugene Porter. *snicker*

Well, hopefully they get to the prison from the comics. They end up finding riot gear.

I love this show! However, it's hard for me to read some of these posts (I breeze past some) because there's constant references to the comics, which I haven't read, so I don't want spoilers in a sense. I really like the production value and the storylines. This is easily my favorite show on tv and I hope they keep it going for a long time.

I think this show is great but agree about the pace slowing down.
I haven't read the comics so I think I need to check them out. The prison? Sounds like a good plotline. I thought the CDC was ripe for more storylines and was surprised how quickly they moved out of there.
Anyone watch through the previews for next week? Was that the missing girl shown? Not sure how to do the "spoiler" thing so if you saw the preview, I'm hoping you know what I mean.

I dont mind the pace so far. The only thing I am getting bored with is the dragging out of the Sophia story arch. Everything else is going great for me. I even like the changes from the comics. Two different forms of telling the story and so far the show is working. Darryl is a great example. Easily my favorite character right now and we wouldnt have that if the show was a straight adaptation of the comic.
As for Shane I see them as making him slowly losing his mind. He'll turn on the group or a member of the group and it wont work out in his favor again.

Like I said before, there's always the possibility that Shane may try to kill Rick for good and meet his fate by Carl's hands, like in the comic. It may take some time.

Actually it does work. I seen it happen in the 1984 Olympics where a local drove his car through a crowd of people. Was all over the news. There was another guy that drove through a crowd of protesters or something a few years back. Zombie or not, they aint going to run after you with broken legs or spines.
The whole talk of "fuel" is also sort of moot. Not enough time has passed for fuel to evaporate much less car batteries to be boat anchors. Besides that, I keep seeing a 60's Mustang right near them as well as old trucks and such. If I know how to bump start them, damn well best believe the cops, the white trash and "I smell farts" Dale sure know how to. While we are on the subject of fuel, which has again been brought up, a 9mpg motor home and a 15 mpg Jeep wagon dont seem very fuel efficient. The "offers protection" excuse in regards to the motorhome is also moot as dude was rolling an exposed Jeep, white trash is on a chopper.... I cant think of a worse motorcycle to ride in an emergency situation than a chopper.
The "safety of the farm" doesnt make sense. Is it walled in, no. Zombies seem to be all over the woods surrounding it and man, what a popular camping area. If you stop and think about it the whole thing starts to turn into the A-Team or Knight Rider as its surroundings only exist as is to suit the needs of the story. Its like "lucky we fell into the water on the way to the mall and before we went over the waterfall the giant branch caught my neon green turtle neck sweater (in July) that the giant three story steel compound was built on (hanging over the waterfall) where the semi evil genius lived and was working on his plan to turn all the malls into waterfalls and his favorite color is neon green...."
Its not a bad show but its not a perfect show. When you stop and think about it, its full of holes and everyone is an idiot.
Ive also said it before, its a tv show, the comic book is moot as well. But I do admit im waiting for this school girl with ninja swords and pet zombies to come along. They do things a little different in them rural areas.

Did you see the damage to the cars afterward? Sure, first time through a few dozen people and the car will be fine. Second pass, damage is going to add up, bodies get stuck in the wheel well, etc. If you're dealing with a hundred zombies then each body is also going to start slowing you down incrementally as you go through them. Getting stuck in a crowd of zombies is a fatally stupid mistake. Go ahead, when the apocalypse comes, maybe I'll be merciful when they're ripping you apart, but I'd probably just save the bullet.

Flesh vs car, ill take car everytime. Dont worry about the "apocalypse", never thought I would quote Ben Affleck but "fictional characters". And yes I did see the cars after they mowed decent amounts of live people down, not much damage really. Most of the damage came from hitting inanimate objects. Besides, ill just keep my cell phone out and dial 482-555-0100 to replenish my health and ammo. Its on speed dial.

I hope you enjoy driving with your head out the window because if you're in anything other then maybe a heavy duty truck, your vehicle is gonna be toast. It may run (barely) but it will eventually die. Your windshield will be one giant spiderweb, your roof will probably be collapsed. You'd be up **** creek

Fictional characters, perhaps, but you simply don't understand the physics of mass, inertia, structural capacity and what it means when you are plowing through a crowd of people. The "Dawn of the Dead" remake demonstrated it well with the escape from the mall in the bus. Even with their cow catcher the mass of the crowd began to drag them to a stop quickly. Even in zombie movies, physics still applies.

Actually yes I do as previously mentioned. In reality while working as a fire fighter I had seen everything vehicle damage from hitting one person, multiple people, walls, light posts, trash cans, houses, trees, animals... The least amount of damage to a vehicle tended to be from people at lower speed accidents. People have bendy parts which both absorb and disperse the impact energy.
Your missing my point, plow them down. Instead these people seem to just run into crowds of zombies with no tact or plan, just a mid goal with no escape route. This brings me back to the characters are all idiots. You have a guy standing at the highest point with binoculars yet he cant spot 100 zombies walking down a road, trees or brush moving or hear them dragging feet. Its all plot point mumbo jumbo that X's something out whether it be character intelligence, the basis of a vehicle or safe house. If you think that these characters are making any good decisions in a real life situation, good luck, im going left when they go right.

It always amazes me how it takes only a few weeks for the entirety of society and structure to completly crumble away and dissapear in a zombie movie, when we developed proceedures for containing rapidly spreading infections much like the Wildfire virus almost 1000 years ago.

Shadow, the "zombie" virus is something that is quick acting backed by modern transportation methods. Its a great premise for a movie/tv show as long as everyone human involved exists on human terms and not super hero rules. It also seems to make human survivors not infected very stupid.
For example with viruses spreading in reality, it was not many years ago now the AIDS virus was projected/feared to become airborne due to its constant mutation. Look at the panic from the sheeple in regards to swine flu or lack of flu shots. People develop crowd mentality and panic in a heartbeat. You would also have intentional and unintentional propaganda to fuel the fire. A great example is the "occupy" photoshopped pictures flooding the net. Not saying all are fake but a good amount are.
In the end, like super heroes, zombies are made up, dont exist, never will.
