The Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer
- Thread starter Andy
- Start date
Lobotomy Zombie...It was shown at the CDC that the Cerebral Cortex is the active part of a Walkers Brain, the most primitive part. That shot in fact may not do permanent damage to a normal person, to a walker, it would have done nothing, they don't need or use their frontal lobes.
It's a Walkers Medulla Oblongata that makes them so mean Mama.

No, it's not. I'm pointing out that if a little girl can easily get lost, Darryl himself can end up getting lost too if he goes too far off trail (basic standard in making your way back to a location is to walk back the same path you walked to get out there).
And do you honestly think Darryl was carrying the only map that the whole group has access to with him? I didn't see him checking a map before attempting to climb the hill the first or second time.
I'm not arguing this. The last time I checked, we were having a calm discussion about this particular topic.
Besides, did you not consider the possibility that he was hoping that the horse was still at the spot at the top of the hill, which is why he was trying so hard to climb up it? With an arrow sticking through you, or even with an arrow hole in you, if the thought there was a possibility that the horse was still in the area of where you were thrown off and possibly be able to easily ride back to the farm, you'd try to climb for it. We find out it wasn't there after he makes it, but before that, there was the possibility of the horse still being there.
If I recall correctly, Hershel told Rick that he and his people were to stay away from the barn when Rick offered to have his group set up near it (as not to give the impression to them that they were allowed to stay at the farm permanently). In the comics, almost the same thing occurred, when Rick offered to set up his people inside of the barn so that they wouldn't be stuck in the R.V. in the front of the house. Since Rick is trying to get on Hershel's good side, I think he would have made sure that his group would stay away from the barn. And unless you're inside the barn (like Glen was), it's hard to smell something outside of a building from a few yards away, let alone hear anything (using an example from the show, Rick had to scream at the top of his lungs at Andrea for her to hear him from where he stood near Darryl. A small group of zombies moaning and weakling banging against a locked barn door wouldn't be able to be heard from where the house is).
The reason why Hershel's rules haven't been followed is because Rick hasn't forced his group to follow all of them (the only one he's forced so far is the no handling guns on the property, in the beginning, then he let it slide). If I had been Rick, especially since she came so close to killing Darryl and had been told NOT to shoot the rifle before heading out, I would have revoked Andrea's gun privileges. That means she wouldn't have ever touched another gun again unless it was really necessary (I wouldn't care how much she griped about it like she did when Dale wouldn't give her the gun). That would be the only way for her and the others to know that following the rules are important. You have to re-enforce the rules. So far, Rick has allowed things to slide and he hasn't re-enforced them despite giving his word that his group would follow them. This is pretty much setting up a good reason for Hershel turning away the group (where as in the comics, there wasn't much of a reason for Hershel to turn them away until the incident of trying to load in another zombie into the barn).
I haven't seen a character like that in the comic in the three volumes I've read thus far (I don't know about anything from Volume 4 on up, so if anyone knows if such a character turns up in the comics, please let me know so that I at least be sure for any kind of future discussions that involve such a topic). And since they're already pushing the boundary with the show as it is with the graphic zombie violence, they're not going to go that far for the show (seriously, if it were HBO or Showtime, they could probably get away with that. But this is AMC we're talking about).

I agree. If you can't enjoy the show for what it is, then don't watch it.

Your forgetting when I previously stated im waiting for the show to get better. Last season it veered off with the terribly cast and acted gang banger episode. :darnkids
Ive been wondering if the basis for the WD zombies have even been given rules to follow for the writers. This is something every villain or hero needs to follow when being penned. There are both limits and exceptions to the rule. Thus far it seems zombies travel in groups and gather in crowds obeying the basic laws of the crosswalk according to the pilot episode yet they do have the car vs pedestrian thing mixed up.

If I remember correctly, the way they explained it is one zombie hears/see's something and starts moaning and heading in that direction. Other zombies hearing the first zombies moans and increased activity move in the same direction thinking there's food over there. Then more and more join until they form a herd.
What do you mean by car vs ped?

I think he's talking about the "can't smell the humans under the car" thing from the start of the season. I thought the consensus was that due to the dead bodies inside of the cars, the zombies couldn't smell the humans (not to mention the fact that the zombies are still utilizing normal senses).

No I mean when Rick is waltzing through downtown on his horse and all the sudden he goes to turn down a street and its full of sardine packed zombies that wont break the crosswalk line. While watching it, before I could comment my girl blurted out "safety first, jay walkers" in regards to the lack of anything in the crosswalk.
That reminds me now of another continuity error, the lack of destruction to the city as seen in this past episode as compared to the first season.

Scene from next week's episode.
"Secrets" sneak peek! - YouTube
I generally liked the last episode, despite some stupid character development or basically, the ending where Andrea shot Darryl and then everyone conveniently forgot/forgave her. This preview doesn't look to good to me - but then again, neither did the last scene preview with Dale a Glenn.

Already pointed that out, and the scene with the napalm is completely made up for the TV series, it never happened in the comic so clearly it couldn't have been seen ahead of time for the first season.

Downtown Atlanta and neighboring areas are fairly vast. On top of the fact that napalm is inaccurate at some accounts, and may have destroyed the outer lying areas.
Some buildings in the first season were digitally enhanced too look pretty messed up, with the possibility of being burnt at one time. That doesn't count for the fact it might have rained in between. Atlanta and Georgia in general is VERY prone to pop up showers.
Anyway...if you look at some of the promo posters, the apartment complexes, that are actually there when you come in from the south-eastern end of the highway, ARE digitally roughed up.
Use your imagination guys. :behave

I thought "Anybody can die!" was a big selling point for the series. Yet so far (in this season, anyway), despite being shot and stabbed and thrown down cliffs, characters are miraculously avoiding death at every turn. (Maybe it didn't carry over from the books?) I think it would have been much more poignant for Darryl to have made it back only to be shot and killed by mistake. (Shades of the original NOTLD.) It also would have taken some guts on the part of the producers.
I didn't like the Atlanta flashback, but the napalm scenes were pretty dang cool.
What? When did TV become a zero-sum game?

This isnt the comic book its a tv series. Ill have a t-shirt made for you if you like. You just summed up what ive been saying all along, there is not a set of rules for the writers to follow. Instead they are free to add things that conflict with whats already been established. I thought Star Wars would have been enough to teach people this lesson.

I think what is disappointing about the series vs the comics is that the series hasn't yet given me a total WTF moment.
Yes, the series is the series and the comic is the comic. Still, there were many moments in the comics that were just supreme wow moments. I won't spoil any here.
The series, while pretty good, just lacks the whole surprise bang. It's not impossible to do on TV. Dexter proves that, as do others. I think that lack of bang is most disappointing about Walking Dead so far.
