The Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer

Omg, I drove my wife crazy with the Combine thing !

Every show I'd say: Where the hell is a tractor they could modify or a combine they could just roll over those suckers?

Great to see someone bring it up :lol :thumbsup

Hershel's farm doesn't look like the sort that would have a combine on it, and I don't what you think they're made of, but the are not indestructible death machines and would get jammed up before too long. Combines also use up a lot gas and need a relatively flat and open area to operate. not very practical.
 
spoilers for next season!!!!

Ok fine, airport snow plows. The ones with augers
 
Its a good thing too that all the world's best marksmen magically met each other in the zombie apocalypse. I've never seen so many people who could hit so many moving targets with a headshot, every time, from a moving vehicle in a field... AT NIGHT.

Now, I get the whole "it's a TV show - its not real - it would be boring to watch people take shot after shot and not hit anything"... I get that. But the zombie thing has been done so many times. People have higher expectations now and "realism" is the best way to suck an audience in to an unrealistic scenario. I would like to see a little creativity and not just the same thing I've seen in every other zombie story...

Well... yeah... it is actually a TV show... made for your average zombie audience who's grown accustomed to these things in every zombie movie we've had so far. Most of the audience has never picked up a gun before.

In reality, if we had to shoot zombies in the head with a handgun from a distance, we'd be hosed.

People don't realize just how small a head is... or how hard it is to hit while they're moving.

Even police would have a problem. That's why you aim for the center of mass... it's much easier to hit. No matter how much you line up your target, outside factors cause your body to move. The slightest movement on your part, will cause a huge displacement on where your bullet lands.

But I think right now we have:

A sheriff who was really good at his job
A natural marksman who discovered she had a gift she didn't know about
A guy with a history we don't know about... no idea what Hershel did when he left home other than that he took up drinking.

Keep in mind that all these people are also properly motivated.

It could be a case of survival of the fittest. Those who don't have those skills either stay close to those that do, or die.

Still... all zombie movies seem to make it too easy. Same with swords or knives. They always seem to take the head clean off. Usually to get through a neck, you have to hack and hack.
 
Yeah, it'd be nice if they showed their shots going wild every so often. Rick I can believe hitting his target every time, Shane too, Andrea is a natural sniper in the comics so I can believe that, but everyone hitting the head every time? Just a little too much for me.

They did. Glen missed with the shotgun while in the car. He asked Maggie to drive steady and made some comment like "Come on!" after he missed a couple.

Did you miss the part where they are in Atlanta, Georgia? Snow plows are frequently needed there, nor special super sized ones like that. Plus, how'd they have gotten one from Hartsfield to the farm? Really, it's easy to say what they 'should' get but you're forgetting the million walkers downtown they'd have to deal with.
 
Kerr Avon,
Come on, have fun with it. :) Suspend reality. It's a show where beheaded walkers can still move their mouths and try to bite you. Don't rain on the Zombie Parade.
 
I would have a blast. I'd use city alleyways, lure them in, with the exit blocked, then block the entrance. Rain down flammable liquids and fry me some brains. If done correctly, you can control the fire.

So you've got to secure a building first, you're going to need to have enough supplies to last a fairly long time in it. You're going to have to make sure the fire in the alleyways doesn't happen to get into the building you're in, because if you do you've just trapped yourself in a burning building with hundreds or thousands of walkers outside. It's easy to just say you'd do that, but getting everything to the state you can then actually start raining fire down on walkers is the hard part.

Ok, but, it's a Zombie Apocalypse, what else do I have to do. It isn't like I have a day job. A man has got to stay busy. :)
 
Sheesh, rough crowd!

I suggested a Combine and then I'm told they are too delicate to grind rotting corpses. Ok, next tougher thing that comes to mind is a giant airport snow blower. Nope, they don't have those in Atlanta.

Well, I am not in Atlanta and the zombies are everywhere. I didn't realize the parameters of our little zombie scenario was regionally limited. :)

Maybe they can do a spin-off show that depicts how others around the globe are dealing with the situation.

Do they have road paving equipment in Atlanta? You know, that big thing that grinds up the road and chucks the pieces into a dump truck? How about one of those?

How about corn harvesters? Are those tough enough to shred rotting zombie humans? (I just checked and they do have corn fields in Atlanta!)
