The Walking Dead Season 3

[Feezle-Nuts]

Moocricket, care to share who the grave belongs to? None of the forums I've been on seem to have any info on it that I can see.

Okay in a post apocalyptic Zombie world that would'nt work to well it's not like they could drive to a Walmart and pick a few up or get online and find it :sick. Lol

This is why so many of you wouldn't survive in a post-apocolyptic world. :darnkids

If you don't already own it or can't scavenge it, then you make it. You've got to think outside the box a little. Granted the ring mesh is an ideal, but with very simple hardware supplies a maille shirt could be made in about a week.

They could've put some of the useless people to work, and before they got run off Hershel's farm everyone would be protected. Especially since we found out a Canadian Tuxedo won't hold up against the zombie's nasty, big, pointy teeth.

 

[Amish Trooper]

Yep that is why I mentioned wire hangers, cutter and pliers. Or if you need leather go search houses start stripping furniture and layer it. Maybe put simple flexible for sale signs in between the layers.

 

[Sir Angus]

Exactly my point! Although, I'd start by using up all the split ring washers I could get my hands on. In this kind of scenario, there's no such thing as downtime.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

Glad to see T-Dog getting more action, he was so wasted in S2.
Rick is turning a bit dark, less the hero he was in S1 and more Daryl. Maybe he will start to understand how a man can change...

Yeah maybe your right and to save time from making these suits while being chased by hoards of zombies maybe Rick and the gang can drive on down to Medieval times and pick up a few of these suits :lol

 

[Lord Boron]

So much for "we don't kill the living."

 

[DoubleD]

It would have eventually escalated to a kill or be killed scenario with that one prisoner. I think Rick let that one guy stay around too long as it was.

Not everyone on the RPF builds in foam and latex ... I've built/own several steel suits and there's, literally, hundreds of thousands of people just like me. Then you've got the "Resident Evil" Umbrella Corp. cosplayers (among others), airsoft & paintball players, military, police, preppers, etc.

You might be surprised by how many people own body armor. Whether or not they'd get to use it when the SHTF is another story.

There's also only one person driving each or their vehicles. The others are just siting there. They could've been making themselves useful. Besides whenever this group has too much downtime certain members are prone to stupidity or wandering, sometimes both. All I'm saying is give them a task and minimize the drama.

This won't be popular to say it, but I just don't get zombie fiction. The premise is always the same, people revert to baser instincts, do moronic things and get eaten, will prey on the living, then the zombies always get them in the end. Every single zombie movie out there, has always been like this.
I've watched it and it's well executed, simple logic thrown out the window, of course.
For example, who's mowing all the grass after society has collapsed? Have landscaper zombies decided to keep mowing? really, doesn't this bug anyone else at how silly the representation of how the world would looks afterward is shown?
At the risk of spoiling eveything, heres everything you'll see in all the seasons of the show:

• Zombies are everywhere and nobody can do anything about it
• There's nothing of civilization left
• People take advantage of others and wallow in misery
• The zombies eventually get everyone (really important to remember that part)

Yawn. Can I go to bed now?
Why is everyone so pumped when they know that all these characters are going to die (most - if not all - died long ago in the comic book series, I've been told)? Are sci-fi fan that easy to please that they want a premise that can only go one way? :confused

Yes, you may go to bed, and never watch WD ever again. Because you don't like it and I don't want to see any more of your complaints. Glad to never see you in this thread again!

 

[Sir Angus]

^ :lol Kerr :thumbsup

I guess it's a good thing you're not a moderator, then. :rolleyes

I have yet to talk with a fan of this show who can explain why zombie fiction is so popular when they all end exactly the same way. Everyone gets really defensive, but nobody can (or apparently is willing to) explain it.
You guys don't get tired of this? You know they all die badly, so really, what's the appeal of the genre?
Is it because you want a safe genre that you don't have to think too much about the implications of anything? If so, that's cool. We all have our mindless guilty pleasures, no harm in that. But why do fans of zombie stuff get so up in arms when anyone questions the genre?
I'll concede that they have done as good a job with the source material that anyone could do. I think it's a well-done show, but I just don't get why people are so easily pleased with the concept in general when you know how it's going to end and knew it from day one!

 

[Kerr Avon]

Original "Day of the Dead" - survivors alive and safe on island.
"Shawn of the Dead" - Shawn alive, with girlfriend, at end of movie with his zombified roommate playing PS2 in the shed.
"Night of the Living Dead" remake - her royal hawtness, Barbara, survives at the end and puts a bullet in the head of the racist *****, leaving him 'another for the burn pile'
"Night of the Comet" - girls survive the zombies and the younger one meets the punk who beat the older girl's high score on a game.

There's four. Why are you still here?

 

[Sir Angus]

You guys don't get tired of this?

Much like any good story, there's always a new way of telling it. Just because the theme has been done doesn't mean its exhausted.

You know they all die badly, so really, what's the appeal of the genre?

As Kerr pointed out, no they don't all end the same. However, to take a very pessimistic perspective - "On a long enough timeline everything dies."

Is it because you want a safe genre that you don't have to think too much about the implications of anything?

If I wanted a safe genre I'd watch the food network or reality TV. I enjoy the zombie/undead genre for the same reasons new Vampire movies keep being made. Even though not all are good *cough Twilight cough*; they do all seem to add to the tapestry of the genre.

But why do fans of zombie stuff get so up in arms when anyone questions the genre?

Because some people are trolls disguised as ignorant pinheads wearing the mask of an open-minded inquisitor.

[Feraud]

I don't see much questioning of the zombie genre therefore the fans are not "up in arms" and defensive over anything. It's an odd perception to jump into a conversation with.

If someone takes an antagonistic attitude about a genre you can expect equally antagonist replies. Most people tend to not give thoughtful, insightful replies to combative or unfriendly queries.

Well, maybe I speak alone here, but, I love Zombie fiction because I would love for something like this to happen in real life. I like the idea of survival, of a post apocalyptic world where the dead walk and that's what does it for me. Does it always end the same? Yes, but in a way doesn't almost every movie end the same where the good guy wins and saves the day? Why like those movies when you always know how they'll end? It's the journey to the end that makes it exciting and in the Zombie world anything can happen. Anyone can die at any moment, and you never know who.

Really we don't know at all how widespread the outbreak is and if help is on the way, or that they have it contained through some states... There's a whole lot we don't know and some of them just might make it out alive.

I know Zombie films generally are dooming with no hope, but all we know about in Walking Dead thus far is where they've been throughout this journey and just how much hasn't been discovered yet due to down communications and electricity and all.

I still think they've barely scratched the surface in this story and it could go so many ways.

This is easily the best zombie apocalypse production series i've ever seen and I will be watching every episode.

I think we know for sure, from my powers of deduction, that the outbreak is global and has affected all nations.
If there was any allied nation available for assistance they would have sent NATO to the U.S. ASAP to help us out.



Just my 2 cents.
