yeah, they are [piratevoice] more like guidelines anyway [/piratevoice]
There not set in stone dates.
Many people confuse Use-By, Best if Used By, Best By, Best Before dates and Sell By dates with an Actual Expires on date. Anything in the use by, best by category is when the manufacturer thinks it is best to use it before and has nothing to do with safety.
I think you have to think of walkers more like animals than something that used to be human. Animals aren't very bright (compared to humans). They're easily fooled into thinking that decoys are one of them, even though they obviously are not (to us). Many are fooled by something that just has the same shape and scent. Walkers also exhibit a heard behavior... they follow each other. They just wander with each other watching to see if one of them sees food. They're just driven by the instinct to eat. They're also pretty messed up... so not only are their eyes not functioning the best, their brains probably don't interpret the images very well. But even cats have terrific vision... but they can't tell that the laser dot is not an animal. They just know it's something small and moving quickly and must die. Their brains don't reason the same as ours do.
Removing their ability to attack makes them docile because they have the same ability to learn that animals have... they learn they can't do anything and just give up. But much like animals they can't really reason very well... they can't open doors or use tools.
The other walkers see these two walkers walking along someone else that has the same shape... do to the fact that those two aren't agitated or trying to eat her, they figure she's just one of them. Once again, they're not smart enough to reason that those two "pets" are roped or chained.
Seeing this last episode really gets to me, have these people not learned their lesson after Herschel's farm and actually come up with a bug out plan that includes a rendezvous point? It's obvious they haven't but you'd think that after how much trouble they had finding each other again after bugging out of Herschel's farm that after they found and moved into the prison one of the first things they would have done is find and designate a rendezvous point in the off chance that they had to bug out of the prison in a huge hurry. But no, they still just scatter to the winds like last time and will probably end up losing people before they finally reunite, except this time they have a whole lot more people to lose although in terms of the show only the core group really matter and none of the Woodbury refugees really matter much to the audience.
Flying Zombies with Freakin Laser Beams! That would be a great Syfy channel show!

They did have a plan. The plan was to get everyone to the prison bus and flee if things went bad. They forgot the first rule of warfare, no plan survives first contact with the enemy.
Robiwon, I swear on Odin's beard and to almighty Zeus that if they make that abomination you just described, I will hunt you down and break all your props slowly and right in front of you, gather the remnants, place them on your vehicle's engine block, and light the whole thing on fire.
All while wearing a kilt regimentally on a windy day.
Actually, John Tyler from Syfy (admin exec for project development) contacted me via FB, where I had posted just a brief little story synopsis based on the above, expressing an interest in me writing a longer version of my story for submission to their STI Department. I'm assuming for a possible future movie. I've been asked not to talk about it further than that. So.......
I think I will write a draft and send it into Syfy. After thinking about it, I came up with a plausible reason why zombies would have laser beams. Thanks Mad Professor!
Just think, winged zombies with military grade (hint hint) laser weapons able to swoop down from above, blast their victims and land on them to start munching away. No where for our female scientist heroines to hide. Oooooooh, so many fresh ideas flowing out of this....
