*****! That's the WORST Scientist I HAVE EVER SEEN! Most of them I encountered are combed, well adjusted and rational, since they are aware, society's gonna put a person in category, if your appearance doesn't conform to certain standards (the exception would be Brain May, he is actually a astrophysicist with his famous pompous hair and a rock guitar). And frankly, why should he know, how the poo started, if even Jenner from CDC didn't cracked it for months! And he had all the equipment e can get, heck he had VI, a talking computer!
This "Scientist" didn't even bother to keep calm, getting the MG out and set the thing on single fire mode - way to waste your bullet, numbnut!
Actually, I saw the series "Extreme Survival" (?), where real scientist and street smarts had to be put in exactly this situation. And the scientists are coming up with real solutions to the problems and they even built a radio from simple spare parts like aluminium foil, car antenna, cables and car batteries.
Sorry, but the scientist with the answer to the world plaque wouldn't have a mullet.
My wife said the same thing.
I think he just wants bodyguards. Maybe he's just a smart gym teacher.
Ditto!
Business in the front, party in the back. I'm smarter than you. Oh really now?..hmm you don't run away from all the zombies. You don't climb into the truck as you see them coming. Spray & pray everything in sight to only hit anything that wasn't a head shot. Took out the truck that we're using. Still stand down in the fielded area with your back to it. Plus have a mullet and it looks like you eat puzzle pieces. Sorry Holmes not buying that for a dollar.
I too have my doubts about the so-called scientist, he looks more like some Crocodile Hunter/Bear Grylis wanna be who can't handle a gun than a scientist. The way he dresses and his haircut reminds me too much of Danny McBride's character in Tropic Thunder to take him very seriously much less believe that he's even remotely as intelligent as he wants everybody to believe much less being some genius scientist who actually knows what caused the zombie outbreak and, presumably, how to cure it. I won't be surprised if we find out that he's a fake and just made up the whole thing about being a scientist with vital knowledge of the zombie virus just to get himself a couple of bodyguards who'll think that it's very important to protect him.
Yeah, hopefully someone with half a brain figures out he's a fake. I would be questioning his motives. And how he survived without even basic shooting skills is beyond me. I mean, he had a freaking sidearm?!
The mullet thing is just pushing the envelope now. My brother is an actual genius, shaved head but wears flip flops and butt ugly shorts everywhere. But a mullet, that dudes faking. His secret is he wants to find some Doritos but is too stoned to even use an M4.
Exactly. There's a show on the Science Channel (in the U.S.) about people who are geniuses. A large portion of them have social issues. I've also had a couple of neighbors who were doctors and they didn't look like they had a penny to their names because of how they dressed.
I'm buying it for now that he's a scientist, but always expecting the worse. I always go over and watch WD with my dad and we were talking and figured that if that scientist was really that important, they'd have a much bigger, heavily armed, convoy to get him to D.C. That way if you lost one truck everyone could get on the next.
I also think the guy that got attacked while Rick was under the bed was just unconscious. Otherwise you'd have to assume that somehow these guys survived this long and haven't figured out that dead people turn. I sure as heck wouldn't go to sleep after I just killed someone without shooting/stabbing them in the head.
Another question is did the toilet zombie Rick created go chasing people around with his pants around his ankles? :lol
Okay, granted. There's no THAT look of a scientist. My professors came in thin, slight fat, bearded, no bearded, tall, short, around the ages of 50, white hair, some are receeding, some are not. But if you start talking with them, you'll get the instant idea,
they know stuff.
But THAT guy - NEVER!
I agree. I mean, what exactly does a genius look like? Someone please give me their description of what a genius looks like? How old are they? What is their hair style? The clothes they typically wear? What's their skin color? Are they American? European? Asian? Are they fat? Thin? Athletic? The fact that someone looks a certain way doesn't mean they are a certain way unless they say otherwise (in the case of this guy, if its true that he's not a genius, they could very well be setting it up for a conflict later).
As for the toilet zombie, I guess he probably does, unless the guy took off one of his pants legs (which would be odd).
