Ok. Shows how much attention i pay. I do start off paying attention then melodrama happens and my eyes glaze over and just surf the web til a zombie scene .
Can we just link to this post the next time you argue against the entire thread why xzy didn't make sense, because when you "watched" the show, it actually was just on the TV in the next room and you played a video game? I'm only watching this on a small window at work, being distracted while working and I understood it right away what he meant by infected.
On the episode, the show still has it's downs and it's abyss downs.
freshly risen flu zombie gets to walk out of his cell? They just stopped locking those doors as the people got worse?
then they just pile out?
Then Rick teaches Carl how to waste as much ammunition as possible. ignoring that, is that actually how these assault rifles work? Hold Trigger for burst? The G3 and G36 I used had two different non-safety settings on the safety flip, one for single shot and one for full auto. I thought all ARs worked that way.
But hey, that's how the assault rifles in Left 4 dead work, which is probably their source material for zombie combat.
and then the final ugh
What is she tripping over? Why even show a close up of her tripping over nothing? It's amazing how in a show called The WALKING dead, the living characters are too stupid to walk when it counts. Three options
Have her trip, don't show a close up
Have her trip over something in a close up
Have her trip over nothing in a close up
They chose the worst option.
The fact that they're also hardly ever killing off someone who isn't past of the "new guys" doesn't help with suspension. Rick was taken down by a zombie at the fence? ah no worries, he's not gonna die like a red shirt. Michonne gets wrestled to the ground because she wants to choke a zombie? She'll be fine.
But red shirts die so suddenly. Zach gets grabbed and bitten by a zombie who was in the very spot D'angelo was pulled out of two seconds earlier. That zombie had some mad crawling skillz.
Am I the only one dreading the governor's return? What an annoying character.
He was un-fucking-bearable last season. Knowing he'll also shit on S04 isn't helping.
Oh hey, let's spend 8 hours propping up the fence with logs instead of 45 minutes stabbing them in their paper mache heads to kill EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE FOREVER.
I also think the fence issue is incredibly contrived, but killing them apparently doesn't solve it. See, after 8:00 minutes they despawn if not looted and after 29 minutes and 45 seconds they respawn. There may be a rare spawn with a common drop and a rare drop, but it hasn't spawned yet and they've been camping prison fence for a few months now it has to be some really great loot. That's why you don't see the corpses slowly piling up, that's why there's always the same number of zombies. I've tried to come up with another explanation why a prison in the middle of nowhere with only tiny hamlets and villages around it would have a year long infinite stream of fresh zombies at their gate for months and years. But this is the best I can do.
and those are some shitty terribad logs if they break apart in the center because pressure is applied to the top.
But it's not all bad. I really liked that they actually had to find batteries for the car. I'm pretty used to the deterioration of tech being ignored in zombie media at this point, such as gasoline in the abandoned cars still being good after 20 years in TLOU, so it was nice to see this actually realistic depiction of equipment deterioration. Maybe next time they'll get it right that tires would be flat after such a long time of the car not having been moved.
