I said that a few weeks back after terminus.
You'd have though after 2 years on the road they'd be 100s of miles away but no. Instead of being in the florida keys and blocking off a bridge to survive they got in a car without a lot of petrol and drove to Atlanta.
Yeah there's a modified Google Map showing the routes they've all traveled and the places they've been - it's literally a big loop.You'd have though after 2 years on the road they'd be 100s of miles away but no. Instead of being in the florida keys and blocking off a bridge to survive they got in a car without a lot of petrol and drove to Atlanta.
But in saying that, I like Atlanta, and the big city environment more than woods and tiny towns.. I think it'd be more like a video game story if they all based up in the city somewhere, hand to defend against different gangs of survivors across rooftops, and do supply runs and stuff through the underground and sewers.

Just watched it, felt slightly annoyed that having watched 57 episodes, starting from Atlanta on what has felt like an epic journey, Carol and Darryl just nipped back there after a quick drive.
They've literally got nowhere, despite spending quite a bit of time heading north.

Seems to be a necessary prerequisite of zombie scenarios that the undead are not good to eat. I mean, the USA has wolves, coyotes, bears and mountain lions, not to mention domestic dogs, zoo animals and alligators and sharks, none of which would be likely to turn their noses up at a bit of largely defenceless, stupid, walking rotting flesh.
A mass cull of the zombies would be pretty easy
All they need to do is direct loud noises (fireworks/bells etc) to a certain point, then once zombies are in specific area they could bomb/shoot or set fire to literally hundreds or thousands of them at a time.
If there is still part of an army (with large resource of weapons and ammo) then this would be very easy indeed.
You would just have to make sure that anyone that dies thereafter is destroyed before turning ?

I thought it was a good episode. Slow burner for sure.
That being said, I still wonder where exactly is Walking Dead heading as a series. Since last weeks reveal that Eugene has no cure and the mission to DC was pointless, we are effectively back to square one of: food runs, rambling aimlessly on the road, kill a few zombies, meet bad people, kill bad people, repeat. The show in my opinion desperately needs an end game. I thought DC may have been it but now feel a bit cheated that that was a lie.
I agree. It's been like that since the prison! The prison itself went on too long anyway. It just feels so laboured now, and yet, the group is completely split up again so the story cannot really move on. I can only hope that once they are all back in Atlanta after fThat being said, I still wonder where exactly is Walking Dead heading as a series.

king st up in the hospital, that the 2nd half of the this season has a very clear objective and it moves with some pace.Probably won't happen though. It's time for me to read the comics I think.

I'm going to spoil WWZ for anyone who hasn't read or seen it so I'll put it in spoilers!All they need to do is direct loud noises (fireworks/bells etc) to a certain point, then once zombies are in specific area they could bomb/shoot or set fire to literally hundreds or thousands of them at a time.

In WWZ they apply this approach but completely underestimate the number of zombies. They attract the zombies out of new york and end up killing a couple thousand of them but even then more and more come attracted by the noise. They do bomb them but since basically bombs these days rely on concussion damage to kill a target they don't kill the zombies unless its a direct hit. Tanks are next to useless because they take up so much resources to run but much like bombing are useless unless they score a direct hit on a zombie. Then take into account the soldiers are trained to score body shots which would kill a human but do nothing to a zombie coupled with the fact that after a bombing they're now much smaller crawling targets hidden by the masses of standing z's advancing on your position, it might not be as easy as we think it would be.

Even then a small unit such as artillery could wipe out thousands at a time, with the above suggested method, then six guns fire for effect on a full regimental scale, putting down 30-40 HE rounds a minute, from 25m away, wouldn't take long

I liked this far too much.The thing is though, I'm still not sure they would cope with the over whelming numbers. Yes a jaguar could tear apart a Zombie quick, but what about when 60 walk at it at once? It wouldn't expect it or be able to cope with it imo.
