I think it's all bee said except for the terrible cgi scrap yard and it being the cleanest rubbish in the known universe.

The only reason I am still watching is because Game of Thrones or Rick and Morty isn't on.

(Add Westworld to the list too)

It's embarrassing now, lets just have a great finale with loads of deaths!

This and when the new woman said how they are now opening cans and finding the food inside mouldy! Food in cans keeps for years even decades!

Isn't it possible that a percentage of the canned food was already many years old when civilisation collapsed? All the easily accessible food would have been claimed long ago. So now they'd be searching hidden stashes in basements, storm shelters, etc where cans may have been sitting in storage for years.

When it's just been canned, it has a long storage life .. but a lot of food already out there in cans probably is a few years into that already.

Certainly, in the past I've chucked out some stuff in cans that I had in my cupboards because it had gone well past its use-by date (as in Chicken Curry, 6 months+ past) and I didn't fancy playing roulette with possible bugs. I'd normally not worry about a couple of months though and longer depending on what the food is.

Of course, in a Zombie Apocalypse I'd be a lot less picky ....

Walking Dead T-Shirt withdrawn from sale by Primark because a triggered SJW type finds it "fantastically offensive" and "racially explicit".

Great quote from the 'offended' party: ".. if I were black and were faced by a wearer I would know just where I stood." rolleyes

I saw that earlier, what a joke... bowing to one muppet, even if it is Primark.

When staying at my mum's house for a weekend many years ago, my first wife ate a tin of soup that turned out to be eleven years out of date (yup, eleven). She said it tasted fine.

Mind you, over the following couple of years, she became completely insane, so...

Why would the saviours want to go to a scrapyard? There are actual cars/trucks/machinery which are abandoned littered all over the place - no need for them to scavenge a scrapyard IMO, hence why they'd have ignored it.

At the risk of over-thinking a fictional TV show, am I correct in thinking that 1 series equates to roughly 1 year of series time - I'm sure it used to? I guess the seldom seen Judith is still a babe in arms so perhaps not, Jeez, Coral is 18 in real life, he's only just finding Girls in the show.

There might be more to the scrap yard dwellers, I think (hope) the writers are better than expecting us to assume a 30ish year old Women would change into a monosyllabic cave-women in 3 years or whatever it is.

Did anyone else notice the aircraft flying behind Rick as he stood on top of the scrap pile? You'd assume it was missed by the editor - but the actor who plays him has tweeted about it. A new dynamic based on survivors or shadowy government types with access to aircraft might make a good break from the salvation-big baddie-disaster-salvation-big baddie-disaster cycle.

I noticed it, and given that scene was so badly green-screened, or back-projectioned or superimposed or whatever, you have to assume the plane was put there deliberately.

If somebody created that clip artificially and failed to spot the plane, then I'd expect them to be on teamaking duty for at least the next six months.

That's what I thought. That sort of language shift would take generations not a few years. I thought it was irritating rather than engaging.

Could they not have been some inbred group before the apocalypse and this is just how they are?

They're about 2 1/2 years into the apocalypse in show-time, I think. Didn't notice that aircraft .... Hmmmmm.

Rick's daughter was conceived in the first weeks of the outbreak. She was born in season three, and is now barely a toddler.

I had to rewind it when I thought I saw a plane. I decided it was a mistake, or a badly animated bird. Neither of which reduced my enjoyment of the show.

To be honest, if I disliked it as much as some on this thread, I can't imagine why I'd still be watching it, and then complaining about it. There're better things to do with one's life than persevering with a TV show you don't like.

We've seen 2 other aircraft, helicopter in episode 1 and again a helicopter in series 3 episode 3. There's no reason aircraft can't still be about or used.

Truth is it's only the USA that has been hit with the virus thingy and that plane is the communications aircraft relaying live pictures to the rest of the world. Welcome to.. The Grimes Show. Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

I thought the same, particularly as she said it as if they expected the food to be ok - not like they had found a stash of 50 y/o cans or something.

We are officially in the zone of stretching it out until the finale battle.

I have defended TWD throughout this thread as still being epic. I am struggling here!

Felt as if they just had to find a new group to act as cannon fodder for a massive battle. hopefully they all die in it. Completely unsure why new groups they find an't just be normal. well normalish for america anyhow.
