That was probably the best hour of zombie cinema that I have ever seen. Their tactics and cohesion were actually pretty good.
It was nice to see how run down the group was at the beginning of the episode, you can just see how they have been on the run for six months and are tired, dirty and hungry. Also armored zombies :D |

*****Spoiler***** For those that have not seen it yet for whatever reason.
I hate the idea of Zombies waiting in ambush. What the fuck? They walked over the same one a couple of times and he picks his moment to attack. Also, for those that have read my WWZ style story...Rick took my term of endearment, Assholes, and used it as a derogatory.  "These assholes don't stand a chance."

Didn't look like it was playing possum to me, though, as it had several other folks come in easy striking range before Hershel. |

I'd like to see at least flashbacks on what they did during the winter. Wanna know what drove Rick to be how he is with Lori. And the Carol and Daryl thing.
And I wanna know where they got them nice rifles from. Carol from the tower to Rick. "Sorry" I laughed. |

I don't think so. They don't have the brain power to slide open those chan link fences. In theory, it would work against shamblers. I could see if there was a huge wall of bodies, but against the few that were around it would work. Ragers and real people though, not really. |

Love having a zed show but they just seem to be real slow on learning how to deal with them. There is no need to walk amongst fenced-in zombies. Draw 'em to the fence, unplug them, lather, rinse and repeat. Saunter casually through the newly-cleansed level 'til you reach the next door/gate. Open it and haul ass back to your compadres at the fence. Make noise. Do the whole lather, rinse, repeat schtick... Repeatedly.
But maybe that wouldn't make good tv. For all I know that exact method was brought up at the staff/writers meeting and got shot down. 
Still love the show, though.

It seems some become shamblers - walking the countryside, while others at some point become "sleepers". Just sitting in one place till a target comes close enough/make enough noise. IIRC they covered this in some of the interviews when the show first came out. I'd have thought by now they would know to give each corpse an 'anchoring shot' when they go by - I guess Hershal was too focused on finding his daughter to notice. |

The fencing would probably give way before the carbiners, or even the chain between the 2 of them. |

I wouldn't count on chain link holding more than a few back for any length of time. IME the posts are not set deep, and if they are deep enough the posts are thinly walled and will bend where they meet the concrete. All of that only matters if the chain link remains attached to posts.

In the comics Rick identifies the zombies as either "Roamers" or "Lurkers" and I got the impression that zombies who hadn't fed in a while or were prevented from feeding became weak and entered a semi-dormant state. Another example would be the bicycle zombie in S1E1 - she had no legs to chase down food so she became a lurker. |

Michonne is too badass. As in cheesy. That's one of the areas I hoped they would deviate from. Cutting off two zombie heads with a foot and a half swing, come on.....

I think some open minded thinking is in order here. They need Michonne to be a "new" badass to give some toughness back to the show. Darrell is becoming house broken, Shane is gone and won't be challenging Rick's authority, how far can that little dumbass Carl wander off too? and Glenn is too busy busy finger banging Maggie. Someone has to be the new tough-guy and thorn in Rick's side and keep the Blond-bitch; ( can't think of her name), safe.

I've used on before, if you hit anything fairly hard and large (girth wise) with it, it can be easily damaged and stop functioning. a human skeleton plus possible metal objects that may be on their person would utterly destroy that tractor after hitting just a few. it is designed for crops, not bodies, but it does look cool that is for sure.

I'm doubting Rick even becomes aware of Michonne until part way through this season, and even after that I'm not sure how much interaction between the two we will see. |

Yes, finally Rick mans up.It happened a bit different in the comic, but I'm glad to see AMC had the balls to show it at all.And extra credit for throwing that one asshole outside with the walkers.
For all its faults The Walking Dead is still better than 90% of most zombie movies and this season is kicking ass. |
