How does the plumbing still work on the farm??
What causes someone to turn to a zombie? Is it by zombie blood? When Rick and Shane cut their hands on purpose to distracted the zombies, wouldn't that make it a lot easier to get infected?
It also seems pretty risky to drive 18 miles away from camp with no other transportation or ammo. What happens if the car brakes down?
Love the show though.

eerybody is already infected you just have to die then you turn in a zombie
when a zombie bites you you jut die of an infection/fever

Thanks MK, I didn't even realise that was my 2,000th post. What can I say? I get bored at work and soemthing has to keep me occupied.
As for the plumbing ont he farm I think it is all based of of wells and nothing from the city. I base that off the walker the split in half in that well.
As for the ammo gripe I had several posts back I agree with who ever just mentioned that. Rick talking about those things (using knives to conserve ammo, hoarding canned food, finding snowmobiles for the winter, zombies possible slowing down or freezing...) to Shane at least address that side of their new life if only for a moment.
Damn, this season has kicked ***.
Lol, I was thinking about all the people complaining on the forum about the small details when he said that.
Well to me it seems that the show is trying to focus on the reality of it. How people cope and get by. I think foraging, hoarding, building defenses...would a huge part of that. That is something that is just not shown and detracts from what I think they are trying to do. Also just unrealistic.
Any building I went in I would take anything usuable. Examples. All the meds from that pharmacy and not just the morning after pills, and all the booze from the bar.
I think it was just trying to show Rick attempting to prove to Shane he was capable of being a leader of the group.
You are right that is exactly what that scene is about. The show though, at least in my opinion, is trying to show how they think people would really react. If I was on that farm I'd be stock pilling anything and everything, securing the farm against people and walkers and recruiting more people to my group. Send Dale and Glen out on "recruiting trips" while Andrea and Dale gather supplies (gas, guns, seeds, food, medicine, clothes, tools...). Put Rick, Shane, TDog, Lori, Herschel and all the rest to work on divising ways of quickly securing all the windows on the house, reinforcing the barn, building fences...

That's all fine and dandy but they need to find a better safe house than a farm. I'd hate to waste all that effort when it's not that strong of a place to defend. Zombies are stupid and easy to kill so the farm is fine for that reason. But if you run into other humans it's a bad place to be.
Oh I agree. I just used the farm as an example because they are there.
Id go for a prison, wharehouse or military instilation.

so how do the ladies do on that time of the month? use old clothes? tampons? or just let it flow free?
we dont need to get in certain details. for all we know 6 billion people are zobies now. I could live of 2-3 years of what is in the store on the other side of the street. if i want more i could go to their central distribution center. if i want even more i could go to the docks and start opening shipping containers.

I agree, but the shows seems to want to stress how people react and how they survive. To me including more foraging, gathering, hunting plays into that. I just see it as reinfocing what I think they are trying to do with the show.
Either way I am a big fan and it is may favorite show (other then sports it is the only show I will actually sit down and watch)
like a prison
Dutch hit on something earlier that I feel needs more attention. Everybody is already infected, symptoms only manifest themselves once you die.
Shane and Rick discussed the two security guards that they killed not having any wound marks on their bodies and finally decided they must have been infected through a scratch. All of the empty food cans and food containers in the gated area. The fact that there were so many zombies in a gated area. It's like these people holed up in what they considered a safe area locked away from zombies and then started to die of starvation thereby turning into zombies. All of the zombies in the gated area were some of the fastest and "healthiest" zombies yet.
Too add, noway you could cut yourself to attract zombies and then kill them in such a gory manner and not have some of the infected goo enter your system. Look at Rick and Shane when they were driving back to the farm. Granted, some of it was their own blood but lots of it was walker goo.
The farm is one of the best places to be. Secluded enough to fly under the radar but open enough to be able to run all while producing enough food to sustain human life. Everyone saying that they'd hole up in a prison or secure compound is likely signing their own death certificate.
Not if you are smart about it. Alot of prisons grow their own food and have fenced in land. Perfect for farming in a safe enviroment. I don't mean a jail in downtown new york...
Or I'd go live on a remote cabin off in the wods and just fence it in.
