ok. and the guys driving the fuel support vehicle are just screwed.

because all the sound the tank makes. it wil surely atrect zombies. so screw the people in the support vehicle.it does have a silent mode which uses more fuel if i'm not mistaken
top speed 45 miles an hour.
fuel capacity 500 gallons while using 0.6 miles per gallon;. not to mention some of those use jet fuel. asuming they could drive it.
and maintance is a bitch. yeah go ahead and rvie a tank in a zombie apocalypse

Glenn's sports car with the alarm blaring would cause just as much sound as an Abrams. With your estimates of .6 MPG they would have a range of 300 miles. There would be no need for a support fuel truck if that is accurate. My point still standing, there are military grade weapons on the street and they instead choose to go with the police station weapons.... Very dumb.

I don't see how any of your ideas are logical, at all.

1. How do you know the Abrams wasn't already out of fuel? If it wasn't, then why did the people who were previously inside it have to leave? Even if it was, Rick probably had no idea to drive it. Driving it would only lead to hordes of zombies following him. He would eventually have to evacuate the vehicle, and the zombies would know were he was.

2. Covering yourself in zombie meat is risky. Any sneeze or cough would make it clear to the zombies you are in fact human.

3. Building a compound sounds easy enough, but the group has been set on moving towards a destination to find others. Building something would be time consuming.

4. How do you train an army when you are constantly moving about? It's not like you can be constantly wasting ammo on target practice when you are actively escaping zombies. Not to mention firing guns probably attracts attention of zombies, something they wouldn't feel safe doing any random place.

5. Zombie hunting parties? Why? There is no possible way they are going to eliminate all the zombies from an area. Attempting to do so would be a waste of time and unnecessary endangerment.

1. I said that maybe the Abrams was out of fuel. If it was, then it was a logical explanation. He certainly doesn't know how to drive it. There were hordes of zombies around him already(He should have died realistically) and the Abrams was likely his only option out.

2. They were whispering to each other with zombie juice on. I think that should have been a dead giveaway.

3. They went to the CDC to find their own sanctuary. Jenner pretty much told them the world as far as he knew was dead. Fort Benning was and is a pipe dream. Does it take a lot of work and time to build a compound? Yes. But they certainly can scrounge up the materials to do so and it is by far the best idea and most logical.

4. Right now they are stuck on Hershel's farm waiting for the zombies to get out of the barn. The real question should have been how do you teach these people to shoot when they are limited in ammo. Somehow they did that. This in turn makes you wonder why they didn't stock up on the plethora of weapons outside the CDC. Especially the Ma Deuces at the checkpoints.

5. They need a purpose other than just surviving. Killing off zombies would be a good purpose. I am not saying that should go hand to hand combat on them. I am saying they should find a nice little tower to snipe zombie after zombie. Are there still going to be a world full of zombies? Sure. But not as many in that area.

Overall, this show lacks logic and the only thing worse than that is the personal relationships it continues to try to push. I don't care about Dale and Andrea. She comes off as bitchy to be honest. I don't care about Rick and his wife's possible child. The sub plots are boring. Anyway, I will probably save myself the time and energy and just quit watching it altogether.
 
Ya it's pretty dumb. I'm the master of suspending logic but this show pushes too far. I need to stop but I love me some zombz.

not saying tehy shouldnt get weapons. just saying the tank is not a good idea. and some of those thanks need jet fuel. good luck with finding 500 gallons of jetfuel every 300 miles orso

Again, it depends where they go. If they have an airfield somewhere at least close by then they will be fine with the jet fuel and turbine engines. We can at least agree that they shouldn't leave Ma Deuces lying around or military grade arms. Maybe the show can be saved. It just seems to be dragging on at this point.

Ma Deuces are bulky and aren't really practical for travel though, or Zombie killing because you aren't guaranteed head shots.

They are good for foxholes etc. One could be mounted on top of Dale's RV with some work. You have a point that you can't sit there and rack up multiple head shots with a Ma Deuce. You can however subdue a zombie attack with one. There were M16's and or M4's lying around outside of the CDC and they didn't grab a single one. I am probably just tired of the storyline like I said. Hershel's farm has been beyond boring.

Yeah, that would be useful if they could mount it to the RV. They just seem like the would bring more trouble than good. Extremely loud and just attract attention. m16 and m4's would be great though.
 
some hand grenades would be handy when running away from hordes. just pull pin and drop em every 5-10 meters. while those zombies chase you
 
The biggest gap in logic to me is the fact that after about 6 months the zombies would be decomposed past the point where they could move a body around. A year tops. All they have to do is wait that long in one semi-secure place until all the zombies rot away, since they are all dead anyway. Then all they will have to contend with are a bunch of zombie heads that might be making chewing motions with what remains of their jaw muscles.

start all over like adam and eve :D.
 
but they adressed the decompising in talking dead. saying that the series is only good for 6 months to 1 years tops. that why the show is dragging. so far they only been on the farm a few days
 
Anyone think that the group will actually take over the farm from the locals? I could see Shane leading a charge to do that, plus they have the artillery to do so.

This show is starting to grate my nerves. The most interesting plot line at this point is "Can Glenn get laid twice?" and that is a problem. The discovery of the Zombie Farm is interesting, but I'm guessing it will turn out as a religious thing.

Will they find the girl? Yes, she is in the Zombie Barn.

Will Meril appear? No, he will just be a constant voice in Darryl's head tempting him to betray Shane and Rick.

Is it Shane or Rick's baby? Clearly it is Shane's. I think she will tell him about it in a moment of near death, then survive.


ALSO, does anyone else find the actor who plays Rick to be **************************************** terrible?

Knew she was in that damn barn.

Looks like next season will focus on the growing tension between everyone and Shane. He is going bat **** crazy and has an unhealthy obsession with Lori.
 
It was damm amazing this episode.
they managed to humanize the walkers.
if i was gay or a chick i probably would have cried at the ending scene killer bloodbath spree
 
I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
