The Walking Dead

This show should end
 
This show should end

Picked up for a 7th season.

So only one character gone... But we will see her again as a walker I think. She used all her bullets.

Disappointed that the Carl v. Pete's kid fizzled out. Someone should have died. Amy's kids bother need to die. One is saying "mom" as they walk thru the walkers. That will end badly. Hope it ends with the walkers eating the kids face off.

So there are what? 6 mini cliff hangers? Keep in mind that Glenn, Enid, Daryl, Abraham and Sasha are outside Alexandria. Disappointed Jesus wasn't introduced.
 
So, speaking of people that get killed by walkers...

What determines when THEY become a walker, and when they are just a corpse?

I've seen plenty of instances in this show when someone gets gutted/eaten and they don't become a walker.

If they get enough of their guts eaten, does that mean they don't turn into a walker? Is that the deal? Hmmmm.

I think they all turn, but some are more handicapped than others (depending on how much they are eaten). I guess most people are infected through bites and they get away, so they are full able walkers, and most aren't actually fully captured and eaten.

When? Anyone that dies for any reason becomes a walker. Unless they brain is stabbed/crushed or otherwise destroyed. That is why they stab all the bodies in the head. The ones that don't actually show that have it implied IMO.

What's-her-name's parents (the JSS girl)

That's the only ones I can think of off the top of my head right now
 
Just went through the Fear the Walking dead episodes and we loved them. It felt really good to watch regular humans getting shocked by the inevitable fact that is spreading across the land and feeling helpless once again. In the real series, the heroes are so damn skilled at getting rid of the zombie threat that this new world of people felt a lot more exciting. They should multiple these kinds of series. It's way more exciting to see what happens to regular people's life in the process of the zombie apocalypse than watching a handsome redneck crossbowing the **** out of the entire world.


A question to the more knowledged:

Why do the word "zombie" not get pronounced even once in the series the Walking Dead? I always wondered this.

One of the pleasures of watching AMC’s new “Walking Dead” aftershow — “Talking Dead” — is the chance for fans to get answers to questions that one. “Walking Dead” comics creator and TV series producer Robert Kirkman answered it on Sunday.
In the world of “The Walking Dead,” he said, the concept of zombies doesn’t exist.
“One of the things about this world is that people don’t know how to shoot people in the head at first, and they’re not familiar with zombies, per se,” Kirkman said on “Talking Dead.” “This isn’t a world the (George) Romero movies exist, for instance … because we don’t want to portray it that way, we felt like having them be saying ‘zombie’ all the time would harken back to all of the zombie films which we, in the real world, know about.
“So by calling them something different, we’re kind of giving a nod to … these people don’t understand the situation. They’ve never seen this in pop culture, this is a completely new thing for them.”
Another Kirkman nugget: Animals can’t become walkers/zombies. Only humans.
 
Thanks a lot lefty. That makes perfect sense. My wife is so scared to see a walker baby in one of those scenes. Maybe it is a taboo to the writers.

You're welcome!

I believe the closest they've come was the little girl in the first scenes of the Series opener (who picked up the stuffed animal), and Carol's daughter on the farm. Those are the youngest walkers I've seen.

There is also a young girl walker on the freeway among the broken down cars that Rick kills.

I read a zombie book once and this group of survivors stop at this rest stop and there is a broken down school bus. Well a kindergarten class has been on a field trip and gotten killed when the apocalypse hit. So in the woods were all these 5 year old zombies. The survivors go to a nearby river and the zombie kids come out and attack them. Kill 2 of the 5 I think.

I remember reading it and being like "oh crap! little zombies!" In Zombie literature and movies you really don't see little/baby zombies that much.
 
The remake of Dawn of The Dead in 2004 had a zombie baby (the mom got bit and turned shortly before giving birth).

Also in the TV show Z Nation, the first episode has one (but that TV show is trying to be cheesy/funny in a over the top on purpose kinda way).

As far as The Walking Dead, I chalk it up to a couple of things, a baby is very small so it's easy to imagine it gets eaten like Lauri did, also even if not their skulls are still very soft so in the scuffle it is also easy to see the brain getting damaged. Lastly it is a bit of a heavy and sad subject that they probably just don't want to show.

Oh and I also put it in the same category as why there are no hot naked woman zombies.

You forgot Governors daughter.
 
So yeah, wtf. Maggie comes along for a war mission for what reason? Doesnt really make sense why she would come, was super obvious she was going to get captured. Just doesnt make any sense as something Rick would sign off on. A solid episode of murdering ruined by a dumb plot device that defies the characters.
 
God damn, kill Abraham too please. The dude serves up so many cringe worthy lines every episode and I'm starting to just fast-forward through all his scenes.
