A couple things that have kind of gotten buried this season that I would like to see resolved are:

Why did Rick stop the radio communication to the man (was his name Morgan?) and his son from Rick's first day in the zombie-filled world? I wonder what happened to them. Also Merle, but I care less about Merle than the man and his son.

What did Jenner tell Rick at the end of last season? He whispered something in his ear. Web speculation was that he told him that Lori was pregnant, but that was shot down in Rick's first radio broadcast to Morgan in the first episode of this season, where he almost tells Morgan something important he had learned at the CDC, but then thought better of it and didn't say anything over the radio. His wife being pregnant would mean nothing to Morgan, so that wasn't it. What did Jenner tell him?

Jenner told him that everyone is already infected and that it doesn't take a bite to turn somebody, just dying; hence, The Walking Dead. This is just my speculation. The episode description for Sunday's finale says that "secrets are told". I have to think that Rick informs everyone what Jenner said.

Probably off screen. kinda useless to dedicate 1-2 minutes per ep just updating that man on radio. stuff we already know and such.

Yeah, I know. But they could use it as a means to get into the characters. Have them take turns and then you can hear things that they would not otherwise tell each other as they ramble on to the faceless "Morgan".

"Hi Morgan. If you are out there we are near a farmhouse now. They keep walkers in the barn, but no one is supposed to know. I cannot tell you how much I am feeling for Rick, and Shane. It is on my mind every day. I am more and more attracted to them every day and dream about a 3-way that I know won't ever happen. Well, I can dream can't I? Oh, by the way, my name is Glenn."

More than that, I am just curious if they are going to bring them back or let us know what happened to them.

No Glenn is one of my favorite characters, along with Darrell. But in that context Glenn came across as funnier than one of the women would have. Dale would have probably worked too. Darrell would probably have been best for comedic purposes though, now that I think about it. Glenn is just the first name that came to mind.

later rick meets up with the guy turns out his son also has been turned. but he locks his zombie son up in the room. and the guy has gone completely nots. dont recall what happend to his zombie wife though if he finally got the guts to shoot her or not. (might not happen in the tv series though)
 
Glenn is my favorite character. I feel like I would be a lot like Glenn if I was ever thrust into a zombie apocalypse.
 
Here's my problems with the show....

Have we yet heard how this zombie outbreak started? Maybe I missed the explanation.

Rick wakes up, get the all the information about what's going on, and then heads to Atlanta to find his family. He obviously gets stuck in the Abrams and Glenn has to save his life through the radio. Maybe the Abram's is out of fuel or something. It also is probably not some simple thing to operate, but why doesn't he try to use it to crush zombies? Seems like an easy enough solution to his problems. Maybe they can get away with it by using those two possibilities(lack of fuel and or doesn't know how it operates).

My next issue:

Rick leaves his bag of guns on the street when fleeing the zombies... Rick and company want to retrieve these guns yet there is a Ma Deuce nearby that is fully functional and has ammo. Also there are likely other military weapons found around that site and even around the CDC building. What sense does it make to want the bag of weapons he grabbed from the police station? That's not even mentioning how Rick and Glen covered themselves in zombie meat and blood to walk through hordes of zombies on the street? Why not do the same thing and collect weapons?

Why doesn't the group as a whole build a compound in which they are not only safe, but can gather medicine, food, and weapons? They obviously would build such a place where they could find a clean well or two. Not necessarily on Hershel's property. Why did it take them so long to start training some of these people? Personally, I would have built this army sooner and went out into zombie hunting parties. Just my take.

Like any show, I get that you aren't always going to get a logical solution to problems that may come up. I just think this show goes too far in the opposite of logic. Seriously, look at what they and then consider yourself in their shoes. What would you do? This is the main reason that this show to me is becoming bland.

all those military vewhicles requiere a **** load of fuel. mostly in wars. there is support vehicles who supply fuel.
not really a good idea to drive those mil vehicles. now ransacking those vehicles for weapons/grenades/mortars. thats pretty stupid some grenades would be handy

Getting a better arsenal would be stupid? Seriously? Military vehicles like an Abrams do require more fuel. That being said, they are impenetrable by these zombies. It only makes sense to get one and use it for transportation.

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

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.
