The Walking Dead

[gunsmith]

guys in the tanks probably picked up wounded comrades who later bit them, Avatar was only meant to be watched on IMAX 3D, any other way it is incredibly clichéd boring tripe.

Speaking of Zombies, I had a dream the other night that I was one!  Very strange, I was in a doorway because I knew that I had lived there before and hid behind a door to bite an old friend or family member ( didn't know who exactly but hey, I was a Zombie it was understandable) I bit them on the head, tasted like chicken. mmmmmmm brains

Avatar, clichéd boring tripe. bull, it couldn't rise to "clichéd boring tripe" with the help of God almighty.

[Pharmacology]

Ah, that does make sense.

It is a great show, though; I've been following it closely.

Put chain link across the top of a railrod cut or something.

Pile brush and soak with flammables or just let dry out.

Lure dead in bunches to cut til they stack up.

Close bottom end.

Burn, rinse, repeat.

same deal but chained in yard.  lure dead in one entrance go out other.  close entrance behind.  kill at leisure.

I think the original NOLD had it right.  Once you figure out what is going on, the threat outside confined areas is pretty low.

Oh.  Biker guy could have been working on getting the hacksaw to cut the small piece of all-thread the minute the cop left.

Instead he chose to sit there raging like an idiot rather than acting.

Dumb people deserve what they get.

I think what they were trying to portray is that he was too dumb to figure it out.  He got desperate and begged God to show him the answer, and if God did he'd change his ways.

God showed him the tools, and he immediately took credit for figuring it out all by his brilliant self and told God to buzz off; that he didn't need him.

He'll have payback coming for that one!

Spider monkeys are a REAL threat , zombies are still hypothetical.

Hypothetical, for now anyway. This biological defense lab they are bringing to Manhattan, Ks. gives me the willies. Gotta wonder just what is going to go on behind those closed doors. This is how all the zombies in all the movies I've seen become zombies, from some defense department screwup. Haven't you all seen the Grindhouse films?

I watched the last three episodes last night. One of the characters that stood out to me was Darryl. When he was introduced I was expecting a stereotypical white trash redneck. However I was pleasantly surprised to see through his actions he was more of an archtypical Celtic warrior. Brash and loudmouthed to be sure, but not stupid. Maybe a little foolhardy but very skilled with his weapons.

Catching up on some episodes right now.  Just watched them try to get the zombie out of the well.

Why aren't they making better use of the horse?  Why was the rope wrapped around the rusty pipe to begin with? They had the horse and the pipe over the well. 

When the zombie got stuck... why didn't they poke the head with a nail on a stick then pull it up from the pants wearing some gloves? 

The Incompetent Living seems an apt title for the show more oft than not. 

Had it been me dealing with that situation... tarp with 4 weights on the corner and a rope to one.  Once down and around the zombie, spin a few times then pull up... I'd probably use a pickup truck for greater control than the horse, or maybe even salvage for an actual winch.  A well is pretty important and that thing being down for a few more hours isn't apt to do much more harm.  Then of course bleach the crap out of the water.  I hear that fixes all problems with wells

Always remember the 7 Ps.

Ned, Ned, Ned...

You know full well that most of us had similar reactions. However, effective anti-zombie tactics (and better interpersonal skills, for that matter) would give the writers very little to do, and make for very short programming.

Reviving an old thread I see . . .

As for what Ned wrote, the best commentary I've seen on this show stated that while people actually do stupid things, it gets old when they do nothing but stupid things. Over . . . and over . . . and over. 

I'm almost to the point of rooting for the zombies . . .

[Ned Hamford]

I was rooting for the zombie when the guy was dangling in the well.  I mean, what a lucky break for a stuck in a well zombie right?

As for later in that episode... you know what I find sexy?  A properly secured [and cushioned] environment.

If the writers are so dumb and unoriginal they can only write about dysfunctional morons, they should seek out jobs outside fiction. Perhaps switch to writing gossip columns.

I had a funny feeling that when they abandoned his brother on top of the department store something like that was going to happen.

Or, he was going to kill them all. But that would have cut the series right there.

Well, after the series was cancelled, the writers of the new Battlestar Galactica series had to find a new gig . . .
