The only bummer was the last few minutes. Without giving a spoiler, I hope the person who looks like they might die, doesn't. I like that character.

they have a big map of the area, that they have been using for a while it seems, and the prison isn't on it?
I would think you would investigate any place that has supplies/guns

& last season ending, why do they run out of gas surrounded by abandoned vehicles full of gas? & they are still using the same cars?
they didn't modify something into a zombie killer/transport vehicle by now?

They didn't _____ by now?
A. Make zombie armor
B. find more guns (frack, they made/found suppressors?!)
C. Find more ammo
D. Smack Lori enough to knock some sense into her
E. wash their clothes
F. Move more than a few miles? (the prison was nearby then..and now?)

I mean, seriously, they have enough Z killin' XP now that little Carl is a veritable zombie slayer, but none of the above?

So first i read premiers as plumbers. Then I see the word "minuet" and "31", look back to discover it''s premier not plumber so niow I'm thinking it's about someone premiering some 31 minuets. Then I see "Walking Dead" and realize, finally, that it's about zombies. Now, how cool is that?  :cool:

They addressed some of that.

A. I don't understand that either.

B. They have. Carol had a folder AK. But, as Hershel said, they are running dangerously low on ammunition. I still don't understand why they've not switched to .22s. Generally more readily available ammo and a lot quieter.

C. See above.

D. I still don't see why her character is the lightning rod for everyone's anger. For example, most people, when presented with the list that you've laid out, will look at it and then scream at the top of their lungs "IT'S ALL THAT STUPID BITCH LORI'S FAULT! FRAG HER! FRAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THE ALBATROSS!"

Hell, Herschel had walkers in his barn, thought they were sick, and everyone looks at that and goes "Oh, Ok,I can see why he would do that."

Had Lori done it? "FRAG THE BITCHY ALBATROSS!"

E. Dirt makes convincing television.

F. They covered that in the show. They have been scavenging house to house, and there are apparently also numerous herds of walkers that they've been dodging.


Just for grins and giggles I did some mental math... Say 10% of the US population has survived. Given how the story is laid out I think that is really generous...

That's 35 million survivors.

But it's over 300,000,000 zomies.

Is it any wonder that they keep running short on ammo?

Lori did have some sense smacked into her - she's now (apparently) making headshots on zombies at some respectable distance with her little revolver, and she's no longer hysterical about her kid carrying and using a gun.  :O

Thing is, when they were going through the prison and bypassing the "dead" zombies without making sure they were down for the count, I knew - I mean, I just KNEW - someone was going to get bit.

It's only one show in, but if not smacking her, Rick must have done something. She was behaving herself and acting pretty subservient. Maybe it's that she's into bad boys and Rick looks to have become a tough guy.  :laugh:

I'm with Mike. Lori's done some stupid crap, but so have the other characters, and I don't understand the whole "damn Lori, it's all her fault" thing. She's no better or worse than any of the others. And I don't think she was acting subservient, I think she was acting like a woman who's a month or so away from giving birth to God knows what. The character I'm liking most at the moment is Darryl.

Good job on the suppressors - especially now that they're in a building with cement walls. It'll be a miracle if they're not all deaf when they get out of there. Good to see also that they're making use of the body armor.

I do understand the clothing thing - in the winter, wearing wet clothes until they dry would be a death sentence. What I don't understand is why, with all the creeks/lakes around, they couldn't wash their hands/faces.

Good episode though.

Eh, NIJ Lvl-III or IV helmets are few and far between, and since head shots are the only ones that count I don't see it as that big of an issue. Get some AR's, slap cans on them and go to town.

Okay so by and far EVERY house they have entered has zombies.  Each time they enter and search a house for ammunition and more guns they face more risk.
Beyond that, anyone who survived to the point of realizing that they need to start popping zombies would have consumed ammunition.
Most people don't have stores and stores of ammo in their house.  I'd venture to guess the average person on APS represents maybe 5% of the country (WAG, but judging by what I know about my nearest 6-10 neighbors....might be an overestimate).
Herds of zombies roaming sometimes in the hundreds.  That's certainly another problem.

As an APS representative example...

Loaded cartridges:
~1,400 7.62mm NATO
~1,050 7.62x39mm
~1,000 9mm
~800 5.56mm NATO
~500 7.62x54mmR
~500 .45ACP
~200 .30-06
~100 .50BMG
~50 .300WM

Components for:
1,200 150gr .308" FMJBT
500 77gr .224" SMK OTM
300 230gr .452" LRN
150 650gr .510" API


....oh, and 8,000+ of .22LR  :P

If they stumbled across my apartment (assuming I had to GTFO without my entire cache) they'd be set for a while.
