Did you watch?

For a show on a non premium cable channel, I thought it was very good. I never read the comic, so I don't know how it compares, but I'll be watching every Sunday. pisses me off that I don't get AMC in HD though.

I know, it's getting kind of old honestly. The dramatic effect has worn off but they don't get it.
I don't remember that in the beginning...have they ALWAYS played up the "sneaky" Walkers? I thought I could remember the beginning of the show had more "ohh crap, we walked into a hoard" rather than "Ohh crap, they sneaked around and now make all sorts of noise and I can't get away!!!

I can't tell if it just started to bother me, or if they just started to do that (and just so happen to do it EVERY show now)

I kept thinking of a really old movie, Soylent Green where the earth ran out of food and they coaxed humans into thinking it was paradise they were going to, Nope- they became the food. I think this is the move..maybe Roddy McDowell.

anyway, all I am saying is "claimed" LMAO
Soylent Green, starring Charlton Heston.

I'm wondering how well it will work out if I go up to a good looking blonde, grab her butt and yell "CLAIMED!" Rofl2

Greenbelt already broke the spoilers...don't roll your eyes at me, boy.



And a place with THAT many signs that is drawing the attention of already 20-30 people that we are following, would be a HUGE community you'd think. There would be people everywhere in that courtyard like there was in Woodburry. The fact that there is just one lady running a grille was enough to leave me incredibly suspicious of her.

I'm sure there is some saying that goes with "when you see a sign that says to lower your weapon, raise your gun" but I don't have it pinned down yet.

holy crap... EEK! just the discussions reminded me of that old movie because I did not think that is where it is going. oh boy

But seriously...Daryl is stalking a rabbit...and doesn't hear a human walking up 5 feet behind him? laugh out loud

This is the same Daryl that flung the door wide open maybe two episodes ago to a horde of zombies "thinking" it was that damn dog...


It's probably something silly like cannibals, but really, they found pigs at the prison, Daryl manages to find game, when you're outnumbered 5000:1 by the enemy that dines on the living, does it really make sense to wholesale dine on the living? Situational cannibalism, I could see, like stocking the pantry with the occasional random stranger to make it through the winter, but not where it looks like this is going...

That is a good point...how long would a person last a person...haha. How long would it take a group of, say, 5 people to eat 1 person? Think it would be enough meat to last a week?

Random thoughts...
But that is a good point with the 5000:1...Human meat would be a delicacy; not something you could make your only source of nutrition [Again, there'd only be ~75k people left in the states]. In two years, without anything keeping the deer population in check [obviously there are deer in Georgia, they have shown them multiple times] that alone would balloon up, you'd see them everywhere. After some quick research I'd bet you humans account for ~6-7 Million deer a year in the US (between hunters and cars) so it wouldn't be crazy to say there'd be at least an extra 100k running around Georgia just after 1 missed hunting season.

EDIT...actually probably more than I thought!

That reminds, me, how long is that dead rabbit carcass gonna keep in a garbage bag? I know field dressing does a little to keep it from spoiling, but a tiny hunk of meat like that doesn't seem to leave a lot of margin for spoilage in Georgia temps...

Good point...I assumed Daryl ate his ass half for breakfast/lunch (basically, cooked it up the next time they had a fire; had they had a fire since he shot it?). But for the dude to plant the head and Daryl to just go to sleep once they found it; he was going 24+ hrs without doing anything with it...

I guess cooking it would go a long way to killing anything that would go bad in ~24 hours though....right?

Keep in mind that it's cold enough for Abraham and others to wear jackets.

And then she was wearing a full jacket and pants in the latest episode. Dontknow

I swear, this show's concept of time and other laws is outrageous.

Best example: S4 midseason finale showdown. The Gov: "You have maybe an hour until sundown.." yet the entire split-up crew moseys along for a few hours in bright daylight after the fight, lol.
