Walking Dead

The whole point of the show is that its not just a zombie movie, but a story about how people cope with the zombie apocalypse beyond just survival (including the group dynamics\drama you dont want). They stayed on the farm because they believed it to be safe, and if a massive herd from atlanta hadnt been brought by that helicopter, it mightve stayed safe... they still managed to take out a pretty large amount of walkers, probably wouldve taken out most other groups of walkers that we've seen so far.
Says the guy posting in a thread about a show he apparantly doesn't like.:skeptical:
I actually disagree with this in every way possible. Oddly enough the final episode (in my opinion) wasn't as good as the three previous. I started watching the show from the first episode for one reason, zombies destroying everything. I am hooked on the show for the human element. Yes, thousands of zombie hoards is pretty cool but not in every episode. Too much of that would just be white noise and the show would get old fast.
Do you guys constantly think of ways to kill large numbers of walkers now like I do?

Yeah, I think this is what set her off, that her own flesh and blood had to kill someone he once idealized as a hero, and the mental trauma that would do to Carl. She was quite an unsympathetic character this episode; I found myself hoping she would turn into a zombie appetizer once she started freaking out looking for Carl and just making things worse for everyone.
So that was the infamous prison in the background during the very last scene?
Ya, I keep thinking how stupid these people must be to not defend themselves better against large herds of slow moving, mindless walkers.
A little barb wire would go a long way.
Absolutely. I think I'd go with the Spartacus double sword philosophy with a backup pistol just in case.
I would have either reinforced the fence around the farm or dug a trench around the house. or both. These zombies are slow and stupid, they aren't like the ones on "I am Legend".
My idea would be a huge fire pit. Set up some sort of fencing as a funnel with blood trail and bait leading up to the edge of a huge fire pit. They would simply fall in in and be incinerated. You would have to make it one heck of a big, hot fire though.
One or two arent so bad, but a ton of lumbering dead weight will take you out quickly. Barbed wire would only hold for so long until the sheer mass of bodies would topple it. I would think concrete walls are the only luck you would have and they would have to be thick.
Believe it or not, you have to be good with a sword in order to use it effectively. Plus they arent just laying around.
I'm not saying it should be all action, but the action should include them doing something proactive not just sitting around arguing and creating drama. How about learning to defend themselves without guns?
I realize they feel no pain, but the point is on small farm, they are somewhat limited in what materials they have. Barb wire is probably pretty available, and would certainly at least slow them down significantly. Even if you take pain completely out of the equation, you can't just walk through barb wire.
They could eventually push through, but that would have given you a lot of time, not to mention a bottleneck to kill many of them.
Barriers could be a much bigger ally than even firearms against walkers.
