So, if he can just hotwire a vehicle when ever he wants why was it important that the keys were available for the truck? End of my nitting.

The timeline for partner/wife doesn't bother me, I mean we are talking about several weeks/a month in the hospital and the same recovering in the house after the guy and boy took him in.

I think it was mentioned that the zombies move a little faster when chasing food, their speed is increased but not to an unbelievable amount. I think it is well done.

It would kind of please me if we never see the redneck guy again, a surprise twist where he actually dies on the roof.

lol my wife said the same thing

i thought this for a split second but you don't need that actor for that

No one is ever safe in a horror/zombie movie. I just assumed everyone knew that applied here. Im genuinely surprised that the black guy runnin to the van didn't die in that moment. Some minor character is due for a grizzly death soon.

lol

my nit is that they are like "hey don't get any on your skin" and then they are all there standing within 3 feet of a guy savagely hacking a body with an axe.

So then they smear it all over themselves, with body parts hanging round their necks and next thing you see is them crawling on the ground. You're not going to get any on your skin, yeah right.

in the walking dead universe thriller was about vampires or werewolves ldo

One thing I've always wondered about zombie flicks: How can there be so many zombies when they just want to eat people? You'd think most people who get bit would be torn apart before they get a chance to turn into zombies.

There must have been a mass zombie outbreak. So a lot of zombies are original zombies. Plus anytime they bite you you become one. Tons of people probly got bit quick then just ran off and became one later AND bit anyone around them who didn't know WTF was happening. No knowledge=people tend to each other=risk further infection.

id think with zombies likely to be chasing you its better to have a key for the vehicle than to sit around with your thumb in your butt trying to hotwire a vehicle.

nits suck.

i agree obviously this episode wasnt as good as the last one but still pretty good. i think a lot of it was building up for next episode which will be really good.

You gotta remember they are in a city that had, what, a million residents? So now there are a few thousand zeds, most injured in some way from how they were converted, so its prob <1% of people become walkers, the rest become lunch.

I think the reason I didn't enjoy that scene more was that I kept thinking of that hilarious scene in Shaun of the Dead where they try to fool the zombies by acting like them, and it took me out of the moment they were trying to create.

1. when escaping the tank, it woulda been unexpected and awesome if he accidently shot the asian guy while shooting the other zombies.

2. I guess zombies can't climb?

3. many parts of downtown atlanta already look infested with zombies. i did my mba at georgia state and had to walk around there a lot

A friend seemed to think this past episode hinted the affair between Shane and Grimes' wife was going on before the coma, but I can't remember any such hints. Help?

The timing certainly seems that way to me. He hasnt been in a coma for a year, the plant that he got on the first couple of days was still there when he woke, so presumably Z-Day happened very very soon after and he was in the coma for a few weeks.

No way she presumes him dead and moves on and starts shacking up with the partner within that time.

Except that they were having relationship problems, as he describes in the opening conversation, and this is all a pretty traumatic experience. ALso, I think when people lay out the timeline they forget the time where he was in the house with the man and the boy healing. He was still pretty banged up coming out of the coma, and was healed when they ventured out to the police station, so there was some decent amount of time there. Quick look on line says 3-6 months for a gunshot wound to heal, depending on several factors.

I don't think it is far fetched for a man and woman on the run for 4 months from zombies to start banging, especially if they had a prior relationship. I would think she assumes the husband is dead since they he was trapped in a hospital in a town destroyed by zombies.

All of that said, it certainly also could be that something was happening before.

That's exactly what I'm saying. But something about how they both stopped pawing at each other when he notices her wedding ring on the necklace made me think it was a "respect for the dead" type thing as opposed to a "oh, right, you're married" type thing. I dunno, but there's been no clear implication that the affair was pre-zombies, which would mean these people gave it a couple of weeks and then started humping like rabbits.

I am a HUGE infidelity nit so I'm def taking it too seriously FWIW.

i would imagine that to some degree a zombie apocalypse would make everyone a little nuts when it came to banging whoever was still alive regardless of marital status

This is true. I tend to think that ****ing would be one of the furthest things from my mind in this situation, but who knows.

I think this is pretty much a given unless she's just a super whore.

I think you can argue a lot of factors would lead to them shacking up in record time - the usual motives in these stories: outlet for shared grief/anger, undead enemy leading people to want to "feel human", escape constant tragedy and fear by doing something that feels good, end of the world might as well get some, ... .

you'd feel an instant connectedness to anyone that survives the same **** you did

why didn't they just take marta? it's smarta

I agree with both of these, and you have to consider the story he told in the first episode that hinted that she might not feel the connection with him that he has for her.
