Save it for a politician.

He probably marathoned through the entire show on crystal meth.

Mythbusters did a show on it a year or two ago. Basically they decided an axehead type weapon was most effective when facing a hoard. IIRC you were pretty much screwed with anything you had.

IIRC, Max Brooks wrote that a machete would be the best weapon. Solid enough to do some good zombie killing and can be very useful as a tool when not killing.

All the emphasis seems to be on weapons. But what about defense that some have mentioned and diversions!

Firecrackers and a lighter seem like a good portable diversion. Something loud, delayed and throwable seems wise. I also liked the noise maker traps that the governor and company set up. Setting some of those up at some distance from Alexandria would be wise.

But of course, solving the zombie problem kills the show.

Didn't they show the Alexandria people with bulldozers? Why wouldn't you just get in a roadgrader with six foot tires and take a couple spins through the zombie pen being guarded by trucks, come in with spears and headstab the incapacitated zombies?

when have the characters in this show ever done anything that ever made any type of logical sense?

if a plan makes sense it's shot down. if it makes absolutely no sense, that obv the plan for them

Are you talking about the virus everybody already has and knows they have it but inexplicably acts like they have no idea?

This season has been a lot better than past seasons, but this show has also had a couple really good few episode stretches.

There is no way Glenn should still be alive, even if Nick was on top, Glenn isn't getting away from a hoard. I thought Nick was going to jump into the pile to give Glenn a few seconds to jump the fence, but nope, he shoots himself in the head and takes the only guy who gave a sht about him to their deaths.

I doubt Ricks cut hand will be anything, he would have to cut his hand off almost instantly if it was like the Herschal situation. Remember when Shane was stabbing Walkers in the head and then sliced his hand to draw them near the school bus?

I can't see how a sprained ankle would keep me from double timing it for a couple miles if my life depended on it. They didn't portray it as being broken.

I personally wonder if a bitten person could get to a good hospital with proper wound care could survive a bite or at least scratches. I suspect it is a wound plus necrotizing flesh and other filth in the wound that kills people.

(Spoil) there are photos of Glenn on set and in costume with an as of yet to be introduced character. Glenn is alive.

You need to learn to use spoilers properly or not post them.

Your right, I have no idea.

I've been watching this show from the start, and what's weird to me is that spoilers don't affect my enjoyment of it. Before I watched this last episode I saw a headline that spoiled Glenn's "death", and it just made me more excited to watch. I'll actually read through this thread before I watch the new episode with no care about it being spoiled.

is hoard the new moran?

Hahaha, I guess for me it is.

I'm still thinking about ways to deal with the thousands of zombies at the quarry, maybe they could've built fences angled so they'd walk into them and then fall off a cliff.

Also if everyone already has the virus, what is with chopping off limbs? Why not just pour some alcohol on the wound and move on.

Infection in the blood stream. A walker bite is the active virus which causes infection that goes to the blood stream immediately and causes death which is when they turn. They don't convert "live"

Or blast the ramps so there is no way to walk out.

Thought about that but wasn't sure if they could find explosives.

Don't think it would need to be a total obliteration. Walkers can't climb inclines of any real degree. It would only have to be enough that they'd stumble towards the edge and fall back down.

I guess a few shovels might have worked.

I guess if they wanted to get rid of them for good, they could've created a few temporary blockades at the top exit, reenforce the semis and just allow them to come out one at a time and kill them that way.

They can climb over each others' heads.
