Walking Dead 5x01 "No Sanctuary" - Spoilers

[Umbran]

...besides the obvious problem everyone has already mentioned (lack of tension in the butchery), I am becoming increasingly irritated how "weak" the bad buys are and how they do not fight off zombies wanting a quick bite. They never utilise their hands/arms/legs to push them off or shove them away, the scene always cuts to the them screaming and being bitten without so much as a real struggle - just morons screaming while getting eaten. Lame! It's like they lose initiative and fumble at the same time.

There is a distinct difference in types of people in the show - those who have taken levels in the Badass prestige class, and those who haven't.

Most of the folks in Terminus, or in Woodbury, have survived by sheltering themselves from the Walkers. They don't have a lot of combat experience, and so when faced with walkers, they likely die.

Some, like the main characters, like the Governor's elite men, the bunch of guys Daryl fell in with before coming to Terminus, who have not been sheltered, and have survived contact with the Walkers - they've taken at least one level of Badass, and thus general keep their heads about them.

I'd reckon a side-effect of the Process that Gareth has implemented at Terminus is that it doesn't take as much employee skill to run the BBQ machine at Terminus.

Anyway, why aren't we talking on a new thread about the Next Episode. Things have happened since this episode.
