The Walking Dead 2.13 - Besides the Dying Fire (season finale - SPOILERS)

[Fast Learner]

Um... no-prize style? We know that human hair and nails will continue to grow for a period after death. Perhaps it is even moreso for zombies?

It turns out that fingernails and hair don't continue growing after death; the apparent growth is a result of your flesh shrinking up, pulling it away from the base of your nails and hair, making them appear longer.

The end result for zombie fingers is the same: more nail protruding!

Deadliest Warrior is normally a show that pits two historical figures against each other and does a lot of scientific analysis of their weapons & tactics. This was a radical departure for them.

That show is a massive waste of time, money and energy. It's full of utter make-believe BS. It's touted as being scientific and yet they don't use any scientific methodology and their 'experts' don't know basic-level facts about their so-called specialisations. It's fiction posed as fact. Anything that comes out of that show should be considered a farce and most definitely NOT as a reliable source of information.

Wait. You mean to tell me that a Pirate can't kill a Knight? I guess someone isn't watching the reenactments.

well, I liked how they ignored some of the results of their testing on that one - the pirate weapon doesn't penetrate the knight's armor, but they still give the "win" to the pirate for that category.

My problem is the match-ups they pick a lot of the time - steel age vs iron age, early medieval vs late medieval, etc.

Charging the capacitors might be a bit tricky. But hey, jail cells! Not much better for keeping him from wandering off, is there?



In a Georgia summer, you can't go around wearing most of those forms of armor 24/7, unless you want to die of heat stroke. And, under current conditions, that means they'd come back as an *armored* zombie. What fun!

I know all about Georgia summers, I live in Columbia SC, just as hot and more humid. Not talking 7/24 but having it handy would not be a bad thing.

However, in Dale's situation - him storming off angry - I doubt he would have taken the time to put on any protective gear. But, Shane & Otis could have used some when going to get the medical supplies for Carl.

I don't think they have bullet-proof armour for knees.

 

[Remus Lupin]

Based on the zombies preferred attack style, a thick leather strap around the throat area would probably be obligatory. Beyond that, I'm thinking you could almost get by with some hockey padding when you go out in the field. In fact, a goalie stick would probably be a very good anti-walker defense weapon.

I am completely dumbfounded and frankly a bit irritated that no-one has taken the time to invent powered armor in this show.

Inexcusably lazy writing.

Now you've done it. Now I want to see a Falling Skies + Walking Dead type show. Alien invasion meets ZA!!!
