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

[Hand of Evil]

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.

I keep saying a bobcat can be a kickass zombie weapon, great little zombie whacker...mmmm, bush whacker could really do a number on zombie, just tilt and place in a door way.

--------------

Can you image a world without zombie reference in it...all the movies that were never made just by taking out zombies!

and, why aren't they using light sabers to fight the zombies?

 

[NewJeffCT]

OK - one other question. I thought the helicopter that is seen at the beginning of the episode was the same one that Rick saw in Season 1, Episode 1. They just showed it from the "walker" angle instead of the Rick angle, and they were using it to show how the "herd" of walkers got from Atlanta to Hershel's farm, as it was pretty clear that at least several days passed during the walker march montage.

Does anybody else feel that same way, or am I way off base?

Something like that. Zombies must be going bonkers walking through the woods with all the noises everywhere. I imagine herds of them standing under a waterfall slowly getting eroded.

Too bad Hershel's farm isn't big enough to have a combine on it:

Yeah, that's absolutely what it was. From a story perspective, I loved that touch. I thought it was a great twist that Rick and co were doomed to be attacked by the herd one way or the other and had little say in the matter, days if not weeks before they ever arrived at the farm. The wheels were already in motion. (OK, yes, there was the fact that Shane's gunshot drew their attention directly towards the farm, but they were still in the neighbourhood.)

I wonder how much time had actually passed at the farm. How many days were they there? When Glen professed his love to Maggie, he said that he should have told her "a long time ago". I know it was probably all relative, but "should have said I love you a long time ago" leads me to believe he should have said it weeks ago. Maybe they were there for 2-3 months?

Based on Carl's recovery (and assuming no supernatural or drama-natural healing), I'm guessing a bare minimum of six weeks. On the other hand, Lori isn't showing or wearing different clothes yet, I don't think she could be any farther than 20 weeks along. Factor in enough time for her to realize her cycle was off and for the test to work, and it's extremely unlikely they could have been there more than four months.

So your estimate of 2-3 months seems to be pretty realistic.

That was my feeling on it but also had the feeling this was a "normal" route for the helicopter(s), to keep the zombies moving that way (note: humans have one leg shorter than the other, meaning we would walk in a circle...zombies should do the same thing unless they were focused on something.)

Which goes to show you...no army ants in this Georgia!
