Zzulu posted:You could probably fortify several skyscrapers and they'd be largely impenetrable by zombies and humans alike instead of going out into the woods where you cant see poo poo and putting up a shoddy wall Experiences with fences: - Routinely snuck into Woodbury - Prison rendered uninhabitable when chain link fence broke - Terminus destroyed when fence was blown up - Wolves stormed Alexandria - Garbage McPoyles sneak in and steal Gabriel Experiences with tall concrete buildings: - Atlanta. Had to take hostages to get inside and then wound up in a stand off in a narrow hallway. Maybe they need the land for farming? Nope, we don't do that stuff. Maybe they have learned to defend fences? Nope - just one guy walking around inside where he can't see poo poo on the outside is fine.

Panzeh posted:It's always kinda weird how these post-apocalyptic/zombie shows try to go for a 'life is cheap, world is hyper-violent' thing when they also try to show that 'life is rare'. Seems bizarre to me. It's more that resources are scarce so you fight over them. There's no authorities to protect property. I wouldn't say it's illogical.

Why don't they just pack up and head to Minneapolis? They can take over a block of buildings, use the skywalks to get from place to place during the winter to avoid the streets. And the stupid walkers won't be able to survive a winter up there. Assuming World War Z rules, that is. Clearly Negan and co have that area on lockdown so LEAVE.

It even gives the impression that they could walk across the sea bed to a place without an issue since we never see them die of anything other than smashing their brain.

And George Miller wouldn't write something that stupid. The episode's production designer is Graham Walker who produced Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, which explains a lot about the Mad Max Lite vibe the whole junkyard group has Taear posted:I don't think cold or water or whatever does anything to the walkers.

Not sure why they "bothered" to follow Rick and Aaron back, infiltrate the compound, burglarize it long after a lot of the supplies were taken, and take a prisoner instead of just robbing Rick and Aaron right after they got out of the lake.

It's never been mentioned in the show directly but it was brought up in S2 of the Tell Tale TWD game which generally follows the same rules as the comic/show. It was only talked about, but they did say the zombies slow down and freeze up (but of course they still got ambushed by a bunch of "freshly dead" zombies anyway).

The dumbest thing about these characters is that a lot of them seem like the outbreak just started and they're still incompetent. Wouldn't you realistically want to horde a bunch of survival guides and start teaching people how to survive, Bear Grylls style? There are people living in rural areas of the US right now that would be utterly embarrassed by everything these characters do. It's been a couple years in their world, why can't they properly sustain themselves without needing old slop out of a can? Sure, occasionally Darryl or Carol hunted or fished (I think), but that was about it. Humans lived for hundreds of thousands of years without needing cans of food, come on.

He stumbled on him in the pantry when he was supposed to be guarding the wall and the boot person said "boat" so he luckily had a chance to write "boat". Harkening back to an earlier person who wondered if Aaron just pretended to scout: how many things did he manage to miss during those expeditions? Zombie Quarry 10 square mile dump with max max residents Every single Neegan outpost Hilltop Kingdom Wolves? ... And where has nerdglasses dude Mischonne gotten off to? edit: They should lure Neegan into the quarry and then set him on fire. Fog Tripper fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Feb 22, 2017 |

It's been a couple years in their world, why can't they properly sustain themselves without needing old slop out of a can? They showed a little bit of farming at the kingdom but it's the kind of suburban hipster hobby farming people do. Growing 20 heads of lettuce and some tomatoes isn't going to help you through the winter. You have to grow grains you can store outside the growing season. There's a reason medieval folk survived on gruel and bread and it wasn't because they hated vegetables.

You watch a show like Lost and they hunted and fished every day. These guys scrounge around for canned dog food if they dont have some community trove.
