But, but - Hornady makes "zombie loads", All these idiots are making "ZAV"s... Its gotta be real!
One of the big things I've noticed about the walking dead is how poorly its written compared to breaking bad. Sometimes I think its deliberate so the viewer yells at the TV...
Also, how come they learned in like season 1 / episode 1 that if you dress yourself in zombie guts you can walk among them (and they never do it again)
The easiest solution would be to live on an island. Or somewhere cold - zombie popsicles should be easy to destroy.

You obviously haven't read "World War Z." Underwater walking zombies are some scary E36 M3!

Made me think of the hundreds of mob trap designs people make in the game Minecraft (and the 'crafting dead' mod). One difference is zombie corpses in Walking Dead wouldn't just vanish. My solution would be to make a trench (he's got plenty of workers) and/or pits with noise makers. Once the pit/trench starts filling, dig another one next to it. Fill in the old trench/pit with the dirt from the new one. Use the extra topsoil for farming, the extra crap soil for other stuff. maybe mound it on top of the old pits to make "zombie burial mounds" so you know not to dig there again.
I liked the first season. Plenty of back story and adventures. Season 2 was sit on a farm for 15 episodes, season 3 just finished on Netflix and was mostly sit in a prison for 15 episodes. I'm sure the budget is less but soap operas are boring.

Season 2 budget was cut in half. Explains why they didn't really leave the damn farm. Season 3 gets better, but don't understand why they didn't take over Woodbury immediately. Seemed a hell of a lot better than the prison with most infrastructure already setup.
At least Herschel was much more bearable in season 3/4.

The prison is MUCH earlier in the books. I'm just happy Tyrese came along, I liked his character.

"Yeaaaaaah boyeeee!" Quote from his voice acting work as Coach from Left 4 Dead 2. I loves me some Tyrese.
He'll always be "Cutty from The Wire" to me.
I never watched the wire. I was just stoked to see someone that wasn't a complete pu$$y. I mean I know rick is conflicted and crap- but FFS he's a whiny little bitch, especially compared to the book.
Zombies can't touch this!

You have to remember with characters like the Governor the zombies are actually their source of power. All the little sheep are scared to death because of what is going on and as long as it keeps going on then he still has power because he provides a sense of safety. As soon as people would feel safe without him providing security because the zombies are gone they would start to question his authority.
Well... Mid-season finale was last night. How badass was that episode?
It was absolutely horrible.... and I can't wait until Feb.

tr00f. I just got my DVD's of the last season and watched it again, damn that was great.
Yeah, that was intense. I assume they have a preset point to meet up afterward.
^ That's what it sounded like when Darryl was talking to the girls.
More missed shots than a star wars battle scene...and I still loved every moment.
Did not see the hostage part ending the way it did. I really thought the Governor might take the offer.
regardless, I think that there really still is more security at the prison than outside of it. Fix a few fences, and you should still have a pretty solid perimeter (or at least, as solid as it was before they were knocked down). The prisons security was in its perimeter, not in its actual structure...

[some spoilers withheld] As soon as I saw the hostage smiling at Rick's offer, I knew he/she/it would lose his/her/its head. The Governor is a heartless bastard.
I will really miss him/her/it. I really liked them.
Spoiler alert!
This season started out pretty boring, so I was happy to see the Governor back. Of course now we need another bad guy since he's a goner.
Hershal has been annoying from the start, so I'm not to sad to see him go.
Who is feeding the rats to zombies etc? I think it's Carl.
