Any of you Fucks see the season finale of the Walking Dead?

Michonne is a bad bitch.

Love the show, but the finale was the dumbest shit ever.

Why not just run the vehicles back and forth through the field until all their heads are crushed, or kill the remaining crawlers with garden hoes? Nope, Glen is fucking Super Gook and can hang out the window of a moving vehicle on uneven terrain and pull a never ending string of headshots with a SHOTGUN from 25 yards and out. And, how many shells did Hershel's shotgun hold...25 or 30?

I kid, but really...that was some stupid shit. The only reason I would need guns in that world is to protect myself from other assholes with guns. For the walkers, I think swords and battle axes and some halfway decent team tactics would keep you alive.

Two other things...

1. CARL, STAY IN THE MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE FOR THE LAST GODDAMNED TIME!!!! I swear to Christ, I'd keep that mouth breather in a goddamned box.
2. Making it a habit to look behind you every once in a while pays dividends.

Yep, there is some dumb tactics but look at these people, the most prepared for the world they are in is Darryl. So I agreee they do stupid shit but they do do some of the kind of stupid shit your average person would do. IG is a den of vets, para military thinkers and hardasses.

Swords and Sheilds, Roman combat tatics and light calvery (They have Horses) would be the way to kill these things on mass without popping off rounds and blowing shit up.

If I was running the group you never would have seen them all in the house having navel gaze debates. 1/3 rd of the element would be on guard or active patrol, 1/3 would be doing daily task and or training and 1/3 would be sleeping but dressed for a fight. No slack, Hard routine and dissobying is a ticket to a bullet in the head. Darryl is official 2 IC and authority takes a clear line Rick, Darryl, Hershal, T-Dog, Glenn, Ricks wife, Andrea, ect.

Primary and secondary rally points will be set and known by all.

That Kid Rick pulled off the fence would not have been put through half as much stupid shit as they did. He proved a certian mallability when he drove the car as Rick saved Shane a few shows back, so all talk of just waisting him would end. He'd be on a leash but I would let him earn a place, you need Troops. Their treatment of his was stupid. If I pull you off the field of battle, I own you but I also have a responsability for your life, with in reason, betray and be gut shot. He could have been intel about his former group instead he got the jerk around and threatend with death left and right so of coarse when Shane appeared to give him an out he took it. (Not that Shane would be alive at the point. You use a weapon durring a fist led argument then dont be suprised if I ride up to the bus and shoot you to be sure the Walkers eat you.)

Another thing I might consider based upon this cool Bailing Twine net forts we used to make in the trees is making treehouses linked with rope bridges and all kinds of shit to drop on Walker heads as well as 18-26# weights (A use for KB) tied to ropes so you an reuse your "bomb".

Some of those farm vehicles would have been beefed up and exactly what you said would be the tactic with the farm tanks.

And that brings us to Michoone. That bitch has addapted to this world, she has a better grasp on walker behaviour and the right mindset, she's fucking half nuts and that could be a good thing in a world like that.

Good show, not just because it's a good story with people you care about but also because it makes you think and at last has made some of the sheeple start to think about "what if the World goes Thunderdome." because I don't think we are headed for a Zombie outbreak but between fucked up economy, natural disasters, EMP weapons ect we have a small b ut not micro chance of finding yourself in Thunderdome, even if only for a short time before order is restored.

All you need is a house on stilts with a retractable ladder and a long polearm for smashing skulls....fuck, you could chain that fucker to your house so if you drop it you could pull it back up.

You'd get bored killing those fuckers before they got you.

I liked the comics but I lost interest in the tv show after the first season.

Stop your reductionism...I prefer Darth's worldview which is a mashup of Mad Max, Lord of the Flies, and that episode of Star Trek where the Gorn is chasing Kirk and he fashions a cannon out of diamonds, coal, sulfer, and bamboo.

Pretty much what I was after with the trees and the weights with ropes.

But remember the Walkers are not the only enemy and really not the most dangerous?

The group must be organized and aremd for both the mindless and the mindfull enemy.

It's a great show, and it looks like Rick is finally catching on. He's going to become Darth Mayberry next season.

I prefer the worldview of traveling around space cruising for green chicks. To each his own.

Interviewer: Rick, what's your prediction for the battle with teh Walkers?
Rick: My prediction?

Rick: PROPAIN!

For some reason, this reminds me of the dipshittery of Resident Evil - Afterlife, where Alice takes her army of superpowered clones and storms a heavily armed and fortified underground Umbrella stronghold, getting them all killed. If instead she'd run a hit and run guerilla war and used her clones carefully, she'd probably have managed to wipe the zombies out city-by-city in a couple years while keeping Umbrella off balance until they were irrelevant.

(And I still don't understand Umbrella's business model - who do you sell the T-virus to if the world is in flames? And what's the point of "ruling the world" if you can't go outside?)
Of course, that presumes that Paul Anderson actually writes screenplays instead of just stringing action set pieces and Matrix ripoffs together for 100 minutes or so.

Tactics? Why does no one in The Walking Dead have a .22?

Given only head shots are effective, everybody should have a .22 and a hammer.

OK, did I miss something? Is Michoone the woman at the end with the swords and chained walkers? Was she in previous episodes?

I was wondering when they'd bring swords into the show, looking forward to season 3.

You didn't miss anything Froggy. She's a new character.

So how come you nerds already know her name and how bad ass she is???

Because we have already read the comics.

May I dare ask how old you were when you read the comics? Just curious ;-)

Lol. 28 yrs old. That being said, comics are not the same thing they were back when we were all kids, I understand that the collective "We" spans about 15 yrs. The medium now extends far beyond caped and costumed antics, though those are still great. Just the illustrations alone are worth the time to take a look.

What stopped me reading is the cost. Collecting comics has gotten to be as expensive a hobby as golf or cycling ever thought about being.

Agreed. I collect some, especially when they put them in multi-edition book form, but in the mean time torrents and Comic Rack have cut the cost way down.

I was in my 30s when I started reading the Walking Dead. I've got the first 12 or 13 trades. I've got somewhere over 300 trades total.

If you're not obsessed with collecting every individual issue, comics are pretty cheap - http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-Dead- ... 529&sr=1-1

I've never been a collector only a reader.

I need to look into sending all of my single issues to deployed troops

They're especially cheap if you check the collected volumes out from the library.
