How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

[dabest]

it's an interesting script raster but i don't think WD would involve 1st person hmmm i'll start reading the comics and try and get a head start :P

[rasterbee]

Yeah, it won't happen. It was something I wrote for r/thewalkingdead in a thread about the possibility of the 1st person zombie POV episode. They've already started filming or even finished the first episode of season 3 already most likely.

The comics are easy to find on the interwebs, by the way. Google "Comical comic book reader", download it. Then either torrent the entire package of comics or search google individually for them by typing "walking dead issue XX cbr cbz". XX being whatever issue you want to find. cbr and cbz are the comic formats that the Comical comic book reader uses. I've read everyone without paying a penny.

yeah shows start filming asap after then end of the season i can't wait it will probably start on October 31 since the first 2 seasons did, just pray they don't take a 3 month break like last time lol

I'm pretty sure the break was because of the Darabont debacle. But it was worth it. I'm 100% in Team Mazzara. Low budget or not, the show is far more thrilling now. Mazzara is just better at making tv dramas work than Darabont is. The first season plays like a movie, the first half of the second season plays like a Mexican soap opera. Then Mazzara took over and the show rocketed into high speed. I don't mind Dale dying early or Michonne showing up early, but Darabont's decision to not include Tyrese, to kill off Sophia, and letting Shane live so long really changed the plot, cutting out so many future good scenes. The plot surrounding Dale's death in the comic can be used for another character, T-Dog perhaps. The new Andrea and Michonne side story that we'll get next season should be entertaining. Hopefully Andrea will fully come out of her shell and turn into the character that she was at this point in the comic.

[dabest]

yes i find that it is better but i think Dale could have lived if that dam kid would do what they say and stay in the house, and yes i would like to see Andrea turn into a badass along with this new mysterious character with the pimpin zombies following her :P

[rasterbee]

Well Dale was killed off because he is like best friends with Frank Darabont. When Darabont was let go, "Dale" made Glenn Mazzara kill him off because he didn't want to continue with the series anymore.

[King Alboin]

too bad you dont think the next episode will turn out like you wrote it. seems a logical ascertion for the way the plot ought to run. So Michonne is the ninja chick with the slaves? huh, interesting

anyway
I rather enjoyed Dale's demise.

he was like "oh dont kill the kid, who might lead his 30 gun toting mauraders to this peaceful farm, and he goes off and gets depressed ... then takes a stroll, in the dark, in the middle of a field, but who knew a p/o'd zombie who was hunting down a kid who threw rocks at it was looking for some vengence and a few fries to go with that? hmmmm?

maybe it was the score [music] idk, but I knew and was chomping at the bit to see it happen. Back track to the events, and it seems it was his fault that the farm did git overrunned. whiney ash bish. jmho.

But I would think your prison scenario would be the logical one, but it needs more moron's doing stuff to really make it, WD. Of course you did add at the end, Rick just standing outside, as if he aint got a care in the world, so yep, I think you nailed it, perfectly.

on a side note. Everyone here seems to have their own version of what a Zombie is.

some put them on the monster dias, and think they can do anything, some think that just blast their medulla oblongata, and all is quiet. But what really do we know about a Zombie?

Well, I for one dont put no special powers on them, except they are dead and they walk, and okay, lets say they have to eat live human flesh to be fulfilled in their daily quest to find their inner Zombie.

This is what I think Zombies are and are not capable of:

1) Not capable of 20/20, their vision is blocked by cataracts of the decaying eyeballs.
more like ... 20/03 if that.

2) Not capable of hearing well, their earbones are shot due to decaying eardrums and all surrounding inner ear stuff, in there.

3) Not capable of running at high speeds or at all for that matter, cuz their knee bones are shot, because of that tendon thingy that holds the knee bone up.

4) Capable of smelling, really really good, cuz their sinuses are exposed and of all the sensory parts of the human body, the nose is the second largest sensory perceptor, skin being the largest.

5) Capable of stinking really really bad, cuz well they dont wash up after nothing, and are just rotting flesh, proambulating.

6) Not capable of cogent thinking, or complex decision making. Rock algae is smarter than they are.

So?

How to defend yourself from them:

No eyesight, they can not see you, walk up and hit them with a rock

No hearing, they can not hear you, shoot them, and the others wont know what's going on

Caint run fast so, you can play tag with them, and just bob and weave out of the way

But they can smell you, so wear a boat load of perfume or use the flamethrower trick, and burn their faces up. It would be hard to smell through shagged nose hairs

And? you can smell them from several yards away, so they should not be able to sneak up on you.

suspend belief that there could be a Zombie like infection, fine, but one cannot suspend belief in the physical anatomical bio'mechanics of a human body.

just a thought

[rasterbee]

Well every new zombie tale has different kinds of zombies.

In the Walking Dead, they don't have a good sense of smell. The creator, Kirkman, was asked about this on an episode of the Talking Dead and said "They're not bloodhounds." And in the first seasons there is that scene on the road when everyone hides under the cars. If they could smell humans, everyone would have died right there.

Human sense of smell is our weakest sense and compared to other animals, it's atrociously poor. We don't depend on it for anything and over the past hundred thousand years has evolved to what it is now. Zombies wouldn't all of a sudden magically have an amazing sniffer, it would be worse than humans because of the decay and degradation of their bodies.

[King Alboin]

not so, for if you remember, they put zombie guts all over rick and glenn so they could get a car, remember it rained? and two, daryl put a zombie ontop of T-dog, and himself so the Zombs would not smell them. contradicting Kirkman's vision

yes that is true and it's also how they made season 2 so exciting

also i think that since they are dead and decaying they will kill 60% of themselves by just moving
