Im glad this season isnt sucking, i was also about to be done with it. Though, after the last episode.... i question if Ill enjoy where the story is headed next.

The Walking Dead, the only zombie movie where zombies are not the problem.

I wasn't about to be done with it, but very glad it's improved.

Wait a minute.... is it technically considered a spoiler when the episodes we're discussing have already aired (including Talking Dead and the sneak peeks of next week's episode)? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not all of us are in the US, but on top of that I can't bear the weekly torture... I tend to watch the seasons once they've aired (via "download").

If there's a spoiler tag in the thread title then those of us who aren't up to date can't have anything spoiled that's all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh shit I didn't think of that. I'm a goddamn self-centered American. I humbly apologize. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Season 1 was amazing. Season 2 I skipped about 5-6 episodes because it was atrocious. 3 was still pretty bland but better and I had hope for the series. 4 was...unremarkable as I cant really recall anything exciting happening. At season 5 I find myself browsing on my phone and having it play in the background. At this point I just want to see it end and how they plan to do it. It's almost like gum that has been chewed for hours and hours and is just blah now.

Sorry to sidetrack, but something thats always bugged me about the series (and I realize its maybe "too real" to put in the show but still... it irks me.....)

 

Did I miss the explanation for this? Every episode, zombie blood is spraying everywhere, people are rubbing it on their skin, its surely getting in their eyes / mouth / cuts / wherever.... but yet, they never get "infected" like they do when they are bitten.

I was willing to let it slide until last episode when Gareth and friends were eating Bob and he was laughing at them because he was bitten and they were eating his tainted meat..... they didnt really play on it, since those goons are now all dead, but they were very concerned about getting infected from eating him.... yet no one is concerned about getting infected from getting zombie blood on you?

Also, everyone is "infected" but nothing happens until you die... but if a zombie bites you, you're now 2x infected???? and you're for sure going to die.... what gives?

Again, I realize its maybe "too real" to worry about blood spatter etc, but this shit doesnt add up to me and it irks me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is one of the reasons 28 Days Later is indisputably one of the "most real" zombie apocalypse movies for full on immersion and realistic problems they would have. In The Walking Dead they would all have turned by now. I mean shit, when they waded around in that food bank mucky ass zombie water, if any of them who had any sort of minor scratch or skin lesion or something they'll all be eating flesh right now. Or any time they slaughter a zombie and get their face completely covered in blood. Chances are if they ever had their eyes open doing that shit they were dead. Whereas in 28 Days Later, some dude turn into a zombie from a single drop of zombie brains dripping into his eye and had a full on riot suit to deal with the "infected."

If I was in the walking dead I'd be that guy walking around giving people facemasks, gloves and wet naps. Telling people to never chew their fingers and be careful of papercuts.

I wish they would write you into the show, even if just for a few episodes. You would be an awesome character!

OK a buddy brought up that maybe zombies are just so damn "dirty" from the rot / decay / parasites, that getting bitten isnt really a zombie "infection" per say, but your body cant cope with all the parasites and shuts down. Which would explain why the blood spray doesnt matter (Since everyone is "infected" already)........

^^ That gets a bit confusing to me too...
