Sigh, I put real Zombies with the were wolves and vampires - wasting my time. Now the Zombies that watch too much television and get all their wonderful ideas about economy, guns and government from the Main Stream Media. Well, they have trouble telling us about the Constitution, the Alamo, and how many of our neighboring countries we have fought.<br /><br />300 meter head shot, is highly likely if it is entertainment, or practiced.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794620086508373660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659715953846222592.post-20767844725158523272011-11-16T07:08:23.356-08:002011-11-16T07:08:23.356-08:00Bob, the problem is it just isn't entertaining...Bob, the problem is it just isn't entertaining.

You can justify...It's entertainment, after all. You can justify watching it by it being how <i>not</i> to survive a zombie apocalypse.<br /><br />I don't think you can say that Daryl <i>intentionally</i> stabbed himself with the crossbow bolt. And the snake that the horse shied from was a genuine Southern Copperhead, rather than some western US species. A horse will even shy from a blacksnake, when it comes down to it. I've been riding horses before when they spooked at a snake; although they didn't buck or rear, they did in fact take off running, and it took a bit to get them back under control.<br /><br />The hallucination that Daryl saw of Merle showed that Merle is the only racist among the white survivors. The other whites have acted with a fair amount of tolerance; even Daryl gave up medicine so that the black guy could survive. The black guy, when delirious, showed some racism, himself.<br /><br />If the show survives, maybe sometime in the future we'll be shown an individual or group that really has a good idea about what it takes to survive such a scenario; if the show follows the plot of the comics it is based on, the group never really gets all that skilled at it.<br /><br />No one is thinking in terms of makeshift armor, such as leather clothing or duct tape over sweats; they aren't searching for a place that can be fenced off from the zombies (it happens in the comics, but I won't spoil it).<br /><br />Hell, the show is better than anything else out there about zombies. And you can bet your ass that the other networks are taking notice over the success of The Walking Dead. Maybe we'll get a better show if we clamor enough for one.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402651457453813639noreply@blogger.com
