That was a heck of a way for a man to get his hat back.

Good show all around. Wished they'd shown how the walkers were drawn away from the Sanctuary to let Negan out to roam the countryside again instead of saving the reveal for the February return. Apparently one Eugene > ten Ricks when it comes to putting together a battle plan. Genius-level Aspergers represent! wOOt!

   

I know right? Watching this show is like being in an abusiive relationship - can’t bring yourself to leave it but it leaves you so angry and disappointed. Their attack plan on the saviours was totally un discernible and made absolutely no sense. Apparently must’ve said “aw we’ll just drive up to the giant building they’re in and shoot at with pistols small arms” and just hope the walkers do the rest.

Then there’s the Kingdoms entire army being annihilated by a single machine gun because it never occurred to any of them that when you’re assaulting an outpost maybe you should break into groups and attack from different directions rather than all stand together. If only they could have piled in Ricks magic .50 cal proff jepp convertible they’d all be alive

And then there’s Maggie and her crew im their vehicles realizing they’re in an ambush and they see the headlights of the saviours driving up behind them. You would think people with such intuitive warrior instinct as this show pretends they have would know to dismount from their vehicles, make for the tree line and shoot the shit out of tose saviours. They’d have the upper hand actually. Instead they just sit there and then surrender without objection. When people aren’t going off on pointless emotion-fuelled lone wolf suicide missions that they haven’t even planned out and that put the entire groups survival in danger, then they’re surrendering without a fight out of an sudden overabundance of caution.

And what’s with these stupid weird talking garbage pail kids? Why were they even brought back in to the story? Plus it’s the apocalypse and they can have their pick of any vehicles that will start yet they choose to only ride around in the hopper of a garbage truck. Just to keep up with a certain aesthetic I guess. How stupid is that. Talk about taking a theme to far.


And let me get this straight: Alexandria is overrun with Saviours; a convoy of Alexandria trucks crashes through the saviours and safely speeds off into the night. Where are the evacuated women and children? Hiding in the sewer right underneath the saviours, the trucks that safely got away were just a diversion. Oh you mean they made their way through the secret sewer tunnel that suddenly exists and made their way to safety out in the woods? No, just sitting right inside the tunnel right underneath the burning exploding town full of bad guys, with no real plan to get away or do anything except sulk.

And how did the saviours get so strong so quickly? We’re all their outposts destroyed and Sanctuary was the last holdout? I feel that the number of people in these communities seems to fluctuate wildly to suit the convenience of the writers, just like the speed and strength of zombies always has.

   

Start watching Z Nation instead. At least its so silly its fun!

   

Omg hate it!!!

   

How can you? It's ridiculously funny! The giant rolling ball of cheese gathering cows & zombies, the Bob & Doug hoser and Mountie zombies when they enter Canada (even say sorry! when they mercy the zombies...) and The Murph - it's unique.
Right up there with the Bruce Campbell movies!

   

There was one episode in Season 2 where a group of refugees was headed to Edmonton because zombies don't like the cold, which is something no zombie show ever touches on. Wouldn't the liquids inside zombies freeze when it gets to minus 10 or 20?

Plus Season 3 was really good TV. The acting, writing and story are much, much better than the campy 1st and 2nd seasons.

I stopped watching Walking Dead a few years ago and never looked back.

If you want great zombie action, watch Train to Busan on Netflix. Frenetic action, fantastic characters and the most heartbreaking ending I've seen in a zombie movie. IMHO, it is one of the best (if not the best) zombie movies ever made.

   

Bump. It's been renewed for a ninth season. Fucking suck on it, haters!

I don't know. Wouldn't "The Dead," in Game of Thrones qualify as zombies? They're walking down from the frozen north.

On IZombie one of the good guys hunts down zombies and throws them in freezers to be unthawed when they find a cure.

   

I'm not sure about GoT, as I don't watch the show.

Are they really zombies (i.e animated dead people), or are they something else, like wights or magical beings of some sort.

   

In GoT they’re wights either raised from the dead or turned that way by the Night King. Different than zombies.

   

I think White Zombie (1932) is considered the first Zombie flick.

In that one Bela Lugosi uses Voodoo magic to a make a girl a Zombie.

About 1968 Romero made Night of the Living dead. As I recall that was radiation making Zombies and that was when Zombies started eating people.

These days it usually seems to be some sort of chemical outbreak, doesn't it? Or it's just mysterious origins.

Would the Evil Dead undead be Zombies? In that one the cause is a dark magic book made out of human skin.

I think maybe what qualifies an undead creature as a Zombie is somebody names one that. In which case GoT wouldn't make the grade.

   

is that it follows Romero's rules. Even shows with "fast" zombies break that and aren't nearly as good.

   

The parts where they do a massive zombie kill-off in a wildly non-conventional way remains the best part of this show's creativity. Like tonight for example. So that's what happens when you turn thirty or forty undead triple-crossing backstabbing artist collective heapsters into a fine puree; industrial grade shredders - is there anything they can't do?

   

Also the GOT wigjts can run, jump and fight with weapons. They’re not interested in eating you.

   

They're true equal opportunity too and don't hold grudges because they generously let you join their team after they kill you.
