Walking Dead Knives

.....this notion of complex, specific post-apocalypse cultures seems a bit rapid in development for the amount of time the series has gone on: Am I the only one feeling the writing is influenced by the time elapsed in the older series? The new series was supposed to show a more recent apocalypse, yet the situations seem a bit "worn-in"... Or maybe it is just the Mexico setting...

The older series had some logical problems (no-fence locations assumed to be "safe", twice), but here the kid striking it out on his own is a bit strange...

That's a good point about "specific post-apocalypse cultures".

Funny you mentioned the "no fence locations". I didn't start watching until they were on Hershel's farm & I didn't really know anything about Walking Dead other than it was a TV show about zombies. I kept on asking my friend who turned me on to Walking Dead, "why can't the zombies get on the farm?". At that time, I thought there was something "magic" about the farm that the zombies couldn't attack it.

I did not find this sacrifice scene to be really believable: Nobody would want this kind of death, and people hang on to the bitter end, especially when things are bad...

Unless they're members of a cult who've been brainwashed.

Also this notion of complex, specific post-apocalypse cultures seems a bit rapid in development for the amount of time the series has gone on: Am I the only one feeling the writing is influenced by the time elapsed in the older series?

Well to be fair we don't know just how long things have been going downhill with the dead rising. It being Mexico, they could've gotten an early heads up since things are so much rougher down there.

Later in the second season there was a swamp in the woods that was explicitly shown to act as a natural "barrier". But this would hardly cover 360 degrees around a farm...

Despite the logical flaws, I liked season 1-2 and quite a few episodes of 4 better. Even the governor seemed a bit more interesting in 4 than he ever was in 3, though I had trouble buying a whole group completely falling under the rule of a lone one-eyed stranger that just wandered in... 5 also had some good episodes later on, but started really slow.

I'm still not sure what I think of "Fear the Waling dead", but I like the characters better.

Tonight's episode had a number of close up shots of an Ontario pilot knife being used in the opening.
 
anybody know what troys knife is that he is uses in season 3 prominently in episode 5. It has a brown gripped handle similar to kabar knives, with a round steel pommel and a steel line under it.

I'm guessing someone connected with the series has a thing for knives & gets to take them home after they are filmed. Seems a reasonable job perk. :)

Elk Ridge ER-047, or if that fails, search Elk Ridge Leather knife. It's a budget knife, sells for $20 or so -
