Walking Dead returns

It's a show about dead human beings coming back to life. It's unrealistic to expect a show that is built upon an unrealistic premise, to be realistic.

Why?

I would think an unrealistic premise requires special attention to its details to help what is called the suspension of disbelief... Storytellers have only been using this trick for milllenias...

Looked like a Southern Grind... couldn't tell if it was the Bad Monkey or Spider Monkey.

Maybe the virus that brings dead people back to life, brings dead gas back to life. Maybe the oil companies developed it to bring dead gas back to life, and zombies were an unintentional side effect.

Maybe it's all just fiction.

It's all just a dream and it's going to end with Rick waking up in the hospital where it all began.
 
If you watch the end scene of the last episode, I believe the person spying on Alexandria is in the gang surrounding them in the junkyard. I could be wrong because I don't watch it like I used to. Only on because wife still watches. I turned off my interest when the heroes were turned into Negan's bitches. You talk about "realism", no one has mentioned Eugene making rounds of ammo out of thin air, no powder, primers, bullet molds...nada.
Oh well, it's just a T.V. show.

In the middle season finale, Eugene started rolling off a litany of what was involved in making a bullet. It was reasonably accurate as far as he got til negan shushed him

Does anyone else find Carol annoying as hell now?

Totally. She went from being an annoying battered mouse to one of my favorite characters in season 5...used to be awesome but now she's just annoying & boring.

I'm so sick of all the characters whining & crying over the deaths/killings of scum. Get over yourselves. Every single person Carol killed deserved it and more. The show seems to have pivoted to this new touchy-feely PC theme of how killing is so terrible no matter what the circumstances.

Not to mention the seasons get more & more redundant. Always the same thing. They get scattered, then they find each other, establish a safe place, it gets overrun by zombies/psychos, they fight the psychos, then it all repeats again & again. It's been the same old pattern since season 2 ended with Hershel's farm being overrun.
 
You sir have hit the proverbial nail on the head. This show has basically been rinse and repeat since then, agreed 100%

i still enjoy the show.

i stopped taking it seriously after the first 20 minutes of the first episode in season one when rick told his deputy to take the safety off his glock and the guy hits the slide release and then the gun makes a bunch of sounds like someone is shaking a box of bolts.
 
I just got to say this (might not concern this thread) but i need to get it off my chest lol
I Fn hate when in movies/Shows (including TWD) When its obvious the guy is holding a Glock, or similar Hammer less gun design) and they make the sound of cocking the hammer back, usually during threats, or when they have someone at gun point....

i hate when they have a stare down or something and one guy is point a gun and then to show hes serious he racks the slide....so you were basically pointing a brick at them making threats? real scary.

or when they shoot a gun but the slide doesnt move at all.

theres too many to list.
 
It was OK. Will still keep watching, for awhile. A friend at work said...according to the "Graphik Novels"...the Zombies physical condition deteriorates over time, so slicing through a herd with that wire was "believable???" And I hope they know what to do with all those explosives they found. I thought the people that wired them up originally (Neganites?), would have made them lots more lethal by affixing some sort of shrapnel capability to the outside of the charges. Basic infantry stuff. Right guys? Would even know that much by watching modern movies and TV.
