WALKING DEAD Season 4, Sunday 10-13-13

Kind of drunk, missed a lot of the dialog, just saw people shooting at each other and some a-hole pirate get stabbed with a sword

BUT....being the anal gun person I am, I did notice a guy on the governator's side shoot with a M16/AR15 when the bolt was locked back.

All in all it was better than I expected. Was a lil' shocked more prison folk didn't die though.

They did a memoriam on the Talking Dead of who died & who didn't.

Well, they sometimes screw up. Remember the blonde woman who got accidentally shot in the head 3 episodes back, in the prison? They forgot to show her death on The Talking Dead. Plus, they just showed who died in that episode. No guarantees that everyone who got out of the prison is going to be alive when we see them again in just over 2 months, in February.
 
BTW ...

Anyone notice that extra long camera-shoot of the female walker at the end of the episode? That was Clara. The woman who convinced Rick earlier in the Season to go back to her camp with her in order to help her injured husband. She tries to murder Rick, fails; then she commits suicide.

It's always been a disadvantage laying siege to a fort. A very small force can hold back an army for a long time.
 
Much more action than I expected. I figured the show would end with everyone pointing guns at each other and then fade to black. Gonna be interesting to see who is still around in a few months.

Must admit, I'm glad the Producers didn't resort to that type of B.S.
 
About the realism of the guns, I think its better than in past seasons. I remember a good bit of scenes where shotguns/rifles didn't cycle rounds, the rounds were obviously "movie" rounds, etc etc. And the thing that irked me the most in past seasons was some of the semi-auto pistol's and rifle's slides never moved-they just held a stiff gun and a burst of light would come out of the barrel... All-in-all I think it's gotten better, you could actually see in Daryl's AR magazine that it had rounds going through it in this episode.


(COMIC SPOILERS AHEAD)

Anyway, I liked this episode. I liked that they threw in the comic similarities. The decapitation, and how the Gov' dies is somewhat similar (someone from his own group seeing what he's really like), the group gets split up, etc etc.
I wonder what happens to Judith, I figure they wouldn't do what they did to her in the comic. Also like they said on Talking Dead, the next episode has stuff pulled directly from the comic (like they said, if you've read the comic you know what I'm talking about).

One thing that happens in the comic that they haven't done in the show is the changing seasons. I remember Winter being a pretty big deal in the comic.
 
So its the guns that bother y'all and the guys with severed neck and stabbed hearts crawling around for minutes on end until someone eventually rubs them out??
 
Eh, shouldn't have said "irked". more like the thing I noticed the most was the slides not going back.
Doesn't really bother me, it's a TV show (about Zombies) so I'm not expecting spectacular realism, I was pretty much just saying I thought the whole gun thing had gotten better. Just giving some examples.
 
What I want to know is how they can shoot that many bullets with such a low percentage of hits. Nobody aims. One good marksman could have ended the fight in less than a minute. Take out the tank driver, then the governor, and the rest will quit. I can suspend my disbelief for zombies, but bad shooting is more than I'm willing to accept.

I guess not all civilians are made riflemen by the rigors endured in zombie basic training.
 
Lol there's always either the people that can never hit anything or the guy who never misses.

And I can't believe I forgot to mention Hershel's pump-action shotgun with near-infinite ammo!
 
I see in many movies and shows the characters draw handgun and discharge a single round and slide is locked back. I suppose enough of the population is oblivious to this that it doesn't matter. That sightless AR on the show bugs me but they can't exactly order more and many bare uppers exist without sights so I can see that possibility.
