The Walking Dead

From the Walking Dead wiki:



Maybe you didn't watch it as efficiently as most people do. I would recommend either using your eyes or first removing your head from your asshole for an optimal viewing experience.

I'm sorry. Was that last post degrading in any way? Apparently I was wrong, but I didn't in any way say you were a dumbass for posting what you did. Grow the fuck up. It's a goddamn TV show. If it helps your pathetic internet ego, YOU WERE FUCKING RIGHT DOUCHE BAG!

Fucking nerds.

Fucking nerds.

I concur.

That's cool. So the dude was a professional window-breaker in his old life? I don't remember if he was a minority.

Think about how an Alzheimer's patient can tie their shoes but they can't remember their own children; that has to do with which part of the brain is failing and which part hasn't failed yet.

I think it's kind of like that. The zombie doesn't think about the rock in any meaningful way, and it's not like he was a professional window breaker, but there's some residual instinct about breaking glass with a large object in the part of his brain that functions. There's been a lot of stuff like that in the series so far, and no real explanation, there might never be an explanation, but it seems less like problem solving and more like motor memory to me.

It seems like a badly-written, quick plot contrivance onto which people are affixing way too much meaning.

To me.

lol @ the idea that there is some universal rule for zombies that this show somehow breaks by having a zombie throw a rock.

Nerds.

I thought so with the door handle.

But then you had the rock, and the ladder, and the church and the door in the RV. It could easily be coincidence and the writing is just bad, or it could be the way the zombies work in this universe. If it's the first this show sucks, if it's the second I think that's pretty cool.

I love how long it's taking people to realize that this is trash.

FU IT'S A BIG DEAL

I think the writers were like you know what's creepy? Zombies in CHURCH! Yes! And they're all staring straight ahead. This is gold, do it.

I like the show.
I don't treat fiction like serious business though.
