Walking Dead Spoilers

huwehotaling · October 2011

Did anyone else watch the new episode last night? I really hope Carl makes it. As long as they can get the supplies, but how the heck are they going to get out of the school alive? And I wonder if they'll ever find the girl. Seems like she's been gone too long at this point.

EastCoastBride · October 2011

If she is alive, I hope there is a real purpose to the storyline because right now... DRAGGING. I'm over it. I was over it after the first episode!

huwehotaling · October 2011

Yeah, time to speed things up...they need to move on from where they stopped on the highway.

That highway is another pet peeve of mine. What happened that there are SO many wrecked cars and cars flipped over? And especially in both directions?

I mean, I realize I've never experienced a zombie attack ( Stick out tongue ), so maybe it makes sense if I had - but really? Attacking zombies makes cars crash and flip over??

I don't know... I'm just not feeling this season yet the way I did last! I hope something changes soon.

I so agree with everyone who's posted so far. This season has been B-O-R-I-N-G so far. I kept on turning to my husband when we were watching last night going, "Okay I don't care about this...where's the zombies??"

Did we really need the opening with Shane telling Rick's wife that he'd been shot? I don't care about that back story unless they're going to show how the zombie epidemic started.

Can't wait to see next week how Shane and Otis get out of that high school with the equipment because right now they're up a creek without a paddle.

KMarieO22 · October 2011

I agree that it has been pretty boring, and I'm really wondering where the little girl could have gone. Maybe another group of people found her and she can't explain to them where they were on the highway?? I just can't see her hiding out in the woods somewhere. Also, I really think that Otis will end up sacrificing himself so that Shane can get back with the supplies since he feels bad that he's the one that shot Carl, even if it was an accident.

I couldn't agree more!!!! I get that it's a TV series so everything doesn't solve itself in one episode, but COME ON!!! I wish there was more about the story of WHAT happened {even if there were more mysteries and questions about that}, why there are zombies, etc.... The need to survive AND to get answers, or at least search more for answers. So many cool possibilities and a missing child and now a shot child is the best they could come up with?! I'm pretty over this drama between characters. There are just too many and quite frankly, I'm losing what interest I had in all of them.

Seriously! The "love triangle" is the worst of them too. I don't find Shane to be attractive at all - looks OR personality. And I'm not getting his obsession w/ the wife (I don't even know her name.... oy). She isn't striking me as "all that".

I don't know.... I hope there is a point to all of this.

moreace01 · October 2011

Agreeing with everyone here - they need to pick up the pace a bit. I also turned to DH repeatedly and said "where are the zombies?" to which he responded - this show is like a soap opera with the occasional zombie in it. Nothing seems to be happening, yet the storylines are all over the place. And I'll be honest, I forgot all about the little girl in this episode. I'm really hoping there is more action in the next few episodes.

I can see this happening, although it seems like they really focused on how slow and winded he was getting when they were running back to the farmhouse, so I think he just won't be able to keep up and the zombies will get him, rather than him willingly giving himself up to them.

First rule in Zombieland - cardio

I guess I'm in the minority, but I thought last night's episode was awesome, and not boring at all. I didn't want it to end.

LOL at that one! That's what DH and I were thinking when he and Shane were running in the field towards the house after Carl was shot! He's not going to last long because he's not very fast.

Zombieland...love that movie!

janie2002 · October 2011

Don't normally post but just jumping in on the massive car mess. I live in Houston, about 4 years ago there was a category 5 hurrican hitting straight to us. Afew days before it hit everyone was leaving. It normally takes 30-40 minutes for us to get from downtown Houston to the woodlands. Well with so many people on the road it took us 8.5 hours. Our plan was to head to Dallas, but after that we had to stop at a friends in the woodlands and stay there.

It was the scariest thing I had ever seen. All the gas stations along the road were closed with no gas. Cars were left on the sides of the freeways, it was mass panic.

Anyways I'm loving the show so far!

YES! That's all I would think of when Otis volunteered to go!

Mrs_Hark · October 2011

did anyone else think that the walkers outside the school/fema trailer seemed a lot faster when they were chasing after Shane & Otis than some of the previous chases?

my greatest fear is that the walkers are going to get smarter- like the zombie/vampire things in I Am Legend

i also thought it was a pretty dumb move to just open the fema trailer door and step out w/o checking to see where the zombie action was at- those flares weren't going to keep them busy for long, where was the exit plan?

i was hoping the little girl would have made it to the farmhouse, and if they kill Carl i will be very upset. he is just such a cute kid.

ditto
i love the character development. i love that it is a drama with the occasional zombie. i know dr. jenner told Rick something but how are they supposed to find out any answers? the cdc had the answer - no one knows what *** it is and there is no cure and no one out there. everyone else they have run into has less info than that.
how would you know the answer if a zombie outbreak happened right now? you would be more worried about saving your family before looking for a cure. right now, shelter, food, water and safety are the main concerns.
i wish the show were 2 hours long b/c i want the answers now, but i can't wait for next week.
i also think the military would have shot some of the cars or there was a mass of people/zombies in the road that caused the pile up

I agree with this, I am loving it!

rxbeth · October 2011

With regards to how Shane and Otis get out of the highschool...I can see Shane sacrificing Otis so that he can get himself out. Lots of meat to keep the 'walkers' busy.

This is EXACTLY what I said to my H!

I don't think Otis will be sacrificed. He said he was an EMT and he's probably going to be needed in order to save Carl's life. Maybe he'll be bitten but still help save the Carl then get put down? IDK

I'm so over the girl gone missing.

gwynnetx · October 2011

otis and shane sure waited a long time behind that car before throwing out those flares, so it seems like they would have had plenty of time to come up with a plan for exiting the trailer, too.

you're welcome, lori, for tending to your little boy! good grief. i understand that lori is frantic with worry for carl, but she's really lucky that there was someone nearby with any medical knowledge whatsoever, esp. enough to possibly save his life. who cares if he's a vet. glass half full, lori!

lol. agree w/ this. i mean, would you like to go find another surgeon during this life threatening emergency, during a zombie apocolypse? she annoyed me. the vet at least has surgical training. rick got on my nerves too. thinking he was going to go to the school to help shane and otis after giving so much blood? dumb.

as soon as otis volunteered to go w/ shane i knew he would end up dying/probably sacrificing himself. i have no idea how they are going to get out of there and like others have said, why didn't they think of an exit plan? at least save some flares?

A couple zombies run across the highway, 30 car pile up, everyone stops, zombies attack. Not to mention you throw in some reckless drivers. And when everyone was trying to get out of Houston for that hurricane after Katrina, they had cars stuck for 12+ hours. I guess I assumed some cars were moved and flipped later too.

There's been 30 car pile ups on both sides of the interstate here due to fog. It doesn't seem that crazy.

kcpokergal · October 2011

Oh and back to the show:). I love it but agree this last episode was a little slow. I also felt like they could have been more strategic in the high school. I also feel like they should be making a longer term survival plan. Like fortify the farm house and just go zombie killing as they wonder by.

Mrs_Hark · October 2011

majorwife:

i don't think Otis will die next week.

And on the Talking Dead on Sunday, the creator of the comics and show said that freshly dead zombies can run faster than older ones. That's why the ones at the high school could run.

But from the second you die and come back, your body is rotting. So the older you are, as a zombie, the more your body is rotting and you can't move as fast.

I think Andrea and Dale are going to hook up this season.

i didn't stay up fo the Talking Dead show, but that makes sense. Thanks Major!

angelfish10 · October 2011

Something I don't understand. Why were there dead people in some of the cars? Wouldn't they have turned into zombies if they were attacked? Would they have just stayed in their cars to die? I would have gotten out and at least tried to run. I thought either they would be zombies or the walkers would have eaten them. Some of them just looked like they died sitting in their car. Weird.

Erin2903 · October 2011

I'm in the minority, I'm loving this season so far. I'm glad there is more storyline and not just straight up zombie attacks the whole episode. I'm interested to see where the storyline goes with the family in the farmhouse.

I figured that they either killed themselves or not thinking and in a panic, would have rolled up the windows and died from the heat. Something of that nature.
