The problem is wearing the suits will slow you down and prevent you from getting away and tiring you out faster.
For general use sure, but if you know you are going close quarters and there's a ton of zombies I think it'd be worth the loss in speed. I'd also think that the leg/arm and maybe head protection is far more valuable than chest.

However, now they know that everybody is already infected. So a little bit of zombie goo isn't going to kill them.

To keep from getting bitten when they enter a potentially dangerous situation, they should have been wearing motorcycle suits. Now at least they'll have riot suits.



Yes! I don't remember if i read it in the comic or if it was on the TV show but everyone is already infected with the virus. It's only when you die that you become a zombie.

It worked well for the dd in 28 Days Later..until he took off his helmet. I would think a firemans outfit would work really well. No bites are gonna get through that, and you can use Molotov cocktails to slow them down without fear of catching on fire. I'll take the hit in speed...its not like you need to be a ninja.

And its nice to finally know why that katana wielding woman has zombies on a leash.

They said this in the show last season also and it turned out that's what the guy whispered to rick before the government building exploded.

The problem with that is then you have zombies attacking you that are on fire.

But until now they generally are running from zombies and a horde will overwhelm you unless you get good choke points like they have now.

Whoops I guess you're right. Still though, if they stayed in the same area for nine months how have they not come across it until now? I mean it looks like it was a mile away tops. That just seems ludicrous.
You should watch the Talking Dead after the show. The writer for this episode answered a question about why no one has gone to the prison until now. He basically answered that there are packs of zombies moving around and there may not have been an opening until this point to get to it. I think he also said that perhaps no one else found it until this group as well though.

To answer questions.

1. They never saw the prision in season 2, only the viewers did, and it took them 6 months because they have been running in circles trying to find some salvation, only going the direction the walkers would let them via mass amounts of them.

2. Also about 6 months have passed wince we last seen them. About the same amount of time between season 2 finale and season 3 premier. Basically it is like they were still running/surviving w/o us watching, and only now we are back watching because things have gotten "interesting" again.

3. The show is based off the comic book. Those who read the comic book will know things before people watching the show. That does not make it a spoiler because the knowledge is already out there.

Also, the show is seperate from the comic book. In the comic book Shane never gets to the farm, that transaction between him and rick happens much earlier. Along with Daryl (however you spell his name) wasn't even a character in the comics, yet is pretty much the most bad ass character on the show.

4. Everyone is infected. It was stated in the season 2 finale, the zombie bites however are fatal so that will still kill you if given the time, but anyone who dies will come back as a walker.

Excellent post, but I wholly disagree with the above, especially the bolded statement. I have not read the comics yet, because I don't want that to spoil the TV show for me. (I plan on reading the series, after the TV show is over.)
Yes, there are plenty of differences, but there are at least just as many similarities.

You are right. But here is the problem. People in this thread ask questions that could only be answered if you read the comic. If people don't want to know answers, don't ask questions.

This isn't Breaking Bad where we have no idea what is coming. Many people know exactly what is coming. Or at least know very closely what is coming and people come into this thread looking for answers.

I don't think people should go out of their way to spoil things for others but giving up a name and the fact that she is badass HARDLY qualifies as a spoiler. Or who the two zombies are. That isn't a spoiler because it doesn't have any impact on the plot or story.

A spoiler is something that gives away plot or scenes.

Oh? Alright, well why don't you tell us who dies next? How many people from the group don't make it? Who ends up hooking up? What's the source of the zombie infection? What is Meryl going to do when he comes back? Might as well tell us all now and ruin the show for millions of people, since that info is already out there!

Yeah, I completely agree that the post about Michonne isn't something to make a big deal about, especially considering it was brought up to squash the stupid notion of her pets/slaves being black.

If you answer any questions that so far can only be answered based off the comic book or Talking Dead sessions, and that haven't been explicitly answered or stated in the TV episodes, wrap your post in a
spoiler
tag.

The producers have made it clear that they will, and have, made changes from the comic books. I have not read them, but my friends say that Merle isn't really a part of comic books so they have no idea what's going to happen with him. I'm fine with background stuff on the Walking Dead universe because it does help fill in stuff without giving away plot details. Non-background info, like what happens in issue 100, I may find out about, but it still may or may not happen in the TV show.

so how come they don't care if the blood or guts get on them anymore? is it because they know they are already infected? the chick was nearly licking the blood off the asian dudes sleeve.

speaking of sleeves, why does that bitch wear a tank top? yea that seems like a smart idea, expose as much skin as possible when there are flesh eating zombies around.

also, carl is cooler but he is still needs to die because he's wearing that stupid hat.

EDIT:

i also think it's stupid how the zombies are so fragile and basically you can push your finger through their skull, yet when they grab herschel's leg the zombie has a death grip on it and basically rips his leg in half with one chomp down.

Yea, its kinda like how I read "World Of The Worlds" way before the movie came out. I was familiar with the reference material and it helped to shape my understanding of the movie. Basically, this poster is throwing a bitch fit because people have read the comic and know whats going on. It doesn't spoil the freaking show if the show is adapted from a comic. Technically, the show is already spoiled.

In the comic, Merle doesn't exist..but Hershel is a LOT like Merle in terms of his attitude. In the show, Hershel is just a humble religious farmer...in the comic, he's a sometimes humble religious farmer redneck that uses the N-word.

I suppose the blood is not a problem as long as there aren't breaks in your skin for it to enter your bloodstream. Technically, they are carriers of the Virus. It's similar to people who are carriers for diseases that don't affect them until there is a trigger to set it off...which I think is why the bite actually turns people.

Either that or the zombies just have some killer Komodo Dragon saliva that just kills people and then everyone comes back as zombies :biggrin:

more like don't post it in this thread - post it in another thread, since this thread is about the TV show.

i am not sure why this concept is so hard for some people to understand. i think that most of them understand it just don't want to admit they do and want to act tough and continue to do so. it happened in the previous thread and i'm sure it will happen here.

i may have to learn how to use the ignore feature on these forums shortly.

Julie and Chris. Didn't see that one coming did you?

How many people from the group don't make it?
It's a zombie show, you should expect most of them to die. You've watched zombie movies before haven't you?

Who ends up hooking up?
Patricia and Dexter. No surprise there, right? She's more annoying than Lori.

What's the source of the zombie infection?
That's a mystery.

What is Meryl going to do when he comes back?
There is no Merle.

Might as well tell us all now and ruin the show for millions of people, since that info is already out there!
Spoilers don't ruin anything. People actually tend to enjoy a story more if they know what's coming.

you need to take some troll lessons from some of the other posters around here, that was a pretty pathetic attempt.

Good job ignoring rest of my post. I alread ysaid they have done things differently and plan to haev differences, so those anwsers are not as easy to give.

Secondly I never read the comics so I do not know, even what happens after they get to the prision via comics. (As creators even stated on the talking dead show after the walking dead, anwsers we know from comics and not the show)

Third, don't ask if you don't want to know. The info is out there, so it is only a spoiler if you ask/look for it. I have not, I found out the differences by google searching the differences after the fact. And thus learned the name of the black lady and so on. Not really that big of spoilers.

You also have to decide what is/isn't a spoiler.

If I said the name of a lady someone asked, and why shes even there. Thats a legitmate question and not a spoiler as its just a name.

If I was to tell people something like that after being in the prision for a year Rick turns into a 6 armed, green bug-eyed alien with 1000 teeth.

That would be a spoiler.

Exactly.


I wonder if Rick is going to lose his hand like he did in the comic. :biggrin:
