The Walking Dead Season 2 Discussion *Spoilers*
- Thread starter PsychoPere
- Start date
Once your supplies run out, whattya got?
You'd need a crane operator and copter with pilot, too.
Plus hurricane season wouldn't be fun.
Nuclear submarine or an aircraft carrier might be another.
A more feasible solution for the characters in TWD would be to find a decent island on Lake Lanier. Being a man-made lake in the mountains/foothills of North Georgia, it has plenty to choose from. And since it's such a large lake, it would be easy to live off the fish. The only thing I'd worry about is if Buford Dam eventually gave way. By then, hopefully the walkers wouldn't be much of a problem.
I believe they weren't happy with his script, it wasn't "commercial" enough, so, it's been/being rewritten (Though I don't know to what degree). I believe the actual complaint was he was too true to the source material, which wouldn't be commercial enough.Clearly JMS can do no wrong.
Immediately upon the director coming on board, the script was rewritten. Turns out that it was rewritten *so* extensively that JMS no longer has a writing credit for the film. I think this is pretty unusual.

Not at all; welcome to Hollywood!
WWZ is required reading for those who want to survive the zombie apocalypse. Or at least those who will die DURING the zombie apocalypse, but safe in the knowledge that the world may eventually turn out more or less okay. :P

I don't know. Zombies may not be able to swim, but providing the water isn't too deep they can walk along a lake bed easy enough. It may even take them a while but Zak is nothing if not persistent and determined. On the other hand, if it's an island with cliffs on all sides, then that might make it the safest option. You'd still need enough square acreage to grow enough crops to feed yourselves, survive winter plus extra for emergencies AND a fresh water supply. Then there's the problem of fuel. Between fires and building material you might find yourself running low on trees after a year or two. No matter which way you cut it, I think that unless you can clear and make save a LARGE island (think Ireland, Iceland, Madagascar etc) then you're going to ultimately end up starving or freezing to death.
I'm not even going to get into the whole 'where could they go to survive' discussion. Thats a whole new discussion in itself.
Sat down and marathoned the entire second half of the series. Not bad. Amazing how the entire group dynamic has changed in only a few episodes. People who you previously couldn't stand *cough*Hershel*cough* have really stepped up to the plate now that the chips were down.
And its pretty damned amusing the amount of fan rage that Lori and Carl are generating. I hope the show producers are paying attention.
Haven't read the comic, but I hope that next season isn't just a retread of every bad post-apocolyptic movie ever made and some prison boss has decided to set himself up as the local warlord.
Can't really blame Rick for how he reacted toward the end. He's tried to be the nice guy all this time and look where thats got him. Maybe its time to give the 'alpha male' method a try.
Has anybody mentioned the fact that during the end battle, everyone was pulling off perfect headshots while hanging out the window of moving cars? Driving over grass no less? Probably the only thing that took me out of the story.

well they did have a fence. It would take years to build anything else.
And, they also had an early warning system in the form of a "Tower Guard" hanging out on top of the RV on lookout, but, of course Queen Lori thought that was a waste of time and a good "dosmetic duty" resource, that should be cooking and cleaning instead of "sunbathing"
Too bad Lori didn't think keeping an eye on her son was part of her proper female domestic duties.
Not necessarily on the prison side of things. Every prison has secured open air areas. Get some vegetables planted there and you'd be able to sustain yourself after a while.
(Looks around nervously, shuffles feet, wonders how to respond)
I'm trying to avoid getting sucked back into this discussion (you guys are going to keep it up till September, aren't you? ) but you can see Jon Bernthal going berzerk in a guest spot on Harry's Law sometime during May, before he moves on to LA Noir.
(Harry's Law is some sort of lawyer show that I'm surprised isn't cancelled yet.)

Okay, fine, I can't resist...it might be tempting to take a big ole cruise ship out to the middle of San Francisco Bay and just park there, but has anyone considered that decaying bodies float? I'm not at all convinced that the whole zombies-can't-swim philosophy is something I'd stake my life on.
