When you siphon gas you will get it in your mouth. At least I have every time. I might be doing wrong though. It is not pleasant.
You are overlooking the smelly corpse problem. All those cars in the traffic jam had foul-smelling corpses in them. Would you really trade your non-corpse-smell car for one of these? Or would you just siphon some gas?
He’s also the guy who has a crush on his best friend’s wife (played by Keira Knightley) in Love, Actually.
Not unless the zombies know how to track the fleeing humans. Otherwise the humans can lose them pretty easily by simply getting beyond their sight.
I think it ran about 1:03 including preview clips of the coming season.
So why weren’t all the corpses in the cars zombies? Do you suppose maybe there is a time limit on how long a zombie can go without eating, and then they die for real?
Doesn’t gas in cars go bad after a couple months due to volatile chemicals evaporating + things like water contamination? How long ago did the zombie infection hit?
Myth, says I. I have used gas that was years old with no ill effects.
I thought it was way too stretched out. The search for the girl took forever, in terms of screen time. Also, I think it would have better if we had had some indication of why the girl veered off in the wrong direction.
A couple of months, I believe.
What is this about a farm? I didn’t see any farm in what I saw Sunday night.
I liked the episode but had some nitpicks as well.
Last season they made a big deal over the walkers sense of smell, covering themselves with rotting flesh and guts, but apparently all they needed to do was hide under a car.
Why haven’t they hit a hardware or auto parts store yet?
Why are they ciphoning gas the old-fashion petty criminal way? There are tons of ciphons pumps available and they are simple to build.
Better yet how many better more reliable vehicles do they need to pass? I’m assuming some of them still have keys in them.
Why not just drive the water truck along with you?
The little girl is 12!? What’s with the stuffed animal?
Why was Shane packing up a beat-up Honda when there was that beautiful yellow mustang beside the RV?
I can’t answer your other questions, but I think it’s the same toy that the little girl who left with her family in the 5th episode of the first season gave her (the Hispanic family who was going to drive to Birmingham instead of going with the group to the CDC). It could be that it’s become a transitional object for her.
Spoiler from the comic book. Wish people wouldn’t do those so casually although this one seems to be of a minor nature.
It was in the previews for next week’s episode, at the end of the premiere on Sunday. Should that be spoilered? (legitimate question, not snark)
Speaking personally, Kolga, I don’t watch previews, so I would rather material from previews not be left open.
Ah, that too then. Someone mentioned it before as part of the comic book.
I personally strong prefer people avoid people putting in spoilers from “next week on…”, because I, and lots of other people, avoid those. They’re not made by the writers of the show, they’re made by a marketing team - so they aren’t concerned with carefully teasing people, they reveal spoilers or misdirect you in ways that still hamper your viewing because you’re always waiting for whatever it is they implied will happen.
So I would ask you all to please spoiler box stuff from those segments so that I and the other people that avoid those what are essentially officially sanctioned spoilers may continue to do so. I’m not asking for you not to discuss it, just to spoiler box it so people who want to avoid it can do so.
Question:
The sound effect used when they moved the car zombies was a “crunching/crackling” sound.
Does that mean the Z’s in the cars were dessicated because they couldn’t get out of their vehicles and got “baked” into zombie jerky?
>>provided they were zombies - I guess they could have died from starvation or something else - does everyone who just “dies” automatically become a zombie, regardless of how they died?
I thought this as well.
And wasn’t the dude taking the Absopure shower being unwise? Fresh water may be highly sought after at some point (I know you can boil yer own, but still).
mmm
Hey, I have a question and I’m a bit shocked no one has pondered this yet :
Just what exactly did Dr Jenner say to Rick (he whispered in his ear) after he opened the doors to the CDC? (This was in the season one finale)
Rick’s opening monologue on the roof - he was talking on the walkie talkie letting Morgan know that the CDC was a dead end. He says, “I met a man there - a scientist. He told me something. He told me…It doesn’t matter. What matters is, we’re moving on.”
What is so damn secret that he couldn’t even say it into a walkie talkie while speaking to someone who’s probably not even listening??
Actually, back in post #38 panamajack speculates on this very question in relation to a post I made earlier in the thread. With knowledge of the comics, there are two probable answers (In the comics, they never go to the CDC, so there is not a directly parallel scene to draw an exact answer from). One of the possiblilities, at least, could be guessed from only watching the show. I’ll spoiler them here because they are both revealed in the comics:
One possibility is that he told Rick that Lori is pregnant (remember that Jenner took blood samples from everyone). In the comics, Lori is pregnant with Shane’s baby from her brief time with him while she thought Rick was dead.
Another possibility is that Jenner told Rick that all living people are already infected with the zombie virus. It just remains dormant until death. So even if you die of natural causes or non-zombie-related injury, you will still become a zombie.
