Yeah. Probably because they filmed the show in the real world on active rails and not an actual zombie apocalypse.
You can’t talk someone out of crazy. Particularly once that someone has already stabbed someone else to death.
Also it’s not a “double murder”. It’s two single murders.
I’m not a health care professional, but my understanding is that she is supposed to be manifesting early signs of general TV/movie psychoticness. Disorganized or bizarre thought processes. Experimenting on and torturing animals. Fits of rage or sobbing. Inappropriate attachment to things (i.e. playing with zombies). Kind of a mishmash of disorders from the DSM manual.
Even two years into the zombie apocalypse I don’t think I could sleep on train tracks. With my luck I’d get run over by the world’s last train enthusiast, even if it were just one of those old fashioned hand cranked maintenance things (that exist in all old movies so I assume existed in some form in the real world).
They twice discussed that the color of the smoke meant the fire was out. Was the smoke previously a color that meant the fire was not out? (I already deleted the episode from my DVR, so can’t check).
Regardless, I think they’re wrong about white smoke meaning a fire is out. I believe it usually just means there is water vapor mixed in with the smoke, making it appear white or at least a lighter color than without the vapor.
Some copper or rust colored spray paint would have taken care of that and wouldn’t have affected the trains.
I thought about that too, it could have just meant a tree fell on the first and it was all the leaves and live wood burning. Even so, if the zombies are attracted to fire, they shouldn’t have wandered away until the fire went out.
OTOH, we can just work on the assumption that Mika was wrong about the color of the smoke (and Carol didn’t know or didn’t correct her or didn’t care) and the Zombies walked away when it was just smoldering.
Yes, I don’t actually care if they got it wrong. There are a lot of problems and things that bother me about the show, but that is not something I would include on the list.
Why the heck are they sleeping on train tracks or out in the open anyway? Are there parts of suburban / rural Georgia where one can literally spend an entire day hiking along a road and never come across any sort of structure that might serve as a shelter?
Kind of off topic-ish, but at what point in the Zombie Apocalypse do shuffling zombies cease becoming a terrifying horror and just a dangerous nuisance? Like bears or coyotes.
I mean once you have a relatively safe home like the prison or Woodbury or presumably Terminus, I would think a major chore each day would be going out in body armor and hatchets and clearing zombies. Or just lead them off the edge of a cliff with some noisemakers or raw meat.
Well they’re horrifying at first because they’re basically people that want to eat you and you’re freaking out in general. Later, you learn about them so you know how fast they run or shuffle (unless you’re in the Walking Dead and their speed is dependent on plot needs). But anyway, once you know what you’re dealing with, you can handle them, unless you get stuck with a bunch of them in tight quarters. I thought earlier episodes showed how they all learned to work in concert, and knew how to efficiently kill them.
As a mother who’s dealt with babies a LOT, it’s a little amusing for me to watch how they deal with the baby actor playing Judith. “Baby actor” amuses me for one. But she was obviously not crying in the scene where Mica comes and shoots the walker that falls out of the house. She was being shot (with a camera) from the back and the crying was added in later. And then Tyrese walking away at the end with Judith presumably strapped to his back? Where was her head? Babies are bigger than lunch, you know.
Yeah, a lot of this season has been them roughing it in the wilderness as if they are stranded in the middle of deepest, darkest Africa. I guess this makes their survival seem more challenging and interesting but might give some people the idea that the state of Georgia is largely undeveloped.
I definitely did not see some of that coming. Lizzie killing Mica was a complete surprise (and shock), but at that point I was pretty sure that they were going to euthanize Lizzie. What choice did they have?
The next thing I honestly expected after that was Carol turning the gun on herself. I think that still could happen.
I stopped watching awhile back – before the Governor season was over – but I’ve kept up with the threads waiting to hear about an episode with positive feedback. So I watched “Clear” and this one. If they can write two good episodes, why can’t they write ten or twelve?
There’ve been some complaints about the girls’ acting, but I thought they were fine, especially the younger one.
