That was the case in WWZ (book, not movie), and it wasn’t just the older more rotten zombies. A lot of the fresh ones were naked to due having died wearing hospital gowns or sleepwear. Americans are fine with violence & gore, but nudity is huge taboo. Even if TWD was on a pay cable I’d bet they’d limit most of the nudity to living characters. Personally I have no desire to see that level of realism on a regular basis; especially since most of the male zombies…
…would either have perpetual hard-ons, or their genitals completely rotted away.
Kind of funny to hear that; I’ve been thinking lately that you’d see more variety in zombies’ clothing. Most of them seem to be wearing rather dull colored work clothes. Sure, I’d see where wandering around in the woods for a couple years could get your clothes rather faded, but where’s the Hare Krishna zombie? The Business Suit Zombie? The Nightgown Zombie? The Urban Cowboy zombie? The Kid In The Big Johnson T Shirt zombie?
The zombie horde in this episode all look like they work at the same factory.
Perhaps. Makes sense; the extras wouldn’t want to ruin their own clothes, after all. But you’d think if nothing else, they’d want to personalize some of them for merchandising purposes.
TWD SERIES 15 ACTION FIGURES, consisting of WOLF PONCHO CAROL, INVISIBLE DARYL, NIGHTGOWN ZOMBIE, BUG EYED ZOMBIE, REANIMATED ALEXANDRIA GUY, BIG JOHNSON ZOMBIE… hell, could they shorten the advertising by selling ad space on zombie shirts, I wonder?
I think people thinking here that there was some sort of easy solution to this problem are wrong. The scale was so massive that all the burn-em, bulldoze em, well, they’d fail.
I got the impression it was like tens of thousands of them. So kill a couple of thousand in efficient manner with machinery, fire, whatever, and you’ve still got 15000 zombies piling over the corpses getting to you. Overwhelming everything and anything. Those bulldozer’s engines will clog up, the sheer crush of the crowd would collapse the bulldozer’s cabin, and that’s it for you. Thousands of burning zombies, plus everything burning around you, well that’s a good plan…
What did bug me though was why one car and bike to lead them. Say the car’s engine fails, well, its a big problem. I’d have two cars at least, so if one hits mechanical problems, the others can get into the alternative car…
Helps strengthens the wishy-washy Alexandrians, making them more fit and better able to survive
Does not burn valuable fuel
But - am I the only one to see a possible alternative to the all the other methods of quarry zombie killing? These guys should get a load of road gravel and make some slings. Stand on the edge of the quarry next to a mound of rocks and you get unlimited practice at perfecting your technique while zapping zekes in the head with rocks. New weapons skills AND fewer zombies at the same time!
You still might want to use Rick’s plan to empty the quarry at some point, but once you do that set up some noise in quarry to lure more walkers in, then get to more target practice.
