I still think they should go looking for supplies in a nursing home, and have to deal with a horde of zombies in power wheelchairs.
Does that still work? I used to have an 89 Mazda pickup you could start that way (in fact, I had to several times. Good thing I lived on a hill). But I’m not all that knowledgeable about cars. With the advances that have been made in automotive technology, I wasn’t sure it could still happen.
Or, here’s a radical idea: Jumper cables. Or grabbing a few auto batteries and just keeping them stored in the RV. Have the adapter kit for top mount/side mount batteries. Hook the battery up, start the car. While it’s still running, take the battery out and use it on the next car. As long as the alternator’s working, there’s no reason they couldn’t disconnect the battery with the car running.
You’re sugesting that it made no sense for the group’s infiltration expert to start following the lead of the zoned out incompetent guy who got Noah killed by panicking and running away and then tried to kill Glenn? That running down a fenced in alley and unloading a handgun into an oncoming horde didn’t seem Glennish?
Well, one detail struck me; as they were running down the alley, there was a fire-escape ladder on camera left, with stuff piled on top of the lower segment. As someone who remembers the early days of first-person shooter games, it looked to me like a decorative barrier, i.e. a player in such a game could easily encounter flimsy-looking barricades blocking promising avenues of escape or exploration, but the barricades are a permanent part of the map - they can’t be moved at all. They’re just there to make the fictional game world appear larger than it is - the player really only has one route to follow.
I’m sure I’m not articulating this well, but I figure sometime during the rehearsals of this scene, somebody noticed the convenient fire escape ladder and thought “Huh - it would make sense for Glenn and whats-his-face to climb up this and pull the ladder up after them, so we better rule that out. Props!”
You put it in 2nd, because you’re usually going faster than you want to be in 1st by the time the engine turns over, and you don’t want to make the engine have to run a high RPM. I have a manual transmission in my late 90s vehicle, and it works just fine. Had to use it just a few months ago.
Push-start (or pop-start) works with a dead battery, but requires a working alternator (or in very old cars generator) and an intact belt to spin it. Spark plugs need some electricity to fire!
One thing that’s bugging me is just how blasé they’re getting about being ripped apart by zombies. You have sprained ankle girl telling everyone to go on without her and leave her to get ripped apart, then shoulder bite guy getting chomped on the other side of the fence.
If I were part of the group I’d make it pretty explicit that in either of those circumstances, stab me in the fucking head!
It includes information from outside the televised content of the show that pertains to Glenn’s fate. It references a character who is not yet on the show but who will be. Pretty spoilery.
I was mostly joking, upthread, when I riffed on The Affair for how they are going to resolve the Glenn issue, but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what will happen. We will see that scene with him and Nicholas (aka, Sebastian ) again, from a different perspective, and it will be clear that it’s the latter being disemboweled, not Glenn.
And? Since you seem confused, I’ll tell you the problem, but be forewarned, it contains spoliers:
The link shows photos of Glenn on set, in Glenn costume, with a character from the comics named Jesus, anong others. It pretty clearly shows that Glenn was not killed. The text of the post states that Glenn survives to meet Jesus in a future episode.
) again, from a different perspective, and it will be clear that it’s the latter being disemboweled, not Glenn.
