Everybody is so caught up in this Glen thing that no body notices all the other dumb shit that goes on.
Glen isn’t dead, the writers decided that the actor who plays him is dead or not.
I like how these things can sneak up on you when the writers decide they have to get rid of someone.
When it calls for it, one person can fight through a hundred of these zombies.
Remember the governor. We all thought he was dead meat, but he showed up again.
After all that these guys have been through, they still argue with some idiot over what to do- Screw the idiots, let 'em die.
When, somebody gets grabbed, they stand around looking at them instead of running.
It’s a TV show.
One problem is if Glen is dead, no one knows it. He’ll just be missing until either his parts or zombie Glen are discovered, since the only other person who was with him at the time didn’t make it. And in a herd that size, it’s not like he’d be easy to spot.
I have a question. For whose benefit are Abraham and Sasha running their hazard lights? Like they’re escorting an oversized tractor trailer or something?
And what possible benefit does Daryl’s have escorting them on a motorcycle? If the car breaks down, it’s not like he can fit both on the back of his bike.
And why was the rest of the gang on foot back to Alexandria? Didn’t they all drive there?
And the plan is really to just drive them 20 miles away? Not off a railroad trestle or into another quarry or something? Hell, why didn’t they just take a couple of bulldozers or steamrollers and just drive back and forth through the hoard?
Rick’s plans are stupid.

And if he is, then the show has one fewer character that I was invested in, and I wasn’t invested in very many. I suppose if it boiled down to Carol and she maintained her current level of awesomeness, I’d stick around…[/QUOTE]
One wonders if the folks running the show have begun a test to see if they will lose watchers by killling off beloved characters. 
Oh Christ, he will attack Maggie, and she will have to de-zombify him.
crap.
To quote another nutso female character, but from an 80’s movie, “I won’t be ignored, [del]Dan[/del] Bryan Ekers!” Unless, of course you have me on Ignore. Then I guess I pretty much will be ignored.
No one her is missing any of those things, and if you actually read this thread you’d know that. Most of us can agonize over whether or not Glen is dead AND also notice all the silly crap that goes on this show.
What I’d love to see:
Scene showing Glen realizing the walkers are eating Nicholas on top of his body. His only safe move is to squeeze under the dumpster and fight off walkers…
Shit happens and a day or so later Rick and the crew go looking for Glen after walkers have moved on. Since Michonne knew they were heading to a some feed store (or something), they track his route down and spot the dumpster with zombie Nicholas. Nicholas gets a knife to the head; then they see Glen still fighting for his life under the dumpster. They pull him out from under to rescue him. He’s ALIVE!..
but missing his legs.
Everyone is happy*.
*I mean us as viewers and critics of the show. They can’t have him just walk away from a zombie dogpile with no help around at for literally miles. You can’t make the zombies “dangerous” if no one important is ever in danger.
Ugh. I find Morgan’s character to be boring and irritating. Carol needs to off him.
Yeah, I did notice that. First rule of ZA-- always lock the ef’in door!!
I wondered that myself, and decided that the flashing lights act as another attractant.
I think the idea is that he can scoot off and get stragglers.
ISTR that the people on foot were ‘riding herd’ on the zombies, making sure they stay on the path. They wanted to stay hidden in the woods while they watched
The walkers are like sheep, and will keep following the leader. Leading them 20 miles out, they will continue walking away from the town. But really, I think a better plan would be to shore up the exits to the quarry and set up a ‘processing station’ where they can let a few out at a time and de-animate them. It would take forever, but they have time and everyone would be employed.
The show relies on people making stupid decisions.
I’m a non-violent person. But in that reality I would not have let the Wolves go. I’d set up the afore-mentioned kill station and systematically go about killing the zombies. (In fact, it sounded like the Alexandrians had been clearing out the zombies before Rick & Co. showed up.)
Obligatory timely parody: The Walking Dead Survival Guide - YouTube
I thought Rick killed the first zombie with his knife, which either broke or got stuck in the zombie, then killed the second with his bare hand (punching through the mush into the brain or something), then took the machete from the second and killed the third. So I was wondering if he cut his hand on the skull or teeth of the second, in which case he’d get infected.
But on re-watching it looks like he cut his left hand on the machete sticking out of the second zombies chest while killing it with what was left of the broken blade of his knife with the right. So I don’t think he’s infected. It was a red herring.
You mean, except for when Michonne did it again while the gang was temporarily spilt up after the jail attack?
I think the idea was that Rick’s boo boo was bleeding and he was mixing it up with zombie blood or whatever.
If they would be aware of what’s going on around them, the zombies wouldn’t be able to
“sneak” up on them.
Of course, then the writers would have to come up with another way of killing off the victim of the week. ( heaven forbid they have write something new)
The first thing they would learn is to be aware of what’s going on around them.
You have to remember that if this show was taken off tomorrow, the writers would be writing for a cop show or western.
Do you die from getting Walker blood in an open wound? If that were the case, I think everyone in Rick’s group would be dead by now.
That’s actually the main reason I think he’s still alive. You can’t have angst over his death if nobody ever knows for sure if he’s dead.
Early on, they were worried about being scratched by zombies. Later, they were covering themselves in zombie guts without mentioning if they have any open wounds. I think (and I know this has been debated here) that the pathogen that causes reanimation is not itself deadly; but a different pathogen delivered by a bite results in a fatal illness. Sort of like a Komodo dragon bite. So I think it’s probably not a big deal that Rick cut himself.
Except that they were making a big deal about it. On The Talking Dead Chris Hardwicke said something about an event in the comic books – he didn’t spoil it – and that Rick’s cutting himself might be the start of it.
Talking dead said that the idea of getting sick from zombie blood was dismissed a while back.
And I agree with someone else that Morgan is boring and annoying.
I was saying the same thing to my wife last night. It’s an emotional waste of time to kill him without anyone else knowing. We would have to see scenes of her worrying and wondering about Glenn… but we know he’s dead so we wouldn’t care.
You could have Michonne tell her where she last saw her and Maggie could go search the town and find his remains.
I wonder if inoculation with zombie blood kills the zombie germ/fungus/bacteria/evil magic spell. :dubious:
There is some reason they did it, of course.
Again, I think zombie Glenn will show up, and be put down by Maggie.
