OT: The Walking Dead

[The Maroon Pug]

Overall not very exciting episode except for the last few minutes to me. A few things stood out to me.
Why so many frogs in that one creek bed? That was interesting, like the creek was dried at a rapid pace.
How on earth does not one tree/limb falls on the barn? A little far fetch for me. But clean shavin' Aaron coming along made things a lot more interesting going forward. Thoughts? Discuss.

Hair?

Have you noticed Abraham Ford's hair. Perfect!

I think this was the writers attempt to insert god into the show. They all had given up hope. Maggie’s says she doesn't believe in god.Gabriel throws his caller into the fire. When all seem lost they get the rain,the shelter, Maggie sees and reaches for the bible and somehow the hand of god steps in and saves them for the tornado. Then the two walk out to see the Sun rise. There is something magical or religious about the Sun Rise.

Just guessing.

Not one limb hitting the barn has got to be the most far fetched unbelievable thing in this show so far**

But we are talking about a TV show that has the dead rising up and eating the living. What''s more far fetched than that?

** That Judith almost never cries.

What bothered me was where the walkers at the door were supposed to have gone. When they walked out in the morning, they were all a dozen feet or more away from the door. And there wasn't any debris or a tree right at the door. Apparently all the walkers decided to back away and regroup, and then got demolished by falling trees. I can suspend disbelief for the rising dead, and so that cars that have been sitting still for more than a year or two still manage to have juice in the battery, and gas somehow still being available, but that just seemed unnecessarily sloppy.

Maybe the 50, 60, 70mph wind blew the walkers back? Didn't bother me too much.

 

[LawDawg97]

No kidding. Seemed obvious they

got blown into/sucked in the path of a low-grade tornado. At least that's what the path of twisted trees seemed to indicate.

 

[The Maroon Pug]

Would anyone drink the water "from a friend"? I have not made it this far in the graphic novels, so I have no clue if that is a big deal or not. I would have boiled it first then drank it.
As a QE, I got a pretty good laugh when he said "quality assurance" before attempting to drink it.

 

[thekimmer]

Noticed the same things......

Yeah kind of a so-so episode. I noticed a few of those things too. I know TV shows try to make things appear as normal as they can but they do bend things a bit to fit story lines & sometimes go so far as to affect the plausibility. Sure its a show who's very premise is completely impossible. After all, even if the dead could somehow reanimate, how can they 'live' for months and years without eating, even underwater, under the ground, or on fire but I digress. With that said you have to just accept the wild premise, its the day-to-day stuff that you notice. Frogs would not be found dead in a creek bed like that. The folks would also be able to find water easily in rural virginia even in the most severe drought conditions or else the woods would not look anything like what they did. Also, their hair never changes. As someone else has mentioned abraham's perfect style. Also, michone's dreads stands out. More likely scenario would be find a pair of scissors and keep hair cropped very close. Male and female.

The way that Maggie woke up in the following scene, I thought it was a dream sequence. Maybe to show how she was starting to crack. Pretty confusing.

Wouldn't winds that high blow that rickety barn over?

Yeah I thought it was a dream. Maybe the tornado picked up those walkers along the way and deposited them under trees. Who knows?

 

[coackjek]

Come on guys, the walkers were just looking for shelter. They were going to be civil.

Just guessing.

This was my guess as well. Maggie has been struggling with faith since the farm but losing the last of her family was her breaking point. Inner snuggle between the past and the present.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

Perhaps. There probably was some damage that we just didn't see. I realize it was a little far-fetched. But it's ok for something like that to happen occasionally. It's going to take a much bigger jump over the shark tank before it bothers me.

How on earth does not one tree/limb falls on the barn? A little far fetch for me.

Saw something like that after Katrina on Hwy 35 between Mt. Olive and Mize. Three large (1 person couldn't reach around them) oak trees uprooted in 3 different directions on 3 sides of an undamaged house. I actually pulled over and stopped because I didn't believe what I was seeing.

 

[Dawgzilla]

No, but I sure would have let Eugene drink it! And when it started raining I would have emptied out one of those gallon jugs and let it collect rain water.

That happened in Tupelo last April. Trees down around houses fell in different directions in some case and missed some houses.

 

[Wooly17er]

Yeah - but do you think the hotdog bun matches the ketchup?
