By my count, it's been about two years. Rick had been in a coma for two or three months, add a couple until the farm then nine months for Lori's pregnancy and now little Judith seems to be at least three or four months. Could be longer, but that's how I figure it.

At the beginning of this season didn't it say "5 months later" or something? Meaning 5 months had passed between taking in the Governor's people to the start of this season. Maybe I'm thinking of one of the other series I'm watching...

Decent episode last night. Didn't see it coming, RE: Carol. It will be very interesting to see whether Rick stays hush and picks Carol over Tyrese or tells him and lets justice be done. Or the writers will fail us yet again and it will turn into something ridiculous (Rick stays hush, Tyrese forgets and the issue miraculously disappears).

I'm also getting tired of Carl's Female Doggoiness. We all know what parent he got that from. I wish Rick would just say to him, "Look. One day I'm going to be gone. Carol, Darryl, Michonne, Herschel, Glen, and Maggie will be gone. You will be left with the other children. So for f*ck's sake, stop Female Doggoing and look after those kids because one day you're going to be in my role and those kids will be all you have."

You might be right, FSeven, I'm not sure and don't remember. Judith does seem to hold her head up fairly well, even though she doesn't seem to be sitting up on her own, so that's why my brain went to "at least 3-4 months", and was thinking "less than 6 months." Guess I wasn't too far off the mark, although I should know better than to go by the appearance and abilities of babies. We all know how TV and movies portray newborns! XD

I actually saw the Carol thing coming because it fits her, in a way. I'm willing to bet Rick will try and hush the whole thing. At this stage, they really can't afford turning on each other, and Tyrese flying into a rage and killing people helps no one.

They could easily lie and say one of the dead sick people probably did it.

This is what they need:

Thank goodness everyone was wearing bandanas around their necks. (You absorb flu germs through your neck, right?)

Medical masks and soap: Two things that, for some reason, do not exist in the zombie apocalypse.

Maybe they raided this company:

So I guess they found the herd that will evict them from the prison. Had to happen sooner or later I guess.

Spoiler:

In the season trailer, it showed them in that car possibly hearing a radio transmission about a survivor camp. Could it be that this was an overrun camp, and this was an automated radio transmission?

I do think that this heard gets them out of the prison

Going to the comic books...

Spoiler:

This is where they start heading to DC I think along with the associated characters which have supposedly been cast already.

I think this is an interesting situation. Let's say you have a castle/ prison and you know you have a month before a hoard of 75,000 zombies (the number came from the previous week's Talking Dead) comes knocking.

Do you think with ~30 people you could prepare the site to the point where it survives the attack/ you kill all the zombies?

I think in an actual castle you would be able to survive assuming you stored enough food/water. Stone walls don't care about a moving wall of flesh. Killing them just takes planning and time. Building obstacles/ redirecting the hoard could be possible to the point where they could be picked off. (Assuming a large amount were taken out with traps and fires.)

Also, why would someone send a distress call out over FM? I guess there would be more radios in the world that could pick it up but the range would be pretty short. I would have thought someone in the group would have scavenged a short wave radio by now.

In the episode “Guts” from season two

Spoiler:

Rick and Glenn cover themselves in zombie blood and viscera as a camouflage to evade zombies.

With this knowledge, why aren’t they scavenging tyvek coveralls and making zombie ghillie suits to wear on patrols?

Seems like it would save them a lot of hassle.

In that same vein, what about those walkers that Michione had as pets? Cutting off the walker's jaws kept them docile, but also kept other walkers away.

All they need to do is capture some walkers, cut off their jaws, and tie them up outside the fence.

They didn't actually repel zombies, though, they just acted as camouflage. A somewhat more hygienic version of smearing themselves with zombie goo.

Their zombie senses adapted, or something.

Time to call in the scoops.

It would probably make you more likely to get shot by someone mistaking you for a zombie. Andrea shot Darryl, and he was just on his way back after a rough day.

Also, for it to work they have to move and act like zombies too, not just smell and look like them. It'd work well enough for when they just need to walk through a crowd of zombies, but actually looking for supplies and communicating with each other would break the disguise. A single zombie seeing through the disguise would be all it takes for it to become a disaster. That said, you'd think they would have the stuff for it with them on their scouting/scavenging missions for if they ever become that desperate.

Of all the shows issues, I do not feel "Why aren't these people willing to drape themselves in rotting, infected, disease-ridden, sh*t-filled entrails (when hygiene consists of sun-heated water buckets) all the time?" rates very high.

I can see this not working for all scenarios. You can't cover 30 people in goo and walk through a herd. People will lose their nerve, especially children.

Using it for scavenge runs for supplies makes all the sense in the world.
There's really no biding science to this, especially for TV Shows; but I would expect the herd attacking the car and going after the survivors, regardless of them being covered in goo or not.

Also, I grow tired of the "driver takes looks away while driving" cliché.

They needed to throw in the product placement Charger's zombie slalom run somehow though.

I completely agree on that lays point, Hobbes. I literally crying out "keep your eyes on the road!!!!" During that part. It was so obvious he'd hit something.

Funny that he backed up and got stuck on a pile of zombies while driving a Charger.

The same exact thing happened to me except:

Replace the Charger with a 1973 Plymouth Satellite.
Replace the Zombies with snow pile.

My car lifted off the ground and was stuck. I had to get a ride to work while my dad got a shovel to move the snow from under the gas tank.

I also like to imagine the behind the scenes conversation with the product placement manager complaining about how showing the Charger stuck on the zombies doesn't show the car in the best light and offering helpful suggestions like "Can it not get stuck?"

I had to laugh at that part of the episode. They tried really hard with the product placement and comments, "Fastest one we've got." Only to end up stuck on a few zombies.

I can rationalize the use of the Hyundai if you argue gas mileage. Realistically, it would seem, they should all be driving 4 wheel drive vehicles or big dump trucks.

They need to put snow plows on the front of their vehicles to push the zombies aside.
