AMC's The Walking Dead

His name was Morgan, and they were hunkered in their house until going their separate ways. I'm kind of surprised they left that story line hanging.

 

That's not what I said. I just don't see her being angry at someone for doing something he had to do, especially when she knew it. She was even more hopeless about finding her daughter than Daryl.

 

The Morgan stuff was very compelling. Honestly, I think it was the best of the series. It felt very real. It'd be great if they brought him and Dwayne back.

 

The series isn't over yet.

 

Even without Morgan on screen, I enjoyed Rick's nightly broadcasts on the walkie talkie, almost an audio diary of his thoughts about the world gone to hell. It's a pretty transparent device, but it was a cool way to handle it without doing a voiceover, a la NPH in Doogie Howser or the captain's log on Star Trek. It felt like he was really (hopelessly) talking to someone who might hear his deepest thoughts.

I'd definitely enjoy seeing Morgan return. I've been a big fan of Lennie James since "Jericho."

 

Carol act irrationally? Nah.

And Rick isn't to blame in either case. If the kid had done what he told her she wouldn't have ended up in the barn.

 

This probably deserves its own thread, but here is a slight thread jack.

Could you survive a zombie apocalypse, assuming you made it through the initial outbreak, yes/no - why either way:

YES. To quote Hank Jr. "a country boy can survive"

I live in a non-metro area, so the initial surge would be easier to get through. The down side of that is, the swarms of walkers I'd have to put down would almost certainly be family or people I know. I grew up hunting and fishing, so I can live off the land. I'm a veteran and have training to where I'm not going to walk blindly into a building or area or around a corner without properly checking it for trouble. I'm smart enough to avoid areas that would be highly polluted with zombies. Plus, when it comes time to sleep, etc., I'm going to do a pretty good job of securing my perimeter. Once it came time to rebuild, I'm a pretty handy carpenter and grew up on a farm, so establishing an agrarian society would come naturally.

 

You're hired!

 

There is a website somewhere where you can take a test...I'll look it up after deadline, unless someone can post it. I think it had something to do with World War Z...or maybe it was found while searching WWZ stuff.

 

Here's a link to a zombie survival game posted earlier in this thread:

I've thought about this topic a lot lately (What? The Walking Dead inspires me to think!) and I definitely think I could survive the initial outbreak and probably the first six months or so of post-takeover life (AKA where the Walking Dead crew are right now). After that though? I don't know. Assuming there's no power, that means no internet which means I can't research how to grow things and figure out basic survival skills so I'd probably kill a rabid squirrel, eat it and die.
