first stage we all would trust the government would take control of the problem and fix it. Even if you didn't trust the government you would still be in the same boat as the ones who did. No one wants to believe life as you know it is over. People like the old man that's been in a world where the government is evil and oppressing will have those same feeling but little power to do anything but tell their story...as we saw in this show.

After things gets to the point of no return and we feel we are on our own and while we all think we would know what to do...we wouldn't have a clue. At this point you are cut off you don't know what is going on the next city over much less the next state. But without this information...each of us would hold out hope that 50 to 100 miles away...it's better. We would hold out for that till we reached the point that we know this is our life and from that point on....

we get to where Rick and his group got to after leaving the farm

I agree with this. Places like rural Georgia are where you want to be. Low populations areas that are near resources. If you can't make it there, you are fracked.

And we are starting to get the the point in the walking dead where if you claim and carve out a safe spot, someone stronger will be looking to take it from you. Society has broken down and human life truly has no value.

Woot! Can't wait for the season premiere!

when it reached the point that I would leave home, an island is my next choice. Basically you need what medieval builders wanted for a castle - an easily defensible approach, then you need a fresh water supply and food sources.

Anchoring offshore creates a little island, and forays into populated areas can result in food and fresh water. But staying anchored in one place makes you vulnerable to piracy. So move it every couple of days, go up coast and down coast.

I just never got engaged by any FTWD characters. I know they were being intentionally slow into the story, but I was rooting for the Walkers by the end.

FWIW, I don't think there is an epicenter or that this problem is local. I think it is worldwide and from what CDC said (and has been born out) they are all already infected.

Thats bothered me alot. How can the whole world be infected with something? Is it in the Ozone or something??

And it had to be something that changed resent...

tons of people dies everyday but one day all of a sudden they die and turn

So if it's something in all of us it must be in the blood stream that the body can't fight after the heart stops pumping the blood and to get it in all of us it had to be air bore or the water. Water wouldn't make it world wide. So it must be some unknown germ and with that it must have a D-Day and if you know the cause that's half the battle to defeating it. Or at least slowing it down to where you can control the dead. And if your body can fight it off while you are still alive...a cure should be easy

But we are talking about comic books and now a TV show so a cure wouldn't be good for either :)

Paul Bryant Jr released a toxin that poisoned the world when Bama went on probation as retaliation.


I almost wish they would explore how it happened.

True but.....
Its just a Comic book like Star Trek was just a TV show.

Iknow it is apocalyptic times, but our characters quickly vacated the moral high ground. Salazar leaves alot to be desired, how he tortured the soldier and was prepared to kill him. Madison and Travis just left without saying anythings to their soon to be slaughtered neighbors. They released all of the infected. Idid feel a little for Nick when he told his Mom he never knew where he was going and now everyone is where he has been.

The season premier killed. I can't believe they went straight to the herd to start the season. My guess is that the wolves are at the gates honking the horn.

My guess on the horn is Gabriel.

I thought this thread was about my UCF Knights

I was thinking the kid might be on the horn. That episode was really bizarre to me. All the back and forth and not really explaining what was going on and why.

The time jumps didn't bother me and I really liked all the action (as opposed to FTWD) but the one thing that struck me as odd was the whole concept of driving the heard away from the area. Made no sense to me. They had them all trapped in one location. Why didn't they firebomb it and kill them all? Yes, I realize some were about to get out but they could have blocked them with all those cars they lined on that road. Makes no sense to drive thousands of walkers down the road 20 miles so they can kill more innocent people in neighboring areas or possibly later migrate back down to Alexandria.

Zombie Defense 101: a walking non-burning zombie is easy to deal with. Many of them together is a whole other matter.

Zombie Defense 102: One burning zombie is bad, particularly in an area full of flammable things. Thousands of zombies in an area of flammable things will get you killed.

Still, I see where you are coming from. LOL

The full plan was never disclosed, but the indication was that they would kill them all 20 miles away.

I don't think that we'll ever find out what caused the "outbreak". However, I would not be surprised to see it teased as the series is winding down.

My guess: the "outbreak" is no outbreak at all. It's either spiritual in nature or it's evolutionary, possibly some long forgotten dormant recessive gene that has kicked in in all of us at the same time, somehow.

As for the horn: I think that it's either the young girl, who has for some reason sympathized with the Wolves or (most likely) just the Wolves themselves.

I think that the young lady will play a larger part in the next few episodes. Whose side she's on is anyone's guess.

Comic spoilers ahead so stop reading unless you don't care. The herd will get taken out but it will be at Alexandria. The horn replaced the gunshots (that killed the comics equivalent of the wolves) to draw the herd to the community but it will probably play out really similar to the comics with at least 1 of our main group dying.
