To not understand in Walking Dead

Why they smash so many cars up but that green Hyundai is pristine, and, as this zombie problem has been going of for a few years, how they got such an up to date model. Surely it wouldn't be designed?

Yes, thanks for that. It has been hard going my whole life not being able to distinguish what is fictionWink

hoppingmad · 09/11/2013 12:57

Of course it's real - it's one if those reality shows innit Confused

sashh · 09/11/2013 13:31

I don't think the zombies need much to eat, at Herschel's farm they were sharing a chicken.

pulledmuscle · 09/11/2013 14:29

Ahh, u lot are all watching the new series! I'll just wait til it comes on 5*, i'm still in mourning for Andrea Sad

MrsNormanBates · 09/11/2013 14:30

I think Carol's losing her sense of humanity and rick could see that. I think in a way he was saving her life as he knew Ty would kill her when he found out she burned Karen.

I really want to know Michonne's back story. Finding out her baby died was really upsetting and was the first time we got a glimpse of her background. My guess is she is some kind of ex military - some kind of secret service perhaps.

Love love love Darryl and wish he had a bigger role. Feel sorry for rick - all he wants to do is live a quiet life abd he deserves bit after keeping everyone alive for so long.

lolaisafuckertoo · 09/11/2013 15:01

Darryl seems so innocent about emotions the poor love. Yhough he would have to be power hosed to get near me. Zombies or not. Carol has grown so much since the start. I mean though, who wouldn't lose their humanity.
Couldn't eat a raw squirrel though.

MrsNormanBates · 09/11/2013 15:10

Agree Carol's character has grown abd developed loads. She's unrecognisable as the battered wife she started the show as. I always thought the way they handled sophias death was a bit blasé though. She lost her daughter but it was barely acknowledged after wards yet rick losing lori, Andrea losing her sister etc were.

NigellasGuest · 09/11/2013 15:13

how can I watch this? do I need Sky? (which I don't have Sad)

sashh · 09/11/2013 16:47

S4 is on Sky, Series 3 was on Ch5 or 5* in September, you can probably catch up online.

wigglesrock · 09/11/2013 16:50

Series 1 & 2 is on Lovefilm Instant & Series 3 is on discs from Lovefilm. Of course you could just embrace the inevitable & buy Series 1-3 boxset Blush

sashh · 09/11/2013 16:51

Or borrow them from wiggle?

NigellasGuest · 09/11/2013 17:23

will look into Lovefilm Instant!
shame it's not on Netflix - I got that so I could see Breaking Bad (and then proceeded to watch series 1-5 in about 10 days Blush) and I've been searching for something else to watch ever since. I think I fancy Walking Dead!

pulledmuscle · 09/11/2013 18:23

Nigellasguest, think u'll love the walking dead, i started watching it after they put the 1st series on again on channel 5, just before series 2, u cant not but become addicted!

FracturedViewOfLife · 09/11/2013 18:59

nigella it is on the US Netflix. Not the latest series but at least the first two. There are lots of ways to get it, maybe try googling?

I use a chrome plug in to view it. US Netflix has far more only than the UK one :)

Agnesboo · 09/11/2013 19:10

Netflix us is easy to get on iPad just change DNS on wifi settings to 109.123.111.24 and turn location services off.

You can change it back easily just make a note of what it was before you changed it.

You might have to turn iPad off and on again or log out and back into Netflix but I get it no problem have watched all of madmen and walking dead on US Netflix

What annoyed me last night is that they were leaving stuff behind I would be taking batteries, clothes, toys, blankets anything.

Also laughed when Rick and Carol walked in the house and everything was sparkly and non dusty Grin.

50shadesofknackered · 09/11/2013 19:59

I would definately be shagging best friends with Daryl anytime in a zombie apocalypse! I couldn't stand Carol but Rick is an arse for making her leave. I'd have just told him to fuck off, followed him back to the prison and denied everything.

PfftTheMagicDraco · 09/11/2013 20:08

the Hyundai is pristine because Hyundai sponsor TWP :D

garciasangria · 09/11/2013 21:01

Can anyone explain WHY WHY WHY they call them walkers/geeks/roamers (skin-eaters last night) and not zombies??!!!
This has bugged me since season 1 btw Grin

Dietfail · 09/11/2013 21:07

....I love walking dead.

poor carol, bad call rick. Daryl is gonna be mad.

Hershel looks like a hamster.

Dietfail · 09/11/2013 21:10

YY to all mrsnorman said.

Now im a religious TWD watcher but aside from seeing Michonne cry when holding little ass kicker I've missed or forgotten watching somthing to do with her loosing her baby?

TheCrumpetQueen · 09/11/2013 21:12

Isn't the illness down to them burying zombies in the ground, the worms then feed on them and they then feed the worms to the pigs?
They kept highlighting the worms during one episode so I thought the 'flu' thing was brought on by that.
Pretty stupid to bury zombies rather than burn IMO.

PatTheHammer · 09/11/2013 21:21

YY.....burn the zombies and get renewable energy into the bargain. Excellent solution.

I never made the links to the worms actually, just thought they were a decomposition image like beetles etc.

PatTheHammer · 09/11/2013 21:23

The black guy who met Rick in the first series had called them walkers hadn't he? That's when Rick had just got out of the hospital and didn't know anything about them.

My memories are not good enough to remember if the Z word has ever been mentioned by anyone.

50shadesofknackered · 09/11/2013 21:37

dietfail I don't think it has been mentioned, I think it was just inferred when she held the baby coz of the way she reacted!

MrsNormanBates · 09/11/2013 21:46

diet yes they haven't actually said Michonne list her baby just the scene where's she's holding Judith and crying implying she lost her own child. Sad. Really hope we get to see more Michonne and find out about her background.

crumpet yes that's an amazing explanation, could be the aeon behind the "flu" outbreak. And yes it does seem a bad idea to bury the dead instead of burning.

Did anyone else get a sense that Darryl and Michonne had a "moment" - thinking about the eyes comment.
