The Walking Dead Thread - Part 2

I was wondering how the tiger knew which person to pounce on in the middle of the battle...

Perhaps he was following the same script/cues as the guy in the blue bodysuit?

I wondered that as well, that was a little corny.

The tiger didn't know...if it was smart it would have taken out Negan right then and there, but nooo...

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on the first pounce. Shiva has been surrounded by people from the Kingdom wearing their armor so she's familiar with them. My animals don't attack me, or those family & friends they are familiar with. Looking at the yard where they put Rick & Carl on their knees there was no one else in that area besides them and other Saviors. Ezekiel could have spent time training her to attack on command, or not to attack others in Kingdom armor. Police dogs usually don't attack other officers on sight. Never tried to train a tiger so I don't know.

As far as the second attack on the guy behind the car, not sure. It seems that whatever they were shooting at was a decent distance away so that would mean it was predominately Saviors in the immediate area. The camera angle is too tight to tell where anyone else was or which direction Shiva came from.


I'll forgive the Shiva snafu much easier than I will the rifles with backward or no sights, infinite mags, Carl using a missing eye to line up shots, etc. Those are technical errors that are easy to avoid if the production staff is paying attention. They've been making them since the Glock 'safety' in the first episode.

Hear ya AR - they spend a ton of money producing these shows, you'd think there'd be a weapons expert somewhere checking this stuff.

I was just watching an episode of "Secrets of the Dead" on PBS about the lost city of Z and I got to see a Conquistador carefully place the cap on the nipple of his 16th century "matchlock" right before he pulled the trigger.....

Damn Latte sipping, Indigo girls listening, Birkenstock wearing, kale eating hippies....

I used to put NPR on the radio or PBS on the tv to fight insomnia, now it just pisses me off.

Negan seems to put a lot of emphasis on power through weapons. Why doesn't he have a tank or several. No other military weapons other than rifles? How about an Apache? An Apache would definitely make the fight unfair.

An Apache warrior or Helicopter either one.....

Attack helicopters and modern tanks are maintenance intensive.

Attack helicopters and modern tanks are maintenance intensive.

Yeah . . . all helicopters are maintenance intensive. And fuel demands are high.

Since we're in the offseason, a few things I wish we could see:

- due to when filming occurs the show is always set in the summer / spring. Getting kind of old. Some of the best storylines in the comics involved winter, the elements, and the dead in the snow. Let's change things up a bit.

- We've gone from rural Georgia, Atlanta, Washington DC and now rural Virginia, and haven't seen one Wal-Mart, 7-11, or chain of ANY sort. It's starting to get silly. I can't believe any major chain wouldn't be interested in product placement. All the mom and pop shops just seem silly.

- And along the same lines - gun-crazy rural southeast and only NOW are they finding reloading equipment when it's a plot point? Shouldn't they have been tripping over it for years?

Its hard to carry a dillon 1050 and all equipment when migrating by foot since terminus

 

[Dino Bravo]

It seems to me it should be much harder for these survivors though. Especially with disease: why aren't more in the groups getting sick?

Yeah, you'd think there'd be the typical outbreaks associated with lots of dead bodies. Unless whatever "it" is antiseptic and is killing off the bacteria. Since they're rotting, I'd guess they're still susceptible to bacteria.
