    Particularly since they've had car problems with the camper in multiple episodes now. You are in a world with tons of cars that have the keys in the ignition. Seems like they would upgrade.

    Find a brand new camper, put some brush guards on it and outfit it with a turret on top. Maybe lead your caravan with an army hummer.

    Haha, a turret. :)

    But yeah, why can't they get one of those nice fancy campers that are surely abandoned

    For some reason, I can relate more to this show than Fx's american horror story. I do like both of them.

    Some other things that didn't make sense to me:

    1. Blondie protested not being able to get her gun back from the old man. She gave that longwinded speech to old man about wanting her gun and why. She said something like "I'm not going out there without my gun." Then as soon as she was done with her speech she just walked off. Weird.

    2. Mom being mad at Rick about her daughter. Doesn't even make sense. The man chased some zombies into the woods to save her daughter and managed to kill them both. She ran off on her own and he's to blame? That doesn't even make sense. What, she wanted him to hold her daughter in his arms while he used a free hand to fight zombies? This was just a silly waste of time.

    3. The church scene. Made absolutely no sense that zombies would be sitting in the pews. No sense whatsoever.

    4. Spread of zombieitis. I don't understand how it spreads. If it can spread by a zombie biting you, why doesn't it spread from zombie blood flying all over you as you chop them up? Or when a dead zombie body is put on top of black guy that is ripped open?

    5. This is just annoying to me, but when Rick opens with his lame monologue to Morgan he says something about the trip to the military base being 120 miles and seems to act like that is this incredibly long journey. 120 miles? Seems like the trip to Atlanta was long than that.

    My co-worker who is a zombie expert told me that they have basic rudementary instincts. So they heard the church bells and went there to sit because that is what they used to do when they were human. :eek:

    1. She's blonde, can't read too much into it.
    2. She was mad that he left her in the ditch by herself. Why couldnt he have found a big rock or branch closer to her so that he could have kept an eye on her. Mom was just looking for someone to be mad at.
    3. It's a tv show. :) They just wanted it to be creepy, and zombies in a church is pretty creepy.
    4. Only contagious when it get in your blood stream, not if you're covered in it. But yeah, there was a pretty good chance that black guy would have gotten it... Maybe he just got lucky. It is a tv show. haha
    5. Yeah, 120 miles isn't that long. You could do that on foot in a couple of weeks if need be (shorter without the elderly and kids).

    6. I said this earlier, but if I were Morgan and that blonde girl wanted to come alone with me, I'd go to the nearest drug store and stock up on condoms. Even if she didn't want it, not much she can do to stop it. ;)

    I mean I guess. They did sort of establish that in season 1 with Morgan's wife going back to her home. Just seemed weird to me.

    They have cars lol. It was just so lame. "120 miles. Long and perilous journey." (not a direct quote) I mean dang, it was like he was describing the trip through the mines of Moria all they way to Mt. Doom on foot!

    You have cars. On a normal day this takes you 2 hours. So under these new circumstances it takes what...6-10 hours to go 120 miles? LOL It was just so weak. His whole monologue was sissified though.

    The cop is Shane. Man, forget the condoms. Just make sure he understands that there is no child support in this new world of ours.

    Yeah, I meant Shane. I guess you're right... If she gets knocked up, I'm sure they can find a clothes hanger somewhere.

    There is definitely way too much blood flying around with nobody getting infected.

    And how did the black guy recover so quickly? And why is the racist white guy so nice all of a sudden?

    Also, can't zombies smell? They can obviously see and hear.

    There were dead bodies everywhere on that freeway. It's possible that even if they can smell that their sense of smell would be overloaded.

    But yeah, I just think there is way too much blood flying around all the time for this infection to not be spreading to the main characters. If it is really this is easy to avoid infection despite a lack of sanitary precaution then shame on all the idiots who managed to get themselves infected in the early stages.

    The black guy recovering was a pretty crazy thing as well. He was gashed up pretty bad and was passing out from blood loss. No problem we've got a band-aid!

    It hasn't been explained in the show how you become infected. It does in the comic, though.

    Also, the cutting open of the zombie was gratuitous. You're tracking this girl through faint impressions in leaf litter and you can't tell if she encountered a zombie who ate her? First, one zombie couldn't eat a whole kid. Second, it's not like zombies are worried about covering their tracks... there would be all kinds of signs and the trail would have ended at that point. It was just ridiculous.

    This and not upgrading the cars are the 2 main things.

    And I thought it was established in season 1 that the zombies could smell humans? Guess not.

    Still gonna watch though.

    Yeah, and could you really tell if he ate the girl or someone else?
