TWD Season 5

[Hershmeister]

For those who watched the talking dead, The nazi references were creepy - the whole terminus notion about the industrialization of evil, and auto killing the weak, dropping gas in from above.....all added to the creep factor

[Oh Shoot]

I still didn't get the "candle room" though. Since thinking creepy, thinking maybe candles made from human fat? Some sick memorial to all those they're killed and eaten?

 

Think I saw in some previews we're gonna see more of Gareth? If so,  guess we'll find out eventually.

That episode was awesome! Glad terminus didn't turn into a season long fight for survival.

Carol is a badass!

Hope to hear from Beth soon

It was to remember the time when they were prisoners, and those that died when they were 'weak.'

That was awesome! I wasn't home to watch it last night, so I just now saw it on AMC's website. They took care of business and appear to be moving on. I'm glad the Python is still in the show :)

Notice he called it a 44? Am I crazy, or is it a 357?

Its whatever sounds more badazz at the time, it morphs calibers lol

[Troutburger]

I truly believed they would spend 3/4 of this season stuck in a box car...

Glad they didn't! I have renewed faith in the writers/producers lol. Great season opener.

I was hoping that he was referring to another gun that might be stashed in the bag or just trying to make the stash more enticing to the cannibals. Otherwise that's a little disappointing if they missed a technicality like that.

Me too. Glad they got out quick and didn't get butchered.

he was embellishing the contents of the bag,he also said there was a compound bow and red handled machete neither of which were shown and I don't recall seeing in the season finale either

[hipower]

Just got around to watching it. Renewed my interest....totally.

 

Very good start to the new season.

If you really want to pick nits, did you notice that the AK47 that rick captured from the Termian had an AK74 butt stock on it?

[ac3boyz]

My nit pick is where the hell did all the automatic rifles come from?

[z0mbies fear me]

I'm more concerned with the bottomless mags that they have. Rick fired at least a couple hundred rounds out of that AK and he only had the mag that was in it when he commandeered it.

[hipower]

And can't these guys find the selector switch? Good lord they waste a full mag and get one or two hits. Single shot, writers. Please.

 

And hardly ever see a mag run dry or a mag change with them.

 

EDIT

Dang! zombiesfearme got in while I was typing!

Yep, I mentioned this early in first season. Even if you wanted to claim the "logic" that military arsenals were raided and those rifles got scattered around, those guns would almost all be 3 shot burst models.

 

And of course, no suspension of belief possible at all for all the many full auto AKs throughout the series.

 

And sure, full auto anything is stupid for use on Zeds where precision is mandatory.

I assumed AKs were easier to convert to full auto than ARs because I assumed they were simpler guns to build, like that one made from a shovel.

It is ironic that they featured dialogue where one guy is concerned about round counts and then show bottomless mags not too long later. If you want a plausible answer, we'll just say they picked up mags from the bodies of the fallen cannibals off camera.

[tnguy]

Maybe that's someone they can run into in a later show... "Here guys, let me show you something..."

Maybe this new guy, the military guy guarding the genius with the cure, could show him.

I still think Eugene will prove to be a fraud, just a line of BS he's used to get other people to protect him.

That has been my thinking since I first saw the Sean Austin clone.

[ac3boyz]

I must have missed the episode with the comprehensive firearm training.  I'm amazed at even the children's ability to make head shot after head shot sometimes even one handed without any muzzle flip or any sign of recoil under such extreme pressure situations.

 

rant off:  I LOVE this show.

for real ... but maybe i'm just jealous they can shoot better than me, on the move, with hundreds of zombies chasing them,  with full auto fire, without any training ...

 

i also like this show (well, i didn't care for last season)

I look at it as OJT and survival of the fittest;  All the bad shots have become zombies.

 

I keep hearing people say they didn't like the last season.   I didn't think it was all that bad, I especially liked the flowers episode/scene.
