After awhile you'd get used to it.  Especially when you travel in packs of hundreds or thousands of zombies.

And you dont care about reality and consistency.

Its cleaned and cured so it can be worn safetly.   Its gross and nasty and smelly to keep zombies at bay.

 

Sure - lets go with BOTH.

The behavior keeps them at bay, not the smell. Talk too loudly and they'll all turn on you. You have to pretend to be one of them, it's not as simple as just walking around with a mask on.

I look forward to 20,000+ zombies marching on Alexandria and Hilltop and destroying them both.  Should be fun.  I hope Negan is still alive when it happens, too.

A real ending would be Rick and Negan getting gay married and adopting a bunch of 3rd world orphans and raising them on Herschel's farm.

The best summary of TWD is still:

"The Walking Dead" takes place in an alternate reality in which no one has heard the word "zombie" but the name "Negan" exists"

If you think breaking away from the source material is a good decision, all you have to do is watch Fear the Walking Dead to see that it is not.

Walking Dead has gotten bad, but it hasn't been THAT bad since season 2.

The comic has some really interesting stuff going on atm. Getting away from the source material was the worst thing they could do. 

[Fryfan]

maybe I have different interests than others but I have heard a lot of complaints about the comic just spinning its wheels and the show bringing out the worst of that.

 

Big heard of walkers heading to alexandria... yeah sounds boring as fug.

 

Perhaps the commonwealth could be of interest but so far..meh are they good..bad both...who fuging cares...and the show would mess it up even more - no way on the AMC budget can they pull of a city.  I am still clueless to how many people really lived in alexandria.

I've never felt like the comic spins it's wheels, especially not like the show.  There are new characters that get face time that nobody gives a fug about because more exciting poo is going on somewhere else, but you can't have constant action, because that gets old really quickly.

The comic only starts to feel like it's dragging at times once you've caught up with the current issue and you have to wait a month, and in our immediately disposable society, that is just unbearable to some people.

The show will take one issue and stretch out over 3 episodes, and that's what they're doing right now. Back in seasons 3-6, they were just churning through the source material quickly, and sticking to it.

why did Tara start wearing a darker tee?

Yeah and there weren't all these instances of people cutting themselves with their own infected weapons in the comics, either. As far as the zombie skin goes, it has been cured into leather.  It's not like they're just slathering putrefaction all over their naked bodies.

They fuged Carl's character up about as badly as they could have.

Well on both TWD and Fear they literally coat there bodies head to toe in zombies guts to walk among them.

that isn’t what the show has explained.  Pretty sure zombies don’t hold hands in a long ass human chain and sneak around,  Yeah, talking sets them off but silent people get zeroed in on by zombies too.   TV world has always told the story it is the smell of zombie guts that throws them off and it needs to be a fresh

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Or is that just what Rick and gang thinks?

Last night's episode was pretty solid my only beef is that I drive a dodge charger , no way a Ford explorer is going to catch me. This episode definitely felt like a comic book page coming to life, I'd give it a 4 out of 5 bloody bats.

[Fryfan]

So they didnt have to introduce the zombie guts infecting people thing - not with where it seems.  Negan captured - lucielle missing, saviors plan to wipe out the hilltop.

I feel like these last two episodes have been steps in a better direction - can the walking dead keep it up though..
