    If the zombie apocalypse were to happen this is the reason why it would spread, no one would believe it because of muh science until it was too late

    Walking dead's been around for a while and it improved over time. I'm pretty sure most shows like this suck really really hard in the first few episodes relative to what they become. I can't be sure but it has to be some combination of money/writers' confidence to do ballsy things or special effects guys figuring out how to do it better after the nth time. I had to catch up with walking dead in season 3 and I thought I couldn't watch anymore after watching seasons 1/2

    I doubt later they'll still do things like characters appearing from nowhere or strange disconnects like someone not believing there's a problem after seeing the leech worm thing attacking + autopsy, or a video of it. Or crappy special effects. WD definitely improved its special effects over the seasons. Same with game of thrones, imo (dragons, not skeletons though lol)

    So far I think everyone "picking it apart" has high hopes and is enjoying it. I like making fun of the weird shit after the episodes though

    Naw, I totally made that up. lol An attempt at humor and a play on my justifications to keep loving this show. But! if it comes to be true, I'm something like a genius.

    This. People are way overthinking this series. Take it for what it is. It's entertaining as fuck!

    The only thing that has given me pause so far was how Ansel(?)'s wife managed to hang herself on the staircase when the ceiling was like 20 feet up and not a ladder was in sight lol.

    Before finding Christ, she worked at the rodeo and was a professional lasso performer.

    A friend of mine got the Audio Books after the first few episodes. They're read by Ron Perlman which is kind of cool but he calls Eph "Eeph" like leaf w/o the L...

    Seems like a huge design flaw, I'm irritated just thinking about it.

    I just figured she tied the rope to a banister on the second floor.

    It was the one from the hospital they did the autopsy on. They were removing the evidence. The first thing I thought of was "Samwise, you idiot! For dumping a diseased dead body in a river"

    Ugh so many things I can say about that show. It's still decent but yea,...

    So I'm wondering about what might happen to these people after the worms infest them for a while. Will we see stages of infection turning them into something more dangerous? Also why is the old guy(bud guy in the suit, forgot his name) different than the mindless bloodsuckers? I'm sure we will find answers soon but that's whats on my mind.

    Also the woman who hung herself could have, like someone else said, did it from the 2nd story balcony or stood on the railing/window sill and then jumped.
