Yeah, that was the moment when I thought "this is very dumb".

Is Daryl's crossbow starting to look silly (sillier) at this point? When there's 10 zillion zombies around, is it an effective weapon, especially since you can't go and fetch your arrows after each kill?

The bowling ball is his weapon of choice for smashing zombie heads, much as others use a tiny knife or hammer.

I agree!

I think the FtWD writers' thought process went like this:
"It would be very bad-ass for Daniel to lead a whole mob of zombies to the compound [high fives all around room]"

The Basketball Zombie Diaries.

Madison also cut a hole in the fence a while ago!

As a child, the threat of being locked in a freezer or personal sauna box seemed very real to me, based upon early 70s sitcoms.

I've never seen a door that needs a cardreader to get through it from both sides. They're always on one side, to keep people out, not in.

We need more anti-zombie battleships! Coincidentally, they build battleships in my district.

There had been a dearth of patented TWD "prolonged face-punching" scenes in the spin-off, so Travis had to pick up the slack. #facepunching

I was hoping the writers would finally do something surprising and original, and have Strand (with Nick) get eaten by zombies after setting him up as the sinister, outsized, plot-generating antagonist/protagonist for season two, But nope, he was saved JUST IN TIME. And disposable character Liza was the one who got…

What kind of door locks from BOTH sides, though? I've worked in buildings with cardreaders before, and they only stop people from getting IN. I don't believe the military would have installed special versions to block entry *and* exit.

Same here! I thought the shot went on long enough that there would be something cool as an endnote to the season, but nope!

I saw the film first, and thought it was okay, but dumb. Then

"This is a TV show that has no reason to exist. It has no point to make.
It has no energy. It's writers churning out scripts because they have
to, not because it's a story they're passionate about. Everyone
involved should just walk away now."

That's why FTWD reeks of "reluctant afterthought done for the money".

"What's sad is that I put much more thought into any of this in about 10
minutes than the people who make their living writing for this show did
in two years." So true!

WWZ would have been a great mini-series or maybe even series. Too bad they just took the title and made a completely different (and illogical) movie.

That's not in the book, just the movie, which is completely different. It's part of the cockamamie Damon Lindelof re-write. The book actually does make sense and is well worth reading.
