Can we talk about the Walking Dead for a minute? [spoilers]steemCreated with Sketch.

I have some grievances.

  1. At some point, all the zombies got the memo: main characters have delicious faces. Their faces are so delicious in fact, that you'd be a fool of a zombie to go for anything else. Got a main character's arm or leg? Don't even bother. With other characters and randos, sure an arm is fine, but not a main character.

  2. There are these things called buildings. These building things tend to have roofs. Zombies can't use ladders. Why this foolproof method of evading zombies isn't used all the time is beyond me.

  3. They nerfed zombies. In the beginning, Rick is swinging full force with a pick axe to bash a skill. A few seasons later and a 16 year old girl is doing one in with a high heel.

  4. This one applies to lots of post-apocalyptic stories. Fish reproduce quickly. After two years without global commercial fishing operations, catching fish would be easy.

  5. Somehow there are still cars with gas on the side of the road. Somehow there are still enough bullets floating around to waste clips shooting at windows. How are they not out of bullets? At this point the exchange rate between bullets and guns should be about 1:1. The U.S. has more guns than people, so if we assume, conservatively, that 80% of the population is gone, that's five guns for every person. It's hard to know how many bullets are floating around, but we can surmise that the average bullets used per person went through the roof. The only people who should have bullets at this point are groups that set up shop in munitions factories or depots.

  6. Where are the other regional powers? How about a group of submariners or some other cadre of soldiers? Or a gang that set up in a munitions depot? Surely Negan isn't the only swinging dick with the idea of being a king in the new world.

  7. Rick's aim when shooting at a zombie's head: 100% guaranteed hit. Rick's aim shooting at Negans: 1% at best.

  8. Why is Jesus the only one that covers his body. I get that it's hot in the south, but you think they'd prioritize not dying over comfort. Or why not have a bunch of gut suits ready to go (take some tarp, fashion into poncho, apply adhesive, apply guts)? In general the intestinal smell camo is vastly underused.

  9. .50 caliber machine gun at point black range against an unarmored vehicle. Come on. Seriously. They even added a spark animation on the windshield. The windshield, for god's sake. Somebody actually thought, "yeah, lets put one there and ask the audience to believe that a .50 caliber round at point blank range will bounce of glass."

That's all I can think of right now. Just wanted to get that off my chest before watching the latest episode after work tonight.
