I always find their choice of vehicle a bit odd too. They can pretty much have anything they want at this point. Why not pick something fuel efficient. And you would think they would be spending more of their time foraging for fuel. All those nearby farms likely had fuel tanks. |

Maggie is hot You know, I always knew Merle would be back, but the guy I'm wondering about is Morgan. The black guy from the pilot, & his son The longer they wait, the less likely that the son will come back. He'll be getting too old looking. He was 13 way back in the pilot, & when the new season starts, he'll be 15. It hasn't been 2 years in their time line. & it doesn't look like they're showing up in season 3, at least not right away. There's a big difference between 13 & 16 Sophia is gone now, & the only other kid is Carl. He was 11 in season one. He's 13 now. Pretty soon, a time jump will be necessary to keep his character's age realistic. It might be after this season, for season 4 |

So I'm watching the marathon, & I can't ignore the overwhelming proof that I've been picking up on the whole time The very 1st little girl in the pilot, that Rick shoots, she picks up her teddy bear, like it was an autonomic response. Morgan's wife showing up at the house her husband & son lived in with her. She's not aware of their presence. She just walks up to it out of habit. In the season 2 premier there's 3 geeks sitting in the church, just sitting there for no reason, except habit Why would they be doing that? What's a reanimated flesh eating corpse need with a church or a teddy bear? Dr. Jenner (@CDC) was right about a lot, but was wrong about one thing. The only explanation for these instances is that there is still something of the persons left in them, even if it's just a random synapse being fired periodically. Even if the reanimated brain is only being functioned at or around the brain stem, there's still something of the person being animated or at the very least reanimated, such that there's some kind of residual echo of their identity remaining.... or more She picks up the teddy bear because it's hers. They're in the church because it's their church. They would go there regularly, just like Morgan's wife regularly lived in that home with him & the boy. No one would ever want to admit it. It's even hard for the viewer to admit it, but it's evident that they remember, & in that sense, some of them is still in there That's the freakiest part of this show |

There is an RV sales lot in just about every sizable town or city in America. The group could easily pick up several fully loaded brand new RV's. The could also pick up enough spare parts to last them an eternity. I live in a small town with less than 12,000 people. Yet, we have three large car sales lots. I bet you could draw a 25 mile cirle around any large population center and find dozens of car lots. The group could easily pick up several vehicles to fit different roles. And yes, all the spare parts they could handle. In a SHTF scenario I would have a field day... But, I'll ignore all that. Because the most assinine thing they did was ignore all the uparmored humvees and other armored vehicles littering the CDC's grounds. Not to mention weapons, ammunition and supplies. I saw that and almost stopped watching the show because of their stupidity. There's also National Guard Armories and Police Stations that need looting. So so so many opportunities out there, yet they rely on a broken, beat up and unreliable Winnebago. |

They were. They were held up there because the wife/mom had gotten bit & turned, I presume at that location, which she now periodically stumbles back to, unless Morgan finally got the guts to put her down. I'm not really sure what became of them though, & at the top of season two, Rick radios his last time to them about leaving Atlanta Chris Hardwick is hosting this marathon & he just asked what the most optimal weaponry would be for a zombie apocalypse. So I got to thinking... It's nice to have guns & ammo, but they're loud, & dangerous to handle in a panic unless you're a soldier. The crossbow is handy but you need to regain the arrows, & it's a one on one weapon, single shot at a time. I always cringe when Daryl wipes them on his pants. Wipe some food on your pants & then wipe the crust out of your eye in the morning & BAM, slobbering geek. They never think about cross contamination It occurs to me that I'd be much happier with just a samurai sword or two, & a full body suit of chainmail. Seems simplistic, but hey... no geeks could bite or tear through, & I'd just lop heads off at will |

I might dress it up though with a helmet of some kind. Maybe a full face motorcycle helmet, & a long black trench coat over the chainmail, & some samurai sheaths on my back. Baddass looking
Yeah, at that to the list of ridiculousness along with Merle sawing off his whole hand, when all he needed to do was break or remove his thumb. Oh yeah, & the entire well zombie scene Crush it's head with a stone or something & then fill that well with concrete. That water won't be no good to nobody ever again anyhow |

My weapons list for a SHTF scenario: adapted for the fictional Zombie Apocolypse![]() SOCOM II (a modernized M-14) for long range engagements. Semi-auto matic 7.62mm round. ![]() Kel-Tec KSG 12 guage shotgun for close range killing. Two magazine tubes. IMHO the best tool for zombies and regular home defense. With a price tag of $600 - $800, affordable and already on my Christmas list. ![]() Coldsteel USMC NCO sword. Unlike the official sword, this one is function with high quality carbon and a razor sharp edge. I might be tempted to use a katana, but I already own this (for show) and am partial to it's namesake. ![]() Cold Steel Boar Spear. Maybe not for everyone. It can be used in the old tyme pike formation, where part of the group used pikes to fend off attackers while the others use guns. May even be nice to keep geeks away from walls, fences, away from vehicles and such. ![]() Cold Steel war-club. Bash in brains and turn bones to meal. Cold steel makes super tough weapons. Their line of resin clubs and bats are unbreakable. If you do, they'll replace it for free. I own several CS products and will vouch for them. ![]() Ka-Bar Kukri. Famous traditional knife of the Ghurkahs = Badass Indians in British Army Service. (Not Ka-Bar of course) Better than an axe IMO and very handy in the outdoors. I love it. If you go Ka-Bar's website, you'll see that they a complete line of Zombie fighting knives. Ka-Bar USMC fighting knife. Last ditch, Oh shit. Ka-Bar is the best quality/value knives on the market. |

Perhaps, but you could find a use for each and every one. Probably more appropriate as a team TO&E rather than just one person. And that may vary with what you want to do in each situation. It gives you options. If it were just regular people, the only things on that list I'd carry would be the knives. |

Yeah, in the case of a scenario like the show, I love the sword. Definitely want one of those, & I like the knife. Gotta have a good knife on you, & I'd like that doodad that looks like a jungle machete. I might want to fore go that other stuff & opt for a battle axe, tomahawk style, to do both bashing on the one side & chopping with the other. That's about all I'm going to want to carry on me, besides one reliable, easy to use & maintain rifle, that has rather commonplace ammo. Be nice if it was semi-automatic The spear is a great century type weapon, like you were saying, but I don't know that I'd want to carry one, in addition to the other blades, & the war club is cool looking, but I think I'd prefer the combat axe. I'm not going to want to be toting a bunch of stuff, & that club seems like extra weight, even though I'm sure it's light weight from the look of it. It's too much bulk for me, especially since I'll be wanting to weigh myself down with a full covering of chainmail. Ain't no geek fingers & teeth getting though steel chain links I'm amazed no one has ever thought of that in a zombie movie/show. It seems like the perfect zombie repellant. A character in that might be invincible, especially if they are armed properly |

You can make it. It's just little chain links & you could use something lighter weight than steel, like aluminum. Point being, your main danger in Zombieland is the teeth & claws of a human, which are the least threatening of just about any animal in the mammalia class |

For what, taking down zombies? Sure explosives have their uses. If I were with a unit, of at least 4-6 people, I'd want a nice array of different things. Some demo like plastique, grenades, bazooka or rocket launcher, any of those would be handy. Plus a flame thrower for herd barbecuing, & a vehicle with a mounted machine gun of some kind But on your own, all that crap is cumbersome & not always readily useable. No sir, The one man slice & dice is your best tactic. A katana, a machete, an axe, some protective gear like chainmail, & maybe one rifle preferably with a scope, & one clip load pistol (Mostly for protection from the other humans you might face off with, that have them) btw, in Zombieland, if I were part of a ragtag unit, I'd probably end up being the medic, & again, I love the RV for that job. If it was a small unit we could do an A-Team pimping on it, & combat fit it |
