With all the dead soldiers in season 1, you would think they would have grabbed their weapons and ammo instead of the mishmash of guns they have now. Finally! I was waiting for that comment to post. With all that hardware around, including several APCs and M-1 TANKS fro chrissakes, they could have had one hell of a good time setting up a perimeter defense of that farm instead of trying with that obviously we-have-no-clue-about-guns Hollywood types. I mean all that stoopid biotch had for a weapon was a snub nosed five shot 38. I bet the crew in that prison did just that... Travis

I picked up a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide and my son and I read it on our road trip last weekend. It is very entertaining and provides some pretty useful tips regarding a failed society type scenario.

I also don't understand why these zombies are such a big threat. They move slow, and do not have weapons. In Dawn of the Dead, those zombies are really fast. On Walking Dead, they are slow, so worse case scenario you could just run. I also don't get why they're so strong. They can apparently tear open your abdomen with their fingers with one motion and start eating once they get hold of you.

The brain keeps us from using it all in order to keep us from harming ourselves. The zombie is merely a functioning brain stem. It uses all the strength a human can bring to bear.

You have obviously not watched Dawn of the Dead, the newer version. Yep. And the zombies in 28 Days Later were even faster runners.

Your right, I haven't watched the remake of DOTD. Let me rephrase that, I've watched all the original zombie movies and the only remake ive seen was NOLD. I thought that one sucked so bad that I would never watch a remake again. There were two Dawn of the Dead movies. The remake was many times better than the original on several levels. Both are good, though.

So How long will it take them to decay? Once the organs stop functioning... the brain stem will go Will the zombies just die off?

Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.

So
How long will it take them to decay?
Once the organs stop functioning... the brain stem will go
Will the zombies just die off?
In the series they discussed the possibility of the coming winter killing them off, i.e., freezing solid should stop their brain stem function.

That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Was the helicoptor in the very beginning of the finale a flashback? I didn't figure that one out.

They were showing what caused the herd of walkers to start walking in the direction of the farm, a series of random events that started with them hearing and seeing the helicopter.

That is what I thought, that it was real time and had recently occured to start those walkers moving.
