I often think how I would survive in that world. Join a group and go on a long walk ,a la TWD, or would I hole up in an apartment with as much food as i can loot hope for the best. I think I'd hole myself up.

You'll probably change your mind after a few months or years of isolation.

Well, realistically, his holed-up-in-an-apartment food would last a few weeks tops.  Even less time if one assumes the water system to apartment blocks effectively shuts down.

Bottled water :)

But yeah, my plan doesn't have longterm appeal. But I could go out scavenging now and then. It's just than, I'm almost 50, won't survive long battling zombies at my age.

It was OK.  Still doesn't really answer the real questions. Like just how did he get so Fucked up. Clearing people and writing crazy shit like that... I thought rick had already pulled him back?
Why is it people are surviving happily until the moment they meet a protagonist when suddenly stupid disease overrides survival?
Just what is the W guys issue?

Though I guess it does confirm that WD  zombies hate animals

Both needed some toughening up in the beginning too.  Carol's character development is a great part of the show.  Go back and watch some of those early episodes on Netflix and watch how her character started out.

yes, I remember her from the first season. Wife-beater husband and zombie daughter. She has been through a lot.

Yeah, Carol has gone through a huge character development change. She's become pretty damn awesome actually.

Scary is the way I would describe it.  I am not sure the good hearted Carol is actually still in there.  Part of what makes the character great in this series.

KRonn

Agreed on that. I'm waiting to see what her character becomes. She could certainly become more scary, or perhaps continue to be a strong member of the group. So far a tough minded person, and one who is able to play the sweet home maker and ingratiating herself with everyone, mainly as a ploy to keep a watch on things and others. She has certainly shown her tough resourcefulness a number of times before Alexandria, such as at Terminus where she smeared Walker blood on her to mingle with the Walkers, then get close enough to blow up a fuel tank at Terminus to help the group escape. Scary or unpredictable in how she killed a couple of sick people back at the prison.

You can trick a zombie with makeup?  I thought they operated on smell or something like that.

That's why she used Walker blood. ;)

Yeah, I think they established that in the first couple episodes of the show, that smearing yourself in zombie guts makes for legit zombie-camo.
