I stopped reading his point of view at the insult in the first line of his post.   :dizzy:

Meh.  It was cinematic artistic license.  It added some drama and the viewer got to ask themselves how they were going to get past an armored zombie.  The funny thing was, the armor not only protected the zombie, but also, to some extent, it's potential victim.  That part was what I found amusing.  BTW, did you count all of their fingers to make sure none were bitten off?

Jeez, Howard, if you look at all entertainment in such a critical way, I'm not sure why you bother.  Granted, I can't bear to watch movies which revolve heavily around computers, because I know enough about them to know that much of it is implausible.  So I usually don't bother.  But seriously (?), we are talking about a show about a zombie apocalypse.   I have a hard time understanding why it's so easy for you to leap precariously past the ludicrous premise in order to pick out tiny "unrealistic" details as it unfolds :).

I don't watch the show so I don't want to derail the thread (which I enjoy reading), but there is no way I would call TV a superior medium to a book. There is so much more that can be done with a book if the reader's mind is open to it. With TV, it is what it is. You can have a great script but lousy actors and/or effects budget, and there goes the story. With a book, the only limit is how you visualize it.

Back to your zombie talk while I sit in the corner.

CpCaveman:
I love the walking dead, (and game of thrones dont wanna start a "fued" ) but i`ve seen its getting too mainstream, *spoiler alert* series 4 of walking dead will involve a 20 year old wizard with a scar that just discovered women *spoiler end* on the books versus tv theme, are the game of thrones books as good as the tv or just hard work? and the walking dead any good author for those or is it still just graphic novels? (I know certain types hate the word "comic`s) hurry up and fix pratchett thats what i say... gonna sit back and watch now :)

Things are not always what they seem in that series.... Just sayin'.   ;)
