It is finally upon us.  Today and tomorrow AMC has the first two seasons in marathon showing.     Sunday night will be the premiere episode of the third season.   

I'm locked, loaded, honed and ready!

The marathon is a great thing while following Kona at the same time.

Starting my morning watching the marathon getting rid. Cleaning guns, sharpening axes, storing food and building shelter preping for the zombie hoards.Laughing

Isn't this what we're really training for?  Outside of close combat training or archery skills, triathlon seems the next best capability in a Zombie Apocalypse.  MTB skills also would seem to help, if you can't stay on a road with skinny tires.

Which is why I would support a triathlon where you were required to carry a weapon and shoot targets at the end for time bonuses...

Type of weapon would be up to you, while you could hit longer distance targets better with a long rifle, a pistol would be smaller and easier to carry during a swim and run.

I guess you could carry a knife and stab targets in the metal head, but that would require much running around after a long day.

OK, close quarters combat, with zombies, inside a prison, does not seem optimal! 

Too easy to get cornered (and eaten!) and not have a way out...

Necessary, if you want to live there, but my achilles is already sore without it getting chomped on...much less chopped off!

Can't wait for next week...

and I hate to wait!

Seems like they tried (spray painting exit arrows), but you have to be able to seal off entries...somehow...

will chopping off a limb prevent you from turning into a zombie? bloodstream is fast....faster than a few chops to the leg....i have not read the comics, but hope Hershie makes it. 

boy, if that was real, you'd have to really live day to day and not take ANYTHING for granted...

I like how the opening segment showed how rough their existence has been since leaving the farm: traveling from house to house, having to sweep each one, often (always) "close quarters combat," scrounging to find that next meal (dog food!), having to leave quickly when the zombie hoard finds them, and start all over in another place. By comparison, the promise that a relatively stable, protected life inside the prison brings makes it worth the short-term efforts and dangers.

Am I missing something on how the virus works?

"We're all infected".  So when you die, you come back, regardless of cause of death.

BUT, if you get bit, you get the fever, die, then come back.

Is it something else that's activated from the bite of a walker?

From what I understand the virus is airborn.... Everyone that is alive can be infected from inhaling it and most likely already is since they have been in close proximty to zombies...they have to be killed in any manor to come back as a zombie. The masses of dead that are strewn around were either dead before inhaling it or have had tbi to their brain stem.

Iowaman - 2012-10-14 9:42 PM Holy S#'t. I can't belive he hacked off Hershel's leg.

I can't believe he didn't choose to hack it off at the joint, which would have been substantially easier than going through the bones. You're still going to go through the artery (IOW, you'll probably bleed out anyway), but whacking is easier there.

The biggest difference in the main group is that now all are combat experienced and combat ready. They worked well together as a flying column.   All are showing signs of PTSD.    Even Herchel's daughters think nothing of finishing off a zombie.   Poor Andrea, don't know yet what to make of her.  She was showing promise.   Guess without Shane's guidance she's had a set back.   Michonne is a machine.

Didn't think of that.  My first thought was that they better have a fire going already to cauterize the wound.  But of course not, viewers would probably think it's cruel (esp. after using a hatchet as a medical instrument).  TV/movie viewers are accustomed to seeing people get huge wounds then get patched up with dressing and be fine, when in reality - especially a post-apocalyptic world - that's a great way to get infected and die...

Nah--they'd show it. They showed when Merle cauterized his stump in season 1.

Hey, guys, lets go into the halls of this prison, not seal off entries, make a hell of a lot of noise with a spray can, while sneaking up on each corner waving flashlights.  Should have just skipped down the halls singing Thriller by Michael Jackson.
