There was no need they would have liked a few more weapons, but it was not a necesaty, they were happy sitting in that prison waiting to die, now that have an "emeny" and need to defend them selfs, they need as much as possible

Agree - but if it really was as close and easy to get to (one roadblock that we saw), they easily could have (and should have) gone before now, regardless of the governor. Just my opinion - nothing wrong with having more guns than you need in a zombie apocalypse.

I thought this was a great episode.

Somebody else already said it better but I don't worry about the nitpicky stuff, I just sit back and enjoy the show.

I'm obviously overthinking this, but you'd think in almost any post-apocalyptic there'd come a point where you'd used up pretty much all of the ammo and most of the resources. I suppose you could grow more food, and it'd depend on how many people the apocalypse killed though. But without people around to manufacture new things, you'd think there'd be some things that would eventually just cease to exist.

They deal with that in the comic. They have a guy who can make bullets now. I'm sure this concept will introduced in the show in the 5th or 6th season.

Also, they are in the south. They have more than their fair share of guns. There are tens of millions of guns in America with many, many more bullets. It would take a really long time to run out if that 7000:1 walker:human ratio is roughly correct.

I am not even sure you can run out of bullets, especially in the South.

So, in the end, Rick and Company failed in their mission to retrieve additional weapons. As far I as noticed, they left empty handed, and left that large arsenal with the crazy man.

It also seems to me that it wasn't more weapons that they needed (because, really - how many machine-guns can one person carry?); what they needed more of was ammo! Ammo for the weapons they already have, that's what they need to stock-pile.

Huh? They took a bunch of guns. Michonne had a duffel bag full and they loaded up the baby carriage with stuff as well. They loaded the trunk of the SUV they were in.

Whoo-musta blinked at the moment. Wait! That was the moment my hostage tried to flee the premises, and i had to subdue her dumb ass.

Boy, when I get home tonight, I'm really going to lay into her, for embarrassing me.

I know right?! Also they never show people using the bathroom. You would imagine people still go to the bathroom in a zombie apocalypse, this show is so unrealistic! We need more scenes of people going to bathrooms, people searching lots of abandoned cars trying to find gas, people going through sporting goods stores to find arrows and ammo. We need a whole episode dedicated to gathering supplies, personal hygiene, preparing food, and watching Michonne braid her dreads.

Good news everyone, there's going to be sexy stuff in the next episode. Probably Carol's tits.

That's not fair. Getting gas is not as easy as you think, once the power is out. They should at least have shown us one time how they obtain gasoline. The rest of your argument is too silly to address.

They looted a Lee Valley and took these:

Every now and again when watching this show I look at Rick or some other character and I think, man they must stink really bad.

Just a weird little thing that crosses my mind from time to time.

Yeah, but I'm assuming all of the guns they picked up are loaded. There's the question of what ammo fits in which gun, so they're probably just grabbing whatever is loaded.

Dreadlocks do seem impractical when you're running from things that want to grab you. But without water, there probably isn't anybody getting a haircut. I remember hearing that in the comic, Rick's hair actually does grow as the series progresses. They did show that those guys were shitting in the freezer.

I think that's the least of their concerns. Though if they're near any body of water, they could bath themselves even if it's not drinkable. And I can't imagine looters have much interest in soap.

^ So Rick did know about the prison in the comics!

I beg to differ ... I am embarassed to admit that I have been in a Walmart on a Saturday. I think they already have turned.

Worth a look at any rate.

Would they technically still be "walkers" if they were driving around in those little hov-a-round carts?
