Probably not that fast and they would be easy to kill in the moat. The come straight forward, period. It would be easy to build a completely defensible and self contained compound to live. Only threat would be turning at death and that would be easily manageable.

People in Africa would be safe as long as they don't try to have sex in the bush.

Yep. I was gonna post that. If I remember right, they even addressed the fact that you can't even go on the water to look for an island out of fear a Zombie whale will turn your boat over. The animals were as dangerous as the people.

The Living Dead in that book series were
Spoiler:
possessed by demons from another dimension and they had full awareness of what was going on around them and they had access to the person's memories.

That was a fun book, but bleak. The sequel, even moreso.

Tolkien did it for Rings, why not here, where it should be easier to map out, since a lot of it exists.

Funny. In the real world Woodbury is just a bit over 2 miles from the prison.

So, not far at all.

Apparently sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads are too much to ask.

This sort of ties into the "island" argument that comes up sometimes in zombie stories, like the end of Day of the Dead.


Who the hell is flying the helicopter?
The cameraman, obviously.

I'd make the "hot=attractiveness" joke here, but I'm too tired to think of one.

Certainly not. I still remember the rush of first discovering Alan Moore and how interesting and intellectual his work is. Of course, as the years have gone bye and I've gotten older, I've begun to wonder about certain things, but that's another topic for another time.

There's lots of spoilers on the innerwebs about who's about to bite it next, pretty cool how it all goes down.

Zombies or floating toilet?

I guess you could leave the ship tied up to the dock to avoid the problems of lack of fuel, storms, and not knowing how to pilot a cruise ship. The zombies still can't get on without a gangplank.

I already have my eyes set on one of the Staten Island Ferry fleet if the shit ever goes down.

And if the zombie virus, or whatever it is, jumped to animals, we wouldn't stand even the slightest chance. Mankind would be extinct in a matter of weeks.

No, don't. It's shit and the sequel is more so. But go ahead if you like intelligent zombies who can shoot weapons, drive vehicles and tell snappy one-liners.

And push zombie babies in strollers. That series was bizarre.

A talking zombie goldfish!

Keene's "Dead Sea" is a stand-alone zombie book (not related to Rising or its sequel). And for a chunk of the book they try the strategy suggested here ... get on a big boat and try to wait it out. "Traditional" Romero-esque zombies but with animals also being infected (dogs, cats, rats, squirrels, fish, birds, etc). And yeah ... there's absolutely no hope for humanity in that scenario.

I've googled TWD spoilers and found nothing. Apparently I suck at this. :lol:
