Fresh water vs. salt water = fresh water wins for drinking water. Remember that. Drink from ocean = death.

Only in large amounts. A sip or accidental ingestion won't hurt you. Won't help either though.

One of these days we'll have to perfect making ocean water drinkable as we'll really need it. /rant

If you could come up with some sort of filtering system then you could probably take the salt out of the water. Also then you'd have some salt to smoke the fish in.

That movie and 28 Weeks Later freak me the **** out.

But technically it isn't a zombie movie, it's a virus. :P I still consider it one though.

Have you been watch The Walking Dead at all?

Zombie eats flesh, the infected beat you to death while or trying to infect you.

Slightly different strain maybe. I guess techinally it's not a standard definition of zombie, but if you are not in control of your own actions, infected with a virus, can easily give that virus to others, and the people too end up dead than its close enough.

If that is the strict definition we are going with then I will say this: 28 Days/Weeks Later is a horrible movie as their pandemic film looks just like a zombie movie, and is completely unoriginal as it steals the entire premise from I Am Legend (book not movie), only making them zombies and not vampires, and then I Am Legend (the movie, not the book) stole its reimagining from 28Days/Weeks Later.

Let's get real here. Richard Matheson didn't go around saying, "They aren't vampires, they're infected," because ultimately he offered a scientific explanation for vampirism. Intelligent, risen from the dead, blood sucking creatures of the night, who spread their kind through blood/bites = vampire, no matter the catalyst.

Animated, walking corpses with a violent bent for living humans = zombies, no matter the catalyst. I don't know who decided that of all the creatures and monsters out there that come from humans and can be spread to other humans decided zombies can be renamed based on the catalyst, but it sounds like the king of thing a hipster would come up with. If we want to get very, very technical, almost no "zombie movie" ever is actually a zombie movie. There are a few old school black magic zombies on film and only they meet the true definition.
 
On my drive to work this morning, Civilian popped up in my shuffle and I've been listening to it the whole day. Reminded me of Season 2 & the drive with Shane looking out the window, looking forward to the new eps.

Sound even better LIVE. One day I'm going to have to see Wye Oak play LIVE, very talented.

We could do that. Though I don't know how far Night of the Living Dead would be placed...I hate that movie.

Which version? I never saw the 1990 remake.

The 1968 original never gives a true explanation. They hear a scientist on the radio theorize that it is radioactive contamination but a character dies and reanimates from an infected bite in a matter of hours.

Not sure why you would place the film separately as it basically creates the mythos of the modern zombie.

Another great episode!👍

Possible spoiler: Based on Glenns reaction in the ending preview(picture above), Merle tags along with the others perhaps during their escape from the Governors village.

My assumption 2 months back was on point. Got off work a little bit early, I'm currently watching the ep., pretty good so far.

I didn't watch either one of them ( too scared to back then). IMO, it created a benchmark ( like you have said) to consider it a zombie flick. I may be wrong and inexperienced in this genre.

Seems like Rick has completely lost his mind...

When was the last time the guy had a week's worth of decent nights' sleeps?

How many people has a man, that used to prevent death, killed?

How much responsibility does he bare?


The guy has all the ingredients for a quality mental breakdown.

Indeed. I'm interested in seeing how it affects the rest of the group.

If I had to guess, Michonne and/or Daryl/Merle are allowed back, or sought out, for leadership, since the best leader will be a survivalist. There could even be a point where the two guys with Tyreese start some crap and it acts as a catalyst to make these fringe group members step in. I'd imagine that Merle being Merle will lead to a wake up call for Rick.


Although, we must not rule out the Hollywood favorite way to cure a mental breakdown; slap Rick across the face and yell at him until he snaps out of it.

He sure picked the right time to go into one of his spells hahaha! Coo coo for Coco Puffs he went, right in front of everyone. His leadership should be more questionable for the group after his display.

The baby seems to trigger him into his zoned out state, I don't think the baby is safe around him, surely the group sees this.....hmmm.

Seems like after that, Rick might stop hallucinating for...a bit? Most notable thing about that episode for me...was the Rio Red Subaru Legacy Outback. My first car...and I couldn't help but just notice it. :lol:
 
Speaking of which, the Spanish family... I'm wondering if Kirkman's got a twist from Season IV people aren't expecting from the comics.

Conspiracy theory talk: Could the Spanish speakers from that episode be fleeing a large horde? :lol: I know, it's far-fetched in the current storyline, but, we know that they (walkers) walk in groups, and Mexico City (a source of huge population) could be the biggest source of walkers... They'd just walk right across an uncontrolled border... I mean, why were they only Spanish speaking? This must be foreshadowing. Follow my logic, only if you want, but, I think it could happen.
 
Actually just came to me. Does anyone actually know what the Spanish family were saying? Could be a big spoiler in itself? Anyone here speak Spanish?
 
Ok I watched 28dats later since people were taking about it here. Turns out I seen like half the movie before. Watched 28 weeks later a few days later too. I would classify it as a zombie movie. Yes it isn't techinally a zombie since the people aren't dead and come back to life, but it's close enough. They could actually die instantly from poison in the blood than change into the rage making them a zombie also so they might be the definition of zombie.

I do; "kill it! Kill it!" was all I heard, mainly. Oh, and "come on, let's go" or something similar. No, no spoilers in Spanish conversation. :(
 
Translation of spanish part.

(Father & son on the the truck & father drops the gun as zombie grabs him)

Father: Ayuda, ayuda me - Help, help me

(Darryl shoots the zombie about to bite the fathers leg)

Father &/or son: Gracias, gratis - Thank you, thanks

Daryl: Come on man, I'm trying to help you out. Cover me!

(Father jumps off truck to grab gun)

Son: Quidado - Be careful

Father (to son): No te muevas - Don't move

(Mother & baby are in the car but I can't really hear what she's saying)

(Daryl kills the zombie trying to get at the mother from behind the truck)

Father: Si tocas mi mujer, yo te mato - If you touch my women, I'll kill you

Daryl: Speak english!

Father: No te entiendo - I don't/can't understand you

(Father is approached by a zombie as he runs out of bullets)

Son(to Father): Papa mata lo! - Dad kill it!

(Father hits zombie, but zombie is still alive)

Father(to son): Hijo quedate ahi - Son, stay there

Son(to Daryl &/or Merle): Ayuda lo! - Help him!

Father: Ayuden! - Help!/Help me

Son(to father): Quidado! - Be careful/Watch out!

Daryl kicks zombie off bridge

Merle opens door to truck

Father(to son): Alejate de mi carro - Get away from my car

Merle points gun at father

Father (to Merle): No tenemos nada para llevar - We don't have anything to
take.

Father(to Merle): Quere llevarte lo, este carro esta vasio - You want to take it, the car is empty.

(Merle enters the car)

Son(to Merle): Ey! Ey!

Father: Echate para atras hijo, esperate - Stand/Stay back son, wait there.

Father: Quedate ahi - Stay there

(Daryl tells them to get in their car)

Father(to son): Bete - Go

(They get in the car & leave)
 
Caution = cuidado (not quidado)

Just pointing that out.

And, may I ask what your source is? "Ayudar" is an indirect verb, not a direct verb. It would be "ayudarle" (meaning "help to him.")

And, "bete" is more like "véte."
