The very statement you made ".....the stuff just bothers the fuck out of me...." cracks me up. Really? You're expecting the show's writers to adhere to the true chemical properties governing gasoline's actual shelf life or (better yet) the
blood pressure of a rotting (and dead, of course) corpse.....? lol
Holy cow......you do understand that part of the abbreviation Sci-Fi is the word "fiction", right? (definitions will vary....not real....made up....fantasy....etc)
If you desire much more factual programming (ie: "shit" that won't bother you so much) then watch the documentaries shown on The History Channel and National Geographic. All are non-fictional accounts that are assured to not get your panties in a wad. Unless, of course, you're not a fan of Civil War re-enactments....
Simply put (and I know you know this) TWD is written and broadcasted for entertainment purposes ONLY (and, of course, hopefully yield a large and loyal viewership for AMC that in turn creates profitable results for the network).
One must suspend reality 100% with this premise because (afterall) we are talking about a world gone amok; over run with walking cadavers.....that seek out the living so they can munch on them. Expecting reality (ie: the aforementioned details) that cover all bases in tandem with a fantasy-based plot will only result in disappointment & failure for yourself.
It never fails to amaze me how even the most casual (or intense, whichever you may be) of viewers feel the need to become the next Siskell and Ebert and tear apart a film's / program's plot, writing or acting. If a movie of tv program annoys one to the point you can't enjoy it and you need to become The Next Great Critic....simply change the channel. Or better yet....turn off the boob tube and set up some play time with your atf.
The more I watched TWD the more I start to hate it.
Some of the stuff just bothers the fuck out of me.
- The show should change the name from The Walking Dead to The Walking Days of Our Lives - Understand that it's a tv show and needs some background, but a whole episode with a conway tweedy sounding motherfucking song throughout a whole episode is just fucking gay.
- Where the fuck do they get gasoline from? Gasoline, at best, is good up to a year if properly stored.
- Why is the skull so easy to penetrate with just about any object or a stomp to the head by a ~100 lbs chick?
- On that note, how are the skinny dudes able to outpower zombies when a built dude like Tyrese got man-handled by a zombie geezer? He came out on top outnumbered by a buncha bush zombies and a hammer, but one bite from little turd zombie and fight with geezer killed him.
- Zombies have open wounds, gashes, or what-have-you, but they seem to maintain blood pressure enough to squirt and splatter when killed. I mean, they've run over zombies with cars before and it did not paint the car in blood and gore like it did with episode 2/22/2015.
Too many inconsistencies in the show and deviation from the comics. That baby was supposed to die when that stupid prisoner let out the zombies, but I guess we Americans are too sissy to see a dead baby on tv.
