The Walking Dead

An AM Leonard tree shearing knife would be a good sword substitute.
These suckers are wicked sharp & lightning fast.....

 

[Apex]

Anyone here read World War Z?

 

[Quiddity]

Yeah, even more so. It would be a cliche' stereotype.

Who else could they tie it too?

Anyways, I'm inclined to now think that this whole sword / machete use wouldn't really be as easy as one thinks.

I cut the head of a pig once (don't ask) and the machete got stuck a couple times.

Now, I'm no zombie killer expert but I'd venture to guess that if more then one zombie is coming at you, it's going to get stuck at least once.

Anyone here read World War Z?

yeah, and The Zombie Survival Guide by the same author. Good books.

Technique, young man.....it's all in technique.
I know. I've done unspeakable things with a machete.
(I really can't speak of'm. I've gotten in trouble with the mods before for relating my exploits.)

Note to self: If a zombie apocalypse comes, go to Revo's house as you will learn proper technique.

A good cleaver will slice through bone easily. If more than a couple zombies though, you might want a back-up plan. Actually, staying to fight should have been the back-up plan. If you are already in that situation then it is probably already too late.

Just watching that video made me break out in a cold sweat. Zombies, Ahhh! (I'm terrified of them)

Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

41 minutes of episode 8 of season 2... Damn! I blinked!

Fortunately I'm watching it on my computer and can rewind and watch again.


Edit: The song is cool.

 

[SaintAugustine]

a great show

Shane does make a good moral and ethical case, though we are more often tempted to side with the more empathetic Rick. The good of the many does often trump the good of the few, or the one.

I think what we're seeing there is the conflict between the primitive mind and the civilized mind. Or you could put it as practicality vs principles.

Shane is all about doing what needs to be done to ensure his own survival and the survival of the group.

Rick wants all that too but he's also concerned with remaining human and civilized in the process.

But Shane is the thinker, perhaps a bit too much for his own good. Is he the primitive mind or the civilized one?

I think if someone was a member of that group and had to decide who to follow it would be a tough choice: Rick's more likely to get you killed, but Shane is more likely to kill you.

The primitive. Like I said: he's concerned with his own survival and the survival of the tribe over everything else. They're both thinkers, but Shane is thinking more clearly than Rick is, unencumbered as he is by a lot of principles that may or may not apply to the world they've found themselves in now.

Haha, good point.

Alrightee. I hope the writers see it different.
