If the Zombies are attracted to noise, why where there only 3 in the church? If that bell had been programmed to go off, you'd think it would have attracted a herd.0 -

perhaps zombies have the ability to become accustomed to things? (they've checked out "that bell noise" several times before and come up fruitless?)
Yikes! They can learn? That's not good. :shock:"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

Seeing as how the living/intelligent people had a hard time locating it from sound, then I think maybe the zombies would have a hard time. Maybe that's where that herd was trying to go. Or maybe it's like somebody said and they turned up there a bunch of times and learned to ignore it. Maybe all zombies are Scientologists and don't want to go to the church."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0

spanish zombie movie....hmnn looks good
That does sound good. And since now this is an "all things zombie" thread, has anybody played "Dead Island" yet? It's supposed to be really cool. I wonder how it stacks up to the "Left 4 Dead" games. This one is supposed to be different though, kind of an open-world type of game."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -

Okay, so this week I finished watching all of Season 1, and then last night watched this season's premier On Demand.
I liked the episode overall. I didn't think it dragged on.
What really, really blew me away was the last scene, especially toward the end when Carl is approaching the deer with such a transcendent, hopeful expression, and the deer is so beautiful looking back at him. And the close-up expressions from Rick and Shane. And you can hear the deer's ears flicking back and forth. I was completely transfixed, and then HOLYCRAP! What a jolt.
Wow. That was incredible.
I really do wish that they wouldn't show previews, though. What I love about this show is how I have no idea what's around the corner.
I watched "The Talking Dead" too, and while it was enjoyable, it did kind of take away some of the fantasy. For example, I didn't care to see that instead of a zombie, they were cutting into a cardboard box. I like to preserve the scene in my imagination, I don't want to know how they filmed it.
As for smelling the survivors under the car, I wondered about that too, then remembered back to a tracking class I took with one of my dogs. The trainer talked a lot about dogs who air scent, and dogs who ground scent. The air scenters will raise their noses and scan the horizon. The ground scenters have their noses down at all times. (That's why some of the best scenthounds have those long, floppy ears _ they fold down and cup the scents around their snouts.)
Maybe zombies are air scenters, so they miss the low-to-the-ground smells.
I just reread this post. It's astonishing to me that I've given these issues this much thought.

That scene had a different effect on me. The way you experienced it is the way I'm sure they were hoping we would, but I was less focused on the sweet moment between the gang and the deer (which was a nice moment, and good to see Shane chill out for a minute), and was really just bracing myself for something bad to happen. I just knew something was about to happen. Mainly because when the scene started I was aware of how much time was left and knew it was the end, and I had a feeling it wasn't going to end on a happy note with them having a sweet moment with Mother Nature. Although it's possible and I could have been wrong, I just had a hunch it wouldn't. So I was sitting there bracing myself, either for a walker to run out and attack the deer, or for the deer to bare it's teeth to reveal it was some fucked up zombie deer, or something."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -

Probably not. I'll probably be that dude that doesn't have the stomach to put down one of my friends or loved ones after they turn (even though I always hate those people in the movies) and get bitten. If not I'd probably off myself after a week of having to eat canned goods."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -

I totally expected a zombie to run up and start eating the deer.0 -

Oh my God, I just realized something.
Sweet Pea is a Treeing Walker Coonhound. (Swear to God, that's a real breed.)
