Yeah, they didn't apply that concept.  Season one I remember them covering themselves in Zombie Guts to get away from the city.  They never do that anymore either.

Nor does anyone employ the Michonne technique of jaw/arm removal.

It's like they've forgotten it.

I like the show, but surviving zombies in the context of their world would seem pretty easy, outside of the occasional half zombie laying around that you don't see.

Some of the stories from the Max Brooks WWZ book were awesome and scary realistic.  Like the nuclear submarine from China that had to fight off two other pursuers (one was the captain's brother) and then found the island that seemed ok for a while until zombies came up from the ocean floor to invade.
Then the lady fighter pilot that went down and the "voice" on her radio guided her to safety....  but there was no voice.

That book was so great and completely unique.  I liked the movie  - but it's only similarity to the book was the title.

Yeah, the book was great, it was a completely different POV as it encompassed the outbreak as a global event where the culture, race, gender, class status, demographics, geographics, etc.. only played a small role in the outcome.   I've read the book twice already. 

Only thing I was left wondering is where the virus actually came from.  The first documented case in the book was the boy from the fishing village that got bitten on his foot underwater and brought the virus back to his village.  It never really said where the virus originated from.

His other book ZSG Recorded Attacks is a great read too.  Especially how the dormant virus was renewed again when someone in a museum scratched themselves with the tooth of a skull that was originally infected hundreds of years prior.

Haven't read that one.  I recall the origin of the first case you referred to, but that's it. In the Survival Guide, they've identified the virus itself, but don't recall how it originated, but they refer to incidents in the 1800s.

Still don't know what happened to North Korea either.  Either they're in great shape, or completely gone.

I will watch it for no other reason than there is complete crap on television. Its either this show or reality television. At least with this show, I could watch zombies eat people.

On a side note, it maybe true

Walter white and his blue meth maybe the cause of the zombie apocalypse

Horrible, just horrible. Really wasn't feeling the WD in East LA, only watched about 10 actual minutes of the episode.

the problem is that the people starring in the show are the types of self-involved, whiny, inefficient morons that we enjoy seeing getting eaten by zombies.

Those in TWD are survivors, proven and brave.  I'm rooting for the walkers in this show.
