The Walking Dead: 10 Things That STILL Don’t Make Sense

[@dirtypirate1796]

How rick recovered from his gunshot and coma is actually explained in a webisode. From memory there was a somewhat psychotic nurse tending to the patients but then euthanising most of them so they didn't have to deal with what the world had become

I was in a coma last year for just 4 months and when I woke up I had to learn to walk, talk, eat and use my hands again, I was literally paralysed when I woke up, it took me weeks of physio, seeing dieticians and a speech therapist until I recovered, so seeing rick walking about just didn’t seem realistic to me. But it could be different for some people

[@dirtypirate1796]

@@jessrosefawkes2721 Sorry to hear that you went through that, and good to hear that you've come out on the other side! I don't know but yeah I'd say that it would be a process for even the luckiest person coming out of a coma that rick just shrugged off, plus he got belted around the head by Morgan's son immediately after! And that is another trope for TV/movies, anything more than a minute or so of being unconscious can mean serious brain damage in real life. But everyone's sort of used to main characters in shows being somewhat superhuman if you actually break it down, I think the main thing they were referencing was how could he live on unattended life support for the duration of his coma

Coagulated blood is like a rock in most cases, Zombies (if possible) would only be able to move for a few hours (after death) before everything in their bodies turned too hard for them to move, let alone run.

[@choronos]

The show clearly establishes that destroying the brain kills a zombie. The brain is like 80% water, it would have a shelf life of a few days after death before it starts to rot and dissolve away and the zombies just keel over. The show might as well have had an episode that explains the zombies are puppets manipulated by the black magic of a necromancer, I would be more willing to go along with that than the pathetic excuse that it's a "virus." Every time I see a zombie in a state of advanced decay that still has eyes, can somehow still smell and hear stuff, and is STILL shambling around, I roll my eyes. I roll my eyes even harder every time a character stabs or shoots a zombie in a state of advanced decay and fresh red blood spurts out.

@@GTSN38 it may not, but I think if they kept the Season 1 walkers around for the whole show, then the walkers in general could have still been a threat. by Season 3 they started to explore the human element of a post-apocalyptic zombie world with the Governor, but by Season 7 the walkers didn't really matter anymore. if they were always fast, then they could have still been somewhat relevant to the show, even when Rick's group were more concerned with other hostile groups like the Saviors and such. it also would have made sense as to why people kept dying years into the apocalypse; it numbs my mind when 6+ years into the apocalypse, people still die from slow, shambling corpses that they can see miles away. if the walkers were always fast, then it's understandable that people years into the apocalypse would still be dying.

Think about how you can walk fine, but it takes just one wrong move, one misstep to sprain your ankle. Same with any enemies including Walkers.

[@jayb8934]

The walker blood isn't really that inconsistent. It's infectious if it gets in an open wound, so they're taking a big risk any time they cover themselves in it. I think that's how Father Gabriel ended up blind in one eye, because he got walker blood/guts in it.

[@AutomationDnD]

ugh..... the thing I have trouble accepting is how to merely accept the SMELL of it without being so nauseated you gack all over yourself. Anybody who's touched a decomposing corpse of ANY creature knows the slightest bit of it makes you HORRIBLY stinky for hours N hours N hours (like if you get it on a shoe or something) .... it's absolutely totally disgustingly putrid. Maybe most humans can learn to tolerate it, but it's the absolute worst experience. And to COVER YOUR BODY with it? I cannot imagine.... it'd be horrible.

[@pimketss]

its terribly inconsistant, using any kind of slashing or blunt weapon will always release blood droplets wich are inevitably inhaled especially with the amount of times the use them. But then again a pathogen resurrecting dead people is already fictional so well who cares really.

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

Exactly. The ONLY time it was inconsistent was in Season 10 when Gamma was repeatedly stabbing a walker and accidentally cuts herself with the same knife. Then Aaron throws her some bandages and she patches up but that should've gotten her infected.

Not exactly. It’s actually discussed very early in the series that they all are infected. So the blood does not infect them like typical zombies. They already all have the infection. So they’re not gonna get it from the blood. They turn when they die

[@LaTabernadeCorvo]

1- Rick wasn't shot in the stomach, he was shot in the side, from behind. The shot to the stomach was stopped by the bulletproof vest. How Rick didn't get eaten by the walkers while he was in coma gets explained with Shane's scene, because he closes the door and puts a bed in front of it to prevent them from entering. Since there was no noise in the room, the walkers did not approach because they had no reason to. About the military guys, in the scene itself you can see that the military wasn't killing everyone (they were evacuating people), so it's easy to assume that they only shot those who had been bitten, which makes sense because after killing them, they shot them in the head. The soldier didn't shoot Rick basically because it was clear he hadn't been bitten since he was hooked up to a machine. Furthermore, one of the soldiers was saying that they should leave quickly, since walkers were approaching. 2- The prison is always shown to us from an aerial shot. That is, you can see it above the trees because the camera shows it to you as a viewer. The characters cannot see it from that point of view, and there is a grove of trees in the middle that does not allow them to see it in the moments that it is shown to us. Going in circles around the same area for months without finding the prison may sound a little strange, especially without losing anyone. I would have written it differently, for example that they had seen it before, but that it seemed too invaded, and that when they see it (already on camera) and decide to take it, it is because it is much emptier of walkers. In fact, having seen the prison and waiting for it to be emptied of walkers would have been the perfect excuse to have them wandering around the same area. At least they would have a reason for it. 3- In fact, it is not so hard to believe that the army fell, especially since the disease was unknown. If it had been known from the beginning that they were undead, surely action would have been quicker, but in the world of The Walking Dead the idea of ​​zombies does not exist. There are no movies, there is no imaginary about it, there is no zombie theme. There's nothing, so there's no way for people to associate walkers with dead people eating living people. By the time they relate it and manage to prepare, they are directly besieged by numbers that are impossible to defeat, something seen in Fear The Walking Dead, where the military did not even know that zombies only die by shooting them in the head. In short, it is not so unlikely that the army will be devastated, due to the complete misinformation they suffered added to the number of creatures that also only die when shot in the head. 4- Well, I don't think the Michonne thing makes more sense than releasing another show. Although to be fair, there are many trustworthy people in the communities who can take care of children, so it makes sense that they would go looking for someone as necessary and loved by everyone as Rick is. 5- Rick surviving the explosion makes sense, given that he was nowhere near the explosion. He was outside the bridge and the explosives were near the middle of it. In fact, when he shoots you can see how only the shock wave reaches him. Rick surviving the bleeding makes less sense, to be honest. In any case, being impaled will not have touched any vital organs, taking into account the location of the wound, which was more or less in the same spot where he was shot in season 1. 6- As I at least understand the walker blood thing, if you get stabbed deeply like with an arrow or a knife soaked in walker blood, you're practically dead because that's going to infect you, like it did to the Hilltop people. If you get a superficial cut, it's okay, as seen when Sasha accidentally lightly cut Abraham on the arm after killing a walker with the same knife, or when Rick cut himself with a machete that was stuck on a walker. They didn't get sick nor did anything happen to them. If you cover yourself in walker's blood, there is no problem unless it touches your mucous membranes (the inside of your mouth, nose, genitals...). It must also be taken into account that in the show it is said that a bite or scratch can infect you, which is impossible or they would have died as soon as a random walker grabbed them. Furthermore, we have not seen anyone die from a scratch, so it is clear that the characters were wrong. 7- Dale is not the best example. He was an old man who was attacked by surprise. Dale had no notions of hand-to-hand combat, in fact I seem to remember that he never killed a walker with hand-to-hand weapons. Michonne is a woman trained with the katana since before the apocalypse, who knows how to fight and who is obviously going to be able to handle several walkers in a fight. Zombies are not good fighters nor do they have a survival instinct, they just want to eat. If you learn to kill them it's not difficult to do so because they don't have different attack patterns like animals, so you'll only be at a disadvantage if they catch you by surprise or if the fight drags on (because a human will get tired and a walker won't). For this reason, it is also required to have certain physical preparation. That's why Daryl, Michonne, Rick, Carol, etc. can kill many at once, but Dale couldn't handle one. It also helps that on The Walking Dead the skulls are made of butter. 😂😂😂 8- Rick blows up the bridge on day 1,274 since the beginning of the apocalypse, so it would have been almost 3 and a half years. Carl is 12 years old in the first chapter, so when he died he would have been approximately 15 years old. 9- The fuel thing is forgivable to give the action a little more mobility and the writers a little more creative freedom. If this were not done the series would be too static as the characters would not be able to move as much, which would be a huge problem in finding supplies, and would also make the show boring. 10- Atlanta alone has a population of about 500,000 people. Add to that number the refugees from other places who came there plus the military units, since there was an army outpost where everyone was supposed to go. That leaves you with, at a minimum, 510,000 dead people in only one city. It's true that bodies decompose much faster in real life... But I think that if we "believe" that the dead would rise to eat us, believing that they would rot slowly is not completely crazy, nor should it need an explanation.

[@miew8204]

"believing that they would rot slowly is not completely crazy, nor should it need an explanation." Imagine those places in the world where it's hot, dry, and never rains in general. See what happens to corpses in Egypt for example. Depending on the walkers location, natural decay could potentially be a process stretched over centuries. You could help that process along very easy though, just wait till the Z's are dried out enough. Then introduce some fire and gtfo of the area for a bit. But then again think of the more moist places with alot of rain. probably (realistically speaking) apart from being all bloated and turning (not so) slowly into mush because of all the rain/moist surroundings. those Z's would be full of fungi "eating" them away. Eating dead stuff is what fungi are designed for afterall. Now introduce them to frost would be interesting, the whatever remaining fluids in the Z would freeze up and would slow them down. maybe halt them even for a bit. But what if you live in cold winter and hot, dry summer climate? I would think in the long run, the frost would stop affecting the Z's all together. Who knows, some variations might even establish migrating patterns linked to the weather/seasons over time. Therefor, I assume to stop a Z with frost, you will need a permafrost situation. And want your Z to be as fresh as possible.

I always thought the guts thing was just kind of common sense. Covering your body in it seems like it’d be okay considering all of the close combat and blood spray you get from the walkers anyway.

One of my biggest gripes with the show and zombie media is general is the fact that no one seems to think of wearing some sort of protection. You see it every now and then, but not really. It's as simple as a leather jacket, or strapping magazines to your limbs, or stringing wooden slats around your forearms/shins. None of those would hinder movement, but a walker would have a tough time biting through it. 90% of bites I feel are on the lower leg or arms, so it seems pretty damn worth it.

[@obbleonthewobble7194]

Supposedly in the Screenplay, there was supposed to be a shot showing Lori's skeleton completely picked clean and just covered in blood. It's believed AMC thought that showing her skeletal remains for Rick to find would be going way too far so that's why you only see the walker that 'ate' her. Still, all of the flesh off of her bones would still be a whole lot for one walker to consume on its own so that's still a bit ridiculous but with the added context of Lori's skeleton I suppose it makes a little more sense. I don't know if the Lori skeleton thing is for definite though, it's just something I heard about.

I think they did plan to have it in that there was some body left, but they thought it would be just a step too gruesome after the fans lost some characters.

My own justification is that the show only portrays their strength so inconsistently to show the inconsistent strength of the humans. Like, zombies seem stronger against people who never dealt with them, but the seasoned zombies killers have no problems.

Plus, walkers decay at different rates. "Bicycle Girl", from the very first episode of the first season, had decayed significantly just during the time the outbreak started and Rick woke up and found her, but other walkers seem to be packed with preservatives. And just before the Negan arc began, a badly-decayed walker was helpless to defend itself from being torn apart by wild dogs on the side of the road, while other walkers were nearby and still easily capable of movement.

[@jamiefrontiera1671]

i would think it would depend on the environment. You can have natural mumification and the bodies will last for hundreds/thousands of years. But also, this show is supposed to take place in the southeast, which is humid as all get out, and there is no fucking way that environment courts natural mummification.

[@SkaterBlades]

I feel like this can be sort of explained. Bicycle girl was ripped apart by a lot of zombies (there's a webisode about her death) which would make her appear as more decayed as a zombie as a lot of her body was torn off. Also, since she lost her legs and couldn't move as much, insects like worms, flies and maggots would have an easier time eating her whereas a fully mobile be subject to that degree. Larger animals could also have started eating her shortly after she died. A lot of decomposition has to do with external factors such as insects and microorganisms which is why bodies can be preserved for longer through the use of embalming, coffins and mummification

[@PABeaulieu]

The bicycle Girl was probably a vegan... She turned to compost mode quickly.

[@jacksonmuaythai]

It’s possible the walker virus effects people slightly differently. Some people get a cold and are bed ridden for a week, others hardly get a sniffle and sore throat. Maybe the particularly decayed walkers have a “weaker immune system” so to speak?

[@SkaterBlades]

@Jackson Muay Thai Can't really compare colds to the walker disease because there are hundreds of thousands of different colds all with different levels of severity. Also, decay largely comes from external factors like heat, microbes and insects which is why bodies can be preserved by keeping them cool or locking them in airtight containers like a coffin or a sarcophagus like the ancient Egyptians did with pharaohs. Your immune system wouldn't prevent decay because the only external factor it can fight is microbes and even then, it doesn't work nearly as well because you're dead. Blood can't pump around your body because your heart has stopped, your body can't increase its temp to fight infection as the hypothalamus is dead (in walkers the brain stem is the only functional part of the brain as seen in TS-19). The immune system has nothing to do with decay

[@theexpansionpack6154]

The only one that I can explain is Rick surviving the gun shot and coma. By the time Shane last sees Rick, before thinking he accidentally turned off his life support and killed him, he was already on the mend. He was treated and already recovering. The soldier didn’t shoot Rick because he assumed he was most likely already too far gone and would be pointless to shoot him because as far as they knew only a bite can spread the virus. Shane also blocked the door so no walkers or soldiers entered leaving Rick to recover in isolation. Really the only thing that was a real risk of killing Rick was starvation but luckily he wakes up while his body was still digesting itself

In the 1st 2 seasons I was always wondering how there were so many walkers all over the place. I found it hard to believe that so many people got bitten & got away from the undead- only to turn shortly after. When it was revealed that everyone was already infected- a brilliant plot twist IMO- then it made sense why so many walkers. Especially in the very beginning of the outbreak I can imagine widespread chaos with everyone shooting at everyone else. Millions dying in the first days & then it just got worse from there. Some of the inconsistencies get me confused, too. But being undead is itself a huge inconsistency. Certainly things we just have to accept to enjoy the ride.

[@firefighter_raven]

US population- 327 million vs US armed forces- just under 2 million. Keep in mind, this is a world that knows nothing about Zombies- no books, no movies etc. So they showed on Ftwd first season(iirc). The soldiers were doing what they were trained to do. Aim for center mass. So a big mob can over run them eventually. And that's if they don't desert to go see to their families. Plus, as seen in the Dawn of the Dead remake, military bases would most likely have lots of wounded brought there and effectively rise inside the defenses after they turn. You also see in the flashback scene of Shane visiting Rick in the hospital, the soldiers went nuts and were executing people. Not all the military losses would be to the dead.

There is no way to rationalize out of this one. If they’re slow Romero type zombies, which they are, no way the military gets overrun. This gaping plot hole actually did ruin the show somewhat for me. You can’t compare the Dawn remake because those are fast zombies and as in Black Summer I can see how a military unit could get overrun by them but even at that I can’t see how one dude in an APC with a fifty cal couldn’t wipe out a shit ton of zombies. The only way I can see the military collapsing so easily is if there was some initial virus that kills people first then they come back. They did touch upon this in the third or fourth season. They mention a flu that was going around at the time of the zombie apocalypse and in fact some folks at the prison die from this flu and come back to cause mayhem. If you go back to the source material (no not the comics) I mean the basis for all zombie apocalypse tales, I Am Legend (and not that crappy Will Smith movie either) the author makes it clear that there is a virus that kills something like 99% of the population and mutates a percentage, into vampires not zombies but you get the gist. I thought they would follow through with this theme in Fear but they chose to make zombies “magically” appear.

Also why would the military break into locked door to kill a dude if they were being stormed by zombies, makes no sense. - the Gas fueled vehicles are much less common than you are trying to make them to be - some people may be aging a bit differently, I think TWD handeling it pretty well as there are 5 year old kids who may be like 1/3 height of the children same age as well as dudes in their 20s looking like 15. - Rick survived the explosion by not getting hit by any schrapnels (as that is what causes most explosion deaths) This video seems like you just had 1 or 2 plot holes, but needed to make it into a top 10 video

Never mind how the zombie girl in the pilot still had an emotional attachment to her stuffed toy as she picks it up from the ground. Also Sophia was left alone because 2 walkers were too strong for Rick to fight off alone. Yet in later seasons he kills dozens and dozens without a sweat.

[@uSoNeek229]

They explained the walkers being able to run and climb and pick things up. Saying the original show runner had that ideas for the walkers. But when he left. They scrapped that idea. And I’m glad. As far as The Sophia situation goes, I just think Rick wasn’t as skilled at zombie killing at that time as we saw him become

[@Guoy]

@@uSoNeek229 Yes I know the original showrunners had that idea. Still that doesn't make sense within the story. If new showrunners come who think that walkers should be able to fly and implement that in the show, it also wouldn't make sense within the story.

@@GoReachPastElevation I don't think that's the case either. That would mean that if people in later seasons turn into walkers, they have the ability to run, climb and use tools in their first few weeks/months as walkers and later loose that ability. But that's not what's happening.

[@Stan3.0-m6g]

6:54 they even used rocks to shatter windows, its not because they wanted it to happen, its because the director was changed. the previous director was also more focused on being at different locations than hunkering down in some place (like the prison or farm)

[@_kim123]

0:40 Rick Grimes did survive by the help of a hospital staff member in one of the webisodes. There is a woman working at the hospital he woke up at. The dead inside sign was visible and she was trying to keep some of the patients still alive so that explains it. I include the webisodes because they did air on AMC at one point before Fear the Walking Dead.

Thank god someone actually knows this aswell

[@maxboo1]

They also had zombies doing things that required thought like the little girl zombie picking up the stuffed animal in S1 Ep1 and a walker hitting a window with a rock in the department store scene in another season 1 episode. I don't recall off the top of my head any other incidents but they seemed to give up on walkers having abilities. And then there is the groaning.... never really found out why they could make sounds.

[@lieutenantdan6709]

Yeah they made a mini series about it

[@blackwolf721000]

The part of the "zombie logic" that puzzles me is the walker's feeding behavior. When a swarm catches a person, they supposedly eat until they physically can't eat any more (see the Lori death episode). We see thousands of walkers, but relatively few corpses eaten away to skeletons. This would imply that almost every person who gets bitten escapes the initial swarm to die later. But then on the show, people dying of a bite/fever happens less than people getting cornered and torn apart by a swarm. And most of the people who get bitten have someone with them to kill the risen corpse. Many of the walkers have some wounds where we assume they were initially bitten. How did everyone bitten get away, or how did the people immobilized become turned walkers without getting eaten up? For example the "bicycle girl" from the beginning, which we see in the webisode was a woman caught by a large horde. When Rick finds her, she is torn apart but her torso is mostly still there. Like each walker took a nibble and then marched away for no reason.

[@George-li1yv]

I think its because of walkers tendency to go for the fresher food source. Once instance is when walker Merle who is eating one of the guys he shot, but when Daryl arrives he focuses on him instead. So I assume its a mix of that and the fact that the vast majority of people will have been bitten very early on leading to lots of distractions.

[@blackwolf721000]

[@mojewjewjew4420]

Its mostly movie logic,realistically as you can get in a zombie apocalypse is that they would eat every body leaving few to reanimate or leaving them clippled,we see lone walkers able to eat 1 whole body multiple times,there are so many walkers supposedly due to the virus early on that killed many people,then the numbers got out of hand as people who were bit didnt realize that meant death neither did they realize that everyone is infected,its mentioned on wiki that riots broke out shortly before everything went to sht further increasing their numbers since walking dead really likes making people stupid and headshots arent even a thing.

How some walkers would come out of nowhere growling and snarling yet no one heard it coming. How some walkers jumped minor characters and bite them immediately (patricia), but hesitate when it comes to a main character (Carl when he loses his boot in S4)

[@olliewest153]

the first season walkers were the best. The writer explained that he wanted to continue doing that but for some reason (i cant remember why) he didn't. He explained it that the walkers in the first seasons retained some memories or remembrance of stuffed animals (the little girl) and tools (the walker who smashed the window with a brick). it would also make sense that they retained muscle memory of running but it decayed away. But they would have had to write out the running because its The WALKING Dead; not The RUNNING Dead. Lol

[@jpwphoenix1701]

I believe they’re finally meant to be tackling the “Enhanced Walkers” soon. The end of “TWD: World Beyond” showed one which survives a headshot and is faster. Plus, trailers for the final few episodes of TWD have Aaron ominously talking about stories from early in the outbreak of “Walkers who can climb walls”, which is then backed-up by one doing just this. So, I’m guessing it’s something which only a select few mutated Walkers can do.

[@Cephas_13]

The Military getting overrun bothered me for a long time too. It was fear, one soldier panicking in the wrong moment can get a lot of people killed. Most people were terrified of Walkers and that goes for soldiers too because they’ve never fought anything like that. If you even include all the technology the military has, it’s still controlled largely by people.

[@blackwolf721000]

Yes.The soldiers are trained to aim for center mass, which does almost nothing to a walker. At most, they'd fall over from the kinetic impact and then get back up. They'd waste almost all of their ammo before figuring out the headshot, and then they're trembling and won't aim well enough to kill a swarm. Tanks run out of fuel fast. They burn through gas that feeds a passenger car for 300 kilometers just getting the tank moving the first meter. A full tank can move around a region for a day and then it has to refuel.

But one thing most people are forgetting is that most soldiers during the early days of the apocalypse would've quit their jobs and gone home to protect their families.

[@sp4823]

I think during the initial confusion, some bases close to large cities could be overrun or abandoned, but after the initial shock, the army would adapt quickly. If a base is far from any large cities, it won't have to fend off against many zombies, so they should survive long enough to figure out what is going on, that you have to shoot them in the head, getting bit gets you killed, when you die you come back, etc. Once they have all that information, they would be able to adapt and deal with it accordingly. They have guns, helicopters, tanks, drones, planes, and they are dealing with an enemy with no weapons at all, and no intelligence or strategy. They just mindlessly walk towards their target.

[@cb-gz1vl]

Another thing is if the walkers are just staggering they would have a tendency to always move down hill toward the path of least resistance like water. So all the low lands and valleys would be filled by high ground probably would be vacant. I also find it absurd they can keep moving. Everything rots. Even lumber soaked in chemicals rots. Doesn't matter if the virus is putting out something to drive away bacteria sooner or later the dead will decay. These walkers are almost perpetual motion machines. And added to this, I would think the humans would more utilize them. Put them on a spindle for power generation. Have them walking in circles for working machinery. Again apparent perpetual motion.

the walkers not decomposing is mention a few times in the main show and in the World Beyond spinoff. the virus slows down the decomp, but the shows haven't explained why it slows it down. Mostly because experimentation is pretty rare. The only group we see doing testing is the CRM in World Beyond. they have shown clothing and items that are bite proof in the shows. for example: duck tap, catchers gear, corduroy, leather, CRM uniforms, Commonwealth uniforms, knight armor. the thing is most of this stuff is on short supply and hard to come by.

The mix of zombies with different stages of decay is also simple to explain, there are probably a lot of different small groups of survivors that are just more recently getting overrun.
