1x05 - Wildfire (Page 2 of 2)

This I didn't expect. The TV series are starting to ignore the comics entirely, adding only single scenes from the original. Can't decide if this is good or bad. Decent episode, although one thing didn't stick - the guy from CDC laments that he has to remain underground and can't tell whether it's day or night and few minutes later he opens the gate leading outside and has cameras.

Edit: I also didn't get why were they using so many vehicles... I mean, I understand not using only the RV, because it's old and breaks down a lot, but all those trucks and jeeps use a lot of gas. And there aren't that many survivors in the group left.

No, not THEY. (it's a rather big spoiler) And in case you're wondering, in the comics they didn't take any trips to find the CDC. Instead they started moving south to find a safe place before the cold winter (I can't remember exactly right now, but as far as I know the comics started in late autumn, not in the summer).

well if had read the comics i would think that this is a good thing.... since it`s new story and i wouldn`t already know how it`s continues

This episode was a bit of a filler. I will keep watching it's still huge potential for interesting stuff to happen!

Well, since he had to correct the scripts by himself, the original ones must've been bad. Oh well, it's his show.

*goes and sends his scripts to Frankie ^__^*

Scientist usually lose track of day and night atleast the ones I know. It also seems like it's sensors activating it probably to conserve power but it's a valid point but still it's fiction!

Apparently, they weren't fired.

I just want to throw in my two cents here I guess I should start off by saying that I like this show alot, but I also agree with alot of the comments here.
First of all about the tanks: I've driven many different vehicles, and all the ones that run on tracks have VERY easy controls. Basically there's one forward/backward pedal for each track, and you control it like you would row a boat. If you want to steer left, you throttle the right track and slow the left one, if you want to turn on the spot, you run them in opposite directions. I find it very hard to believe that they would make that more complicated then it needs to be. Of course you have the cannon tower wich would need separate controls, but still I'm pretty confident that if I found myself inside a tank with 200 zombies outside, I'd be able to drive that tank within an hour. Of course, this is only guesswork, but you see my point.

Second, zombies aren't people. They've died, risen from the dead and they want to eat your brain. You'd have to be quite the wuss to think twice about killing them, since the fact that they've already died pretty much eliminates the possibility of a cure saving them. This is assuming a real-world situation based on the show, I know it's fiction but I like my fiction believable.  You can make a science fiction story without twisting the laws of physics, or at least find "logical" explanations to the twists.
On a related note, I get the black guy not wanting to shoot his wife. At least he's not lying on top of her like a moron.

In situations where you lose loved ones, you often do irrasional stuff. I know I've been in situations that I can look back on and not have a clue why i did what I did.
