True they likely never would have met, but a couple of bullets and the lives of people who are a potential risk to their community gains them a few trucks and quite a bit of high grade weaponry.
Shitty? Yeah, but smart. Not only ensuring control is maintained by eliminating a potential (regardless of what the percentage of them meeting is), but defenses are improved.

All over the place how? I'd say he's been pretty consistently the asshole beholden to the governors rule, unless his inherent laziness overcomes his need to finish a job. (Michonne)

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

At this point, I'm starting to think the writers are doing some sort of genre meta-parody. |
All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. This is the truth! This is my belief! At least for now...

Really loving this show. Maybe my favorite on TV right now. They have some great characters. I do wonder how long Three Dog will last.

Glen's brave and smart, but doesn't really come across as a leader type to me. It is a great show, and I do hope they continue to make it their own and not feel beholden to following too many events from the comics.

Michonne still doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I've never liked Andrea but I don't have a problem with her motivation this season. She's someone who's come across a small slice of normalcy and desperately wants it to be real. Where Michonne is inherently suspicious, Andrea wants badly for Woodbury to be what it looks like on the surface.
Really, I think out of Michonne, Andrea and the Governor, it's Michonne that has the weakest motivation to do what she's doing and even with her a compelling case can be made that makes sense. I think the characterizations have been done very well this season, and I really like how the Governor isn't just some mustache twirling evil dude. He and Rick actually have a lot in common.

You guys are looking too deep for Michionnes motivation. She's just lonely... and the person she just spent months with has been suckered in by an asshole. Andrea just wants some sense of normalcy so bad that she'll take whatever she can get.

I would imagine as ammo starts to run out, the humans would HAVE to find some creative ways to kill zombies that didn't involve a bullet.

My thoughts exactly. Also, Carl has almost as many kills as Michonne. Badass.

Yes, but the chart ignores at least one "yellow" character kill. By Carl. Or, wait, no. On-screen only.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

And she (Lori) never became a zombie, that was the whole point in shooting her. --Dave |

I dunno... I'm betting there are a lot of people in the US with reloading equipment. How hard is it to find lead? I'm guessing there are a lot of tackle-boxes sitting in people's basements. and it wouldn't be TOO hard to make a bullet mold...Gunpowder isn't terribly hard to make, Just need what? Charcoal, cow manure and sulfur? Sulfur would probably be the hardest to acquire, but I'm guessing it would be low on initial looters grabbing. |

They could always use muzzle loaded black powder guns.  |

Charcoal, cow manure and sulfur? Sulfur would probably be the hardest to acquire, but I'm guessing it would be low on initial looters grabbing. Also remember there's plenty of lead sitting around in the hills of target ranges around the US, just a few inches below the surface. As you point out the gunpowder will be the hardest resource to come across. Smokeless powder is not the same as black powder which would foul any modern weapon after only a few shots with it. It's messy, messy shit. Good luck trying to create smokeless powder on your own, though. |

I might be underestimating what you can do in your garage with a set of power tools from Home Depot, but I feel like it'd be really hard to replicate factory-made ammunition well enough by hand for it to work smoothly in a modern weapon. Don't those things have pretty fine tolerances?
That's why I think Darryl has the right idea with that crossbow. Not only can you reuse your bolts, it's a lot more plausible to me that you'd be able to make new ones that would work well enough to be effective.

I know quite a few people that handload in a home workshop sort of setting (most competitive shooters either load their own or buy from a specialist, the army has specialists that load their sniper rounds by hand). If you've got the molds and the scales, it's easy. Probably a lot easier than making a quarrel/arrow that will fly true. --Dave |
