The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

[KitFisto]

I lived in Fairfax (10-15 miles west of Alexandria) for four years, so I speak from experience when I say that Northern Virginia typically gets a considerable amount of snow during the winter. In fact, one year (I think it was January or February 2014), we got two big storms back-to-back that dumped a total of 16-18 inches on us, which would have easily stopped walkers in their tracks. It might not have killed them, but they certainly wouldn't be going anywhere in a hurry.

It would be really nice to see snow in TWD, but the only problem is the show films in Georgia from May to November. That said, it would be nearly impossible to depict snow in the show, especially since substantial snowfall in Georgia is evidently very uncommon.

We get the occasional big snow, but for the most part we don't. I live in Warrenton and work in Sterling . Every few years we get hito with one of those huge 12 to 24 inch snow storms, but for the most part we a few inches on snow here and there that melts the next day.

You're right. Most of our snow storms drop only an inch or two, and we only get a "Snow-pocalypse" (as my friends and I liked to call the big snow storms) every couple of years. Probably a poor choice of words on my part, but when I said "considerable amount of snow," I was referring to the frequent number of snow storms that amounted to anything (whether it be 1/2 inch or 12 inches), which I was contrasting with the infrequent snowfall in Georgia that makes it impossible to accurately depict the amount of snow that Alexandria would actually get during an average winter.

At the very least it would be nice to see some flashbacks depicting Rick's group in the winter.

We need a The Walking Dead: Christmas Special.

Should be southern Virginia somewhere

Alexandria, VA is in northern Virginia ... near Arlington and DC.



Actually makes sense with the story. They were headed to DC -- even after Eugene confessed, they decided to continue because they couldn't think of anything better to do. They walked an awful long time past Richmond (Noah's neighborhood) before that guy found them. And, Deanna was a sitting Congresswoman when things fell apart, so she'd have a house in the DC suburbs.

I would like to see that too.

If they're that far north, it's possible

If you watched the show... you would have seen they had cars lined up for miles. Then on the way facing Alexander, the road the walkers were walking on, there were no cars and they just left there community completely exposed. If anything, the cars should have been placed on that road where the walkers started walking towards when the horn was sounding... but noooooooo the show writers have to think of a dumb storyline.

Yeah... I always comment about things I don't watch...

But of course, there's an unlimited amount of cars they can line up; and obviously, if there aren't enough cars to line up, it makes so much more sense to put line them up towards the end of the trip and not at the beginning where you need to bunch them up and funnel them in the first place, because, you guessed it, everybody is just counting on somebody making noises to attract walkers to your camp. Yeah, that is better writing and makes just a lot more sense. That's not contrived at all.

Just another reason why the writers and directors are completely dumb. Would be awesome to depict a snowy mass zombie slaughter. Everything about it would be awesome.

I would really like this.

Rick does not take chances. Remember? He would not take the chance of leaving his community completely exposed to thousands of walkers in-case something brought them off the road.

I know I would not have taken that chance. The walkers were okay in the quarry and could have been delayed another week, the shows story direction just does not make sense.

The walker were not okay in that quarry.

Delaying another week wasn't prudent, Rick noted that and told everyone that the one trailer blocking the herd was going to go over the edge at anytime.

As evident when everyone was at the quarry, preparing to execute Rick's plan, and the herd pushed the trailer over the edge causing Rick's group to rush to get into their assigned places.

How are writers and directors dumb regarding decisions that are taken by producers?

We'll just have to agree to disagree.
You go on and think about more awesome stuff that isn't in the show, and I'll be happy with what is in the show so far.

Thinking is hard.
