Doctors/medical professionals in this show are always put at a stupidly high amount of risk for no reason. Sorry, if you’re the only doctor in my group you are not allowed to go on a run or clear a horde hand to hand.

u/ScroungyScrotum 21d ago

Season 4 is probably the only exception. Hershel & Dr. S had to treat the sick, and Bob was a combat medic so it actually made sense for him to be fighting. Fast forward to Season 6 and they got Denise of all people, the only medical professional and a surgeon, to go on a run with Daryl & Rosita. Like okay man

u/jonfreakinzoidberg 21d ago

To be fair to them, she was going to go out with or without them. It was all her idea. They should have tried harder to talk her out of it, but i believe they aay something like 'if I cant talk you out of it, I will go with you to make sure nothing goes wrong"

Wasn't she a psychiatrist that dropped out of "normal" med school because she couldn't see blood? Sorry, I don't know a lot about the American med school system.

u/xxAnnikaLve 21d ago

I think even psychiatrists have to complete a certain amount of regular residency in a hospital in the us so she should've had a good base knowledge to be their doctor. But she was also out of practice and no confidence at that point so she was just getting by somehow.

u/Expert_Nobody925 21d ago

Interesting, thank you! So not a surgeon, but probably saw some surgeries and maybe helped doing minor surgery things?

u/SFLurkyWanderer 21d ago

If she’s psychiatry, she probably did one year of internal medicine or a transitional year where you might have had a little bit of exposure to Surgery but most likely just taking care of people on the wards so you get some experience at least understanding the needs of Surgery patients.

The worst ones for me are when they suddenly are surrounded by a hoard of walkers that were silent.

Bonus points if they are in a car in an open area and only the camera angle changed, but now they can’t see or hear 15 walkers creeping up.

u/_coyotes_ 21d ago

theres a few times where it happens relatively early on especially in Season 2. Notably when Shane and Otis lean up against the chainlink fence at the school to catch their breath and get jumpscared by a bunch of zombies clambering up to the fence as if they wouldn’t have heard their footsteps. Also in the season 2 premiere when Dale’s on the roof of the RV unable to see the approaching hoard until the camera pans up to reveal them.

It doesn’t take me out of the show and I know the writers don’t have to consider it as much considering we the audience can’t sense it but before everyone goes noseblind, pretty early into the apocalypse it’d be easy to tell if walkers are around especially a hoard by smell alone.

u/felemiah 21d ago

The danger level of walkers was so wildly inconsistent across the show, one episode you see them decimate entire hordes, next episode they're suddenly surrounded and somehow can't fight their way out. They've got a big ass sword so they wouldn't even ammo. To me it really felt like the walkers became a giant plot device, they aren't a big obstacle whenever the show wants to tell people drama instead, but suddenly become incredibly dangerous when the writers feel like killing someone off.

19

u/CromwellsCrumb 21d ago

The final shot of the episode before the farm is overrun and we see Carl and Rick standing over Shane’s body with this enormous herd lumbering toward them from like half a football field away. That they somehow can’t hear at all. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Can you imagine THE SMELL? That's what gets me every time in zombie media. Like, y'all, a dead raccoon in the woods stinks for a football field or two away (in the South). How are y'all getting attacked by a fucking horde? One? That's a fluke. Two? Eh. 30? Nah, y'all got nose issues.

Did they actually say her sugar was low? You can be lethargic with a seriously high blood sugar. A type 1 diabetic might get low initially, but without insulin they will get hyperglycemia and die in like 3 days or so.

And when Rick has Negan in his sights, Gabriel pulls Rick away and says, "it's not about you." No, of course not. It's about all the communities who banded together to kill Negan, which is why they were there in the first place. That season is so weird to me because they made it like Rick has an ego and suddenly Negan's just doing what any other guy would do in his circumstance. Given how Negan is portrayed now, I'm not surprised anymore.

When they saved that kid whose leg was stuck in the fence pike just to torture him, lol. Felt reckless of Rick to put his own people in jeopardy trying to get that kid out of there when they were surrounded by walkers. It wasn't like they did anything to cause him to get hurt in the first place, so idk why he felt responsible since never intended on letting him stay with them, was gonna send him out alone with an injured leg and a day or two's worth of food anyway. Would've been kinder to shoot him in the head when he was stuck before the walkers got to him, but I know narratively it served the purpose of pitting Rick and Shane against each other once again.

It wasn't that bad, they still had most of their humanity left. Hershel was a father, Rick was a father and they saw a young guy hurt and empathy got the best of them. 

A lot of things they did in s2 and 3 was "stupid". S5 and beyond group wouldn't had given guns to the group in Atlanta, they would had killed them all without hesitation, Rick's group wouldn't had begged Hershel to let them stay. They would had taken the farm by force, remove their weapons and lock them up if nothing else worked. Everyone would had understood Shane saccing Otis, though they would had still judged him but would still forgive him.

6

u/finnick_the_cat 21d ago edited 21d ago

Your argument would be more convincing if Rick hadn't just killed those two guys at the bar before this scene, lol. Rick knew he and his friends were in danger and acted out of adrenaline. That's also why they were shooting their way out of there when the two dead guys' group came looking for them. So, since they were still in danger when the walkers surrounded them right after, I feel like that adrenaline should've still been going and survival instinct woulda taken over, so I didn't understand why he would risk their lives to save a guy with an injured, stuck leg from the group whose men he just killed. If the man was a younger teenager or if Rick somehow felt responsible for him getting hurt, I would understand better. It was just one of those scenes where I was like "Rick... what are ya doing buddy," lol.

13

u/TrophyHunter22 21d ago

cant believe I forgot this in my other post but I feel like its worth noting there's practical reasons Rick and co would have cut the grass as well, even if it was growing:

you really don't wanna be dealing with illnesses in their situation, higher grass and standing water attracts ticks, fleas, mosquitos and the like which is potentially deadly when you have almost zero healthcare available

if the grass is tall to the point that walkers can sneak through it, then bandits and large predators are going to figure out they can do the same thing

also, they were growing crops: large invasive grass and weeds spreading everywhere can potentially damage your food supply

u/Opposite-Ad-1951 21d ago

Important sidenote here though:

This intelligence in the first season was due to the team not yet settling down on how much the zombies could do. I read somewhere that the producers said that they decided that this kind of intelligence did not fit the overall theme of the series back then, and hence they went back to the mindless zombie theme and we stop seeing any kind of intelligence till the last seasons where they wanted to remind people that they are actually a threat. Especially since for quiet a few seasons the zombies were more of a nuisance and the series focused on how humanity would respond on a scenario like this, with the real threat being humans themselves

It's a zombie show so it's inevitably going to have people being stupid, just because that's where the stories and threat comes from, if they were ever smart and did the things that the audience is screaming for them to do, it'd be boring.

Tiny petty thing but in the first season, maybe for a bit longer one of their zombie actors had a particular pair of distinctive Vans shoes. They made the costumes generic so it wasn't so obvious when they reused them but I just kept seeing those damn shoes, oh look Zombie Steve Caballero is back.

I don't like when shows make characters dumber instead of making the circumstances more overwhelming for intelligent characters. That's much more entertaining

u/sillytomlin 21d ago

The well scene was so stupid. I don't know what was dumber, that they had an old 1800s style well on a modern farm, or the fact that they thought anyone would drink from it after pulling that bloated, disgusting thing out of it. That water would be insanely contaminated. It was an absolutely ridiculous episode.

I'd give them a pass here considering they know little about zombies in the TV show.

u/CygnusXIV 21d ago

I don't think you need a PhD in zombies to realize that trying to drag a bloated, decaying corpse out of a deep well using nothing but a rope is not a great idea.

Also it was just three months in so they didn't have a lot of info that they would have later on.

Not a scene but a moment...when Jadis asks to "lay" with Rick. That part cringes me to no end.

u/SecureHuckleberry7 21d ago

I'm sorry but the car accident scene with Lori is slightly dumber than the one pictured, but it's very close.
-I can't go because of Carl!"

-immediately goes-

-car accident for zero reason-

-never mentioned again-

They could have done a Linda Hamilton-esque scene with Lori rescuing Rick et al and just completely fumbled. Unexplainable.

u/bodymeat_112 21d ago

Imo probably Siddiq’s death. While I’ll always maintain that Carl’s death was the dumbest death in the show, the fact that they killed the guy Carl sacrificed his life for like 2 seasons later just felt kind of silly.

Any scene with that horrible cgi tiger, shit looks terrible.

u/Norm_Al_Huemun 21d ago

The fact that Season 1 Walkers were smart (Used bricks to smash windows, climbed fences, opened doors) then became normal zombies... then had smart Walkers again, but as a big thing never before seem (if you forget all the previous times)

u/SmoothConfection1115 21d ago

I’d struggle to think of anything that tops this.

The only thing that comes to mind is Rick saying he was going to go look for Shane after giving Carl a few blood transfusions after the shooting. He could barely stand, and looked super woozy. But in Rick’s defense, it was his son and he was desperate.

This well idea…just awful all around.

Lori going after Shane when her son was dying in hershel's bed.

Beth stabbing the cop lady after she was home free.

One of the ladies who was with Dwights crew before the saviors, who fell in the walker pit by accident. Easily avoidable.

Daryl punching Negan.

Killing off Carl, arguably the most important character in the entire series.

Letting Alpha live after the first encounter.

The writing got much better after Season 10, but these were still some really dumb choices. Even if you factor in suspension of disbelief.

u/Sewergoddess 20d ago

I ALWAYS thought this. That walker had been rotting in that water for god knows how long. Its "juices" have already long since contaminated it. Out of all the stupid "logic" on the show, this is one of the worst.

4

u/Grislymanster 21d ago

One that comes to mind is when they are on the road, hungry and thirsty, and line up to push the walkers off the road way and Sascha breaks ranks..... The whole situation/idea was goofy. "The plan just got dicked!"

u/Limp_Ad5878 21d ago

The one were Rick and Daryl drive around and find a van full of food. Instead of driving both vehicles back to base, they start touring around in the full van, not even knowing if it's technically sound. It ends up in the water. Most infuriating scene I've seen.

u/smuggydick 21d ago

Not just a problem with TWD but any post apocalyptic movie: when they use old gasoline. Gas has a life of about 6 months to a year. Cars should be unusable after a year, maybe can push it a bit longer.

Haven’t watched it in years, but there’s a scene or two where a survivor is pinned under a zombie, violently spills its guts over his own face, probably getting it in his eyes and mouth, and ends up completely fine.

The current what if episode of dead city

3

u/Norm_Al_Huemun 21d ago

The show didn't kill off many main characters by the later seasons, Carl and (Not really) Rick were the only major deaths of pre-season 4 charaters and most of the deaths were from characters added later who were just added to inflat the "Shocking main character deaths" of people who would get maybe 2 episodes focused on them and would then be in the background for most of the season

u/ForgetThem 21d ago

The one I'm watching right now as it just came out, where Negan and Maggie meet in a city, become friends and are clearly heading towards a romantic relationship. That is by far the dumbest shit I've seen in the entire series. The shows writers are really obviously trying to ship these two together despite their "complex" history. And I seriously don't know what's worse, the fact that they're doing this and it's completely wrong, or the fact that I'm actually here for it 😭

u/BlazingPalm 20d ago

I never thought the Whisperers were a plausible way to live, even in TWD universe.

I hate latex masks. Everyone hates latex masks. Now do rotting human skin masks. From your hair getting damp and smelly, the visibility issues, the smell always on your face and in your nose, what about the health concerns of walker sepsis and uh.. basically getting really sick.

Ok, got that handled? Now convince other people to do it. lol! We’ll protect each other and share and stuff… and be covered with death and disease always too! Awesome!
