The most unrealistic part of that show was their use of cars. Yanks truly cannot comprehend not driving everywhere, even in a post apocalyptic future.

    Show or comic? Cuz the show dragged out the timeline. The Governor's attack on the prison with a tank was supposed to be like ten months into the apocalypse. It took like 5 years to get there on the show and Carl was almost a teenager.

    Most petrol type products are not very long term stable.. which is sort of why they make great fuel. Unless someone had a secret oil refinery and a huge supply chain.. they should have ran out gas by year 3.

    Did the show ever get to the heart of the comic?

    Which was the rejection of going ultra violent brutal hardcore. That people aren’t and don’t have to be inherently evil and to not let a few bastards ruin things.

    Was everything else along the way needed? No. But it helps.

    nerd Acktaully the zombie virus continually obliterates all bacteria and infectious agents, thereby preserving teeth and the body well past it's expiration date

    I feel like they should have just gone with the evil dead "a wizard did it" if they wanted everyone to be infected and turn and all these zombies to lay around for years and still wake up

    Spoiler from after the series ended:

    !spoiler spoiler In an interview after the series ended, Rovert Kirkman said the cause of the virus was alien spores, the same cause of the original zombie film, Night of the Living Dead. >!

    I caught the show once at a friend's house and saw Steven Yuen's character's arc close. It was too much.

    Everyone who read the comics and knew that scene was coming:

    Robert Kirkman did say he wished he didn't go so far with the Governor so early in the series because it made writing subsequent villains more difficult. So when he got to Negan, he knew he had to do something serious since it was going to be a longer story arc.
