From what I could tell, only a small group of people ever knew that the woman was in quarantine and knew who the other guy was whom she said was sick also. I think it was Glen, Marshall, Carol, not sure who else.

It had to be one of them and the most likely one is Carol who is now gung ho and personal safety.

I think it's this chick

She's the only one who could make a compelling story between Cutty and whoever it is that burned them.

True, that would make sense but then again lately with TWW, does it really need to make sense? Carol or that girl, and I'll stick to older daughter whose dad just died for the rats issue as she enjoyed looking at them too much, saying that they're people, etc.

Well, I mean, I don't want to shit in anybody's Cheerios, but the premise of the show itself isn't particularly realistic. I mean, when (not 'if') the Zombie apocolypse arrives, they'll be far more devastating and deadly than these neutered undead folk who can be killed easily with a shot to the head. They would have never spread so quickly. The military would have had it squashed in a matter of a week. They move slow. They move in packs. They're dumb. I mean, COME ON MAN!

True, theres a lot of silly things that go on in the show that make no sense from a logical standpoint, but they're done to increase the drama. I think the recent seasons are far different than the first season as well. In the first season the zombies were much faster and they were difficult to avoid and fight because of that speed. I mean, they are in the south, SEC! SEC! Maybe these new zombies are yankees?
Anyway, if you look at the prison, why don't they try reinforcing the fences with the materials they scavenge? Or why don't they block the fences so they zombies can't see in, kind of like how Woodbury was? Why don't they have a crew clearing fences hourly so they don't build up? Why don't they have some sort of sound generating devices like wind chimes in the woods to attract zombies away from the prison? Lots of logical things you or I would do to prevent these problems...but they wouldn't make for any kind of conflict on a show :lol:
As far as the military, I am kind of curious what happened to them all. You would think that a well armed military would still have the advantage over any kind of zombie uprising, so maybe they're still in operation somewhere? Maybe something occurred where the sick/dying on the base quickly turned to walkers and caught everyone off guard? It's unlikely, and if there was a base out there with a functioning military it would probably kill the show. The show seems to thrive when they offer some glimpse of hope, then squash it to dramatic effect.

I dated a zombie for a while, and I find the way this show portrays zombies to be offensive. Zombies quite obviously have feelings and should have no more or less right to live or unlive than humans. When I unchained this girl, occasionally, she didn't bite me. She just stared at me with love. She had no limbs, for safety, but I knew her feelings.

If the writers could just give some respect to the difficulty of being a zombie in the world some of us would bother to watch the show.

Why don't they dig a trench, fill it with oil/tar/whatever, throw some meat in there, and then torch them when they come for the buffet?

Especially considering that they were pretty much handed that idea by the Governor, and the subsequent torching of the pits the Walkers were in by the dorky scientist guy with a hard on for now dead Blondie, towards the end of last season

It would seem to me that there ought to be ways to mass-kill things that are slow and can't use "strategery" but these guys persist in killing them one at a time. That would seem to be a sure way to guarantee that you ultimately lose as it plays to the zombies' strengths.

Yeah why not go zombie hunting. Ffs, a tin can trip wire set up 200 yards out, wrapping the perimeter would keep them off the fences anyway.
