Now all of a sudden they were all killed by the zombie horde, even though they were armed to the teeth, weren't trapped, and didn't even need to engage the walkers?
shareI don't get it. They could have gone into any of the houses and been fine.
shareYeah, it makes no sense whatsoever.
"What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?"
this is the very beginning of the walker apocalypse...everyone is still very inexperienced when taking on walkers.
Im thinking they all ran out of bullets after firing so many into the air(very stupidly) and then they panic-ed and met their demise with the walkers.

How much experience does one need to climb on a building and stay there?
It is one thing to get trapped and cornered. Had they bothered to set up a trap forcing them to retreat to a building with no back entrance and no doors, perhaps. But, man, how dumb do all those people have to be to get killed in place they can escape into all directions? Would it really need walkers to kill those people or would they drop dead out of sheer dumbness?
Remember a few episodes ago two of them literally got eaten alive while they were shooting at them in the middle of nowhere? Clearly they're dumbasses.
shareThey clearly ran out of ammo. Look at how wreckless they were with the guns to begin with
shareEven if they ran out of ammo, it didn't look like they were trapped. Why would they not think to, or be able to, just run away? I know there is a precedent of characters making decisions so questionable that it takes you out of that suspension of belief, like when those two idiots in the Jeep just stood there and allowed a horde to overtake them, so I guess it's not surprising at this point that more of their buddies would be so comically dumb as well. Ugh.
shareLOL, I completely agree. No way in heck they would have been caught. They would have just walked up the hill, gone around a few buildings and walked right back down the hill and gotten out.
AND THEN without a hitch...... Travis and Mad can just walk on up and grab the guns and just saunter on back down the hill and have time to stop and chat with the doc. AND NOT ONE walker follows them.
The writing on this show is pretty hilarious in many instances.
Who do you think they are? Mercenaries? They are a group of thugs that stockpiles weapons that they aren't experts with. They're also cowardly because they got scared and loss their bearings. They panicked. it showed them for the cowards they really were. Just because they're called a cartel doesn't mean they weren't stupid. They got by on hype and intimidation.
So i don't think they all died, but some of them did because they were better at terrorizing people than handling a horde. The ringleaders probable gave the dirty work to the others and never had to really get their hands dirty or fight the zombies one by one.
The walkers didn't follow travis and his family because they didn't raise a ruckus like the thugs did.
We also don't know that they all died. Some of them probably ran away out the back. We only saw a few of them dead. It seemed like the main guys who probably thought they were invincible. They might have lost to many shooters and been overwhelmed.
shareI agree that they all might not have died. However for the show, to show, that the main dude became a walker was hilarious in my mind. This dude had the brain power to set up a trade location in the beginning days of an apocalypse yet cannot figure out that by jumping a few fences or moving around a few buildings he could get away?
And to add that the walkers didn't follow Trav and Mad because they didn't make any noise... that's what the person you responded to you stated.... makes me laugh.
I don't make *beep* up to justify watching the show. The show is far from perfect but I also don't think it is that bad. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't watch it. I make up ideas for how things happen in any show if they are not explained. That is what you are supposed to do in my opinion (though some shows do abuse that and it doesn't work).
I think the problem in this case was that they wanted to show the faces of the guys who died to give it some kind of impact. They should have focused more on showing the violence and bodies all over the place to show that they fought for the place. I also think there should have been more walkers for a place that was 'protected by the dead.'
The thing is that I understand the leader getting taken down because he was so set on taking that place that he would never have left. They showed that when he stopped on the stairs to me. If his buddy hadn't pulled him back then he would have kept shooting until he died. I don't necessarily think all of his friends shared that devotion so that is why I think some got away.
As for Maddy and Travis, they were on the edge of the herd. They had a clear escape and didn't shoot any to attract them. The ones who were walking at them were the only ones that saw them. While the rest would have come following eventually, it might not have been instantly. The also might have been busy with the food they already had.
lol
Thanks for your reply.
Because trav and mad didn't make a ruckus they weren't followed? I love it.
I really do love how people will make up anything they can to make this show great in their minds.
This show is passable, yet is what it is, just a show that the writers can make anything up as it goes along without having it make sense.
this show is a 5 for me, which is just fine. I watch it. I think it's a dandy of a show with many faults. Many shows are the same way.
If I had to break down your answer i'd just say............ any person of logic would have done what I typed. Just move away from the walkers coming towards you and your home free.... But you want to see it a different way, which is cool. just not the way any normal person would act in a state of flee. It boggles my mind how a walker or even a group that moves at one mile per hour could ever catch a human... Did you not see that landscape? A human hops fences, goes around buildings, what-have-you and can get away easily.
What I don't understand is that the cartel was somehow able to make it through the "fence" of walkers without any casualties yet when they make it inside the much larger space of the Cantina they're somehow done in by the same walkers they were able to get past easily before? It makes no sense. I suppose it's possible that more walkers came in from outside the fence, but I did not get any indication that there were a lot more walkers outside.
shareEmbarrassingly bad writing. Laughable even. Anyone who tries to defend it, shame on you. I think this show can be very good at times, but fair to call it out when the writers pull something very stupid like this for simple shock value.
