Well I've watched the first and second season, got a little boring for me after that (not many series can hold my interest after their first let alone second season).
After watching the episodes I always thought what I would do different, if in their situation and unprepared.
Personally I always thought my first action would be to try and create a "safe zone". Start small and build up if needed. They eventually made it to a prison (which isn't a bad idea). But I thought their best bet was on that farm. They should have set up defenses (going on that armies were over run I would have thought creating a bottleneck, booby traps, dead ends etc. would have been a good tactic. Also since they were detracted by their own blood I would have smeared blood around a boundary (hide the smell of those living behind the boundary too). Behind the boundary with a farm I would have tried to create a community.
To me in the show they spend all their time surviving NOT living.
The other (more adventurous and long-term goal) would have been baiting zombies to a place away from the camp. This could have been a few spots in the vicinity (a location to draw them away from your camp). In these bait areas regularly go there and "put down" the zombies. After all the zombie population is finite.
The show seems to suggest that the greatest issue will come from other humans more so than zombies, after the initial shit. I think creating a community that is exclusive could overcome a lot of these issues. Call me an optimists but I want to think the best in a person, not the worse. Post apocalypse shows and movies seem to suggest only the most selfish, sadistic and violent people survive ... suppose they would be boring if compassionate, caring, and selfless people survived.
What are your thoughts after watching Walking Dead? Or other zombie movies?
