it just dawned on me. Why wouldn’t Jackson use that cabin Abby’s group was at as an out post or something? It in clear line of sight to Jackson. They could have built it up to sort of like a barracks.
I thought the same thing while watching. It seems like something that should have been handled already and not just left alone since it is such a dangerous position for the town. Someone with good binoculars can recon the shite out of it without even trying.
I also thought it was sort of stupid for them to hold up there and start a fire, since the smoke seems like it could easily be seen from Jackson. But I guess nobody was looking?

Agree with that as well. Although maybe they underestimated how intelligent the zombies are since they knew where to attack the outer wall and inherently knew to run inside of houses, open doors, run upstairs, and onto rooftops. I already mentioned that in my initial post in here, but that sort of bugged me how they would run inside and just immediately run to the doors that led to the roofs.
I realize that the cordyceps shite gives the zombies a hive-mind-like ability, but that doesn't explain their actions inside the walls of the town IMO.

Question: Were the infected always this fast? It seems like they were slower in the beginning. But, my memory isn't great.
Yeah, this was kind of weird. They had all of these other defenses in place but, didn't think to keep the infected from getting to their defensive positions?

He really tried to compare posting a youtube clip of the show or a song from the show to posting a video of a YouTuber talking about the show like they are the same thing.
Everyone uses YouTube. Most of us just dont subscribe to YouTubers and form/reaffirm our opinions of things based off of theirs.

She's being sarcastic saying it's bad to know things. What she's missing (intentionally) is that she's watching videos about spoilers from the game so that she can know what's coming on the show, and then pretend to know all about the show despite "never playing the game."
Short answer: she's being a pretentious a-hole.

I said the same thing while watching Sunday, because it was ridiculous to me that the zombies were keeping up with Joel and company ON HORSES IN THE SNOW fairly easily. I didn't care for that. At least make it semi realistic in terms of zombie threat.
I seem to remember in the first season they would sort of go berserk and sprint a lot, but keeping up with horses is pretty dumb.

I believe they were quick but not necessarily smart about their movements.
It’s probably not a big jump to suggest they’re evolving in that way too.

Thought the same.

A normal person wouldn't. But she's a 80 year old that that obsesses over pedophiles, gays, and trans in movies and TV and just watches incel youtube all day and doesn't ever actually watch the shows but likes to go in threads and troll and act like a know it all. Girl is legit mentally off.

I asked this earlier but didn't see anything.
They were legit keeping up with running horses.

Here's a YouTube video of when they came out of the hole in the ground outside of the town they were in for Season 1.
They were moving pretty damn fast.

Yeah, the bloater seemed to be the difference also.

quote:similar to the brain bug in starship troopers. It would be very very cool to incorporate the real world capabilities of mycelium as far as communication and behavior direction which it’s clear they are attempting to do. What I would like to see is some exposition here by someone (could be anyone) to confirm that for the audience

have someone pick up a book on fungi and do the research for us and lay it out there
Posted on 4/23/25 at 9:34 am to cgrand
kind of a derail but related…if you want your mind blown as to what fungi are capable of and how completely in control of the natural world they are, read a book called “entangled life”. It will seriously change everything you thought you knew about how the biosphere works

I thought it was pretty obvious that the fungus in the Jackson pipes was communicating (the tendrils rising up and waving) with the collective.
The means of that weren't made explicit, but I thought the effect was clear.

the last mycologist we saw was way back in EP1. go back to her if needed

Gotcha. We're agreeing.
Posted on 4/23/25 at 9:50 am to cgrand
Fair enough.
