Okay, this is starting to bug me, but where are all the zombies coming from? They have no way of increasing their numbers other than living people dying, but seeing how few living people are around (as far as we and the characters know) and how easy the survivors can kill zombies by now, the zombie numbers have to go down every day. Even if one person in Rick's crew gets zombified, it doesn't offset the ten zombies some other guy killed in some forest on the same day. Add to that the part of how they've been living in the same general area for several years now. Shouldn't they have killed every zombie in a 50 mile radius or so? Sure, there are huge hordes which even if they see, they can't just easily walk up to them and kill them off, but those would consist of thousands of zombies. Still, they keep encountering lone zombies or small groups of 4-5 of them, just appearing out of nowhere. Where were those particular zombies a week earlier? A month? A year? How did they somehow avoid having been killed until now? The walkers tend to group into herds, and just walk aimlessly. Those herds grow to insane numbers, and just cross the country trying to survive. Between US and Canada there's roughly 375 million people. And while exact numbers have never been specifically stated, it's definitely been implied that very few humans survived so odds are it's gonna take the survivors an insanely long time to eliminate them all.

And even if you're talking about only 5% survived that's still only 15 million I believe and that number dwindles do over the years with each person that dies and obviously the world isn't being as repopulated

So the survival rate is quite possibly even lower than 5%

So the survival rate is quite possibly even lower than 5% Right which is a massive boost when you think back that the most we have seen in one group at once is probably a little over hundred if not maybe close 2 when you think at Woodbury and obviously diff settlements now like Rick's group, Hilltop etc..

How did they somehow avoid having been killed until now? The world has 6 Billion people. The U.S. has over 320 Million They've no doubt probably killed thousands but that doesn't eliminate the fact they will be around. Some Zombies could have been roaming since the beginning in the woods or whatever because people lived out there and died The biggest question to my recollection they never really answered is how they survive in the Winter and we know Zombies can deteriorate if they don't eat so there has to be some that die automatically if they are trapped somewhere without food like a house or something like that
The show should have been based in Southern Ontario, then we wouldn’t have to endured up to this point.

I guess the zombies would maybe freeze then thaw in spring and just be nastier, but the humans wouldn’t stand a chance to survive

Isn't it established that zombies in TWD don't starve?
We've seen zombies hanging, stuck in pipes, trapped in the hospital from the start of the Zombie Apocalypse all still moving around.
So I don't think not eating affects them.

Credit to those who came up with the theory about Janis giving Rick to the helicopter people. Guess they really couldn't write him off with a death
We are in uncharted territory with no more Rick but yeah I can see them bringing him back for Commonwealth
Seems like we start the Alpha story line now too with what seems to be a 5 year time skip

Woh. The first segment of the Talking Dead was very interesting.

So, we haven’t seen the end of Rick. Just the end of Rick on TWD. They’re doing movies and other stuff. Seems a bit odd when the show’s ratings are plummeting:

{Spoiler} For all intents and purposes Rick is "dead" in the show it seems but they will keep his story going. It's interesting but I wonder what more they can tell with him especially when you think it's crazy that Rick would leave his daughter behind but I guess the justification is she's safe with Michonne and the rest

I caught the episode 30 mins late but it was a good episode
They've essentially wiped the story clean with this timeskip and i'm guessing anybody is fair game with this new story line that is coming
Also seeing Scott Wilson (Herschel) as a ghost after he just died a few weeks ago was sad

Sounds like they are planning on doing other shows, movies, etc with other past and present Walking Dead characters. It could end up being pretty cool.

It was good to see Shane and Hershel. Shoulda brought Lori back too. And the Governor.
But this show is going to shittier pastures. Wow, Judith in Carl’s place. Lame.
Not surprised Rick lived. Zero feels.

So a bit of a bait and switch. Rick is off the show, but his story isn't over yet. I'll probably give the show until the mid-season finale to see if I want to keep going. Though that extra stuff does sound a bit interesting.

I’m kind of surprised that they’re doubling down with so many people complaining about how bad the show has gotten. Their commercial with the whole “The Walking Dead is once again the best show on television” felt forced and a bit much. Says who? Idk. I still watch but it hasn’t been great in years. Talking zombies in the previews? Oh boy.
