I am confused as to why Woodbury has guards on the wall at all.


. . . Where is all this food coming from?

The Undead attract their own kind. If you left a handful just standing by the walls, soon you'll have an army of them pushing against the walls. From what has been shown in the past handful of episodes, the walls are strong, but not that strong. A few zombies pushing against one spot could make an opening. Have to kill one as soon as they come into view. As for ammunition, they try to mainly use arrows to kill the zombies. When it's clear, they can open the gates and retrieve those arrows to use again and again. (Though I'm sure someone like the Governor has made sure to have plenty of ammunition on hand. Plus, they did get plenty of weapons and ammunition from the convoy of soldiers they killed.)

They likely have a good stock-pile of food since none of the 70 people in the town look like they're starving. I'm sure they also send others out to look for food or hunt game in the surrounding area.

One would hope that Michonne would have related her suspicions that the Governor has a group of amoral killers under his command, but the general citizenry seem to be decent folk, albeit it bit naive. This would allow the potential to sneak into the town, gather a group of civilians together and explain their situation, ideally forcing the Governor into a nonviolent resolution. Of course this wouldn't make for exciting TV.

I don't think that's a viable option. The Governor has given those civilians back a "normal" way of Life. They're going to be loyal to him. They'll see Rick and the others as dangerous intruders. Even the most sadistic, murderous, dictators throughout history have won the blind devotion of their people. Not to get too political, but when Stalin died; the people he oppressed didn't dance for joy in the streets. They cried, mourned his death, turned out in the millions to attend his funeral. Same thing here. Biggest difference being that the Governor has done an excellent job of hiding his dark side from his people.

I suspect that you're right. In any event, it wouldn't be worth the risk to the group to test that hypothesis.

On another subject, I would like to see some creative uses for walkers. Someone mentioned putting them on treadmills to generate electricity. Other potential uses could be to hook them up to plows; have them turning wheels for pumps and grist mills; as transportation (walker rickshaws); and as weapons (e.g., herds, walker heads thrown via trebuchets or dropped in holes as a sort of horrific trap, etc.).

As the show was originally set in Atlanta, I'd love to see someone stop by Museum Replicas Limited and get geared up in full chain/plate mail, grab a flail or sword, and just wade into a horde of walkers. 8^ )
 
Re: The Walking Dead

I just don't see Walkers at the walls as a big issue.

If it is an issue, dangle a piece of meat close to the wall, and use a pole-arm like a Spear, Halberd or Pike to dispatch it. And I sincerely doubt Walkers--who cant breach the prison fence--could breach steel-reinforced 10ft high walls, even in staggering numbers.

Just seems like a broad waste of calories to have so many guards up there.

Might be a Public Relations gimmick as well.

The rest of the civilians in the town see the guards constantly up there, they just assume everything is good. If something happens, hey; no worries. The guards will deal with it immediately.

No spoilers, please.

In some parts of the world, folks have to wait until Tuesday to see what you and I got to enjoy just awhile ago.

That's one thing I didn't like. If you have to explain a scene to the audience, then you've failed as a Director.

I thought that was pretty obvious in that scene. I think they did a great job with her death a little different but that’s what makes this show.
I love it cannot wait till February.

Good to see there are some other sick CPF member's into TWD.

cheers

Got to admit though, that zombie devoured her entire body (bones and all) way too quickly.
