Presumably, this group is Neegan's group, but maybe he makes for a third group? I dunno. <br /><br />Agreed on the need for human antagonists, but it is disconcerting that all of WD's human villains hit the same note (psychotic), just at varying degrees (usually "FASTER AND MORE INTENSE"). It'd be nice to get a little variety (the Wolves seem like maybe they're different, in that their philosophy is a little more nihilistic/cultish than usual. <br /><br /><i>in a move I found more hilarious than I should have) Daryl also scored a random wood carving.</i><br /><br />Heh. I loved that too. Like, he just wants to grab whatever they value just for being inconvenienced. <br /><br /><i> It seems like they're agreeable to it but instead they steal Daryl's motorcycle and leave him high and dry. </i><br /><br />I did not like that at all. I totally thought we were heading toward them joining the Alexandrians (or at least becoming cannon fodder en route to that), as a sort of further counterpoint to Rick's "us vs. them" mentality, and further building up Daryl's desire to go out and find new people, just to sort of say "hey, there's good people that have fallen in amongst the bad". <br /><br />But no, they go and steal Daryl's stuff and while I don't think they're going to run off and rejoin that other group, it's just another example of the show's belief in the worst of humanity. <br /><br /><i>I'm assuming the kidnappers were legitimately trying to run away from those attackers. This wasn't some kind of con, right?</i><br /><br />I also took them to be legitimately running away. <br /><br /><i> It was mostly a lot of talking and I was bored by them.</i><br /><br />Ditto. I mean, +1 for a rocket launcher, but I'm pretty sure the point at which Abraham was hazing out on that bridge, I was nodding off too...<br /><br /><i>Also, it seems like Abraham and Sasha may be hooking up. What happened to Rosita?</i><br /><br />I also wondered that. <br /><br /><i>How readily available would insulin be in the zombie apocalypse? I assume nobody is making more. I wonder how long insulin lasts.</i><br /><br />I'm pretty People Insulin has the same limitation as Cat Insulin, so I'd think at this point in the apocalypse, it'd all be bad and diabetics would be dead. Unless maybe less potent insulin is still better than none? <br /><br /><i>The kidnappers talked about actually trying to stem the tide of zombies, fighting them and hoping to one day defeat them. That's something I wouldn't have mind seeing.</i><br /><br />Ditto - as you've heard me say a thousand times, the thing that makes a zombie poc different from other apocalypses is that its ultimately finite, which means it could, with a lot of effort, be stopped.

It's just these kind of little tidbits that'll become surprisingly important in zombie apocalypse and which are going to make all the general variety initial liquor store raiders feel themselves a bit silly as it progresses.<br /><br />Luckily there will be plenty of healthy jogging to help me with my high blood pressure once the pills run out (he said, denying the all-too-likely prospect of ending up a Season One deadbeat).Teemunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-43279973028192807402016-02-26T15:08:06.656-06:002016-02-26T15:08:06.656-06:00True, I just know my cat's insulin only last f...True, I just know my cat's insulin only last for approximately 6 months and then it'll begin to lose potency. I think after a year it's probably done for. So even if you could stock up on a lot of insulin I still question how long that supply would last before becoming useless.Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-2307367601358500172016-02-26T02:45:13.285-06:002016-02-26T02:45:13.285-06:00How readily available would insulin be in the zomb...<i>How readily available would insulin be in the zombie apocalypse?

Rolling up an average drug store, and you <i>would</i> be rolling up a drug store in this case, will see you supplied for a long time.Teemunoreply@blogger.com
