A lot of motherfuckers in this thread are straight up lying. LYING.
Zombies in the comics do stealth mode all the fucking time.
Almost every single time they are shown.
Recent example: Look at their arrival in issue #94... those things are like, 10 feet away before anyone notices them?
Seriously, they discuss different "types" of zombies and how they behave in the comics, there isn't any real reason to complain about this sorta' shit, when you could be complaining about something that matters to the quality of the show.
The TV show's zombies, behave the way the TV show's zombies behave. Any inconsistency you detect, is just another wrinkle in the details.
Now lets get back to talking about the bad writing and stop pretending it matters if the show's zombies are incongruous with some other fictional monsters you've seen...
It's sad to say, because I really wanted to like this show, but there are plenty of procedurals that are better than The Walking Dead.
Not really.
It's not good, but it's not the same episode week after week. Homeboy's point is accurate, there are plenty of worse shows. I'm not saying we should pretend it's good or anything, but just because csi, law and order, ncsi, cold case files and maybe bones don't incite as much nerd rage doesn't really mean they are more creative, ambitious, entertaining or whatever. It just means people who watch zombie shit dpn't get angry when they see them.
I mean, my wife watches police procedurals. I don't know when you last scoped one, but it's like literally mad libs...
