Do you think the show has dumbed down the zombies?

The show generally uses the Romero-zombie archetype (slow, thoughtless), but has been pretty inconsistent in their exact behaviour (ie - from smelling Rick and Glen through zombie guts in the rain, to not smelling a large group of people hiding under cars). They did seem a little dumber this episode (less alert and dangerous), which I think they're doing to show the characters are becoming more savvy. So the zombies seem to be whatever the plot needs them to be
It seems like the show is finally finding it's legs: carl has a gun, rick has his balls, the weak sauce characters are mostly dead and it looks like the prison will get done right.
