Yeah, it could have been the fire that brought them in. But one handed dude had the truck while the guys hiked it back. He had plenty of time to do something. Though if he thought his brother was in the camp, he wouldn't do it right?

I'm more concerned about the grave digger. I really don't want any psychic stuff going on in this show. Keep it to zombies.

I dunno I think it might have been Merl, put them in the truck or something since he was so teed off. I'm surprised they didn't have a plan in place for when zombies came to the camp, it was just ridiculous chaos and if they had come up with some sort of meeting place - like the trailer it wouldn't have been such a s*** show

IDK if it would have been Mearl, he had no way of knowing that his brother wasn't at the camp and I don't think he would unleash zombies on his brother.

Spoiler!

Would shooting that guy with an arrow that had previously been used to shoot zombie heads be enough to potentially infect him with the zombie bug?

Fair enough, i would like it to stay away from the normal lures that make a good television show a bad one.

Look how fast Heroes went from being the best TV show to the worst... not long.

I was wondering how only a select number of zombies made it to the camp? Having that guy who cut his hand off unleash them on camp is an interesting idea but not quite sure how he could have pulled that one off. You would think that with all the gunfire every zombie in the city would be heading towards their camp. Although maybe that will happen next episode and they will have to run for it.

All in all really enjoying the show. I watched episodes 2 and 3 in a row last weekend and ended up having zombie dreams haha

Never thought of that, but you would think, I'm not sure we'll see anymore of the vato's though.

In the preview for this Sunday's episode it showed them leaving. Looks like they just figured it was no longer safe and decided to move on rather than wait for more to show up.

What's with that Noel Gugliemi guy being in every single movie and/or TV show that requires a stereotypical gangster Mexican in it? I mean, literally, every single movie and/or TV show that has some Mexican gangsters has this guy. Even Lost had this guy hanging with Sawyer in prison being -- you guessed it, a Mexican gangster. Man, that guy has that role down to a science.

He wasn't in Breaking Bad. He must have been busy doing something else at the time.

There's the old Asian guy from the Seinfeld episode at the restaurant who fills that niche too. It's quite funny when you think about it.

I wasn't really paying attention to the preview but did it look like they were heading BACK into the city? Maybe to meet up with the tough janitor turned gang leader and help defend some old people

They had Danny Trejo, so they didn't need Gugliemi.

The good old ethnic typecast. Keeps those guys working I guess. Seems to happen with a lot of gangster roles (black gangs, italian mafia, mexican gangs, european crime families). You see the same actors in these roles all the time.

I'm glad the whole gang thing turned into something else. Put a more interesting spin on things that way.

I thought the acting was very poor in general in the last episode. Even in the last scene where they get attacked. I guess it must be difficult to pull off a true drama in a world with zombies, which are always kind of humerous no matter what. You can see them trying to walk that line between drama and cheesey horrer flick and it doesn't always work.

I don't like when the logical gaps are too wide. It's distracting from the story and really tests the 'suspension of disbelief.' In this episode I'm talking about the cop's plan to just march into the gang compound guns blazing to rescue his friend.

His big plan to go save the Korean guy was to just walk in packing heat with three guys against a compound of over 20 guys with guns. Nobody would do that. The fact that it ends up working out does not distract from the fact that that is really bad writing. How was he to know that these guys were actually harmless? He basically signed himself and his buddies to a suicide mission when he has a wife and child waiting back at the camp struggling to survive in a hostile world.

Doesnt. Make. Sense. Really drags down my impression of the show.

No kidding, i figured he was going to whip out the grenade and use that as his way of peace keeping (like dark knight joker scene)

The last two episodes are critical in keeping viewers watching.
