I notice that there was never a mention about the radio signal that was picked up.

Is that going to play in to the next season now that the prison has been evacuated, TG is dead, and who knows where Judith is?

I would guess so. Seems they didn't have time to discuss it. When that group arrived they rushed the meds in then had to clean up from the walker invasion. The Gov's attack came just as Rick told Daryl about Carol.

When I was in Knoxville I was confident that an instant retreat to the App Mtns would be a great go-to. Shots would echo off the mountains so they would never know the origin, you could see them coming, you could keep an eye out over several miles. Not to mention tons of cover.

After the initial zombie rush you could go to wherever you thought was good.

Now that I'm in Nashville I really have no idea. I guess I would do something similar with the hills around Nashville and hope for the best.

I would say I'd be fine here in the Austin for the same reasons you mentioned about the mountains. The Texas Hill Country isn't as elevated, but it'd work. Plus, since Austin is a big city, resources would be plentiful throughout the area. The only downside would be the potential for more walkers, but eh... that's what they call a trade-off...

I don't think any larger city would work. They'd all look like some variation of Atlanta as portrayed in the first season. If you mean picking at the outskirts where practical that make make sense though the odds of ye olde roaming hoard would still be much greater near any urban setting.

I'm about 35 minutes away from downtown. It'd work for a while, but I'd probably end up leaving.

The season isn't over yet, just a mid season break. I'm sure it will be touched on.

As a man who grew up and owns land in the Cumberland plateau I can say its about as safe as you can get. The only zombies to deal with would be the ones there already, which is not a high number of people. Plus the large number of wild animals (assuming virus is humans only) would take out a lot of them. Freezing cold and 90+ degree summers would as well, on top of the natural defenses of the forests, mountains, windy roads, rivers, etc.

We forget that these stories only have zombies last so long as a plot device, when real world laws are applied to a virus/infection like this, they would nearly all be gone in less than a few weeks or months depending on the location and time of year.

Are you guys talking about just pitching a tent in the woods? Might be alright for the initial outbreak but it doesn't offer much shelter. Some type of elaborate tree house would come in handy. It'd be elevated so you'd be off the ground.

I think an ideal shelter after an outbreak would be some type of navy vessel. You could anchor off shore or just off a dock even. It'd be mobile, reinforced, you'd have food, basic medical supplies. If you found an aircraft carrier outfitted with a hospital that'd be a major score.

Here in Knoxville though a large boat on the river, house boat, lake house with a getaway boat out back. A large brick house in a gated community. The prison was a good idea though it lacked comfort and a high concrete wall would have served better than a chain link fence.

Seems like the prison would have easily been over run by a herd like the one that hit the farm. The fence came down when there was only about 50-75 of them. Imagine is 2-3k rolled up.

Speaking of... The herd that Daryl's group ram into. Why didn't it just change direction and continue to follow them?

If it were me I'd avoid tree houses. Sure it would be great at first but once a herd realizes you're up there you're probably screwed with no way down for food or warer.

That's why I said the prison probably would have been a decent long term shelter had it had a concrete fence line as opposed to chainlink.

Only a small portion of that gigantic herd saw them, thankfully the zombies aren't a collective like the Borg. :)

I didn't mean long term just the interim. Obviously you wouldn't stick around if a large herd approached and you'd also give yourself multiple exits through rope bridges and ziplines.

There are enough cabins and houses tucked away in the hills, not to mention abandoned buildings, you'd be able to find something to hold up in for a while.

Then you have smaller towns tucked away in the mountains that you could raid, with minimal resistance.

If you had a group, you could take to the towers to see what was around you. At the very least, you could follow the App Trail somewhere during the warm months. I wouldn't imagine that there would be many people with the possibility of hoards of zombies in the national parks either.

Mountains, ftw.

The biggest threat would be raiding some store on the way there, or packing sufficiently in a hurry, then actually making it up to the mountains. There are too many small roads that could easily be blocked. I bet that I-40 would STILL have road work or traffic problems somehow. Miserable road.

You'd probably have to "mountain hop" and take your time getting there.

Has anyone here read Day By Day Armageddon?

Pretty good ZA book.

I think it's part of a series too? I can't remember. I cranked out a few ZA books whenever they initially announced the Walking Dead series and I found all the comics online. I was hooked, living that ZA dream for a few months.

Good News for TWD! Maybe...

On December 6, 2013 AMC cancelled Low Winter Sun freeing up Lennie James(Morgan Jones in TWD)! Although he's already been scheduled to appear this season maybe they incorporate him more into the show.
