So decided to try and watch the show in its entirety, I started watching when it originally came out and I fell off after Negans crew fell I believe. Any way I just finished season one and there was a few things I didn't notice originally.

1. The Walkers in the beginning are different than their later versions. We see one walker using a big rock to bash the glass on a door, one walker actually starts climbing a fire escape later that Glen sent down to Rick, also when Rick and Glen had the guts washed off them and they had to jump and climb the fence several walkers climbed the fence just as easily 😳. One last walker thing is they seemed to enjoy sitting down and resting, more than once we see walkers get up out of vehicles and other places when prey shows up instead of just standing around waiting.

2. Dale is honestly one of the most selfish people in the show, I know he's the semi moral compass 🧭, but there's a few times where you see his selfishness shine bright. One of the biggest examples is the season 1 finale, Andrea decides to go out with the explosion and Dale guilt trips her out of it because he didn't want her to die because he cared about her. But Dale you're not her dad brother uncle husband etc, she'd just lost her only real family and the really wasn't a bright future ahead. Dale still keeps on even saying he'll die too then. Dale has a few more of these types of moments in his time. I just think he's selfish, he wants others to do what he thinks they should do.

3. Merle didn't need to cut his hand off, I'm sorry the links that hold those cuffs together are not stronger or thicker than the bones he'd had to cut through in his wrist. Why didn't he go back to the camp though I always wondered?

So I watched Dawn for the first time in quite a while last night, I'd have to say it's definitely first or second place for me as far as zombie movies go. The decision to not try to make an exact remake was smart I think.

I liked their story on it's own instead of comparing to Romeros constantly.

A few things I'd say about the situation they were in. For one I didn't agree with leaving the mall, it seemed like they made an emotional decision after the Andre incident.

The mall seemed like it was still safe and had supplies to live on for a time. The zombies were decomposing, they looked much worse at the end of the movie vs the beginning I think a month goes by in the movie. So it is possible the zombies may have died from decomposing or at least they maybe be not as dangerous. So escaping later on could be much more possible than when they do it in the movie.

So I'm not 100% sure, but I think I might have heard a skinwalker last night. So for info I live in the PNW not too far from Seattle by ferry. So we do have a lot of wilderness surrounding us, but my area is like 50/50 somewhat built up but I'm on the edge of where the woods really begin. Last night somewhere between 0200 and 0330, I started to hear a voices, at first they didn't stick out much above the usual noises of night, but then they both became distinct, one just made a crying type sound the whole time, the other sounded like a kid maybe 7 to 9 saying the exact same phrase repeatedly "help can someone help" with about a minute or two in between each one. But the tone of voice never changed, not up or down, no excitement to it almost kind flat. It sounded like it was coming from down and across the road, which is the side the woods start.

This went on for about maybe 10 minutes or so, and it never changed the same crying sounds and the same sentence. Then, just like that, both voices abruptly stopped.

I'd never heard anything like this before, the only kids around here are my neighbors, and this wasn't them.

Was watching Dawn of the Dead the other day the original. An I always have the same question, why did the Dead go to the mall? In the movie in the movie they say it's some semblance of memory this place was important.

But Zombies have always run on one basic need, the need to feed, I don't think mall when I'm hungry. In the original there's a lot of Dead in the mall like whatever happened to cause the zombies happened during business hours even though most the stores were closed and secured??

But I did notice something, the mall in the original is located right beside a residential area, there's a big road coming down hill from the neighborhood areas, I think as things calmed down on the streets in the neighborhoods the Dead followed the path of least resistance which would of brought them to the mall.

Another interesting thing, the crowd of zombies outside in the original never got too crazy big, not like in the remake where almost the whole county somehow ended up at the mall in that one even though that mall seemed more secluded not surrounded by houses.
