THE WALKING DEAD.......CHANNEL 5

[skycat 6,174]

I think it's really good, which surprised me, as I'm not usually a fan of these incredibly long drawn-out series (Lost for example) but I like the way it examines how different people react to a bad situation and it actually makes me wonder how I'd behave in a similar situation: food for thought ain't normally high on small screen productions IMO.

lost has put me off things like that, i mean it started out real good, season 1-4 then it just went stupid

I like the cinematic feel of it - and as Skycat said, makes you wonder how you'd get along in a post apocalyptic world. More than once during the tenser moments of the show I've just thought 'fuk it, I'd shoot myself and be done with it all'

 

Proper looking forward to Autumn and series 3. Also the new series of Sons of Anarchy which is possibly the BEST series I've ever seen on tv

I don't normally go into far fetched scenarios, but it seems to me if that ever happened. It wouldn't be thst hard to survive.

Find an area , secure it , plenty materials available. Fill a container of supplies and there you go. If be far more worried about other survivors , than some walking corpse.

I could have my house secured in less than 2hrs I recon just by taking dog run apart and putting the panels bolted to the wall covering doors/windows, got a bit of veg growing in garden, lurchers and snares for hunting, put a few traps down for zombies using a goat in a pen as bait and I could borrow a shotgun in double quick time as well as a jcb for digging pitts to trap zombies, think even after secureing the house itself id be sleeping in the loft at night

[scothunter 12,609]

All very well securing your house, but how would you survive long term? Food, water etc: we'd be like the prey we hunted, constantly alert and looking for danger everywhere we went: I don't think that most modern civilised societies would stand the strain of living like that. People aren't used to being as wary as a fox wherever they go. The 'living' population would be down to about 1% in very little time at all, and I think that any group that did survive would have to remain fairly small or its needs would overwhelm the numbers of people very quickly.

 

I love post-apocalyptic fiction: can't get enough of it. How would we really behave, and which would the long term survivors be: the ones with the 'kill a stranger before they kill you' attitude? Or the ones that are trying to recreate a type of society, with all the rules needed by larger societies? One thing's for sure: even in a small group there would be no room for anti-social behaviour, nor for go-it-alone types.

Fill an artic with everything I need, and head for the highlands. Plenty water? Food. Just set up a secure camp, on one of those islands in the middle of a loch. Sorted !

 

Lol you got me thinking about it now!

Its great fun to think about how you'd survive a zombie apocalypse, ideally you'd hole up in a place with a high wall around at least 2 acres, couple of goats to provide milk, few hens and a polytunnel and plenty of veg, fuel ie: turf/timber

Hunting dogs and snares, about 4/5 able bodied people 3to protect compound, 2 to go out hunting/scavenging resourses, several guns with a lot of ammo for hourdes and human raiders, swords, machetes etc, garden tools, vehicle and access to fuel. Walkie talkies etc

Don't know if you're much a reader Penny but if so, have you tried Stephen King's The Stand? It's his older work - before he really went bonkers and trippy on the drugs - about the world after a virus wipes out 99% of the population. It's a proper good read.
