THE WALKING DEAD

Fishing is very inefficient to feed a large number of people also. Some of the best fisherman in the world sometimes fish all day to catch nothing or only a few fish at times. And fishing for smaller fish like bluegill or something, it would take a LOT of fish to feed a large group.
I agree but some food beats no food every time in my book.
They are not doing this out of desperation. This is like a religion for them. Hence, the memorial with the candles and the names on the floor. Plus, that one guy's statement about "because when we join with them we become stronger" or something like that.
They were cannibals prior to the apocalypse... or at least someone in this group was.0 -

I take it you'd be one of the cannibals once all other food sources had been exhausted then?0 -

Desperately wanting to throw some things in here from the comics, but that probably counts as cheating. Also, never a 100% chance they'll be faithful to them.0 -

Maybe, or you come back with enough fish to feed 2 people and 2 people kill you and take it.0 -

Yea, please don't. Some of us haven't read the comics and don't want to know what happens in them. Not that it stops other people from doing it all the time.0 -

Soylent red is zombie!!!0 -
Understand that the land animals are getting zombie-decimated, but not the fish. The zombies dislike water...sooooo
Fishing with electricity is much easier...just crank up an old phone and dip net the stunned fish. Large quantities in a short time. Easy. Same for fishing with explosives...although the noise would attract the zombies. (both methods are illegal in this world)
Gill nets (also illegal in this world) and trot lines (legal) are very efficient ways to catch large quantities of fish with little effort or time.
Then there is noodling (legal)...which I would only do, personally, if starving and there was no other way because it scares the crap out of me. Would get big fish each catch that could feed a large group of people.
They so need an outdoors-man to help write this script.0 -

Well, as I have no idea what you are talking about, I imagine very few others do, and therefore, the writers are banking on the likelihood that the characters would also be clueless of such things.0 -
If it turns out to be the hunters...they werent cannibals before. They turned cannibal out of desperation or at least the hunters did in the comics...0

P'shaw. Daryl would have known about noodling. And dial-a-fish. For sure. But I agree with the post indicating the human consumption is a ritualistic behavior based on the memorial room. Good catch there.0 -

I don't know why they do it and I don't care...
All I know is they GON' DIE! :laugh:0 -
Fish or no fish, if there were a choice between eating ANYTHING (they had crops growing, yo) and eating people, I'd choose the ANYTHING ELSE.
That was clearly a lifestyle choice not born of absolute necessity. It's something I expected to be touched upon in the series at some point, though. Here's my question: If everyone is infected with the zombie virus and it activates postmortem, wouldn't eating postmortem human flesh accelerate or potentially cause the virus to mutate?
Maybe they don't kill them before they eat them?0 -

That would be horrifically awesome.
Just hacking off random parts, but keeping the person alive.0 -

Thinking it's implied that they cut the limbs off one at a time and use what's there before actually "killing them".. so legs and arms then torso then decapitate or something. UGH. don't even like thinking about it

Well I guess I would just die in the zombie apocalypse. But seriously, not everyone has experience with fishing so it's foolish to assume that most would.0 -

They could save the left-over, re-animated head to dunk in the water to catch the fish0 -

There is a show on TV that all the do is noodling. Also, a trot line can be found on about any outdoors TV show, movie, etc. You don't have to be a fisherman to watch TV.0 -
Cannot wait for fall! I hate how they take such a long hiatus 0

Ringleader, Archer, Samurai...Kid
Loved it0 -
so say they are cannibals... if Carol and Tyrese walk in with Judith... they save and raise the baby or not? (Of course I have a feeling Carol won't just walk in there like everyone else has)0

Yeah I'm pretty sure Carol and Tyreese will be a bit more leery. I'm sure they want to know whether or not their friends made it. Maybe they'll have seen Gareth command Rick, Daryl, Michonne and Carl into the train car and know that terminus is not a good place and then plan a way to get them out? Maybe Carol will sacrifice herself (creating a distraction) so Tyreese (with Judith and weapons) can sneak in and get the rest of Rick & Co. out of the train car... I really don't want Carol to die though, but she seems like the type that would want to sacrifice herself to "atone" for her "sins"...0 -

I said this in a group thread, but I really don't think they are about eating children. I think that was why they really tried to separate Carl from the group. They were real hesitant to send him into the container.0 -
im gonna lighten this up....last night on talking dead someone asked what celebrity would you like to see play themself on the show...rick(andrew lincoln) said william shatner....mine would be sheldon from big bang.....who do yall think??0

I would not mind seeing Al Pacino go crazy on some zombies...0 -
Not at all because I'm a huge Andrew Lincoln fan or anything, but I would have said Shatner too... or Patrick Stewart (cause I'm a huge Star Trek fan also). How much fun would it be to have Patrick Stewart show up in Terminus to give Mary (aka Denise Crosby/Tasha Yar) a hard time? :drinker:0
