I get annoyed when someone is playing piano in one camera shot, not wearing gloves. Then in the next camera shot he stands up from the piano he was JUST playing and suddenly has gloves on.

Inconsistencies piss me off. Tattoos, bruises, wounds that change sides, pieces of clothing added or missing, clocks that don't follow the time line, etc.

But when producers cut corners to make the show go somewhere, I don't complain. It's like si-fi movies coming up with some brand new technology. I don't question the validity or source, I only expect that new element to bring something interesting to watch.

I'm surprised you say that because for me it's the complete opposite. Errors like that don't change the content of the show. If I even notice them, the worst I might do is chuckle about it. They are "TV stuff" not "story stuff". The story is the important part.

Example: In Star Wars, the stormtroopers have to miss every time they shoot at a main character because that's what is convenient for the story, and that's lame. Walking Dead is generally above that. Sometimes a random zombie does bite a main character, which is more realistic. Therefore, the audience learns to have it in their heads that bad stuff could happen, which makes the show more dramatic.

On Talking Dead, they made the point that the group "did everything right" on their run to the store yet still ran into trouble. That's good because we want something to happen to make the show fun to watch. However, the ability to create realistic drama vs. having to cut corners (as you put it) is one of the things that makes a scene better.

About the zombies on the roof one has to assume they were in the helicopter when it crashed
and for it to remain on the roof it had to be very solid + stable. So they had to be walking around that roof for years.

The zombies didnt fall though one hole , they fell through multiple weak spots. Whats amazing is that in their years of wandering a failing roof
they never walked over any weak spots and fell though only when the group was surprised.

Good thing the cameras were there to catch it.......

Also half the zombies where smashed falling down but then some members where suddenly surround by 6 zombies all within 4 feet - wtf were they doing be4 they noticed they were in danger - listening to itunes?

Also why the heck would Rick follow that girl back to her Camp I mean he was all alone/ Look at the fence scene - suposeadly there 1000s of zombies outside camp and he wants to go for a walk with a distured woman? - did he think he was going to get some action - from that thing?
He shoulda just told her to go get her Husband and come back.

Also it seems like the black guy always gets it - or is disturbed. Its funny how the future is full of racist stereotypes, wheeeeeeew.

Also i would love to see Chris Hardwick join the group in the series and get eaten in like 5 minutes.

That would be a cool episode.

Like someone else already pointed out for you if you had bothered to read, the roof gave way due to water damage not suddenly going weak for no reason. Go re-watch the scene mang.

No one said it suddenly went weak for no reason. He said the zombies, which had been wandering around on the weak, water-damaged roof for awhile, suddenly stepped on the weak spots for no reason.

Except they weren't wandering around on the weak water damaged section of the roof for a while, if you remember in a previous season they established that they pretty much remain stationary when there's no outside stimuli, and they suddenly went towards the helicopter (the weak spot) because of the stimuli (noise)

2 pages focused on a trivial detail (helicopter scene).

there are more important things to talk about imho, like a potential jump to airborne transmission? (gg)

So seems as though the water supply was somehow contaminated with bacteria or virus which killed the pig and eventually that nerdy looking guy. Is this possibly how the group will be forced from the jail? Also why all the scrutiny over the roof collapsing? They showed a water leakage and when the zombies heard the noise of the shelf falling they walked towards it, overtop of the weakened structure of the roof?

BTW would anyone else be grabbing a bunch of that booze? If its the zombie apocalypse I would be wanting something to drink!!

Getting drunk is one of the last things I would be wanting to do at a time like that.
I imagine you wouldn't last too long.

wow that episode was lame as hell.....
