still iso this. Anyone?

comparing rick's plan to other ideas is kinda hard when we don't even know what his method of disposal was....

Not sure, i think the plan was more to lead them away from Alexandria, giving them ample opportunities to get attracted to other things than their little community. Never did they mention any way of actually stopping that bunch of restless dead

I feel like the fact you just stated isn't being given enough attention in this thread. By cleaning out the quarry completely, aren't they screwing themselves out of an important defense mechanism?

No because the quarry was already failing. After the Walker problem is sorted and they have the time to spare maybe they will decide to rebuild it.

There was nothing to do to reinforce it at the time, though it would be a good idea to fix it up later. They'd have to reinforce the front and back. We only saw the front part with the truck that fell, I have no idea how open the back end of the quarry is.

Reinforcing it wouldn't necessarily be the only approach. Two things that crossed my mind:

1) Kill a few at a time, from a distance. Remember the gravel hill it showed the new walkers falling down? Clearly walkers aren't able to climb that hill. So they could set up at the top of the hill and start dwindling the herd. It could be with fire or maybe a spear-like contraption. There would be no hurry. They could be safe and energy conscious. The goal would be to eventually kill 50-70% of them. Enough that the herd wouldn't be bursting at the seams but could still keep attracting more. This would make reinforcement easier later.

2) Let out some but not all at once. Set up two sources of loud noise, one at the aforementioned hill they can't climb and the other at the exit they were going to use. The portion of the herd on the hill's side would be more attracted to the loud noise there than they would be to following the ones from the other half. After u get a decent amount get out, drive a tractor into the gap. Once that's in, there will be nothing pulling the herd to that exit anymore and "Hillside Siren" would be the biggest draw, thereby keeping about half of the herd in.

I mean do you think the zombies skipped or hopscotched into the pit they were stuck in? No, they fell in. Are most of them dead or immobile? Nope.

They actually showed how they got in, and it wasn't falling in, they got in because one side of that pit is like a sloped sand , and that was the direction they were all being drawn from. It wouldn't make any sense if in one scene they were dying by smashing their own brains by walking into a wall, but somehow they were able to survive a 100+ foot all straight down just because they were "zombies".

But i can't blame Rick for thinking his stupid plan would work because he's still a little crazy, not full blown hallucinating crazy - just a little tv delusional and the pressure has gotten to him.

You haven't really given better plans
Like how you would actually walk them off the edge since they would need something to be attracted to
And what to do with the rest of the zombies that don't die from the fall.

You're asking how you can lead them over a cliff , when you totally believe you can lead them 20 km down a small road?

And what makes you think they could survive a 100+ foot fall when they can't even survive walking into a wall or a solid hit to the head with a bat, wow - i think the zombies might be able to outsmart you.

If the zombie is still alive after a 100 foot fall, his body is going to be complete mush, and not much of a threat.
