So I guess you didn't read the comic then. And no I'm not whipped just not a douche.
So you think 1 feeble old lady and 2 emotional wrecks should just pick up a gun and waste valuable ammo? Christ. They wasted enough already during that finale. That's why Andrea and Herschel stayed behind. To fight the onslaught, protect the women, find the kid and drag Herschel's stubborn ass out of there. But the zombies were coming from all corners.
I've already said multiple times 3 of the women are feeble/emotional wrecks. And your answer is to give em a gun. Do they suck? yes. Can they fight? no.
If these "useless" women anger you so much why watch it? I'll say it again if all the women on this show were Ripley then it would be unrealistic and bad writing. But you would probably enjoy it.
^ Also, there was no need to go all-in during that last episode. Rick and dick were trapped in the barn. Someone could drove a car away and use gunshots sounds to lead them away.
Apparently one gunshot drove them all here, and the noise of a helicopter is able to distract already feeding zombies (which is bs), no reason why that plan wouldn't have worked.

The team didn't know where Shane Rick and Carl were. Plus Hershel wanted to defend the farm. If everybody just sat quiet whilst someone drove and shot guns to draw the horde away that wouldn't have changed the fact that Rick and Carl were still in the barn fighting for their lives. The zombies weren't going to fall for a decoy when they knew the duo were in there.

How the phuck can't they get away from walkers?Even if you speedwalk you'd outpace them.
no reason a reasonably fit person can't just juke the shit out of a horde of zombies. I'd go Steve Francis circa '05 and break dem ankles, real talk.
Since we're pointing out stupid shit... how come they haven't once used the blood and guts trick that worked in Atlanta? is Michonne the only smart person in this story?

Yes they did... they knew Rick was in the barn, just didn't know the other guy was Carl and not Shane.

Why not? Zombies LEFT a body they were FEEDING ON to follow some noise. Yup feeding is their core instinct, yet random noises can distract them, bye bye logic. It's like saying a drug addict drowning in a pool of dope will be distracted by the possibility of there being some more dope elsewhere.

I reckon their core instinct is to spread the disease. When Shane shot Otis he was still alive as the zombies slowly ate him to death. So Shane was able to create distance.
But in the helicopter scene the zombies were eating a dead animal when they saw evidence of a living being, they instantly stopped and proceeded to move in the general direction of their new prey.
Even though food was available they just want to infect. Zombies don't need to eat. They're dead. It's just a primal instinct activated in the brain that allows the virus to spread more efficiently perhaps. I don't believe the zombies would've left the barn knowing rick and Carl were in there.

And they were coming from all corners. Not just from the field but from the trees behind the house.
They are slow as shit.

What?
The zombies in the recent eps showed decent speed, especially in that episode when Shane and Otis looked for medical supplies and the opisode when Shane and Rick went to dump that kid somewhere safe.
They move potentially move as fast as a normal man with really sore leg. Not running, but fast enough to catch up with a man speed walking backwards.
They differ in episodes. But they are certainly faster than your average Romero zombie.

I could outpace any zombie in fiction beside runners with speed walking.
I could do the same. But you have to eventually put the swarm down. Not only their bites but their scratches infect now too. Scratches made through hands that have clawed through tough sufaces for long periods of time until there is no flesh on the finger tips left. Just sharp boney fingers full of virus.
Michonne has a katana....a weapon that blunts or breaks quickly whilst fighting swarms. I prefer a Machete. It takes alot of skill to use a katana and just cleave off heads. And in swarm scenarios I would prefer a machete and silenced handgun.
Though the way she has jawless/armless walkers chained to her is pure genius. The smell repels the other zombies, it has been proven. Not a hard solution to process. Will help you in the wilderness but wont help you in the long run against aggresive humans. Which is the reason why Michonne joined Rick's survivor group in the comics........that and she was losing her mind due to the infections more exotic influences.

Always wondered why no one really uses silenced weapons. I also wondered why cant they have a truck/car and blast the stereo to distract the zombies from a certain location. Shit, have said stereo at the bottom of a cliff. The stupid zombies will surely follow.
