They're only dangerous in large number and even then, you can walk right past them if your cover yourself in their blood and guts.
can they be killed the normal standard ways?

I haven't seen Falling Skies but I'm assuming it's similar to V..?
The biggest problem that everyone keeps ignoring with zombies is the amount of decay & disease that would be prevalent everywhere...namely airborne & in the water supply.
Cover yourself in zombie guts to avoid detection?
Yeah that sounds bloody healthy.
It's never about "just avoiding the mindless zombies."
So yeah I'd take my chances with the Falling Skies scenario.

Some of them also get to the point that they can't move because they haven't eaten for so long.
They had different names for the zombies in the comics.
Like Lurkers, Roamers, Crawlers and Sitters.
The Sitters (I'm just guessing the name) were zombies that were heavily effected by the cold and lack of stimulation.
They don't really exist in the show. The worst were the Crawlers. Zombies without legs. They would bite you on the ankle form underneath a table or bench infecting the victim.

I mean chances are you're gonna have a scratch or two on yer body somewhere...so wouldn't rubbing yourself in zombie guts transmit the virus into your system as well?
Originally posted by Esau CairnI got the impression from the show that it had to be a full on bite..or at least a pretty bad flesh wound.

Walking Dead Universe is much easier to Survive in then Falling Skies imo.
