Not all zombies are created equal; see: 28 Days Later
I am not bothered by how stupid the zombies in TWD are, they’ve never made them out to be anything but. The writing feels lazy though. I mean you can’t spend half a season fighting for your city and preaching doom and running all around risking everyone’s lives, trying to draw the zombies away, only to have it culminate in 20 minutes of “oh hey I guess they’re not so bad, look at us killing all of them!” They introduce characters just to kill them off, half the deaths are done for the shock factor “let’s kill a kid gruesomely!” or simply to trick the audience (Glenn and the dumpster) – which doesn’t work when they’ve built up a routine of trotting the dead characters out on talking dead after they die!!! I’m partially confused by the science behind these zombies, though. They bite, you turn into a zombie, but if you get their blood on you/in your wounds, you’re fine? But if you eat a zombie, you’re not fine? But if you eat a dead person you’re fine? But all dead people turn into zombies? Who fuckin’ knows?!
Yes, the biggest drama comes from the people who are alive, but you can’t spend 6 episodes making the drama about the zombies, only for it to not really have been an issue, and so far the only new baddies we’ve this season were comically blown up by a rocket launcher!
