The Glass Floor

That was it for me. I had to stop watching. The crows that looked like Scooby-Doo cartoon bats was bad enough. Then the spiders. But the floor did it for me.

Does any writer on this show have an ounce of education, or even common sense? It was a glass floor with steel support. Glass floors like that, in real life, are probably 3 inches thick. Maybe more. (A little less in a home). You could easily park a car on it with no problem, and a lot more. They were glass tiles in steel support, not one giant sheet of unsupported glass. The crack, even though it would never happen, would not be able to travel from one tile to another in any reality. They acted like they were walking across a frozen pond during the Spring thaw. This amount of "stupid" just isn't tolerable all in one sitting.

The survivors are not real smart. They didn't consider the wagon had been taking up the stairs at some point. In that whole museum they couldn't find anything to line a path over the glass to displace the weight of the wheels? They must have had rubber mats or wood planks to move items over the glass to keep it from being scratching up or cracked.

yeah ... I knew from the start of that scene what was going to happen ... they pull these gratuitous scenes to make up tense and nervous that we are going to love a favorite character.

The other thing was that if there was any doubt that the floor would not hold up, at the very least do not have any people walking on it, and if you really want to be careful ... go down and find a way to clear all the walkers from the room below.

This show is known for that kind of stupid though.

You're right, but it's really getting worse. Just look at when the blacksmith's son was killed. There were only a handful of walkers, but everyone had to run away. Yet when he was attacked, all of a sudden they were able to take them all out in 30 seconds. It's just become a joke.

yeah, they do not make the threat from the walkers very consistent. usually they have someone walking around in silence, and then shift the camera to a walker just out of the frame ... as if they would not make any noise, or have any smell. in most scenes when someone living walks by the first thing the walkers do it so start snarling and get up ... it seems like no walker could really get close to someone without them knowing it.
