There are over 12 billion (BILLION) bullets produced a year in the U.S. alone. You have arsenals like police stations, military bases, and add personal homes where a vast majority owns a firearm or 10, then there is plenty of ammunition to go around. A shield wouldn't be necessary since the zombies move like 90 year old men with a severe case of arthritis. Now if they moved like they did in World War Z, then yes, shields would be necessary, along with great running shoes.

Scavenging and food production would be major tasks, not sitting around contemplating the meaning of life or making it look like life was returning to normal.

With over 95 - 98% of the world population gone, food would be in abundance. All the canned foods with the same shelf life as depleted uranium, and other goods they can grow on their own. I think food would be the least of their concerns unless they run out in their immediate area. They should be holed up near a major metropolitan area rather than out in the styx. In order to have hope, you would have to live your life as if things were eventually going to go back to "normal". That's coping 101.

To top it all was the hot shower scene. This was an insult to our intelligence, my 14-year-old said, "Where did they get the water and heat it?". There was no point to that scene, we know they love each other.
|
They have gas (to run generators). They have a vast supply of water. And they have fire. Put them all together and you have hot water. But I agree on all the cheesy love scenes. Is that supposed to make us care more about the characters? I liked Michonne better when she was the bad ass black Samurai, and not sucking Rick's cock while trying to play Suzy Homemaker.

They would be living in an environment without fuel, ammunition, where groups like the Saviours would be a bigger menace than Zombies and every bit of food had to be grown or raised. I'm assuming they have lived in this world for 6 years.
|
Quite the opposite. With the majority of the population wiped out, fuel, ammo, and food would be abundant. It's not like gasoline rots after a couple months.

Also, why does the sun always shine? Very rarely does it ever rain, never seen snow or any other weather. They're obviously on the East Coast now. Is the weather always that kind?
|
Good question. No argument here.

As for continually creeping up on people in forests. Try a paintball game in the woods and see how alert you become.

Again, I agree. But any type of zombie you can walk away from (not run or jog, but walk), then it's not really much of a threat. The thing I don't understand is why they're not all wearing zombie gut suits. They only wear them when they need to get out of a pinch. If it were me, I would be sporting zombie guts like a fitted Armani suit! Intestine headband and all.
