Interesting article with some points we have all discussed in some fashion before (Dale, Carl, armory inventory etc) Agreat point about spare magazines IMO aka "Hershel's infinite ammo cheat" "...If you’re like me, you usually spend most of each episode verbally berating the characters for their idiocy, and cast judgement on the writers for their inconsistent character development. Those of us who’ve spent any time in the military are particularly prone to conniptions about the blatant buffoonery of our heroes. I’ve spent nearly every season yelling at the television. “How about 360 degrees of security, jackasses?”
The blunders started early in the show, and have continued all the way along. In the first season, their camp was overrun by the ravenous undead because security sucked..." link

it's a TV show based on a comic book. what does he expect? I worked in banking for over 15 years and laugh at the silly stuff I see on TV and movies about bank robberies. It's not that serious.

I'm more concerned when they get basic medical knowledge wrong.

I'm more concerned when they get basic medical knowledge wrong. Have they ever had medicine right? Other than Lori's dying in the context of her much more realistic than Maggie's abruption and hack job section? (Lori did have an abruption, right?)

They couldn't treat an abscess right so I'm going to say no.

I so enjoyed this article. Even the little that I know about guns and survival? I know more than they do. Just common sense would tell you not to ring the dinner bell and wait on walkers to munch on you. Apparently the virus makes you stupid as well. Last year's walker drive to the end of the earth was a case in point. Even if you could get the walkers to stay in line and not wander off (Ever had a class of five year olds?) why would twenty miles out guarantee they wouldn't work their way back. Like all five year old they are so easily distracted (a stray horn, a gun shot, a scream ect.)

Other than Lori's dying in the context of her much more realistic than Maggie's abruption and hack job section? (Lori did have an abruption, right?) Lori said she had the same problem with delivering Carl and had to have the C-Section. IIRC, Judith was in the breech position as well. That is why Maggie told Lori not to push (I think). I don't recall that Lori ever named the condition. Maybe Hershel did. Hershel was planning to take the baby early. After his accident, Carol learned to do the C-Section on that walker so she could take care of Lori. In any case, Placental Abruption is a tearing away of the placenta from the uterine walls - bleeding and painful. The doc at Hilltop said Maggie's tear was very slight. My DIL's sister developed the other animal- Placenta Previa - early in her last pregnancy - when the placenta implants itself in such a way as to block the cervix. It wasn't painful but she had a C Section a month early.

Rosie, I thought I remembered Lori's having sudden pain and bleeding, which is the reason I thought she suffered an abruption. I could have remembered incorrectly because it has been a few years since I watched that episode. I think she might have had cephalopelvic disproportion as the reason for her prior section? At least that's my vague recollection. As for Maggie's minor "abruption", which would be unusual (or even impossible, depending on the definition of abruption used) so early in pregnancy to begin with, her symptoms and appearance for a minor separation were rather... Dramatic... In their severity. That degree of pain, the pallor, etc would typically be in keeping with a more severe abruption. Gimple presents medicine poorly, and this is another example of that.
