looking forward to tonight's episode.

 

Tyreese, Lizzie and Mika are also alive, as is baby Judith. They are also in the woods, but make it out to the railway tracks only to be reunited with Carol who Rick had previously told to stay away.

 

I had a feeling that pairing was going to happen.

SGT ABRAHAM FORD

Thats what I'm wondering.

 

 

I sense no (never read comics up to this point) he will try and corrupt Glen I feel

 

That's what I feel too. He said he was building up an army, so it appears he has a mission.

Anyone else but me wondering how everyone turned into walkers on the bus?

I was thinking about that when I saw it, best I can come up with is someone who got on the bus was bit and kept it quiet, turned and mayhem ensued.

Either that or they ran into a herd that overtook the bus.

the bus being overtaken seems more likely than someone hiding a bloody bite on a bus full of people

...Or somebody was shot and killed as the bus left the prison.

 

 

I think someone expired on the bus. It' was still sealed up tight when it was found. Either that or multiple people were hit and died.

With the amount of bullet holes on that bus, someone was surely shot. And when they died they turned, remember you don't have to have a bite to turn, everyone is infected.

 

Yeah and then that one person probably feasted big time

Just lazy writing to trim down the group size. 

 

There is no plausible scenario in which no one is able to get to either the front or back door of that bus.  Unless we're to assume that walkers formed at either end and worked their way to the middle.  Not to mention that there did not appear to be any kind of "feasting" on the bus.  All the bodies were fully intact and the bus was not a mess of gore.

 

Too many lame artificially inflated tension moments cropping in.  For example, the scene in the forest with Beth being 'surprised' by a walker sneaking up on her through the brush.  Really?  Not too mention hunter-tracker extraordinaire Darryl being caught out as well.  I'll grant some level of shellshock and tiredness, but that's only more likely to have them on edge and ready than slack.

 

Really hoping this season improves.

 

Also, it would have been ridiculously simple to have the bus be flipped and on the side of the road.  Then everyone inside could have died as a result of the impact, or was trapped when the others turned. 

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • If I ever get that issue I will let you know how I fix it
    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.
