What was THAT at the end? It was a meh Finale. Last week was better imo.

Yeah i felt the same. Im really hating on lori too. She had the affair and caused the riff between rick and shane. I dont think the group should be hating on rick either.

Season 3 should be interesting. Just sucks i have to wait over 6 months too see it.

the writers were just saying on talking dead that lori isn't really ****ed at rick but more ****ed because she put things in motion and caused shanes death

I am also curious about the helicopter at the beginning, heck If I was in this a helicopter would be necessary

also anyone else think finding a 2 way radio would be a something they should have done ages ago for those split up moments

I like that the show deviates from the comic because stuff happens when you least expect it. Like Dale's death. I was expecting him to bite it in Season 3/4. I also like that they developed Shane a bit more before they killed him off.

Ill have to check out the comics again. I stopped because I didn't want the deviations to ruin things for me

For me, reading the comics first made the show even more enjoyable. When Andrea was saved, and they showed who it was, I hit the roof. I didn't see it coming and, "it," is one of my favorite characters from the comic. If you think Daryl is a bada**, wait until you see this new character.

And what Rick was told at the CDC, I called that.

I was thinking the same about the radio situation while watching this episode. I'm also surprised that they didn't come up with some sort of escape plan in case of a herd attack. But as they said, they were stupid for assuming that they were safe to being with.

Yes, noise attracts them, but my point is the group has been in the woods for hours and didn't see a single one.. Then Carl shoots his gun and hundreds come out from no where. I would at least think it'd take them a while longer to limp their way. Not a big deal, just slightly unbelievable.

On a side note I was thinking that Shane was communicating with the horde in the woods as he was turning and we see those flashes of zombies. I guessed that would be why the horde was moving in that direction. However, it does not explain why they didn't move in that direction when Shane discharged his gun fighting with Rick.

It was nice that they finally revealed what was said to Rick from the guy in the CDC before it blew up. Now to answer where that mysterious helicopter is from? Ugh can't wait for next season - which is too long away.

If i remember correctly it is already revealed in comic.

They probably did but I never got into the comics of this so this is all new to me! :rolleyes:

it was more toward the thread than your post, i just quoted it so other members will know what i am talking about. If you don't read comics its cool, not everybody likes reading.

During the Talking Dead, Glen Mazzara said that Lori is hating herself. It isn't necessarily Rick she's mad at, but herself. She just happens to be taking it out on Rick right now.

It thought it was a great finale until the ending though. Everyone is all of the sudden mad at Rick because he withheld this small bit of information about everyone being infected? How does that change anything really? Do they feel any different now than they did before they knew that? Are they in the exact same situation they were before? Seriously, the way they write these characters would make me want to kill them all because they're all stupid. I couldn't stand how Shane went about things, but I think even he would have kept that to himself because it wouldn't have helped a thing to tell them.

The irony of the finale is Rick has sort of taken on a bit of Shane's no beating around the bush attitude.

It makes a HUGE difference.

Let's say you and I find a nice, safe spot to hole up. Before, it would have been fine if you suddenly had a heart attack in the middle of the night. I would have woken up, found your un-bitten corpse and threw you out. But NOW, I have to worry about it. You have a heart attack while I'm asleep and I become instant zombie food.

Yea, HUGE difference.

Seeing Rick confess to Lori what he did to Shane; I kind of saw Rick take on some of Shane's mannerisms...that crazy stare...certain speech patterns. I thought that scene was great!!

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      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 hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
