I always wanted a .357 revolver for when we went fishing and camping on long hikes in WA.  Matched with a lever action.  Well, I got the pistol part.  Now the lever. 

Eff that.  Rick was blown up, eaten up, or both. . .  >:( Haha.  He'll probably make a return with that group with the three rings. . .  ;D

I wish Rick was killed off before Glenn and Hershel. . .

The finale where he was blown up showed him in a chopper with Jadis.  So, ..... yeah.

Rick became a good barometer of how crazy or "normal" the story was headed.  I often wonder how different things might have turned out without Rick in charge.  That's a month-long "what if" rabbit hole at least!

I think Rick was constantly used as a protagonist inside the group to springboard to the next phase of storyline.  You weren't supposed to like him, just follow why things unfolded because of him.  There were lots of plot lines I don't think could have been nearly as big if Rick wasn't involved.

Jadis was creepy. . .  :shake:

Yeah, i saw that episode.  I get Rick's part in the storyline.  His character was such a bad actor and got annoying after the story went beyond the comic book.  Not that I followed the comic book series. He had a very "strange" time for a while there, where he was a pacifist or something like that.  He got super irritating with his whining about "Koral". . .  ::)  :rofl:

Jadis was not just creepy, but she was also playing a role within the show while hiding her true role.  After her clan was murdered by the Saviors, she suddenly stopped talking like a poorly translated Chinese fortune cookie!   :rofl:

Jadis was pretty hot when she didn't have to have the Queen of the Garbage People haircut.  :love:

My daughter had the best answer I heard yet.

She said use the .357, 9mm/38 spcl and rifle rounds early in the apocalypse while the skulls are still fresh.
As the apocalypse wears on go to the .22 because the skulls will get softer.
Stick to long rifles though until vulnerability is confirmed.
Then double tap with pistolas.  :thumbsup:

SNIP
Finally watched those videos.  That's quite good for a f/a 22!  Many even reliable s/a 22s choke on even decent ammo, including the venerable 10/22.  He was shooting pretty good ammo though.  That plate rack and the multiple hits on that further steel was pretty good.   ;D

Fact check, a dead/zombie person did not vote.  Their ID was stolen and a live person voted under their name....

If I’ve been given the green light to shoot dead people in the head, I want a BIG FUCKING SLUG cuz I want to see brains and blood fly when I hit them.

While a 22 might do the trick, it doesn’t have the power to splatter brains all over the place.

Hey ‘Hound,  it looks like you’re going to get a chance to test your theory...

Denmark to dig up thousands of mink after carcasses emerge from graves
Denmark plans to dig up thousands of dead mink culled to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, after the animals started to rise out of their mass graves.

Not a great "test" --

Human Z's vs. Zinks (Z minks).  A .22 is probably overkill for a varmint-size Z.
