The Zombie Herd too Continent
Those zombie arrived a little two fast Macon is like 165 miles from Savannah and the average walk for a human is like 3 to 4 mph lots of math but that means if you were walking it would take about 55 or 41 hours but since they weren't exactly in Macon it may be a little less than that those zombies were just plot convenient anyone else think so?

Better hope that boat works.
you know whats funny i just read that post you said about making a poll then i was like to late
Yeah but it would only be walkers that are really close to the tracks. Its not a dense population in between. It didn't even attract the horde of walkers that were in Savannah.
Actually, I made this reply first.
That kind of depends on how many walkers are around... it's 165 miles from the train wreck to savannah, right?
That's a fairly long distance.... and trains aren't exactly quiet.
Not to mention how many small towns did that rail go through on the way to savannah?
Yet it didn't attract the huge population of walkers in Savannah
They did not enter Savannah for another 12 hours after they stopped the train, mostly likely because they didn't feel comfortable going into the city during the dead of night. Gary Whitta mentions this in the stream and Kenny also states it's been 12 hours depending on how you speak in the opening minutes of the episode.
They raid Crawford at night and by sunset, Vernon can see the herd, still far away but still moving. That is almost 24 hours there from the start of the episode, which is 12 hours since the last one, so figure 36 hours overall since they stopped the train. When Lee goes to sleep and wakes up, it's either a new day or the twilight hours of the same day and the herd does not appear until Lee and whoever else enters Vernon's base.
Overall, it's almost two days or more since they stopped the train so the herd would have had plenty of time to get there. Also, it could not necessarily be the same herd; Lee and his group had a huge traveling distance from the train station to Savannah still so this herd may be all the zombies between those intervening points with the rest catching up as Episode 5 continues so thousands upon thousands keep entering the city. Two days seems like a reasonable time period though for the herd to catch up to the group in Savannah.
Video games always require leaps of faith here and there for a fantastical story to come through. As long as they give a reasonable explanation in this fictional world I'm fine and the herd walking for two days to get to Savannah seems fine to me. Would it happen in the real world? Zombies do not exist in the first place, so lets try to remember that reality should not apply too much here.
That doesn't make since the train would be surrounded by walkers if every walker in earshot follows the train. There are a lot walkers in Savannah
Then why did Vernon see it.
Add a few miles in each direction of the train/tracks too.
With no civilization noise anymore to bleed out the sounds.... depending on the terrain that train might make a huge amount of noise.... and it may carry far.
Again, it was almost 36 hours since they stopped the train by that point in the story and they were at a high enough position to see for miles outside the city. He saw the herd that followed the train were approaching the city, but it was still far enough from the city for him to get his people together and get out.
Because walkers don't "stop" for anything but another distraction......
Savannah is screwed.
They weren't that high and they were well into the city.
Vernon saw a herd coming from the direction of the rail yard, not the train itself.
Edit: The spelling is killing me, it's "convenient".
Well, apparently they were because he saw them; the bell towers are shown to be taller than most buildings in the city and would pave a good view as well. I won't deny it requires a leap of faith, but its plausible enough for me considering that this is a video game.
i was but im pretty sure at the end of dawn of the dead they ended up on an island an the the young boy was bit and turned into a zombie.
No they were chased by the zombies on an island Dead island
I doubt it's the same herd as at the station they stopped at, but all the walkers along tge way instead that are closer to savannah. It's possible it could be the same hers though die to it being 2 days later.
hahahaha:D
