| Dec 2, 2011 at 20:58 | comment | added | Ian Pugsley | About sight vs. smell - what about Daryl in the river? There's no real way to know if it's a decision vs. senses, and I'm not willing to buy "partially decomposed corpses have perfect senses." Leaving the car situation aside (despite the noises they made), my only point is that I didn't perceive the walker in the store as ambushing - it could have been wandering down that aisle, smelled Maggie, shambled over, and grabbed her. What indication was there that it was specifically waiting for her? | |

| Dec 2, 2011 at 19:43 | comment | added | Beofett | As for feeling heat or hearing people breathing under a car, normal uninfected humans couldn't do that, so why would Walkers be able to? | |
| Dec 2, 2011 at 19:34 | comment | added | Ian Pugsley | I'd call zombies looking directly at them but ignoring them because they can't distinguish their scent an argument for bad senses. And there's still the ability to feel their heat as they walk right by them under cars (and there's no way they held their breath that entire time, and Carol even screamed IIRC). As far as the leg grab goes, it depends entirely on your perspective as to whether it's senses or ambush. | |
| Dec 2, 2011 at 18:57 | comment | added | Ian Pugsley | In both the show and first graphic novel, there's the instance of Rick and Glenn covering themselves in guts to avoid detection. Later in the comic, there's a specific instance of a walker laying around quietly in the dark only to grab someone's leg as they pass by. There's also the scene in the show where the survivors hide under cars to avoid the walkers - pretty flimsy, if they've got good senses. | |
| Dec 2, 2011 at 18:04 | comment | added | Ian Pugsley | I don't know how much a lack of obvious missing senses implies - poor zombie senses are very routine in the Walking Dead universe, regardless of explicit display. I made the assumption it wasn't an ambush as much as sense-based - ambush behavior seems more advanced than the walkers are usually capable of. | |
