who is Michael Madsen?

 

Yes, on Talking Dead, Dave Erickson said they're definitely going to get on the boat, though they will have some trouble getting to it.

I'm pretty excited about it. I don't know why, but I never expected the show to take that turn. It makes perfect sense, though, being on the ocean and all.

 

They'll set sail on a three-hour tour, but become shipwrecked on a deserted isle. Travis will make some stupid mistakes, and Tobias will swat him with his cap. Daniel will make a telephone out of coconut shells and string.

 

Yea looks like it at some point. I was a apprentice marine mechanic a lifetime ago and the fuel , maintenance required for these yachts are through the roof. Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. Lot of owners I've known over the years don't even know how to pilot one and usually hire a skipper .

 

Yeah looks like it would make a good base that they could use for awhile (until they run out of fuel) by going up and down the coast raiding different areas for supplies. And of course it would make a good set up for some battles with other groups as lots of other people would want to take something like that.

 

Wait a second wait a second. All this talk about Gilligan's island. Why can't they crash on a deserted island that has smoke monsters and a person named Jacob that will give you a cup of water and say 'now you're like me.'

 

Actually, the yacht was named for the well-endowed First Lady of the United States.

I'd head over to Catalina Island, 26 miles across the sea, low population away from the one town, wild pigs and small animals, water... Where are they going to beat that?

 

I totally thought they were going to Hawaii or something.

 

A few ideas for where they could go from here.

1. An island is the most obvious place to head. The thought of heading to an island is a commonly discussed idea that could (and probably will) be explored. There is already the rumor that they will be headed to

which is technically an island. I think that this would be a good idea as it would have some essentials for developing a fortified base.

2. I thought that it would be interesting to see a community of boaters develop who live on their boats offshore. They could develop flotillas around an offshore oil platform or something. People could go on runs to dry land several days a week for supplies. I think that it would only be a temporary situation but could be interesting for a few episodes.

3. What if there are walkers in the water, making the water itself unsafe? This sounds ridiculous, unless

in which case this is totally plausible. It would be classic walking dead. Think you have a great idea (living on a boat) only to find out that it is a not so great and likely leads to a characters death

 

I really do not wanna do another prison sequence. But the idea of exploring basically the most opposite side of our spectrum and taking tthe dead to the water is so exciting.

 

The problem with small private islands is you don't know where they are, whereas Catalina is visible. On this show I wouldn't go with a military group, they can't hit the broad side of a barn. And the group did quite well in a confined space against zombies they've never fought before with bolt cutters and such for weapons. I imagine Strand has his own armory, so if they go to the most distant part of the island from town, they should be ok. Besides, they can always stay on the boat, make a ton of noise and let the walkers all follow them into the sea, after which time the currents will wash them away.

And if Los Angeles is empty of 99+ percent of the living, there won't be a sizable population of people to fight off there either.
