Dear Deadry,
While I absolutely love The Walking Dead there are some things I just do not understand or would really like to see!
Where are the Walkers and why are they just not scary? Being as Walkers are the imminent threat there should be more of them around and they should be terrifying! It seems through the Seasons there are less of them and they are in comparison to others I have seen in Movies/TV like puppies and unicorns. They do not have to have a huge fight every time but more "herds" coming around and keeping the fear alive would be fantastic! They are promising to amp it up so I hope they do so I can feel the fear, be terrified and on the edge of my seat!
Why haven't they hit a Walmart Supercenter? Really? They are all over the place and have everything! (yeah I love Walmart I go there for everything just about and that would be one place I would hit in a Apocalypse! I would just like to see them start hitting up larger scale places when they go on runs, of course this long into the Apocalypse they probably missed the boat on finding much left now!
I would like to see more of a variety! Walkers should be a mix of every type of person in the world. All ages, races, heights and sizes. A mixture of some in specific career oriented apparel to those who turned in their bathrobe or a swimsuit for that matter! Kids, teenagers, adults to senior citizens!

1. GIVE US MORE & TERRIFY US!
Where are the Walkers and why are they just not scary? Being as Walkers are the imminent threat there should be more of them around and they should be terrifying! It seems through the Seasons there are less of them and they are in comparison to others I have seen in Movies/TV like puppies and unicorns.

They are promising to amp it up so I hope they do so I can feel the fear, be terrified and on the edge of my seat!
“We’re going to amp up the threat of the walkers, because they’ve
started to seem like a manageable threat. They are not a manageable
threat,” producer Gale Anne Hurd
2. CAN WE GET SOME BACKSTORY PLEASE!
While they have given some actual visual flashback glimpses into Rick, Lori, Carl and Shane's lives prior to the Apocalypse early on, they have not done so for any other Character on the show. I don't want to just hear someone talk about something prior to the world they live in now. I would like to see them as they were prior to this new world. I think it would add a whole new element to character development being able to have those backstories / flashbacks come to life on the screen!
3. MAKE A TRIP TO WALLYWORLD!
Why haven't they hit a Walmart Supercenter? Really? They are all over the place and have everything! (yeah I love Walmart I go there for everything just about and that would be one place I would hit in a Apocalypse! I would just like to see them start hitting up larger scale places when they go on runs, of course this long into the Apocalypse they probably missed the boat on finding much left now!
4. THE OUTBREAK NEEDS TO MORPH!
Speaking of being this long into the Apocalypse and the Walkers not being scary, it is time for this outbreak to morph into something bigger, more threatening and dangerous! The Walkers need to begin to transform with time passing into smarter and faster Walkers. They just can't drag on as these languid, doltish, easily neutralized beings. The virus needs to strengthen with time for the Walkers that have survived. If they want longevity of the series they really need to make this virus into something monumental and seemingly insuperable to the survivors. For instance as time passes the brain begins to actually regenerate in certain parts strengthening the Walkers and giving them the ability to run, jump, climb, use weapons, regain thought processes even though they would clearly have to lack moral compass and total lucidity. Small changes here and there to gradually build up the ongoing outbreak would be cause for definite longevity and continued genuine interest!
5. MEETING BASIC NEEDS SHOULD BE ON THE FOREFRONT!
Seems as time is passing they are failing to put focus on meeting basic needs. You really never see them eat, drink, clean up etc.. like you did when the show first started. You would think this far into this new world they would be having a constant daily struggle to simply meet their basic needs. Food, Water, Clothing, Hygiene, etc.. They should put more emphasis on them working hard to meet those needs to survive and show what a struggle it is becoming as time is passing.
6. DID MOTHER NATURE GET BITTEN & SHOT IN THE HEAD?
There is a serious lack of weather conditions they must deal with. Where is the rain? Thunderstorms? Tornado? Something! I would love to see them dealing with all they are now and have to face serious weather conditions at the same time. It would certainly be interesting to see what they would do if a tornado was barreling down at them like this....
7. WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN & HOUSE PETS GONE?
There seems to very rarely be any children or children walkers and you would think they would have some here and there. They could at least show some in the "herds" even if they wish not to continuously kill children as walkers. Also where are all the normal house pets? Did they all get eaten? Do they turn into walkers if they get bit? Seeing a normal house pet like a dog or cat somewhere and perhaps adding one to the group would be nice! I think Daryl would benefit the most from having a dog. He needs something to emotionally connect with that has no strings attached and further develop the emotional side of his character. Also how cool would it be to see a dog or cat walker?
8. NO SEX........ PLEASE!
I would think sex would be the farthest thing from my mind in an apocalypse! While I do understand and appreciate the need for a little romp here or there, I suppose to curb the sex hungry appetites of some viewers for ratings. It is not something I need to see a lot of on The Walking Dead. I also think Glenn and Maggie have tore it up enough for everyone already! I would appreciate subtle intimacy and real affectionate human connections more.
9. CAN WE GET SOME VARIETY PLEASE!!!
Maybe it is just me but most of the time when I see Walkers on the show they kind of all just look the same. Mostly tall, lanky, skinny, average people of the possible Caucasian persuasion.
an example
10. CAN WE GET SOME MORE CONFLICT?
While there has been some conflict here and there, we need more. Obviously living with a group of people is taxing for anyone, but under their circumstances I could not even imagine! Conflict from small to large is warranted in a situation as theirs to further evolve each respective character. No one should be exempt from going at each other's throat over something at some point. Everyone should have a voice and use it in any given situation. That being said the conflict should be constructive for the group not destructive. Conflict will make them stronger and there would never be room for change if people did not disagree....and often in a case like this!
