1) Since it was established in the pilot episode that at least a month (probably longer) has passed since the walkers first appeared, it's highly unlikely anybody, man, woman, or child, would still be uninitiated and/or unprepared to tackle this thing like a bad-ass. The fact that they've survived this long indicates they're tough. Why then don't they use the clothes, mannequins, counters, and assorted junk merchandise to barricade the huge gaping glass storefront? Followed by the stairs up to the roof? Why not assemble some body armor and shields? Oh wait, they DID, but then for some reason quit wearing it. When Glenn rescued The Sheriff they ran inside the store as two others put the baseball bat smackdown on two zombies while wearing riot gear. I'd keep that stuff on if I were you guys...
2) What did they come into the city for anyway? They leave with two duffel bags. I can understand a scrounging mission. I can't fathom sending so many people on it.
3) Why didn't they set up a little better plan that entailed some timing and back-up planning so that supplies could be gathered (such as they were). Yes I know time was a factor but how many people needed to watch them mosey on over to the truck? Some of you go downstairs, barricade up the glass then grab some stuff we'll need for base camp. Also, nobody thought to either kill Merle or at least shove the hacksaw near him? Jerk though he was (I'd a shot him or thrown him over the side for a distraction) he didn't need to be left to die of starvation on the roof.
4) And my biggest question is why, after he's been up and awake for several days now, hasn't Rick asked for a better description of what the hell happened to our planet while he was in a coma? In the beginning he's scared and running, but now he's had time and several different people to ask. At least to get some differing viewpoints. That's the biggest reason I watch (next to the wicked cool gore). I want the story of what went wrong. If anything. Something. Tell me! How are these walkers even able to move, considering (usually) a body liquefies within a month of death? So where did all these dead people come from? Was there a viral outbreak of some sort? They've already stated "the fever" kills people and then they zombie-up, but when and where did it start? After reading "World War Z" all I can say is, Show me!
