Inspired by all the talk of Day on here lately, I watched it yesterday while I ate dinner. Strange choice of movie for dinner viewing, I agree, but let's look past that, shall we? :stunned:
When watching, I was trying to view it with fresh eyes, since I haven't watched it since around March or April. I had a couple of points I was wondering about and thought maybe some of you may have thought about too. I figured I would start this quasi-pointless Day themed Q & A thread for us all. Anyway, a couple things I wondered about:
When Rhodes and Torres both wake up at the exact same time from their seperate pummelings compliments of John, why didn't either one of them think to look over at the nearby zombie pen, notice the doors were wide open and close them? That would have saved them from A LOT of trouble just minutes later!
Speaking of the zombie pen, at the begining of the movie, Sarah throws a hissy fit at Rickles over the army guys not always recording how many (and when) zombies are taken from the pen. She seems to be of the opinion that they are down to scrapping the bottom of the barrel for specimens. Of course, at the end of the movie, we see what seems like dozens of zombies pouring out of the pen and into the complex. If there were so many zombies in the pen, what was Sarah so riled up about?? It looked like there were more than enough zombies still in there!
When the platform is coming down into the complex, full of zombies (compliments of stoopid Miguel), why didn't Torres - who seemed to be the last man out of the platform room - close and lock the door behind him? Hell, I counted a few open doors they had to run through to get to the open area of the main complex. Each of those doors could have been closed/locked to easily contain the zombie breach of the complex into ONE room!
Does anyone else laugh at Rhodes when he is on the golf cart and doing his low speed defensive drive through the zombie hoarde from the pen? He looks totally frightened and all these yucky zombies are around....and he's maxed out at like 3 m.p.h. :lol:
What was the exact chain of command? We know Captain Rhodes was in charge overall...inherited from Major Cooper upon his death. It seems Steele was a PFC while the others were Privates, so I guess Steele was second in command on the military side of things. What about on the civilian side? Was "Frankenstein" supposed to be the head of the science team? Or was it Sarah? It seems like John and Billy, as transport and communications, were a part of the civilian team, but not in any way involved in the overall command structure. It was said that the mission wasn't a military operation, implying it was supposed to be civilian run...the military was there for what? Muscle? Protection?
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you had thought of these points? What have you to add?
