This season of the Walking Dead is already off to a much different start than we're used to. The group is split up. Morale is low. And Carl loves chocolate pudding.

Things are certainly different. But not different enough! Here are 10 life or death items we wish the Walking Dead cast had in season 4. These would be sure to spice things up...
9 Life or Death Items for the Walking Dead Cast

Tic Tac Toe Drinking Game: Wouldn’t it be nice if the group had something to do while they were locked up in that prison or even now in that random house? Having a game to liven up the downtime between zombie battles would do the cast good. Add a little whiskey in there and the Walking Dead is starting to look like a party! Room for one more?

Zombie Hammer: We can only imagine the zombie carnage someone like Daryl would have with a weapon like this in his hands. Part spiked brass knuckles, part pick axe, the Zombie Hammer is specifically designed for taking down Walkers and would be an exciting addition to the show.

Biodegradable Matte Black Toothbrush: We’re not sure if our survivors have any time (or interest) to brush their teeth. But, assuming that dental hygiene is only irrelevant to biters (irony much?), we’d like to see the heroes brushing their teeth with toothbrushes as dark as their souls.

Tactical Car Seat Cover: There’s a lot of walking going on right now (hahahaha), but maybe one day soon Rick and Co. will be able to find a car, some guns and ammunition. If so, we'd love to see them use a tactical seat cover to take the zombie killing to the next level! It's the American way.

Breaking Bad Chess Game: A little cross-series respect would be much appreciated from us Walking Dead fans. The Breaking Bad Chess Game is not only a fun Easter Egg for regular AMC viewers, but maybe some brain exercises would help our stressed protagonists feel better in the show. Put down the pudding, Carl!

Cat Battle Armor: There’s a noticeable lack of animal companionship in the Walking Dead. Sure, Michonne is notorious for leashing up walkers for a good time, but we want to see the gang adopt a real pet! Plus, what's cuter than a cat in battle armor?
Fruit Ninja: Did Michonne’s little zombie massacre make anyone else want to play Fruit Ninja really, really badly?

Ledge Stainproof Pants: Rick is looking real bad right now in the Walking Dead and we aren’t talking about his wounds and/or ungrateful son. He’s dressed like a complete bum! These stainproof pants would keep Rick at the front lines and always lookin’ fresh.

Giant Swiss Army Knife: There are many applications for a Swiss Army Knife in the world of Walking Dead but we think this particularly elaborate setup would be extra useful. With 141 functions on this bad boy, the creators might think about changing the show title from "Walking Dead" to "141 Ways to Kill a Zombie".
Or is that already what's going on?
