I have.

I didn't lose my shoe though... I popped my hip out of socket. Didn't damage anything, but wow that hurt. I was 18 and in pretty much peak physical condition too.

I do think it's a bit odd that the zombie appeared to acquire super-human strength at the end though. I wasn't surprised at all it was stuck in the mud. It was inconsistent.

Interesting take on the comments page about Daryl's brother ending up being the leader of Randall's group,would make perfect sense.

All he would need are sharpe ass thick nails. Which isn't odd really.

Dale's heart was like an open book.

Hadn't thought of that. That would be cool if Merle came back this season, but I don't expect it.

Didn't see that happening...

I got sick of Dale's attitude anyway.
The kid needs to go and they need to move on along before the other group finds them and they start raping.

I wonder if that gun Carl left in the woods will be re-found at some opportune time.

I assume Randall has to tell Rick or someone else about the conversation he overheard with Shane and Andrea.

She's to busy nagging her husband to give a shit about her kid.

When the Zombie lunged at Shane, I honestly wanted him to die. He's an annoying little bastard.

The writing and acting pretty much sucked last night. On paper, I'm sure the idea was to make Dale very likeable and sympathetic before the surprise attack and death. Didn't really work.

When they had that debate in the farmhouse over the kid I just fast forwarded it.

Wow, I took that character test and graded out as Dale. Total surprise, because I had really come to dislike him. He was too whiny, and too much of an extreme -- the "moral conscience" had become an annoying prig, IMO. Plus, the actor had fallen into one annoying mode: the wide-eyed, mouth agape, "How can you do this" pleading.

Dude, it's a zombie apocalypse. You shouldn't be surprised how anyone acts under these circumstances. Make your case better than whining, scolding and acting like you can't believe anyone would dare think life had suddenly become a zero-sum game.

Anyway, it's now moot. Good riddance.

EDIT: One other thing: My son has read the comics and said Dale is a lot cooler there.

I assume you mean Carl, not Shane. And yeah, I thought the kid was a real PITA last night.

I thought for sure he was going to use the zombie as target practice and develop his bloodlust. Was surprised how it all turned out.

You're not alone,I did too.

I'm Glen in the test.

Congrats on tapping dat ass.

I don't care for how Herschell has gone from an independent man of conviction to a little Rick bitch.

Me too.

That seems like it's plausible, though. He's tuned out, and he's letting Rick be the law enforcement.

Yep, he's become a pretty worthless character (though not quite T-Dog worthless). Don't know if the writers didn't know what to do with him after his epiphany, or if this is just a lull. We'll see what happens at the end of the season.

I graded out as Rick.

He should have tossed Andrea on her ass. Andrea left his daughter and she slit her wrist. If Maggie didn't get back in time she'd be dead. I can't imagine Herschell being okay with that. Piss poor character development.

And WTF is up with Dale stringing up dead animals around his tent? Aren't zombies attracted to fresh killed animals like Rick's horse in the pilot?

Agree to disagree, I guess. I think his behavior seems reasonable for the character.

I am Shane in the test.

So did I.

I graded out as Glenn

I got Andrea. **** yea

my wife was giving me shit cause I called hiim the same thing. he IS a little bitch! I was hoping the stuck in the mud zombie would get him.
what an aweful episode. I'm starting to get pissed off.

yawn...

PS - Dale was WRONG! that dude must be killed. ESPECIALLY after he told Carl the punk he'd take him back to his raping/pillaging people.

ROFL
I agree!

Yeah I don't know if that kid could be anymore reeruned. He must get it from his mother, cause Rick is an alright guy.

Rick IS an all right guy.....but....he needs to RECKA-NIZE!
I have two kids and a wife. Putting myself into this situation....call me a jerk....I'd have killed Otis to save my kid....just like Shane did. I'd shoot mother Theresa to save my kid! Sorry Otis.
I'd shoot the captured kid. Yeah it would suck, but it has to be done! Dale! STFU! glad I don't have to listen to your stupid unrealistic (given the context of the situation) bullshit. Shane is the guy to lead them. he's not gonna go raping an pillaging and he's gonna do what needs to be done.

by the way...when Carl-tard snuck into the barn...for some reason I thought he was gonna shoot the captive. anybody else?

That's what I was expecting too. Had Shane not stepped into the barn, who knows what would have happened. My guess would be that Carl would have ran off to find the keys. :facepalm:

Yeah I did think he might have shot him in the barn.

I just don't get why they would risk their own asses to pull the kid off the fence spike and save him just to hold him captive and kill him later. If their original instinct was to save his life, why decide to kill him now?

If I was Rick I'd feed my own dumbass kid to the zombies.

Odd, I thought this was one of the better episodes as of late. I am getting sick of the farm already tho. Gtfo already

They should have had Carl throw rocks until the zombie was beaten to a pulp and then have him get too close when he thought it was dead. Have him head down a Dahmer type spiral.

Yeah, that would have worked if Carl didn't have an arm like Cassel. LMAO

wow. I'm seeing a possible DVD timer deletion on the horizon...

oh....by the way.....I'm T-Dog bitches!

They have no choice now.

After spending days torturing and threatening him there is no real chance that he'd join the group. That ship has sailed.

Keep in mind one of the 'compassionate' solutions they discussed was actually enslaving him.

Had they embraced the kid and tried to help him immediately after his friends had abandoned him, they could have been his saviors. They've idiot-decisioned themselves into a corner now. They have to kill him, and it's because their own stupidity put them at risk. The kid could have been beneficial.

Why did they even consider hanging him?

yeah that was really really REALLY stupid right?
if I'm gonna get wacked.....please just put a bullet in my head.

I like when the blond was like, "This can't be all the ammo we have left."

Yeah, weird. The group only shot off like 150 rounds doing target practice. No one said, "So, doesn't this seem like a waste of ammo?"

Not to mention all of the ammo they wasted on shooting up the barn-Walkers. I didn't quite get that btw. They live on a farm and have pitchforks, hoes *snicker*, etc. But then again, Shane didn't give them time to arm themselves w/ alternative weapons.

I expect to see them make an ammo run here shortly and possibly bump into the other group.

Common sense is lost on all of them. They were in a city with tons of military vehicles left abandoned, yet they drive motorcycles (loud), regular beat up cars and an RV that apparently needs new hoses every 6 hours. Armored military vehicles, no thanks, I've got my Datsun.

It looked like Shane was sneaking the ammo out of Dale's RV and storing it in the back of his spiffy green SUV.

This!

While the bike would be fun, its really loud, and should you come upon a horde of zombies that a car could just roll through, on bike, you're toast.

I didn't notice that. Interesting.

Good catch.

One of the executive producers yesterday mentioned on that talk show that Darryl was about to kill Randall before the Dale situation happened. I didn't notice that at the time.

How do military vehicles usually run? Do they take regular keys and shit? Or is there usually some kind of computerized element to make them go?

You turn the key and go:

Graded out as Rick.

I enjoyed last night's episode. Trying to not to overanalyze everything.

That said, the kid is starting to get annoying.

He's acting more like Shane than Rick......

Speaking of an RV that needs a new hose every 6 hours, no chance that RV runs with him gone now, right?

The black dude must get so mad every week when he reads the script. "Nothing, nothing (flips pages) nothing. Oh wait, 'Stands by tree'? That's it?"

bwahaha

T-Dog had a line this week. A big step for his character.

ROFL I hadn't thought about that. That's just another reason to keep them on the farm.

1. Find an RV retailer

2. Pick a new shiny comfortable RV

3. Smile

That's right, bitches.

Now I'm gonna look at you the same way I have a thousand times...

Head tilted slightly to the left, eye's squinted and a long delay between sentences. Not to mention, I'll have a southern accent only 1/2 the time.

It was all because Rick is a pussy ass do-gooder. Let that ****ing kid die. Realistically speaking, NO ONE ON THE ****ING PLANET IN THAT SITUATION WOULD HAVE RESCUED THAT KID.

LMAO ROFL Ohhhhh man. Thank you, sir. That gave me quite the chuckle.

T Dog is worthless. The wanna be suicidal daughter is worthless. And is her husband still alive? I haven't seen that guy since like the first episode they were on the farm. He's probably the most worthless of them all.

That shit annoys me. Someone mentioned Shane getting stale with the same mannerisms but Rick has to be the worst one.

They just leave their brass everywhere. That's ****ing reeruned.

How many times this season has Shane said "Let me ask you somethin"?

This show just keeps getting more Lord of the Flies with this last episode.

Shane: Jack
Daryl: Roger
Rick: Ralph
Dale: Simon

Me either, they spent a lot of work trying to save him to kill him..

------------

And hopefully something big is coming for the black guy, he is a ghost right now..

------------

Sad about Dale.. hated the character, but good actor..

I got Rick also, but I am more of between him and Shane if it were to happen..

Looks like I came out as Rick in the test/survey thingy...

Carl you punk, you better own up on teasing the walker and bringing it to camp.

Dale... goodbye. Grandpa wisdom is GONE! (I'm glad)

Glenn... you gotcha a new watch so, it's time start slappin some skins with Maggie!

Rick... you should've put one in that kids head, this'll come back in a bad way somehow.

I really hope the son gets impaled on a zombie fist. Are the writers trying to piss us off?


Well, it's a matter of time until they trace the zombie's footprints back to the creek, find the gun, discover the little bastard was there, then have a father to son talk about not leaving the camp, blah blah blah.

My brother and I watched this show for the first time last night... last episode of last season and first episode of the new.

This is the worst written show I've seen in a long damn time. My brother was actually pissed off about how big the glaring reerunation was. I had to keep it on for the new episode after the old one just because he was making me laugh so hard.

Show might have some potential if the charactors weren't so amazingly stupid and didn't do so many amazingly stupid things. It was wow bad.

Episode filler

The last five minutes of some episodes keep us hooked, but the filler sucks.


This show could be a lot better, but I will take below average filler with great moments over a cancelled show any day.

Other than the danger they it themselves in getting him off of the fence, what danger has Randall brought to the group?

Whether they save him or not, the other group still knows they exist.

Whether they kill him or not, the risk that the other group finds them is the same.

The only way he is a danger, is if they force him to leave their group. Then, he has no choice but to try and find his buddies again.

If they let him stay, saving his life outweighs beating him up for info. Why would he try to run off to find his old group when:

1. they left him to die, whereas this group risked their lives to save him.

2. He said it himself, they never stay in the same place more than one night.

3. He has only been with their group a short while. The group has been traveling the country pretty much(confirmed by guys in the bar not being locals, one from Philly, and talking about going from rumor to rumor for safety), they only picked him up when they got to this town(confirmed b/c he's a local) and obviously don't plan on staying long, as they haven't set up shot anywhere else between here and Philly, why would they all of a sudden drop anchor here?

The thing that made us laugh the most was how Rick and the bald guy talked about how the two cops/walkers they killed must have gotten the sickness through scratches on their face... then they fought and Rick was all beat up with two open wounds on his face... then he kills 3 walkers that land on top of him and their blood splatters all over... but obviously not into the big cut next to his left eye... uh huh.

Then bald idiot traps himself in a bus and cuts his own hand to smear blood on the doorway... why cut your hand?! You might need to use your hands! How about your upper arm? Then he smears his blood on the doorway and lures the walkers in and stabs them in the head WITH HIS HAND! I'm sure there's no way he could get any of their blood on that wound that way.

Then the stupid kid steals a gun and goes off and almost gets caught by a walker and leaves the gun behind and when he comes back all muddy (and while he's gone) no one ever wonders where Carl is while they're suppossedly under such a threat... and no one notices he's dirty once he comes back because they're too busy debating something they should have never had to deal with in the first place with the prisoner.

Hey forshadowing... the gun the stupid kid took will be needed when walkers or the prisoners people come to call and the owner goes to his saddle bag to find............ nothing.

I swear grade school kids write this show.

You people annoy the **** out of me. If you want mindless action, go rent shotgun zombie movies, there are a lot of them.

This show isn't about Zombies. It's about survivors, how they deal with it and how it changes them. The "filler" is what the show is about. The action is necessary b/c it is bound to bound(wow autocorrect) in this type of world.

As for them being stupid, some of them are, imo it's Shane, Lori, Carl, Andrea and now Rick being too big of a bitch to stand for his own convictions and letting Shane's opinion of how he handles things affect his decision making. His own insecurity is going to he a weakness, already is.

I have no shame in admitting that I'm addicted to TWD. I started w/ the first episode and have been intrigued w/ it ever since. Of course, I'm a sucker for zombies.

TWD has ups and downs, like every show does, but I enjoy a story line that keeps me wondering what will happen next. I'll admit that some events were lame and predictable, but others kept me on the edge of my seat. Like the scene w/ Shane in the bus. I thought for sure his ass was toast! LMAO

As far as the characters, they're "rough", no argument there. Some drop out of character, (loss of accent, straining to show a natural emotion, repetitive dialogue, etc.), but they have individuality. The worse thing writers can do is have the majority of their characters be similar. The comments on this thread is enough proof that the writers did a good job at making hateful/likable characters.

Not everyone will like this show *cough* beer me *cough* :p, but I do and I'm happy I can get me fill of zombies on a Sunday evening! :thumb:

I like zombies and I'd probably like this show if the writers had proved they were worthy of moving onto 2nd grade. As it is I'm sure I've seen my first and last 2 episodes.

Just b/c they assume that the "virus" spread through scratches, doesn't mean that is how it's spread. The theories from the fanbase are MUCH different than that.

Seeing as how you've only seen 2 episodes, I can see how you got turned off by the show. IMO, fans of shows don't become fans until they know the full story. In your case, you watched the 2 episodes where a few things didn't make much sense.

For example, the blood exchange through cuts. That is one of the things I noticed right off the bat. Shane and Rick were cutting their hands for a reason. They were smearing the blood in order to draw the Walkers' attention to the blood so they can stab them. Ok, cool. No problem there. Oh, wait, now they have open wounds and there is zombie blood flinging everywhere. Oops. Problem. Or is it? :hmmm:

In a previous episode, that took place at the CDC building, the "whisper" occurred. As you have only seen 2 episodes, you may not know about the guy in the CDC building whispering something to Rick. There's speculation that everyone is already infected and that they will only turn into zombies when they die. If this is the case, blood exchange wouldn't matter.

Weak.

As I outlined that's not the only hole in the show. My brother and I watched 2hours worth and literally laughed out loud and one hole after another. Luckily I'll never see another episode so the fans here can continue the discussion without me.

:)

That's all fine Lump you and all can follow your show and like it all you want... no problem to me. Yes I only saw 2 episodes but my brother and I had such a hilarious reaction to it I couldn't help notice the thread in here so I had to comment.

Simple question though... if you were fighting a physical battle with killers and you needed to use your own blood as bait for them wouldn't there be a better place to cut than across your palm? I mean you might want to keep your hands in top condition in that circumstance.

Next time I know there's a good chance I'm going to need to fight off an aggressor my hands will be the first thing I'll wound lol.

2nd grade writting...

:D
