Also, this show has to be realistic. I'll tell you, my fiance's daughter, and my 16 month old son are likely to get me killed. The 16 month old cant help it, but the 15yr. old will do a LOT of stupid shit, hell, so will my fiancee. Doesn't mean I kill them myself to save my own skin.

Idiots are around us everywhere, go to Wal-Mart. Some of those mouth breathers will be survivors. People are stupid, figure that out already.

I can't even get my fiancee to help me do simple home projects around the house without displaying complete ineptitude. How do you think she'd fair in a zombie apocalypse?

I work with my hands for a living. Keeping them "in good shape" is never on my mind. In fact, they are in pretty rough shape most of the time. Like most who work with their hands. Why is taking care of your hands so important to you? I'd be so much more concerned about my feet. I don't know that any cut, gouge or other injury to my hand(and there have been many, there is never not some kind on my hands) has ever stopped me from doing what I feel needed to be done.

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.

2nd grade writting...

:D
I don't think it's too stupid. It would probably be my first instictive place to cut also. He's facing his death and nobody thinks clearly in an intense situation like that. Period. You can SAY you and your brother would do everything right. Of course, you're sitting on your couch.

I bet you both watched "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and decided you would win the million 80% of the time...

If either my brother or I ever watched Who wants to be a millionare we'll just go outside afterwards and yell loud enough for the walkers to come claim our bodies without a fight.

ROFL

But the next time I need to fight off an aggressor I'll be sure to slice my hand open and wound my greatest weapon first.

That's tough to figure out sitting on a couch I guess.

Damn, beer me, settle down. LMAO You're making it sound like they cut their hands to the bone. They made a slit, (a minimal one at that), to get enough blood flowing. A cut/slit on the hand wouldn't cause an interruption w/ protecting yourself from walkers anyway. You can't bitch slap a zombie, they just give you the "derp" look. ;)

Furthermore, you misspelled, "writing". :p

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 only reason Rick is alive is because Randell is a bad shot with a rifle from high ground at about 40 yards none the less. That's a fair factor to consider. I'd let him live and put him in as many positions as possible to watch him when he didn't know he was being watched and be ready to take him out in a 2 second notice.

Also, he didn't try to leave the group even be benign to the new one after he saw teenage girls being raped if his story is true.

Old rules don't apply. They should have left him for the zombies or mercy kill.

They should have killed him when they found him. What good is he other than to potentially cause trouble? They don't "need" him so dispose of him. The old man with the beard who died is lovely at talking sense if their world made sense anymore. Rick is the dumbest "leader" ever.

I could see how they would want to add more hands and eyes to the group. But that dude just shot at them, that should have sealed the deal right there.

Also, even with the dumb decision to bring him back in the heat of battle they're making this more complicated than it needs to be as leaders. Rick and Shane say "we're taking him 16 miles down the road, we'll be more careful this time". How far do you have to be before you can't hear a 45 caliber go off? 1 mile? 2?

Executing him in front of the group for lots of reasons is dumb. Drive 2 miles, off the guy, sip some whiskey for an hour and drive back saying "last we saw him he was holding up in an abandoned ___________".

The girls and Carl don't need to know the nitty gritty.

People die. If you don't add members you will perish. Strength in numbers. A grown man would be useful. The kid would have probably been pretty grateful for them saving his life after his 'companions' abandoned him. They could have treated his wound and, logically, he's probably not going anywhere. They would have been his savior. That would give them an advantage over a potential enemy as well.

Instead Rick makes a pussy decision. He saves his life only to condemn him to death in a way that is easier on his conscience. Either save him or kill him... but make a real decision. You don't torture him for three days and then waffle on killing him. He only views them as captors now.

NewChief 03-06-2012 05:19 AM
While you can argue the realistic/literal level of this show all you want, it's clear to me that the writers are going for something entirely different as of late. Like aturnis said, the "filler" is what the show is about. You're not going to get back-to-back zombie gore-splatter action throughout the episode. That's not the point of the show.

They're moving more and more into an allegorical examination of the dissolution of society and the use of power in the vacuum of government. I love the direction the show is going. I thought the last episode was awesome, and packed a ton of meaning into the various trajectories and uses of power the different group members represent. This should get even better as they travel to different areas.

Lots of comparisons to Lord of the Flies. Some of Watership Downs also comes to mind.

People whining about the literalness of this show would be the same people whining about Gus Fring's cinematic last scene in BB.

That being said, there are valid criticisms to level at the show: dialog gets wooden and drawn out, pacing can be off, they tell instead of show too often, can be heavy handed with the character development, etc...

I hope they do. That really set a tone to the novels early on.

So when you become a zombie, do you become superhuman as well? A regular human can't just rip flesh open in seconds with his bare hands like the one did to Dale. But a rotting slow corpse can?

Since zombies work on a brainstem level (higher functions are shut off), I envision it being exactly like one of those "superhuman" moments of emergency where a mom lifts a car off her child who is trapped beneath it. With the taste of "brainz" imminent, the zombie suddenly is flooded with adrenaline (or something) in a last ditch effort to eat.

But yeah, I thought that was pretty over the top. That being said: visceral (haha) moments like that are what much of the zombie-loving audience clamor for.

you do have some valid points. but....as someone else mentioned....this guy stayed with them after the rapes. very suspicious. as I said before...don't foget he told Carl-tard he'd take him to his people if he helped him escape....wonder when that info will come out? he just MAY be OK and he just MAY be an asset....but if he gains trust and then runs off in the middle of the night....Ricks group is absolutely ****ED! my wife and my kids are the most important thing. I'd kill him. it's harsh. it's the right move. no friggin way you could risk this guy running off to his buddies and bringing them back.....NO WAY! there is no other option.

Rick and Shane must have been two of the worst police officers in the world.

They interrogate the kid only after the failed attempt at releasing him? Here's an idea, when he's all drugged up from getting his leg repaired question him. Make him think he's your friend, after all you just saved his life and his old "friends" abandoned him.

Does anyone really think rooster Shane is going to let someone else interrogate and beat the kid without him being present?

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.

I'm thinking that since the flesh around their fingers has rotted off and their finger-nails are longer, the zombie had the ideal stabbing weapon in order to gut the old man like a fish.

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.
ROFL

The show is ****ing predictable as hell! The only "HOLY SHIT" moment I have had was the little girl showing up.

Don't get high and mighty. I am not a "Mindless viewer". The writing is pedestrian at best so far, and they better thank God that Shane carried the show for the entire 2nd season.

eh...different strokes for different folks.

I like to think that people (under the duress of the constant threat of being eaten alive by zombies) may not always make the most "logical" decisions.

it's easy to play monday morning zombie-apocalypse QB.......but after watching zombies eat your friends....your friends turn into zombies (and then subsequently shot in the head by you).....you're bound to make a few dumb decisions here and there.

I enjoy that the show focuses on the psychological impact and angle, moreso than the physical side (although that comes into play at times as well)....

But again....different strokes, for different folks.

I like the show, too, I just had to set him straight. He thinks that we are dumbasses that need explosions and action to keep our interest, when in fact we are quite the opposite. I like creative and interesting stories and character development instead of retread story lines.

Maybe Breaking Bad has spoiled me. I don't know.

I just chalk it up to 'zombies never make sense'. Cos what you just said is impossible without a functioning circulatory system.

I just ignore it. I like zombie movies... and none of them make sense.

Now.

There was an option when they first saved him. They opted to treat him as a POW. Now killing him is the smart thing to do.

I wouldn't 'forgive and forget' people who chained me up in a barn, beat the shit out of me for days with the threat of death hovering over my head. It would be hard for me to view them as any more righteous than the lunatics I was already running with.

It's obvious at this point the only reason they pulled him off that fence was a decision made soley to ease Rick's self righteous conscience. If they wanted to save him, they would have treated him entirely different. It was stupid as **** to bring him back to their camp with anything other than the intent to save him.

As for running with a group of lunatics... I think most people would rather survive with lunatics than die. Hell, the fact that they're lunatics means 'leaving' alive might not be an option.

I don't know, but when the kid told the story about the rape of the teenage girls and he made the comment that they left them alive, I thought that next season those three will end up helping Rick's group when they meet up with the 30.

The writing has been so contrived this whole 2nd season. I've been steadily losing interest in this show. It's so meh at this point in time. I still watched the last episode, but man, I'm quickly realizing I'm caring less and less.

I like the show a lot. All the nitpicking I do is mostly just for fun. I look forward to the show every week though. It's one of my favorites.

I'm in the same boat. The 2nd season has slowly been putting me to sleep and it's not because I need constant action.

The show is pretty much better than anything else on tv this time of year.

I'm sure the last 2 episodes will be great. This last one was ok, really. At least it's consistent.

Give Justified and Archer a chance if you aren't already on those bandwagons.

I tried Archer via Netflix and I just can't get into it...

I want to watch Justified but I'll wait until I can get caught up.

You just can't justify watching Justified at this time. Gotcha.

This has never been a fantastic show, but the 2nd season has actually been better than the first (which was pretty weak apart from 2-3 episodes).

I agree completely. The first had the impetus of z-poc behind it. Now they're trying to see if they can bridge the gap to a long living show that doesn't just follow the z-poc formula (humans get overwhelmed, humans look desparate, few survivors live survivalist lives, human ingenuity begins to come together, humans pull some macgyver shit and kick zombie ass). If they're going to do it, it's going to take going deeper, fleshing out characters, and building some story arcs that don't involve zombies.

They've certainly floundered this season, but they're getting stronger as they build on their themes, imo.

People can complain, but it still beats any of the shit on the "networks". Now, that is garbage TV.

What network shows do you watch?

I'd argue that Fringe is a great deal better than The Walking Dead.

Lori and Andrea and Maggie get into a threeway, in the process, through estrogen overload, creating a seven-headed zombie fetus that bursts from Andrea's abdomen and quickly eats the entire cast except for Rick's hat.

KcMizzou 03-11-2012 06:53 PM
I read it. I like the show anyway. (hell, zombies) But I'm a little more excited to see it than usual.

Munson 03-11-2012 08:02 PM
Great ending to the episode. Next week's season finale should be killer!

seaofred 03-11-2012 08:04 PM
Next week looks pretty good.
