I liked it a lot but i dont understand the peaks and valleys of Carl's character, some episode he is just ruthless, then hes a helpless kid again, then hes a badass again etc.

Forced, contrived, stagnant-- this show deserves to be "put down" mercifully. Its such a shame to witness marketing greed destroy an awesome premise and a great first season.

Kids tend to be all over the place like that. Mature one moment and then you want to smack them the next for being so stupid. So his back and forth doesn't really bother me.
 
Did they really ask that question? Rick and Carl suck at surviving.

The guy with a bullet wound who is barely alive.

The kid who wasted all his bullets to kill like 4 walkers, lost his shoe, then gorged on pudding.

The woman who killed like a dozen+ walkers effortlessly in this episode alone.

Tough call.

Exactly the thought process I had when they proposed that question. Like who was the genius who thought that one up?

The was one of the dullest hours of television I have ever seen in my life. Just a bunch of whining and effortless zombie killing. Absolutely no suspense. No threat. Carl weighs like 70 lbs. And that zombie couldn't handle him? How the hell did the rest of society get wiped off so easily?

I never liked Carl I'll admit but this episode made me despise him. What a twat. Just when I thought TWD was now safe from annoying characters.... Shane, Lori, Andrea, and Carol... This turd takes the mantle. Stupid contrived scenes like Rick acting like a zombie or Michonne travelling with a pack of zombies so she could have that scene.

This is what happens when you dispose of a human threat. These characters are aimless. It's just fucking boring. Killing the gov will go down as one of the dumbest moves this dumb show has made.

Are you kidding me? The Governor was such a drawn out anti-climatic villian. Extremely boring. I was depressed when he returned.

There is a huge post apocalyptic world out there with more threats both human and not, and I'm so glad the Prison and derpville are over with. Post apocalyptic northern GA is much more interesting. Hopefully they trek across and hit another major city.

Rick does a really good job of acting fucked up.

Yeah, I think Lincoln is a pretty good actor. At least relative to the cast in general. Though I think they're weeding out some of the poor performers. Andrea for instance. But it could have been the horrible writing from the previous set of writers.

Agreed. The Governor arc is representative of what they do with this show as a whole. They take something from the comics but make changes, and then they attempt to circle back to something from the comics regardless of if it makes sense or not.

I was cheering out loud for the walker to get a bite in on coral. He had a great grab on his calves and everything.

Carl, at such a young age, has gone through so many traumatic events (near death experiences, having to shoot his own mother, losing his baby sister) that he copes by building himself up as this tough guy who can handle anything...but as this episode so perfectly demonstrates he's still just a kid who struggles to understand his place. He has always resented being the youngest in the group and not getting the respect he thinks he deserves. When Rick tells him to "watch your mouth" after using a bit of salty language he again feels like the little kid and runs off...only to be placated by the one thing most kids love - chocolate pudding.

Took that zombie a decade to take a bite out of Carl's shoe. I'm done.

Excited for next week's episode lool.
 
Good episode all in all. I hope it continues cause this is all I got since Arrow and The Tomorrow People bowed down to the Winter Olympics.

He didn't even check to see if the door was opened I don't think.

Oh, it wasn't the house with Rick on the sofa. So not as bad.

Someone should update the gif to have Rick breathing hard on the sofa then cut away to the rest to imply what I was thinking.

After a 2 month layoff, this is what we get? I can't believe I just spent the better part of an hour watching this snooze fest. I usually watch these on reruns the day after, no commercials and the ability to fast forward is absolutely the way to watch this show. What the fuck was I thinking.
