Haha, best part was how they kept scolding the horribly injured kid to stop yelling about his horribly painful injury while at the same time blasting off guns.

Fun episode though, and next week looks like they're starting to rev it up. They need to give Dale something to do besides occasionally glare at Shane as he walks by.

I raged so fucking hard at this. Goddammit, I want like this show so bad but they are making it so hard. Yet another episode I hardly cared for.

And Lori needs to die so badly.
 
Oh wow. FUCK YES. This show is really, really coming into its own. Loved this episode. Excellent, tense, and dark stuff all around. DAT ENDING.

I'm so happy that they're finally getting into a groove.

That scene all but reaffirmed my Team Shane status.

Rick nearly got two people killed, including himself, to save a guy who was sniping at them literally not 15 fucking seconds ago. And to top it off he brings the dude back to their camp? *slaps forehead*

I dare team Rick to defend that stupid shit. smfh
 
A few things I hated in these last 2 episodes.

Lori, what a fucking cunt, and I do hate they the writers for doing something so unnatural for anyone to do if it was real.
There is no way she would take her car and drive after them like that, no way and then to add that fucking crash to it. No that kind of made me feel that this show is about to go downhill.

Second thing I hated in this new episode is the scene with that blond tramp that Shane banged and the sick girl who is in bed. why did they need to add that to the show, sentimental crap.

More killing and more exploring about why these damn zombies are there, leave the damn farm goddammit.

I don't read the comics, but if they got this guy for the role I'd be seriously on board:

They really need to start drawing on some better acting talent.

I would prefer Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje for Tyrese.

And for Michonne I have no idea yet who would be a good pick for that role.
 
The opening scenes in the bar and around the street was aweome. Really tense. Top stuff.

Everything else? ZZZZZ

The show keeps trying to do deep, intimate scenes between the most unlikable, two dimensional and boring characters. It's a bad soap opera most of the time. Urgh.

And more useless trivia: The graduation picture on the wall (in the scene where Lori talks to Carl about the baby) is actually from Scott Wilson's (Hershel's) high school graduation!
Click to expand...

haha I caught that and figured it looked too legit to be fake (and if it was... crazy detail from the art department :D).

I've also noticed pictures on the refrigerator. I'm guessing the producers had cast members bring in personal photos to put on the fridge? Love that kind of stuff and makes things feel more real.
I actually really liked that little story that Maggie told to Andrea. It felt like a real memory and showed some good acting chops to make it believable.

Now I'm wondering why (promo spoiler)
Maggie seems so pissed off at Andrea next week. I figure it will relate to her alliance with Shane.
I'm really starting to feel for these farm folk and I have a bad feeling things aren't going to end well for them. Between the walkers being in town in higher numbers and Shane's increasing madness, you just have to know the shit is about to hit the fan at high speeds.
 
Just a reminder: please spoiler tag comic book discussion and label it as such. This includes, but is not limited to, character descriptions, locations, and plot points. Thank you.
 
just finished watching it


its time to get rid of rick, what is he doing

at the bare minimum, he needs to be stabbed by that
kid he rescued and be out of action for a few episodes
so he cant do anymore stupid shit

"Aw damn, got a paper cut."

Click to expand...
If that paper cut bled like an anime sword wound and screamed loud enough to attract every zombie in the area, yeah, I'd have to consider it.

It's not that he didn't want to shoot him, but that at some point, he and Hershel actually thought an amputation could be done on a live, awake patient, with a knife, with no leverage, with no one to hold down the patient or sterilize the wound, in a townful of zombies. Not 2 minutes after said patient fired a rifle at your head. That is terrible crisis management.

Poor T-Dog, he's such a useless character that nobody can even remember his name.
Click to expand...

The thing I want to know is, what was the thought process in adding T-Dog. Did they really mean for him to be such useless character all these episodes? I think they probably meant to kill him off much sooner but they show would look semi bad without one black character. Have they ever spoke on T-Dog's role?

Yeah... the mindset and justification was confusing to me as well.
-Rick takes out the two dudes who were in the bar (guy behind the bar drew on him). Before that he was pretty strict about neither of these guys coming back to the farm with them regardless.
-Rick tries to find a non-violent solution to the armed men outside of the bar. It fails and they fire on them. At this point it should be safe to assume the entire 'outsider' group is like the two individuals that showed up at the bar, i.e. doing whatever it takes to survive, including killing other people and taking their shit.
-Fight for survival ensues (i.e. they need to get the hell out of there ASAP because these people are gunning for them.)
-Rick risks the group to not only save one of the shooters, but also bring him back to the camp for treatment.

I'm sorry, but in a situation as dire as that seemed (zombies coming from all directions), risking all of that for someone who was just trying to kill you was a dumb move, especially right after Rick proved he was willing to do what it takes to protect the group. Best thing they could have done was, as Hershel suggested, "put him down".

It's that type of writing that just frustrates the shit out of me. Look, we all know Rick isn't a bad guy. He's the hero of this show. I can't imagine anyone being disgusted or disappointed if he made the decision to either leave the shooter or put him down to prevent a gory, painful end like his shooter friend a few moments earlier. Saving him was a dumb risk and Rick knows better. I actually agreed with Crazy Shane on this one.

Uh what figures are you using for this? Because while, sure, it's doing incredibly for cable, numbers wise it gets beat by many things often. Quick example: in number of viewers shows like the voice and bbt double TWD
Click to expand...

After the show's continually record breaking numbers for season 2, Fox International (who handles distribution of the show worldwide outside of the US) sent letters to the set congratulating us and letting us know that TWD has moved to their number one priority in all of programming, claiming it as the most popular cable television show in the world.
 
Maaan that was such a good episode.

Daryl is quickly becoming my least favorite character though, hes a damn crybaby. Spazzing out on Sophias mother 24/7, I'd like to see him die.

But man.. Rick got those killer instinct in his eyes, I cant imagine this show without Shane

I prefer to think of it as Rick having to do these things to prove to himself that he is still the person he always was.

I think he really blames himself. I thought he was going to be the hero for once. You could see that mindset a bit when he was hallucinating his brother.
 
To me it just seems that the writing is what's holding back this show. The writing for these characters turns them into awkward, semi-uncanny valley representations of somewhat real people on screen, doing stupid things way too often (amputation, Lori going gun-hoe, crazy Shane, etc)

But people would be doing stupid things. People are stupid especially in a crisis. I'm not defending the writing because I somewhat agree, I'm just saiyan.
 
Shane still getting shat on. And now evil Lori positioning Rick against Shane. Dale being Dale...

Shane is faced with two problems:

1) Feeling like he's cornered.
2) Feelings for Lori and Carl and unborn baby.

Not sure how that's gonna get resolved considering Rick's nature. I feel like Rick has capacity to change, become a bit more "realistic". Which would satiate Shane's concern for safety, just the unresolved issues with the baby... can't have two men playing dad.
 
ShockingAlberto said:
If you view Lori and Shane's relationship as more than just this episode, it makes sense that she is creeped the fuck out by him and wants him gone. To her, Shane is the guy that lied about Rick's death to get in her pants, sexually assaulted her in the CDC, and keeps acting like he's her son's father (often phrasing things as "Me, you, and Carl," as if Carl is rightfully his as well, something that sets off alarms in her head as a mother). This is why Shane killing someone to save Carl is viewed differently from Rick killing someone to protect his family. To her, Shane is a crazy person who can't let her go and Rick is her husband and the father of her children.

She's pieced together enough to realize Shane doesn't want Rick back. So a little white lie about how Rick, whom she feared was in danger, was safe at the farm, was another indicator that Shane wanted her there without Rick and nothing else.
Click to expand...

Absolutely agree. I really can't see why people think she was manipulating Rick. I saw it more as a woman who has this dangerous person (who she thinks killed someone) getting really creepy towards her. I don't think she's all "ooh kill him Rick". I don't even think she wants him dead necessarily, she just wants Rick aware that Shane seems willing to kill people for her, and is probably willing to kill Rick. Giving Rick a heads up that the man he views as his best friend, and despite their problems with each other recently, the man he most likely still trusts to have his back, has been having some crazy thoughts lately. And I don't remember, but did Dale tell her about Shane holding Rick in his sights with the rifle? If he told her that, absolutely all the more reason for her to let Rick know.

Lori may not be the best character, but I don't think she's egging Rick on.

What I try and remember is that these characters, espically Rick, are trying to save some form of humanity. Watching people suffer and getting eaten to death is not pleasent and it's something that would weigh heavily on their minds. Yea, he killed those guy but they did draw first. They were not helplessly waiting to be devorued alive by zombies. It dosen't make perfect sense but humans are not perfect and can make rash decisons one minute and then crazy ones the next.

You know, I agree... but I felt like the whole Sophia thing really hammered that home. When he had to plant that bullet in her the realization that he has to step up, be a leader, and do what has to be done (and quickly) to survive followed... and strengthened with the bar scene. Now we are reverting back to Rick allowing his heart to get in the way of his survival sense and he's putting more people in danger by doing so.

I appreciate that battle he's having with himself, but it's also creating conflict for me because some of what Shane is doing I find myself nodding to. I want to dislike the guy because I feel the show is trying to force me to dislike him... but some of his reasoning makes sense to me. Maybe I'm a little crazy? :p

I was actually hoping Hershel would silently put the kid out of his misery. It would have been a great "I can get blood on my hands to protect the group, too" moment. *shrug*
 
Well, I think think that was the first episode that I've truly enjoyed this season. Twice as good as any of the other episodes from season 2 imo. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
 
The one thing I do feel that is lacking from the show, which in a way kind of defines the walking dead, is the fact that no character is safe. Kirkman was not afraid to kill primary characters out of nowhere, something I wish the show would do more often, even though there have only been ~12 episodes

To be fair, aside from Shane, they haven't exactly reached any of those critical points from the comics yet.

That's true, but they could even do the same thing with all of these non comic characters they've brought in.

I think it'd be fucking awesome if just all of a sudden Darryl just gets torn apart in the middle of a routine Walker attack. It'd really give the show that vibe of the comics of "Oh shit! They just killed the show's most popular character!"
