Avast, lol.
I thought that was pretty cool when they lowered, jeez I have GOT to remember these names, that dude down
the well, and they were talking about plan B and he said, "not so fast..." How do you rope a zombie while you
are screaming and trying to climb the walls of the well? MAN, you know people are funny about what strikes them
and what they talk about in these threads. No one has said too much, or anything, about how screwed Lori is now
that she peed on that stick.

Ok, one thing that I noticed about the show is the carelessness of the group members with regard to getting infected. For example, Daryll hanging zombie ears on his neck? Or shooting and eating squirrels with the same arrows that he shoots zombies with? I know this is getting very picky, but I thought I should mention it, considering how I would handle ANY virus that could be passed through human fluids (AIDS, hepatitis, etc). Maybe they are just staying true to the novels?

Agreed! How many times have you watched him shoot a zombie in the head, pull the arrow out and reuse it? That's just reckless!

And keeping zombies like cattle is pure insanity!

Now we know why the doctor (Herschel (sp)) let the group stay in the house when they offered to sleep in the barn.

What was that about?!?

OLS · 11-15-2011, 09:55 AM

I don't think it's picky in the least to state that there is too little regard for body fluids.
When you set up a premise, as this one was set up, you need to feel like people are
pretty serious about abiding by it. When was it, the department store, when they said
"don't forget to wear the face-shield. You don't want that getting in your mouth, eyes
etc." And yet they get right in there and fight and swing clubs and bash incapacitated
zombies without even looking away or closing their eyes. But the arrow deal is the
funniest by far. I keep expecting him to pull it out of some zombies eye, slide it through
his mouth/lips, spit, and nock it right back onto the string.

I've thought about this issue before. But from what I can recall the only instance of them alluding to zombie blood getting into the bloodstream w/o a bite was the one you mention, Brad. Other that one instance, they are consistent to imply that blood in the eye, for example, won't affect you.

Plus I've think it interesting that they have never once to my knowledge called them "zombies". They are "walkers," which I think breaks down the terminology into a simplistic, survival term.

I also think we are itching closer and closer to a Shane betrayal and/or breakaway, at which I anticipate him to bring up that he slept with Lori and claim the baby as his

Well 40 mins or so of watching Darryl in the woods kinda bored me, only episode so far that I thought was ho hum.

Also Merle is the Evil Yoda lol

kelmac07 · 11-15-2011, 10:35 AM

Last episode was a huge let down.

Powers · 11-15-2011, 10:46 AM

I really enjoyed the last episode and particularly the dynamics w/Merle and Daryl. We're all different

11-15-2011, 12:48 PM

I think that episode 5 (the last one) was a big step up from episodes 3 and 4. Merle was a nice touch, and the whole "Shoot Darryl in the head" scene was interesting...indicates that lawyer's shouldn't be allowed to have guns

Seriously though...there was no tactical or logical justification for Andrea pulling the trigger. Sure, keep him in your sights, provide overwatch...great. But shooting the "walker" when you've got three very capable combatants closing on "it" is ridiculous. I think that Dale's "Don't be too hard on yourself" talk is bloody stupid. Even if it had been a walker, shooting it would have been the wrong decision.

I agree on both regards. Daryle has really evolved over the past two episodes, I initially pegged him as an abusive and selfish guy (like Merle) but when you consider the stories he told about him as child combined w/his dedication to finding Sophia, Daryle is a victim of his upbringing and finding Sophia is a way for him to come to terms w/his own past.

In Andrea's case, I think she was just trying to make a strong, independent decision and show "the boys" that she is not a weak dependent like the other women of the group have been so far

I agree, also she was trying to prove her point about being able to handle the gun and proving she can do it.

These are my thoughts exactly. This episode was great!

I agree...that's what she was trying to do....but if I were a member of that group, I would say that she only accomplished one thing by taking that shot....proving that even if has some skill with a rifle, she lacks the judgement required to be trusted with a firearm.

This is a great sentence. Initially I kind of rolled my eyes at even discussing this scene, it was so
simple, so awkward, so predictable. But I like this sentence, the scene is EXACTLY that. How many
different people specifically TOLD HER to cool her jets? Granted she is a woman and they were
all men, so it was not likely she was going to listen to them, they had taken her pistol away. But she
was gonna get that shot off. You could tell, however, with the glare, she never really paused
because she couldn't AIM properly, she was clearly waiting for an ID on the target, which was good.
But in the end, she did the hard-headed thing, like most humans.
