Did you watch?

For a show on a non premium cable channel, I thought it was very good. I never read the comic, so I don't know how it compares, but I'll be watching every Sunday. pisses me off that I don't get AMC in HD though.

- We're back to gun-slinging Rick. What do you think?
I think if they're going to turn Rick into a farmer they could extend the storyline for more than 1-1/2 episodes.

I guess Rick had to get rid of the pigs anyway if they're tainted, but there was no reason to take them out in the truck when the zombies were leaving the fence just fine simply by going after Rick.

Who is burning bodies and feeding rats? Why, The Gov'na, of course!

Nah, can't be him, because he'd be smarter than to leave the rat bodies on the ground for Detective Daryl to easily find.

Rick's farmer days took place the entirety of the offseason, no reason to bore us with more farming episodes.

The pigs were tainted, or so we think, but they needed to get the zombies focused on something concretely away from the fence, for a while, so they could buttress it and not just wander back to the fence when Rick was too far. They needed blood.

I had thought about the Gov, but I don't see how he gets inside the fence, much less inside the prison.. someone said something about the little girls maybe feeding the walkers, because they gave them names and were treating them like people or pets. But there's no way they could drag out two people alone..

Carol is becoming a nut job with all her "YOU ARE WEAK!" to the 10 yo girl... She expects them to stab their own father in the head? Sure, we all know (including the girls) that he was GOING to be a walker, but he wasn't turned yet so the idea he was a threat would be tough too...

I just didn't like where Carol was going with all that...but the little girls is bat sh*t crazy too.

And it's unlikely the little girls would be catching and holding rats.

The whole Carol scene was dumb. Hey, come see your dad who is about to turn into a zombie and try to kill you. And you two girls should be the ones to stab him in the face. Because even though you have trouble stabbing anything right now, the first thing you should stab and the image you should keep in your mind for the rest of your lives is you stabbing your dad in the face.

I wanted to high-five the youngest one later out by the fence when she gave her sister a reality check. She's like a mini Daryl. I think that will be her new name: mini-Daryl.

I'm pretty sure I saw her in the trailer for the next episode riding an obnoxiously-loud motorcycle.

I just thought on it. What the deuce is up with Rick planting crops just on the other side of the fence not more than a few feet from bleeding or infectious zombies? If the blood were to ever seep into the soil and then get absorbed by the plans, what happens then?

They are all infected already...so I don't see how the infection getting in the soil and thus into the plants is going to make them sicker...I was wondering about that too when they were talking about the meat. It didn't make sense that they would all of a sudden say that the meat was killing them because it had the walker bug, since they ALL have the walker bug.

So in my mind, I like that they introduced a completely new virus and it makes sense... All the bleeding eye things have this new, not walker virus, but a virus that will kill you quickly and since you are already carrying the walker virus TOO...it is doubly tough.

Good point. And no practical scientists to study the virus so sounds like they're introducing a little Resident Evil into the mix.

The girls came in to say goodbye to their dad before he died, nothing wrong with that. Of course he died right after they came in and Carol told the girls to leave so she could do what had to be done. The girls were the ones that said it was their responsibility because he was family. Then the girl couldn't go through with it so Carol had to.

I must be a nut job too, because I think she's right. It a matter of survival, kill or be killed. (where have we heard that before)

Also, when the crazy b---- stabbed herself in the woods, on last week's episode, and Rick was just hanging around talking to her, I was practically yelling at the TV for him to smash her head with a rock.

Yeah, but she was going to let them do it and didn't put up a fight about it other than, "You sure?" And then when they went all girly and changed their minds, she did it in front of them and then they got all traumatized anyway.

The scene overall would have been fine, but the little ways things are done turned it into shake head

I mean, they have NEVER killed a walker before...so why not make the first person/thing you have ever killed/stabbed be your father before he has turned into a walker? That won't jack you up emotionally in a world already completely screwed up...

If she wants to desensitize them to the walkers, make them work the fence... I think the group is going to start to push for that (or hope at least).

I don't understand how they kill hundreds/thousands of walkers that are pushing up against the fence but yet there are not huge piles of bodies out in front...why are they going out there and moving them? Why not use them as a natural deterrent...just leave them in a pile to mask your smell and sounds.

Well, they would eventually just climb the pile, push higher up on the fence where there is less protection, and eventually topple the fence. Physics much? :wink:

But I think they really need to work a little harder at barricading the fence area. A little chainlink is not going to hold up to continued and constant pushing..

What do you think this is...World War Z?

EDIT: trying to remember that bridge scene...weren't the people just standing on a flat bed and being up that 3 feet made them safe because the walkers are that uncoordinated?
