Yeah I think he wanted to shoot them, or draw them away then sneak back to the house.

Yeah, I guess so... But it really just looked as if he was taking his walkers for a walk...


Pretty good episode last night. Interesting to see all of the dynamics working out with the small groups.

VERY interesting that Rick, Carl, and Michonne weren't represented last night at all. I guess since they're safe and eating pudding, all is well.

The pattern seems to be focusing on 2-3 "groups" per episode. More time for character development, I suppose. They're doing well with the reveals as we learn specific characters survived. All with the addition of a couple of new story arcs. A lot packed into two episodes.

No, from what I heard, ex-military type ... I think.  Not bad guy; tough guy.  We'll see.

Carol's angel, psycho girl Lizzie, some how caught 3 baby rabbits and silently stabbed them to death, leaving them on a log. She may have been the prison rat feeder and possibly executed Tyrese's friend Karen, which Carol covered up by burning the bodies.

But Carol already confessed to killing the first two plague victims, for which Rick banished her.

But, Lizzie really seemed to be getting into that scene with Judith...

Plausible.  That little bitch is crazy.   She also took a whack at smothering the baby, too.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

3/16 episode:   even by WD standards, that was depressing.

No *expletive deleted*. Just when you thought the writers couldn't trainwreck your emotions any harder.

They have certainly stepped it up.  Here's a nugget of faith in humanity....psych, fooled ya!




Also, it illustrates the difference between network and cable shows anymore.  For all that is wrong with TWD, where it counts they step up.  Network shows have become too formulaic, too much of the same old *expletive deleted*.  With no real risks, no real emotional hook.  Just when a network show has you on the hook, it turns campy or the "tragic" turn is so *expletive deleted* predictable.
TWD? Dead baby.  Nope, live baby!
Hershel, the grandfather you never had?  Nope, headless Hershel!
Psycho little girl rounds the emotional corner?  Nope, dead sister!

I had my doubts to the format for the second half of the season.  No more.

And the zombies on the roof never hit one of the many, many soft spots in their aimless wanderings until the living people showed up, and they never all gathered on one side of the roof - much less fell off - attracted by some outside noise . . .

Also notice how some of the children think zombies are cute and deserve names, and think it's OK to wave at them and attract them without killing them. :facepalm:

We'll see how this plot line - and the kids'  interaction with Carl - play out over the course of the season.


Now we know how it played out with the kids, Hank...

Very very rough indeed.  And Tyreese forgave Carol; I did see that coming though ... I guess you can't solve everything by gun when you need a group to survive. [tinfoil]

I almost felt like he was just damning her to live with the consequences of Lizzie's ending.

Agree/Disagree. She was already damned by surviving in such a crappy world, while I think he came to understand the quandary that prompted her prior decision, as the best of a list of bad choices.

Carol only did what needed to be doing, though I might have done the doing much earlier than she did.
I saw Lizzie as the embodiment of toxic moral relatism.

Holy crap, that was dark. Although I also thought what happened to Lizzie was "good" in the same way that it was "good" for how George took care of Lennie at the end, in "Of Mice and Men".
