Someone needs to tell them . . .

a) A 'scope on a rifle is for looking through, not looking over, when you're shooting at the enemy; and

b) Full auto is not a good choice for precision fire at long distance.

I was really disappointed in that episode.
Anyone notice where the little ninja went that jumped out of the box truck?

Never saw the driver after he ran after Michonne and didn't get her.  Did driver ninja run back out the smashed gates, perhaps?  If not, he/she will make himself/herself known later.  Or, it was a hell of a continuity error.

I enjoyed it. Didn't see driver escape; seemed to run into the  facility, so I'm thinking infiltration.

Not even going to comment on gun handling/tactics, because why?

Poor cover. Just getting his life turned around, learning how to talk to girls, finding snazzy duds to wear, then blamo! He becomes cover.

Cool poster.

Thread drift:  "then" <> "than", "then" <> "than", "then" <> "than", "then" <> "than", "then" <> "than", "then" <> "than", "then" <> "than", "then" <> "than", "then" <> "than", and "then" <> "than".  Slight goober in an otherwise neat poster.

Getting real tired of seeing that, even in news stories supposedly written and edited by professionals.  I suspect TDPTB will change the dictionaries in the near future to accommodate this common usage.

Snipers engaged the people in the prison and a panel truck busted through the gate.  After a sufficient amount of dramatic music had built up the tension, a ramp unfolded and zombies-- er, "walkers" came out of the truck and started stumbling after our heros.
Not really a bad tactic, made worse by the fact some of "our heros" were outside when they didn't have to be.  Add to that few people know how to use full auto vs. semi effectively ........  :-X

I don't.  She didn't know where the guv was (remember the scenes in town with tea-boy).  She was also lobbying to visit the prison.  I don't see her finding the guv and coming up with such an audacious plan on such short notice.

Others have speculated re: Andrea. Anything's possible, but she had to: find out about the raid; stow away on the truck or replace planned occupant; find ninja costume; overcome her internal angsty conflict. All while being observed by "tea-boy" (nice phrase). I'm not seeing it.

Me either.  I think the costume was merely protection for someone who would be driving a vehicle full of biters.

Yup, in the beginning of the movie 28 Days Later, there are people dressed for resisting biters, you would think there would be more of that...downsides are ( I guess ) to hot to be comfortable, not enough flesh shown for profitable TV
