Put me in the camp of loving this season.
I'm not into this show because of zombie action. Sure, some of it is kinda cool, but I want more, and this show delivers more.
To me, the whole point of this show is the day to day happenings of this group of people thrust into this world that they wanted no part of. The decisions they have to make are what make this show interesting. Every decision has such grave consequences, you put yourself in their shoes, and you don't know what the hell you'd do. You think you would do one thing, but you're not 100 percent sure. Would I keep on looking for Sophia if I were them? I'd like to think I would, but as Shane said, it's simple math. Stuff like this is what makes the show for me. Love it.
I don't care that in the whole grand scheme of things not a lot has happened. I've been thoroughly entertained with these smaller stories. I thought Darryl's awful day was great drama. His scenes with his brother were very good.
By the way AMC, if you're going to bring back a character whose whereabouts have been a mystery for 10 or so episodes, how about you not put the person's name in the opening credits. Once I saw Michael Rooker's name at the beginning, I felt ripped off. The first image of him in the dream sequence would have made a lot better effect on me if I didn't know he was going to be in this episode. I digress.
I'm very happy with what they have done in this season and would be fine if Sophia's whereabouts isn't known unti season's end, or if at all. I don't need things wrapped up with a nice bow. Nothing wrong with a little mystery.
