I laughed and had to rewind when I saw something moving in the background of one of Maggie's scenes. It was a vehicle of some sort that they didn't want in the shot.

It was a decent episode. Agreed with Jay that psycho girl killed the adults and Carole helped her dispose of the bodies.

I am baffled by people who raise an eyebrow at characters on the show making questionable - or downright stupid - decisions when surrounded by zombies. As if bad decisions weren't a reasonable possibility in those circumstances? Maybe Tyrese just made the wrong call under pressure.

What if a character dies in an episode and then just re-appears a few episodes later never explained or the governor actor is brought in to play another character.

Well, it has worked before...

Ha! I did the exact same thing!

Exactly. People make stupid decisions all the time, every day in real life when they are not under any pressure.

Leaving kids in cars when it's 30 above or below. Feeding bears and then being attacked by those same bears. Drinking while pregnant and on and on. Stupid things like that, that make you shake your head and think what the #### were you thinking. The Off Topic forum is loaded with stupid people stories.

So why is it so unbelievable or poor writing when a character in a show does something some find stupid...

Someone made a comment earlier that the writers are just pandering to the comics. You do know this is based on the comics right?!? Come on dude!

Sorry, that just made me scratch my head...

That's all I have to add.

Why? Because she's a kid who has become a sociopath in a zombie apocalypse?

What a strange thing to say.

Because she's an annoying character that the writers are using to build the Carol drama. 10-12 year old girls rarely overnight become hardened killers. That said she can act. The younger girl badly needs a few acting lessons.

Haha. Actually I totally buy that and I think there would actually be more people like that in this world, I just don't like it. Gives me a bad vibe. There's enough evil in this world and I don't like when kids are portrayed that way, realistic, plausible or not. It's not a strange thing to say, it's just my opinion.

[Daradon]

I kinda like that girl. The part with Judith crying was creepy, but still understandable. There's plenty of times in recorded history where family members, even mothers, smothered their babies when hiding from soldiers in occupied areas.

It's creepy as hell to watch as it's happening, but in the grand scheme of things, is one infant living (who will die anyway, when the other people are found) worth having two, three, a dozen other people killed?

Guess what, if the zombies kill the girls, they aren't going to leave Judith unharmed. Nor can a baby live on it's own anyway.

That scene actually kinda saved the episode for me. Though, I think it was better than the first episode. Carol magically appearing sucked, though it's good to have her back. Thought she would be soon though.

But they probably didn't have an evil grin on their faces when they were doing it.

Haha, fair enough.

Yeah, I'm not sure what I'd call that look she gave. I guess evil would be the simplest, it felt a bit more conflicted than that to me, but I do get what you are saying. It was concerning to see for sure!

I wouldn't call it overnight, this has been building since she couldn't put her dad down after he got bit. Couldn't kill dad, feed zombies rats, put down 2 sick people, mutilate animals, almost suffocate a baby.

I would really like to make a comic reference on this one, but everyone gets so uppity when you do that. All I will say is they are paralleling something that happened there.

[Yamer]

Just when I start to get sucked back into the story the stupidity of the characters drives me right out of the narrative.

[Wormius]

I am liking this Abraham story arc. I hope it goes somewhere.

[kirant]

There is something off with Eugene. I would even go as far as to suggest he's not even a scientist given the completely vague information he's given to Abraham/Rosita. Why bother holding secrets now?

[ken0042]

Unless he is somewhat responsible for things being the way they are. I can imagine a lot of people wouldn't be happy with him if they found out he played a key role. So maybe they don't tell everybody they meet right away.

That seems possible. I keep forgetting they never really discuss how the zombies came about.

That would drive my crazy from a logistics standpoint if the government had knowledge (he did say he was working with the government, right? Or was it just "with guys in DC"?), didn't inform the CDC, and had it work on figuring out the origin of zombies. Though I guess it'd hardly be the largest aberration of consistency in the show.

I am not sure if that's really implied though. He was kind of flippant in his comments to Abraham. It's a stretch, but that could just be that he knows Abraham isn't very smart and wouldn't understand his reasoning.

Or, in an ironic twist he's impersonating a scientist just to string Abraham along and get a ride to Washington to find his own wife.

[Teh_Bandwagoner]

The last two episodes have been hit and miss for me. But I think that's not unexpected since we have basically 4 or 5 short-stories running concurrently.

In the last episode, the Darryl and Beth storyline didn't really serve much purpose, wandering around aimlessly in the woods. My guess was it was just to give Darryl some air-time. They could have just as easily stuck it in next week's episode, which looks like it's going to focus on them.

The Tyrese storyline was kinda meh to me as well. I gotta say that psycho girl is a pretty intriguing character. I also assume that in upcoming episodes they'll play up the Tyrese/Carol tension that got cut off prior to the prison invasion.

Glenn and that girl escaping the prison and meeting Abraham has been very cool so far. I like that storyline the most so far I think.

Maggie storming the bus looking for Glenn was also awesome.

The Rick/Carl/Michonne storyline has been up and down. It's really weird the 180 the Michonne character has done. I like the more cheery version of Michonne, but the swing from broody to cheery was way too sudden. Having those hillbillies invade the house was awesome though. I loved the whole zombie time bomb Rick left in the bathroom. That was pretty smart.

[speede5]

Except it made no sense that a group who were obviously together for a while would invade the house and one would just go and murder the other to sleep on the bed. Did I miss something, cause that was way to random and pointless.
