It was a perfect episode coming out of the break. This series is not about Zombies, it's about the Survivors. I've now realized this. This episode did a great job of reintroducing everyone and making you realize there is more out there to deal with than just Walkers.



Rick is now the true badass. He makes Shane look like scared kid. COLD BLOODED SON. Loved the ending.

Very true. I think if you accept that premise, the zombies are a plus. It has been long enough now where the character development is fascinating and your trying to figure everyone out. I think that is why Darryl is so popular...he is all over the board. Either way, one of the producers was on Talking Dead and promised tons of zombies in the last five episodes, so we should get a bit of everything. And all the reviews from those who have already seen it claim this half of the season to be mind blowing.

Dave Navarro was cracking me up with the seriousness he was discussing the episode

Considering my baser instincts generally prevail over a woman's rationale and usefulness in a world not in a state of zombie apocalypse, I am fairly certain I would be trying to knock Lauri up too in such an apocalyptic world.

I do see your point though...I think they are screwing up her character so bad. She is supposed to be confused and conflicted. Instead, she makes incredibly stupid decisions, contradicts herself, and is perpetually hypocritical. "Rick, why would you not tell me Herschel doesn't want us on the farm? How could you keep that from me?" Oh idk...the same way you don't tell your husband about the baby in your belly and your abortion pills :roll2:

This has become the show I most love to hate, but not nearly as much as "Gabe" does:

Why hasn't anyone realized that girl got bit...she isn't in shock.

If that girl isn't gnawing on Herschel by 9:30PM next Sunday, I'm gonna track their writers down and go all Shane on them. HOW is it possible to be living in Zombie Reality and have this catatonic girl "burning up with fever" after mud wrestling with zombie mommy and not even consider the possibility that she might be infected???

Don't even get me started on how preposterous it was for Lori to run into town after Rick instead of just waiting for him so that--what? So that he could bring Herschel back five minutes sooner than he was going to anyway?

What did she think the guys were gonna do in town instead of coming right back? Take in Apocalypse Now at the multiplex & drop in for some buffalo wings at the Zombieville Hooters?

How many trips do you figure they can make into town with the abundant supply of gasoline that apparently exists? Between Herschel, Rick & Glen, and Lori (granted, she only made it about 100 yards from the farm), that's three vehicles expended on this one trip. It's called carpooling, people. Read up on it.

(Never mind that if I lived on that farm, there would be zero reason to ever go into town again, because the first time I came back from town there wouldn't have been so much as a travel-sized bottle of mouthwash or a jar of cocktail onions left back there.)

I'm really starting to think this show is some kind of social experiment in which the creators try to determine how much illogical, contradictory, irrational behavior they can inject into each episode and still retain viewers.

Alternate Explanation: TWD's producers heard the Infinite Monkey theorem, that if you have an infinite number of monkeys working randomly at an infinite number of typewriters, that one of them will eventually reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare. This sounded to the producers like an efficient method of creating scripts. Problem was, after the AMC budget cuts, they could only afford a finite number of monkeys.
