my favorite part was where the van went over the edge angled to where it would likely land front end first, or possibly on its roof, yet somehow did a full flip landing perfectly on its four tires.

Yeah, that one got me too. At the angle it went down there's absolutely no way it landed on all 4 tires unless it did a complete flip before hitting ground. They needed a big stunt for that episode though (Per the norm), so that was going to be it.

I thought they'd knock out the Beth hospital stuff in this episode, but it looks like it'll be delayed. Maybe that will be the mid-season finale, since it looks like a few weeks back Daryl returned to the church with his new buddy. They mount a rescue to end the season. I'm guessing next week now will be an update on Rick's crew along with some Beth and Carol, then everyone hits the hospital.

These damn half seasons go by too fast, probably because they spend so much time doing back story. Last season's 2nd half was all about the group split up and trying to get back together, lots of character buildings and such, not a lot of actual story. This season we've gotten more of the same, and honestly it seems like nothing much has happened outside of the cannibals arc. Character building to get close to characters means shit if nothing ever happens to them. Hershel died nearly a year ago, and before that I guess it was Andrea back in season 3. I kind of miss the "holy shit" moments like at the end of season 2 where most of Hershel's family was toast.

:slappy: That was so bad I'm surprised they didn't reshoot part of it or something...maybe they couldn't. But some clever editing would have at least made it not look so bad.

The episode was OK, but it was kind of a weird place for Carol backstory. I mean I know she was the focus of the episode, and the shelter nicely tied on to needing "shelter"...but the dialogue between her abd Daryl was awkward for the most part, and for fuck's sake STOP MUMBLING PEOPLE! WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD OF SHIT YOU ARE SAYING HALF THE TIME. On the flip side, I chuckled when they clearly edited out Daryl saying "FUCK how it used to be" to "<pause> how it used to be" :lol:

Speaking of the Carol backstory...the smoke. WTF was that all about? Every backstory scene with Carol, and there were 4-5 of them, she was following the smoke...and the camera panned on it obviously enough every time (usually by itself) to be an accident. I thought maybe it was because the fire Daryl set to burn the bodies would draw out the cops, but the gunshots did that...so what was the purpose of focusing on the smoke 4-5 times? There had to be one. Was it the whole "she was burned away, we ain't ashes" dialogue? Seems kind of inconsequential to me, but I guess it could be.

I believe it was her reflecting to when she burned the bodies. I kind of figured when they showed the scenes of the burned bodies when they do the catch up segment.

I expected more action. Maybe we will see it the next two episodes with everybody going to Atlanta.

Yeah, I think they were setting the whole thing up...now they reunite with Rick, he rallies the troops Al Pacino style in Any Given Sunday (seriously, I expect Rick to break out the "inches we need" speech soon), and they steamroll another pit of assclowns.

They are in danger of backing themselves into the same corner that House of Cards has though...if no person or group is any challenge to Rick's group, the show is pretty much over...need to find a group that poses a significant threat soon...moreso than the Governor even did at Woodbury.

I take it you never read the comics? There is an even more bad ass character than the governor, but they will probley keep it tame for cable TV with the language.

I have seen the "Cliff Notes" enough to know who you are talking about...but there is no guarantee when...or if...we will ever get to that person/place, especially give the pacing (or lack thereof) of this show.

They really need him to be like he is in the comics though...if they could find an actor that could pull off that kind of evil and allow him to really be the character, the show would be firing on all cylinders.
