I knew you guys would be all over the physics of the van. Ridiculous. That might be the second most insultingly stupid thing this show has done. (Nothing will ever top trying to lasso a zombie out of a well.)

I had a small problem with it flipping completely around and landing on the tires....but the bigger problem I had was them even getting caught there. The two of them know better than to fuck around that long while a horde approaches.

and even once caught.. i couldnt understand why you would just break out one of those back windows and proceed to spend the next 20 minutes stabbing them in the head one by one since they couldnt get their mouths high enough to hurt you.

As a native Atlantan, I enjoyed the episode. It did make Atlanta look like Birmingham, though. We actually have lots of buildings here that were built after 1982. Apparently, none of the WD shooting was done north of downtown.

What did she say about Sophia? I must have missed it.

The place she took Darryl was a domestic abuse center and she admitted to bringing Sophia there when Ed would abuse her. Maybe I watch the show too much but this was alluded to more than once regarding Sophia not wanting to be around her dad.

But I definitely agree on the van soon...stupid to even get in that situation and the ridiculous part was the angle it fell at...I will suspend belief if it tipped straight and landed somewhat straight on the wheels. If it didn't go right in the stunt, just show them clutching hands or something in the seats, some blur, and then it landing on the wheels. JFC that annoyed me right away. As to letting the walkers get in that close...I think they were just showing that Darryl was willing to finally make a dumb decision to find Beth (he cares about her?...I guess that is what we were supposed to learn in those painfully slow episodes). The walkers that went with it were presumably the ones grasped onto the van and the rest stopped since they weren't attached. Still a dumbass scene.

The smoke was a mix between the bodies burned scenes and her returning to the prison after it was attacked. If you recall, Rick sent her packing due to the body burning before the Governor attacked. The Carroll recall had her returning to the prison (it showed the prison sign on her drive in), but she was driving to the smoke. The smoke was from the tank shots from Governor's crew and the gunfire was all the fighting. I think she tried to come back to help but was too late.

Overall, I agree that the nonstop backstories just slow the show down to an intolerable pace. The last episode was not awful but I also feel betrayed after the first 3 AMAZING episodes...those 3 might have been my favorites of the show thus far. Then they completely kill off the arc and go back to the same shit. Last season, the virus took off and created a new element, but died off quick to go back to the worn out Mayberry holdovers. The trend needs to break soon.

Can we change the title of this threat to "show everyone hates, yet still bitches about it, ps, it's on AMC"

I have enjoyed the fact that they have tried to get back on track with the graphic novels, but it's a tough go. Look, a few years ago CBS tried a show called Jericho, it rocked the first season, hell I will say the first season was fantastic. The second season, well, the ran out of bat shit crazy and it turned into a drama. You don't like the show? Don't watch it, if you're entire life is watching something that sucks and you hate, well, let's just say your coach shouldn't be wearing scarlet and grey.

Anyways, this thread sucks.

Jericho kicked ass, but got the axe after one season until there was fan outrage. They then hurriedly threw together some stuff were told they were cancelled again and then quickly wrapped up the show. But fear not, you can watch as much survivor and amazing race as you can handle.

We watched the first season and it was glorious. Then they tried to go cheap with the biggest cash cow on basic cable and fucked up a great show. I kept watching right up until the fourth episode of this season hoping they'd unfuck themselves but they didn't.

This thread may suck, but the show created it.

It's like the scene from "I'm gonna get you sucka" where Keenan Ivory Wayans takes the good looking chick back to her place thinking he's going to have a nice night with a hot chick, and it ends with him sad and confused as she removes her prosthetic leg. It turned into a shitty night, but it was her fault.

So...I take by the lack of comments that people agree with me that last night's show had basically nothing in it? :lol: What was the highlight, a yo-yo? Of course I knew this episode was destined for nothingness when all the hype for this week was "just one episode left until the mid-season finale". So Father Gabriel is now running around like a moron, what do we think he's going to do...run into the cops? Find a new set of villains? I can't think he's just going to get offed, that seems way too convenient. And will the church get overrun through the hole in the floor?

Was anyone else hoping that Booger Red grabbed his gun instead of the water at the end of the episode? It would have at least been more interesting if he had wasted Maggie before the others got back. At this point any action is better than no action. A yo-yo? Fishing? What is this summer camp?

And you feel the same way about the Reds thread? The Indians thread? The Browns? The Cavs? Why do we talk about anything?

Dont forget the all too predictable
Rick - "Kill'm all"
Everyone else - "well lets try to negotiate"

then comes the inevitable "suckering" of one of the group, gets knocked out and one of the people escape.
