You know, I've known people who've been through major wars and disasters and stuff when they were adolescents and they did not treat their parents like that whatsoever. He's being a brat. The kid is 13. If he was like sixteen seventeen I could see him challenging rick but he's like still real tiny. He's been messed up by Shane. I don't think it's a given that a teenager would be that cruel to his father as he dies

I mean I guess his behavior is within the realm of possibility but it's not like a biological given that teens are that retarded and mean in emergency situations Anyways Shane kind of came back through Carl for a while

One source of Carl's angst was that Rick just spent how long learning to become a farmer and didn't participate in any sort of activity that embraced the reality of the situation and even actively discouraged training to cope with the situation. Carl thinks Rick retreated from the world and didn't follow through with finishing the business with the Governor. It's not hard to think that all that rushed through his head after he got over the initial shock over the attack. Maybe it's because I marathoned the first half of the season on Sunday leading up to the premiere (never got around to watching it in the fall), but Carl's progression didn't seem all that jarring to me.

Same - she realized that the utility was no longer worth it, because the two walkers were just going to stick to the growing 'herd,' and unlike her, they were just going to keep on walking. She might be a Ninja Superwoman, but she's gotta sleep sometime. ...and it's not like she couldn't just do it again whenever she likes - there isn't a shortage of walkers.

I thought she freaked out because she couldnt go back to her only company being the dead thus why she ran back immediately to follow the tracks for the company of the living.

Tim Jong-un posted:I thought she freaked out because she couldnt go back to her only company being the dead. This. She realized she can't go back to her nomadic lifestyle she had pre-Andrea. She realized she needs people now. She realized if she stayed this course she would end up like that walker that looked like her. So she killed the walkers and went back to the tracks in the mud she saw earlier in the episode but chose to pass. And this time she followed them and ended up tracking down Rick and Carl.

Bigass Moth posted:I think it's pretty funny that Michone's zombie on a leash thing has been proven to work perfectly twice but nobody else has tried it and they didn't string up a bunch of jawless zombies at the perimeter of the prison even though their smell clearly covers human scent. I don't get how its supposed to work, if zombies are fooled by the scent of other zombies then only lone walkers would be any kind of threat...

TOOT BOOT posted:I don't get how its supposed to work, if zombies are fooled by the scent of other zombies then only lone walkers would be any kind of threat... I think it's more that they tend to go with groups, hence the herding. Alone a walker will be more curious, in a group they tend to be more, well, zombiefied. If Michonne got crazy around a walker it would notice her (as they all did once she started fighting) but while she is walking like a walker with other walkers they will just assume she's one of them.

I've come to the horrible conclusion that the show is now really poo poo. And I loved the Governor stuff in the previous season. It seems we're at the  "blandly stretch out the premise - because we are out of ideas" portion of the shows tenure.Michonne is awesome, but the dream sequence was pointless. The scene where she went from an emotionless "keep children away from me" hard-rear end to clutching the child in that previous episode told me about a billion things more than the dream sequence did. COOOOORLE is cool, but I don't need to see scene after scene of them searching houses and shops with the obligatory jump scares. You know what's interesting?, mixing it the gently caress up with new situations and moral conundrums. It doesn't even nessesarily need to be action. Done well, a small city of people who have [insert secret/issue] would completely change the dynamics of the show for a season because we (the viewers) can contrast it with our own lives. And sure you destroy the city at the end because we can't have our protagonists getting too comfortable. Or you have a successful xenophobic foreign encampment on American soil that they're not letting anybody into. And at least wait 7 episodes before the leader is revealed as a moustache-twirling villain. Or maybe a second breed of Zombies that differ in some way from the shamblers in that they can run, climb, or lock onto one person and stalk them for eternity or anything else. Bah.

The dream sequence - in combination with her monologue, her reaction to Judith and one conversation she had with Andrea last season - tell us that her husband and his friend lost hope and came up with a murder-suicide plot to "opt out", first victim of which was their son. It also explains why she was dragging them along as her mutilated undead slaves in the first place: as a form of punishment for said murder-suicide plot.

But I don't think the son was part of the murder-suicide though and probably died by accident or from a related issue. Because as she told Andrea (from what I can remember), what happened was "not his fault". And she talks to him - which you sort of wouldn't do if they killed your son. spikenigma fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Feb 11, 2014 |

There was a bit about "What's the point of living?

Sometimes it feels like most people don't actually listen to what's going on in this drat show (no offense to you.)

A pretty meandering episode. The Michonne stuff was a little better than the stupid things Carl was doing. It still feels to me like they could have condensed the episode more and folded it into another. I guess they're going to do this group split action for awhile? I hope more is going on with the bigger group. I'm also not sure how Rick was able to stay on his feet for that long after getting that beating. I never thought he would make it to that house under his own power.

Kids' minds aren't developed like adults' are. They are literally sub-human monsters. Carl can't separate the rage and frustration of potentially losing a parent from that parent. He was an rear end in a top hat at Rick because he was dying. It was probably some of the most realistic writing the show has had, but that doesn't always make great television.

gently caress yeah, I knew there was a reason why that one zombie that got a second of screen time off in the corner had way different makeup than the rest of them. I couldn't place the reference for the life of me, though. I liked the episode, but I don't really like Carl right now.

Maggie just lost someone close, so I think Beth and Glen are safe for now. And there ARE three black main characters at this point. Sadly, I'm betting on one of my Wire bros. Let's lock in with Tyreese, since Bob's ratmania still might have to come into play.
