I'm constantly disappointed in the dialog.  Rick and Daryl talking about "seeking out others" and their flipflop views on that.  Neither of them ever asks "Why?"  The simple question, "Why?" 

"Daryl, what is it about this Paul-Jesus guy that you don't care for?"  That never occurs.  Du-uh... taxing the writers to come up with imaginative scripts is obviously something they work hard to avoid.

So, we're about 2 years behind the comics, I think, is that right?  I can't get over any "shock & awe" over the "Richhone" hookup.  Jeez... that was indeed 2 years ago in the comics.  How could anyone IN THE CAST be 'caught unawares'?!!  Well, I guess that's why they're actors doing Promo's.

 Last night's episode was excellent. Maggie & Carol have become so bad-ass. I also loved Alicia Witt's character. Her demise was worthy of a Hammer Films Dracula exit. I know there's a lot of nit-picky people here who find fault in anything that happens on this show. I, for one, am very glad it exists. With two babies, they can keep this thing going for another generation. Repopulate the zombie apocalypse!

Very good "character" episode (but with plenty of time left for zombies). Too bad Alicia Witt's character was dispatched before we got to know her better.

Did anybody else picture an army of Neganittes coming to the rescue only to have 2 guys show up?

I'm with you all the way on this. I enjoy this show more than any other on TV these days. It was cool the way the viewer knew all along that Carol was faking weakness which left us to wonder "when and how will she make her move"? Very cool episode.

Agreed. She was "very interesting".

You're not the good guys... Best line of the episode, and something to ponder

Well, you know what they say. Every villain is the hero of his own story!

What was the quote?

I think that was it.

I wasn't sure. Thanks, Mike.
That quote creeped me out.

 Wow! Anyone else blown away by that "moment" last night? Really didn't see that coming.

(spoiler alert) I assume you mean the arrow incident?  That scene was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen on the Walking Dead. Actually, in general. It was not only  the surprise of the arrow, but when she uttered another word or 2 to finish her sentence. It was so real. Like the brain had already sent the message and even with the arrow, she still finished it. It was quite disturbing. Actually it has resonated with me since I saw it. If she had not uttered that last word or 2, I don't think it would have been nearly as bad.

 Exactly! With so many killings in the show, it's hard for one to have an impact. This one definitely did. I've thought about it many times after viewing it. It seemed so real. Hey, how about the "wiener-fest"? What a crack up!

I was totally shocked, and did not see that one coming. Wow! The Walking Dead keeps becoming a little darker with each episode. The
latest episode proves to expect the unexpected. I mean....in the past
we can only surmise which character will die. By Denise dying, that really shocked to the senses.

You're right. At this point, no death would shock me (not even Rick's). I like that. Most shows the heroes are invincible. There's not much suspense in that. In this show, anyone goes. They could even kill off a pregnant Maggie or even Rick's baby.

Same here, especially at that moment when she was just finishing her speech and then . . zing! Shocker!

Now the group is without a doctor, such as she was. Time to put up some flyers.

Yeah, the dick bite was funny! Eugene earned his stripes for that. :laugh:
