Nope, episode is so bad that no comments can express how bad it was.

Good episode. Nice to see them do some exploration to the neighborhood. Also glad to see that secrets won't be drawn out for 7 episodes.

Dale may have stepped in some dookie with Shane. Didn't really think that confrontation through. ha ha.

And they should see the folly of using the drug store like it was a pre-zed drug store. After the attack they should have grabbed everything not nailed down.

not sure why it didnt bother me the first trip to the pharmacy (maybe bc i was too busy rooting for my boy getting some action) but i was like why the hell dont they just take everything in the pharmacy to save the trip.

im enjoying the show and I have read the comic, but man i dont remember hating so many characters. I like Norman's character, Glenn, the black guy, and rick even tho hes getting on my nerves bc hes so damn whiny. maybe its been awhile since i read the comics but i dont remember so many of them being unlikeable.

How does Maggie not see that zombie right in front of her? Glenn hacking the shit out of it was pretty awesome though.

The number of "oh shit, a giant herd of zombies just showed up out of nowhere" attacks is getting annoying.

I've been noticing this episode, some really great shots and camera work.

Religious folk. They opt to take only what they need at the time in case someone else comes along and needs something.

Zombies: "Aw, chicken for dinner AGAIN?"

Dale is beginning to piss me off.

A much better episode though it looks like Sophia will continue to be dragged on.

To be fair, without his shenanigans this episode the plot would have progressed even less than it did.

I may have missed it, but how long has it roughly been since Sophia went missing? Carl was all chipper and healthy-looking so we have to assume quite some time has passed, no?

At this point, I just want someone - ANYONE - to die, if only to give us a false illusion that anything can happen to these people. There are a lot of things I've enjoyed about this series thus far, but the lack of true suspense is not one of them. If this makes any sense, I feel that they are doing a decent job with character conflict and creating tension, but I'm just not extracting any suspense from it all, probably because I'm finding it difficult to care about any of the characters. It also doesn't help that I'm watching this alongside Homeland and Dexter, the latter of which also has a lot of characters that just plain stink.

I found myself laughing quite a bit during this episode too. I'm honestly enjoying the show, but I don't know if it's quite in the way they intended.

I was thinking the same thing. In the first season, despite only being 6 episodes, we saw a lot of characters established and still die as the group traveled. We haven't really seen that at all this season, with I think the only human death being Otis which wasn't exactly a big shock.

There are plenty of zombie motion picture alternatives that are basically clones of each other where it's just mindless shoot em up...and no character attachment. It's great to finally have a zombie alternative like The Walking Dead series for a change.

Can't wait for next week. It's going to be hell though after that, waiting till Feb for it to come back.

I don't know if it's real or not, but if it is there's a picture floating around that is a huge spoiler for next week so be careful if you go to any other boards.

Maybe I missed it, but why were Shane and Andrea in that neighborhood to begin with? Surely they coukd have found a better spot to pick off walkers if that was their intention.

I enjoyed the episode overall, but groaned when time slowed down as Andrea started shooting the zombies in the head. So cheesy.

And what the fuck is Herschel's problem? Stop being a selfish dick, there's more advantages to having them stay than not.

The "New" people are a threat to his power, as the leaders are young and strong. They are a threat to the moral compass of his group. Having weapons and zero restraint, they are a threat to his zombified family. I think the writers have done a great job at portraying the differences between the two groups.

I am enjoying the character development. Yeah, it's a bit slow at times.

Dale is only character that annoys me. His eyes and mouth are always wide open, as if what he is going to say is profound. He is a horrible actor.

They don't have a budget to handle a thousand zombie rush of the farm ... man that would be an awesome season finale.
