Anyways, fuck Maggie for giving away the Prison when so little was done to her and for Glen for having his monthly.

Actually Maggie gave away the location of the prison when The Governor was seconds away from blowing Glenn's brains out.

I doubt it was Andrea. No way is she "Der her her where the governor?" one moment and plowing down the prison to kill her friends the next.

Yeah, she was willing to keep silent even in the face of rape. Would Glen have stayed quiet if the gun was on Maggie? I think that would have broken either one of them.

Definitely. Maggie was most assuredly willing to take whatever sexual abuse that came to her, but once Glenn had the gun to him it was all bets off.

Sure seems like a lot more; pretty much everyone has been dealing zombie head shots like it was nothing.

Why is Maggie so angry at her boyfriend? I understand she went through some traumatizing shit, but isn't she used to that at this point? They're all going through horrible shit and she's acting like a baby.

This was pretty much cleared up on Talking Dead. She's pissed at Glenn because he is acting like the rape victim, instead of just being there for her.

The girl in Woodbury was just boosting about her skill, when she in fact she obviously had very little. Andrea, stupidly, jumped over the fence to show her how it was done.

Whoever was driving the truck looked to be female, but it wasn't Andrea. I'm more curious how the guy got in the guard tower which was inside the fence? Perhaps I missed it?

She was sexually assaulted. You can argue it all you want but different countries have different interpretations on what constitutes rape.

Lol, the Andrea hate continues. If Carl had done that everyone would be cheering him for not wasting time and just getting it done.

Yup. Although no penetration took place, she was threatened with a forced sexual encounter. However, what broke her was when Glenn's life was threatened.

Yeah, it would make no sense for it to be Andrea. The Governor clearly wanted her to be 'in the dark' as to what was going on, and her turning on the whole group like that would be ridiculous.

Nope. I would've mentioned how Carl continued to do stupid things that put himself and everyone else in jeopardy.

TBH, I was hoping he'd get popped in the shootout, though I knew it wouldn't happen.

OK, it was a joke about a work of fiction. If it bothered me that much, I'd stop watching. I was joking about it, kind of like how the grass is always cut and the vehicles always seem to be undamaged and pristine. It was a joke. About something fictitious that doesn't exist in reality. If I'd know it would irritate so many people, I wouldn't have said it.

They had that big sequence at the beginning of the season where they killed the zombies as a unit, I'd have to imagine it's something they all have to do pretty regularly, though not necessarily with the guns, they probably have to conserve ammo too. How'd the Governor get someone into the guard tower, die he go in through the back entrance that Tyrese and co. used?

Thank you for bringing this up ... it's been driving me up a wall. Why would somebody be dressed like that to drive a truck? Why make a point of showing the driver like that? Where the hell did she go afterwards?

(Yes, I agree it was a she ... I thought maybe it was Andrea and this was her way of getting back to her friends without "walking away" from Woodbury.)

My first reaction was that the bundled up woman coming from the taco truck would turn out to be Andrea, but then I quickly remembered her talking to Dilton about where the Govoner was (as well as the fact she wouldn't turn on the group like that so quickly).

Most likely, the driver was bundled up like that since she was in a van full of zombies, and she was covered up to protect against being bitten should they have broken through the back of the van. Protection similar to the duct tape Merrle and Dilton wrapped around their arms when they rounded up those zombies for his experiment.

I bet the mystery driver is Dilton. He's kinda effeminate.

My fucking god, if one more person drives around in a car with the windows down on this show, I am going to lose it. Seriously (well, not really), what the hell? Rule number one of driver 101 during a zombie outbreak is LOCK YOUR FREAKING DOOR AND ROLL UP YOUR DAMN WINDOWS!

It seems like every time they drive somewhere their windows are at least partially rolled down. At this point I'm rooting for the damn walkers...

On a side note, my wife thinks I am crazy for noticing this every time it happens. Just like she thought it was crazy when I got annoyed by Jack from Lost and his horrible habit of showering and getting dressed without drying off first....:D

Actually driving bothers the crap out of me. In the mass panic that would have ensued every drop of gas would have been used up within weeks, and there would be none to find, yet they drive around like Arco is a "dead free" zone or something.

Uh, maybe because they were going to be driving a truck into a prison that would be filled with walkers and people with guns?! Maybe because they were going on what, by all accounts, could only be classified as a suicide mission?!

Are you insane? Is this a serious question?

Quite apart from being protected from the walkers, she's have to then stroll out the gate during a gunfight, I'm sure she'd want to be protected as much as humanly possible.

Yeah, they're driving around pretty much constantly (and in pristine product placement cars too), I am a bit curious where they're getting all of the fuel. They did mention siphoning the fuel out other vehicles at some point last season, but they haven't brought it up since. Granted, they're probably pretty well protected within the prison, but they still have to make their runs for supplies. Incidentally, has no one in post-apocalyptic stories ever heard of bicycles?

Bicycles offer no protection from zombies, and there is no way to protect your self while riding.

You ever walk in New York and almost walk in to a delivery man on a bicycle? It's very easy to be stopped and or fall off a bicycle thanks to one lone stray New Yorker who almost crashes in to them. Now imagine riding a bicycle in to thirty diseased walkers trying to eat you.

Walking is the best bet, at that point.

UNLESS you're riding in the outskirts and are a skilled bicyclist. Otherwise, a skate board is just as effective a getaway mobile.

They're a hell of a lot faster than walking though, and they never run out of gas. It's not just this show, nearly all post-apocalyptic stuff tends to ignore it.

New York? I'm from the suburbs :D! I admit to little experience with big cities, but it seems to me when they're trying to make runs toget formula, etc. from town, it'd be less likely to waste fuel. It seems line there're lots of wide open fields and such where they are.

I don't know. For me, walking is still the best bet. You can't hide a bike.

People still believe this? It depends on your driving speed. It can be more fuel efficient to drive with the windows up and the AC on.
