Rick will never be happy with anything... Honestly, I thought that Woodbury was a fine place to live out the rest of my days. But people got all worked up that they had zombie gladiator fights 
I agree, there will be some rule or power structure that gets Rick all worked up and off they go again.

The title of the show tells you they will always be on the move.

Could you guys put these statement in spoilers please! I know you are not being descriptive about this character, but some people like me who don't read the comics don't want to know anything at all, even if its a small tidbit.
Thanks!
Or maybe have a 'The Walking Dead' Comic Book Spoiler thread so you guys can talk about stuff that is in the comic book and how it relates to the show.

I know there's a spoiler thread, but I have to mention this here.

I guess I'm the only one who is looking forward to [comics]
[/comics].
The episode was pretty good. Rick was absolutely right not to trust that guy. I liked Michonne better when she just grunted instead of forming words. I think the main problem with this show is the writers don't know how to write for large casts. Too many characters stuck in the background too often and the only way they get screentime is by splitting everyone up and leaving half the cast out of each episode.

Huh ... Peoplesauce?
And won't always be alive ...
I tend to agree with this. I've been gradually working up to seeing Rick as an insufferable douche. I actually got about midway through episode and gave up -- I moved full on into rooting for him to die. However, by the end I did start to see him in a different light. I began to see him as a soldier with PTSD after the war is over. Their war may or may not be over, but can he ever readjust to a society? At one point in the show there was debate amongst the characters over whether or not a person could "come back." It looks as if we are headed down that road again.
As for the episode itself, too much B-grade schlocky horror for me. The parts that advanced the story were well done though. Yes, the flare zombie was pretty kick-ass!

Even Dane Cook said in his comedy act that he has 2 twitter accounts, his normal one, and then the one with an 'egg' where he can talk shit to people.

Probably just an exclamation like "Oh my God" or some such.
This show has had the one lesbian character on it for at least a season now. She hasn't engaged in any sexuality activity of any proclivity, but it's pretty obvious that she's gay. In any case, given that show routinely has horrible forms of mutilation and violence that you probably couldn't have show in an R-rated movies in the 80s, but gay people, oh noes
.
I maintain my view that if something takes less than 160 characters to talk about, it probably isn't worth discussing

Shouldn't Judith be close to walking around by now?

I hope they don't rush to the next baddie in the series. I would be cool with a whole season of them exploring DC looking for remnants of the government.

.2) Only obvious if you saw that particular episode. Honestly, I had completely forgotten she was gay. I won't bash the writers as I usually do. To be fair, there is no reason for us to remember. It has had no relevance.
3) Agreed!

Just caught up on this. The usual Walking Dead. The real standout was the nighttime interrogation/drive, until they meet the other half of the group. That might have been the best zombie action yet.

I am happy that the gay couple were in the original comic as my initial reaction was another excellent series with a gay couple or scene crowbarred into the series due the amazingly large population of gay writers in television. If you came from another planet and watched American television, you woukd think gay men represent 30-40% of the male population. Its overrepresented now imho.
