I absolutely hate Carl now. That scene where the girl almost killed the baby was absolutely gut-wrenching to watch. My wife cried. The show is just way too unpleasant now. I really like the new army guy (Bull from Band of Brothers!) and I love the girl that is following Glenn around (not the brand new girl but the relatively new girl).
Anyway, I bought the season so I'll keep on watching but of the last three episodes, only the last one was any good (in my opinion).
I was also confused as to how Michonne can walk among the dead so easily. But worse than that, and I've said this before, the whole ninja-stealth zombie thing is driving me nuts. They are in the middle of a forest during day time and a walker is all of a sudden right behind you?! I don't think so. You'd be also to see them 50 yards away, you'd be able to hear them 100 years away. Are the walkers holding their breath when they are waiting on the other side of a door?
gah, so much of the show just bugs me to no end. I loved Herschel too, this sucks.

I liked the Rick hiding under the bed thing. Considering Jeff Kober was on screen and he's too fun of an actor to waste and one of the group members will be able to identify Rick when he wakes up I'm sure this isn't the last we see of that group.
For those who haven't read the comics I'm not going to say much about the new characters. Other than point and laugh at the mullet. Haha!
The more time that goes by the more I'm looking forward to all the surviving character reunions.

The scenes with Rick in that house were fantastic. The show managed to make us feel like he was in serious, serious danger even though we never really saw the men at all. That's pretty impressive. And then you cut to some sloppy scenes of Glenn or Carl of whatever. The show has become a dog's breakfast

I want them to hook up too but I don't think they will because she's 17. But if she gets it in her head that she wants to drink because she never did, then I'm sure sex is not far away as the next impulse she'll have.
I just found the episode really boring and too introspective for shallow characters. I'm telling ya, Game of Thrones is totally ruining other TV shows for me. A simple conversation between two random characters in that show is more compelling that this entire episode of Walking Dead.
Worse than that, I think I'm actually starting to dislike the show at this point. I just don't care not identify with any of the characters. Glenn was so cool in season one and now he's so empty. Daryl has had zero progression as a character. I'm more confused than ever to why he was initially with the group in the first place, he's a loner like Michonne. When he was eating that mud snake, I think its the happiest I've ever seen him.
Ugh, I hope my wife burns out on the show this season as well so I don't have to buy the next season.

I really liked the opening with just Bob walking alone. The fog scene was okay. It didn't feel tense or anything. Just a regular walker attack. The hand-painting in blood was actually pretty gross. The No Parking sign kills were all great. Now I need to add a No Parking sign card to Last Night On Earth.
Was interesting they kept with the Darryl/Beth story this episode. On the plus side they didn't build Beth up last episode just to kill her off. I like it when she sings because it fits in a non-electric world. Since the car had a giant cross in the rear window and considering the location I'm guessing its the priest from the comics. Darryl opening the door without looking was a rookie horror movie mistake. The Jeff Kober gang are clearly bad guys and probably the ones that hit that camp in the Governor episode. Darryl is smart enough to know he'll never see Beth again unless he finds a lead by dumb luck. He may stick with the gang just to not deal with that.

I really liked this episode. I was super surprised that they kept up the Beth/Daryl thing back-to-back episodes. That was a really nice moment they were having when they were interupted. I have a feeling if and when they find each other again, that it will be pretty amazing. Especially if Daryl saves her.
The Bob stuff was great but I didn't like that they wrote and wrapped up the entire Maggie split in one clean episode. It felt too episodic. I think we could have been given an episode or two to worry if they were going to find each other.
Aren't no parking signs super heavy, especially with the metal pole? Those things don't blow over in wind.
Daryl accidentally cornering himself in the downstairs of the moritorium was really intense. He used those guerneys like a genius. So smart to flee. He knows what he's doing. I liked him grabbing his bolt out of the walker's head on the way back up the stairs like it was business as usual.
The shot of Beth playing the piano and signing with Daryl lying in a coffin was really nice. Did not feel campy or staged.
Really liked the opening and genesis of Bob. Hope we get more of those for other characters.

Apparently it's easy as hell to shove a knife, or even a stick, through a skull, so let's just roll with it.

Great episode and I actually havent read ahead in the comics yet so I have no clue what's coming at all. Glad to see Daryl revived and he damn well better stay that way this time.
Kinda like the anticipation of who will be left alive to meet up, and what the Terminus will end up being. Could be anything.
Also there's a "cure" in play now too, so that at least gives me hope that this whole series will come to an actual conclusion (hopefully before it's jumped the zombie shark).

Beth kidnap,is odd twist for sure. And Daryl with the dudes? We know something must happen for him to get back with Glen...but next few weeks will be fun to see what happens.
Australian signs say "No Standing" would have been a better joke as the walkers were beheaded

Made me shudder at every turn the whole episode! What will become of his newest group? Holy hell it is tense.

Now, see - I thought maybe it was just me. I had to go back and rewatch it. I actually think the beginning with Bob is a flashBACK to when he first joined the group at the prison.
Not sure if they could've done better to make that clearer, but I had the same reaction.
