Discussing the show and past episodes is fine. Do not put things that have happened in the TV series in spoilers. However, don't spoil things from the books that may happen in future episodes. Put book spoilers in spoiler tags with a CLEAR WARNING that it is from the book. | ||

Really? Build a 10 FOOT Wall with what manpower and what material? Even if the farm was only something insanely small like 300 square feet that would still be a damn near impossible task. Cut down trees for material or break apart older structures like the barn. It would be a lot of work, but in this type of situation, you need to start thinking long term. Like I said, I would limit it to just around the farmhouse. Fences/walls are not particularly hard to build and with 10+ workers going 8 hours a day it is a very achievable goal. Considering the Walkers do little other than march in a straight line when undisturbed, a permanent wall would guaranteed long term security for the farmhouse. | ||

I'd bet that if they knew they would be there long term then they would start fortifying the place a bit once they had some free time. Considering that Hershel has been adamant that they should leave once they find Sophia then it doesn't make sense to start breaking their backs to build a wall on a property that they won't be living at. | ||

I liked this episode, but I'm more willing to overlook small stuff if awesome stuff happens. If they'd tighten everything up A LOT, the show would be soo good. At least it always ends on a good note though. If the constant gunfire from their shooting practice didn't give them away, I'm not sure the smoke will do anything. As far as I know, zombies can't really decipher the meaning of smoke equalling the presence people. The writers of this show need to read up on their Zombie Survival Guide though... so many rookie mistakes. I liked the bar scene because I think anything that shifts the focus to how fucked up the world will become in times of apocalypse is a good thing from a realism point of view. | ||

And they have to leave the farm. It's good they got a break but it's too safe there. The show was better when they had to fight to survive. | ||

That has got to be one of the silliest things I have ever read in this thread. The characters in this show ARE rookies. They've only been in this for a few weeks. Every action they take is completely plausible for characters who live in a world without constant zombie movies/survival guides. | ||

It wouldnt take that long to make a fence, especially with all those people.... I dont think hes talking like a brick or cement wall. My Dad and I built a 2000 yard wood fence around our Cabin to prevent the neighbors cattle from walking on our lawn... it took us a few weeks, for 2 people.... It was pretty basic, but if you wanted to build a more sturdy fence from wood, 15 people could easily do it in a few weeks. | ||

We have to sit through this stuff. I basically liked the first episode this season (though Sophia leaving was just stupid, glad she's dead she deserved it), it was tense. I only like about the last 10 minutes of episode 7, everything in between was mostly just artificial emotional filler, although Deryl did become more than just a hot-head. This episode I think has redeemed the series significantly for me. I was just about to give up on it all together. God I wish they would have left Frank in producing and the original writers. I think AMC got greedy in between seasons trying to start Hell on Wheels, which I refused to watch knowing it took the budget money away from TWD. It's very obvious how much the budget for the series has been cut | ||

I'm just sayin', when the average teenager is better prepared for a zombie apocalypse than a big group of people, many of whom are young and have used the internet I'm sure, then something is off-kilter. Gather a group of 20 people in any North American city, and you'll be hard pressed to find a full group who doesn't at least have some working knowldege about zombie survival. Plus, they said in like the first episode not to fire guns willy-nilly because it attracts zombies from miles away, then second season comes around and they not only fire guns as much as possible, but also seem to have some sort of unlimited ammo hack... I dunno, these writers sometimes... | ||

You can't really rationalise like that. 1/20 is an engineer as well, 1/20 knows martial arts, etc etc. They have a shit ton of ammo from the raid on the policestation iirc. I think you're really nitpicking here. | ||

I own a Springfield XDm .45, I spent $115 for 250 rounds the first day I had the gun in my possession, and went through all of those rounds in about an hour of shooting. 700 is nothing. I now regularly store 1500+ rounds for my ar15, 500+ for my pistol, 500+ for my long rifles, and 1000-1500 for my shotguns. | ||

- The actual dialogue between Maggie and Glen is so inane and stupid. Glen moved from being funny to just being an idiot. - It appears to me that everyone basically changed their character to just accept Shane's psychotic moment in the previous episode. - The only character who doubts Shane is magical Dale who never had any reason to call Shane out on anything except being a bit of a douche, but was able to all of a sudden know that Shane was a murderer in 'Pretty Much Already Dead' and now knows every exact detail of Otis' murder. - Rick still the worst acted character on the show which is something, speaking slowly in a low growl...always. - Lori crashes into a zombie and flips the car. Ok. - Andrea throughout the entire season...her character just needs to die. - The only interesting thing that happened was the bar scene which had to suffer through really worn out dialogue between Hershel and Rick. | ||

I watch the show stoned, so it tends to happen. | ||

Then she proceeds to ask Daryl to go find his husband and the asian guy, who just left the place (wtf?), then she goes herself instead (more wtf?) and finally manages to crash the car by trying to avoid hitting a walker instead of bracing for the impact (I know, fair reaction... still wtf). | ||
