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. |

or the writing is sloppy, which most likely is the case given the awful writing that's been the trend the last 6-7 episodes.

this is just getting stupid now.
crawling zombie couldn't barely grab a boy, but manages to get the jump on an old man and rip his guts out!
what's the point of doing all this stuff with random individual character actions if the writers aren't going to develop him? i think the writers could've done so much more with the carl thing than just "ok, I got away from the zombie, let's go home now"
It wasn't crawling, it still had 1 leg stuck in mud up to its calf, which is the only reason Carl got away. If it had gotten both feet unstuck Carl would have died.

All the dumb and unreasonable behavior of the characters is getting unberable. The thing that makes me sad is that it could be so easily resolved with a little more creativity by the writers.

It seems as most of you are just looking for things to make the show seem shitty, if you sit down and enjoy it you think its a good show. Assuming "good show" means you were entertained while watching it and will sit down to watch the next one. There are plot holes, but there are plot holes in every movie/tv series somewhere if you look hard enough or theorycraft enough. You make assumptions of what should happen but you never actually been in a zombie apocolypse so how would you know how you would act and feel.
Dale walked off cause he was pissed and didn't wanna be a part of the killing, sees a zombie cow and is distracted and get surprised and killed by a zombie. Seems reasonable to me. Why didn't the zombie finish the cow? Maybe these zombies prefer human meat to wild I don't know who cares lol.
Carl's a kid so he doesn't want to stay around camp all day and goes exploring. He wants to be a badass like his dad and Shane and grabs a gun to shoot some squirrels like Daryl. Finds a zombie and starts aggravating it cause hes a kid. Gets closer to take the shot cause he doesn't want to miss and never fired a gun before. Zombie gets half loose but can't keep a hold of Carl because he still has one foot stuck. Again seems reasonable enough to me >_>.
lol just my thoughts on the complaining. Overall thought it was a good episode went somewhere I didn't expect it to. Was tense and exciting for the most part and progressed the story line.

From one awesome episode where Shane and Rick finally beat the shit out of each other to that shitty one. The writing they're doing with Carl is just absurd, they can't figure out where they want his character to go and they just end up butchering it. List of things I want from Season 2: T-Dog to step up and get some lines, and Carol and Daryl finally doing it and taking a more active role. Gogogo.

I just fucking hate child actors. Like seriously, I can admit that kids are stupid. But you don't go out into a forest alone and then, when you see a zombie, you start throwing rocks at it instead of running away from it, like wtf? Seriously that kid seems like he has an insanely low IQ and I just prayed that he would die by that zombie (or at least get infected). But noo of course not, he is still alive and cries like a little bitch when he realize that it wasn't so smart to leave a zombie alive who sees in which direction he runs away, which then leads to the death of Dale.
Maybe this show will become better when that kid finally dies. I am so frustrated at that kid right now that I finally think I know what to put in my Quotation box.
That has got nothing to do with child actors tho, lol. It's the writers who have written the plot, the actor just does as he is told.. oO Carls behavior was in the script, the actor just carries out what the writers think of...

i really don't think this is the case, zombies are DEAD they wouldnt gain strength from eating food because you'd have to be alive to get all the nutrients from the food and such. i think it was just bad writing

What does daryl say to dale at the end? I missed it.

indeed... it's like they don't know whether they want a classic horror movie cliche story or some kind of suspense filled drama/thriller.
dale getting his guts ripped out is great.... but did they really need dale being an annoying old fart for like 5-6 episodes leading up to this conclusion?
the saving grace for the show would be if the zombies heard the daryl gun shot at the end and overrun the farm. if nothing significant happens in the next episode, like they continue with their frivolous drama crap after dale's demise, it might actually spoil the show to unrepairable failure.

Nothing symbolic or anything, just "I'm sorry, brother."
I do wish they told Dale that they didn't kill Randall before ending his life.

I honestly couldn't believe that the zombie would rip open dale like that. Deep scratches maybe but he's not going to rip him open like a bag of chips. Forgive me if I'm wrong but the zombies don't gain some sort of super-strength once they turn and we can reasonably believe that they get weaker the longer they are left alone (like in the swamp) but i'm willing to believe they never get weaker. But seriously just dumb.

OMG I want to watch a zombie Apocalypse not a drama! This episode had one zombie in the entire episode.. really? Finding that farm killed the show.
|
That last episode was pretty bad. Dale's death was so cheap, and I'm getting kind of sick of the whole "Drama drama drama, nothing happening then BAM something crazy" formula that they've been using. It's such a cheap tactic.
I remember back when they were running through the city and smearing zombie guts over themselves. There was ONE zombie in the last episode. If they don't start improving the writing I might stop being interested.

Another episode with 40 minutes of talking and 2 minutes of a little action. It is getting comical how bad this show is. More specifically, I can't help but laugh that Carl wearing that sheriffs hat around or his comment about heaven to the lady. Just terrible writing. I maintain that this show only gets renewed because it is the only zombie show on tv, so people watch. I'm glad Dale died though, hoping for Lori and Carl to go soon.
Also, TDOG must have nailed one of the writer's sisters or something. His role is non existent.

I'm about to quit following this show 100% now.
This episode was so fucking bad on so many levels.

You should write them an angry letter, seeing as you are a zombie expert. Do you teach?

The zombie that jumped Dale made no sense (like everyone seems to say on this thread). Why would it stop eating and start camping in the bushes waiting for someone to drop by? Former fps player perhaps?
Also Carl needs to be killed off.
