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. | ||

Oh, that's rich coming from a person whose past times include watching fist fights between 2 people surrounded by walkers on chains. Seriously not sure how a writer put that line in without thinking of how ridiculous it sounded. | ||

I liked when the puking guy knifed the decapitated head. Gotta be on your toes against those body-less walker-heads. | ||

I'm still baffled why wouldn't Glen just shoot anywhere to stop the guy from advancing, and most hilarious of all, why wouldn't any of them shoot him when he jumped them. TV stupidity at it's best. Because you don't just shoot someone who's been part of your group for weeks, especially if you're Glenn. I don't get why you guys criticize this scene. It's the imperfections that make the show (or any show) interesting. Glenn's not a manly guy who shoots people at the slightest hint of danger, and he very, very obviously did not want to shoot a guy he knew. And Merle knew that, too, and used it to his advantage. By all means, call Glenn an idiot for not reacting correctly, but that wasn't bad writing. | ||

Gotta be on your toes against those body-less walker-heads. Come on, you can apply yourself a little more than that. Merle forces him: "we don't let one of our own turn" Gotta be on your toes against people who completely miss the point of a scene and then make a quip about it! | ||

So one starts walking, others will notice it and follow, and so on, and that's how roaming herds show up | ||

It seemed like they were somehow drawn to the jail because of some reason, not sure why. Maybe they have some sort of hive mind connection between zombies and it drew them to the prison. Just trying to make sense of it all. What do you all think? It's kind've liked in one of the first episodes when Glenn and Rick put the zombie guts on themselves to get to the truck through the zombies and they didn't take notice of them being alive because of the scent until the rain washed it away. Whereas the zombie noticed Michonne because she grabbed her wound, drenched her hand in blood, then put it by the zombies face where he could smell fresh blood. | ||

Surely he could have confidence in hitting a target 2 feet away, and it's not like Merle can react in the time it takes for a bullet to travel from the gun into his head. The scene should have happened like a previous poster described it, with Merle catching them one by one. | ||

I think it can be reasonably explained off that Glenn's character wasn't able to think that clearly, and isn't violent by nature anyways, though it probably could have been written better. | ||

The scene should have happened like a previous poster described it, with Merle catching them one by one. there are movies that have 5+ people aiming their guns at a person holding another hostage with a gun to a head. There's a possibility something can go wrong. He could shoot and miss or he could hit Maggie. Merle's head was right next to Maggie's head. There's a lot of risk involved and obviously the hostage means a whole lot to him. I did not see an issue with that scene.

The phone thing was very nonsensical and out of place compared to the comics. so what's up with that phone call? It was just Rick imagining things? | ||

It was just Rick imagining things? + Show Spoiler [Mod edit: COMICS!] + Yes, but in the comics it happened after basically everything in his life had went to hell, it was Rick's absolutely lowest point and it kinda made sense since at that point he had been through a lot more than in the show. In the show it felt very random and out of place. User was warned for this post | ||

Rick was in a terrible state after Lori was killed and he was not want to come to terms with the fact that his wife is dead and he'll never be able to reconcile the problems they had with their relationship. He's not ready to let her go. Of all the people, Rick tried his hardest to keep her and Carl safe, and he failed. To make matters worse, his son had to shoot her (+ Show Spoiler + which didn't happen in the comics | ||

But it starts raining, washing off the guts and the walkers start becoming aware of their presence. | ||
