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. | ||

You can clearly see who got over the zombie-infection and who still has the potential to turn into a walker when they die. Hershell being able to take care of the ill without getting any symptoms has a realistic explaination. He was bit and had his leg cut off, therefore he has immunity to the illness that seems somewhat harsher on the people that are still zombie-infected (who coughs blood up from a regular cold normally? No one). Secondly there's Carl. Carl back in Season 2 got shot and he nearly died. I believe, that this is the reason why he also isn't getting the cold that kills people. Rick as well got into a coma BEFORE the zombie attack and SURVIVED and therefore he's also "cured". This also makes it possible for Glenn to get the sickness (which he did), because he hasn't had a near-death experience. Are you implying that the flu, or whatever sickness everyone has is from the zombie infection? You're making multiple assumptions to tie this together. | ||

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking of MGS >_> == Aside from the show screaming at us to see the obvious connection Meagan and the Governor were going to develop (cause his daughter is dead remember..REMEMBER?! AHHH), and the chick twisting her ankle at the worst possible time and the girl just standing there....ANNNND the Governor killing zombies with his bare fucking hands (okay this was actually badass, even if it seemed a little ridiculous) I liked this ep. I can't even begin to wrap my head around why people hate on the governor so much. This is a great direction to take the show imo. I need a break from Rick's group and it's nice to see them develop the non-megalomaniac side of the Governor after his fall. Especially knowing he eventually intersects with Rick's group again... I give the ep a 6/10 | ||

Episode 5 Decent episode I'd say by the show's standards. I guess we got rid of the boring sickness plot, I was fearing this would last the whole season or something. Now I'd like them to just get out of the freaking prison, there is a limit as to how much hours in this dull environment I can support. Or give us more outside jobs at least. Hershel keeps his spot among my favorite characters list with Daryl, and Carl moves up in it. Now that I think about it, this season is the only one where I'm not too annoyed by a character (so far). They got rid of all the worst ones like "the terrible actress from prison break", Shane and Andrea (damn S2 was unwatchable). Not really digging another go with the Governor, that's what made S3 so dumb for me. Episode 6 In my opinion that was a very good episode, among the bests this series has to offer. Most of my complaints for this show were not in this one: -A lot of stuff happened. It's a feat for TWD to not drag a story more than it should. They were for once able to tell a simple story in 45min. Last time they did that was in Season 3 when they meet Morgan and S01E01. It's certainly not the most original story, and it's not with the main characters, but at least I wasn't bored. Many scenes, many places, likes it. -Zombies were a threat ! It's been a while we haven't see some sort of struggle with zombies. It's usually a headshot fest or boot smashing galore with the characters barely being afraid of them (remember Tyrese shruging zombies like leaves in episode 3 ?). Sure he kills them with his hands in the last scene, but compared to the rest of the show there was something there. -It doesn't take place in the freaking prison. I'm so bored with it. This episode featured quite a lot of places for a nice change. -It maintained a reasonable degree of consistency. It's difficult to really root for the governor obviously but that ain't a problem. As much as I want him dead it isn't something that makes or breaks an episode and it makes him not so uni-dimensional anymore. Sadly, this episode probably will get a lot of shit because its outside of the main plot though. Which is sad, the writing was there for once. The sad part is that the episode end up with the governor meeting his old crew and his old standard vilain boring sidekick. This means we're probably back to the kind of stuff that made S3 awful. | ||

I actually really liked this episode. It makes me interested to see what happens to the Gov. to turn him back into the guy who is leading zombies to the prison. | ||

Edit: I have a feeling the guvna is outside the prison so that he can lead the girls to safety while knowing he probably won't be accepted. | ||

why do we need to see the governor as if he was a saint? he's with this new family for 2 days and suddenly, he is their new protector, the new dad and already fuck one of the woman? didn't they live together for so long that now they need a guy to help them for everything? "can you go there and take this for us? omg you are so kind! <3 <3" and the end.. killing zombies with bare hands, yeah sure -_- | ||

No, the flu is enhanced BY the zombie infection and near-death experiences or infections cures you. So far we know that: - Everyone is infected - When you die, you turn - The infection can be stopped prematurely, by cutting off the body part that was bit (see Hershell) So my proposal here (although far fetched, gives explanations) is that if you are in a state of near death and you survive, the zombie infection cures itself. If everyone is actually infected, being close to death, should give people a really hard time to not turn. It could also explain why Hershell and Carl doesn't get the illness. Their bodies have some kind of resistance, so either they don't get sick at all, or the flu wouldn't hitting them so hard they're coughing up blood like the rest. I really hope there will be more in season 4 about the infection, because for all we know now, is that if you die you turn and France was the only country to get near a cure. | ||

Though this episode sure had more than enough stupid or convenient plots, too. First and foremost, like always, the new group that has survived in the zombie apocalypse for months and months and months now.. and knows bugger all about zombies. Or surviving. Or anything at all. What did they do in all these months? Sit around and eat pasta? Then there's the conveniently timely death of the old guy. The in-your-face chess analogy. The "don't just fucking stand there, pick her up and run already!" moment. It's all so cheesy. Still liked it, though. | ||
