So, our favorite band of post-apocalyptic zombie killers is back.
And now they have friends. Lots of them. Things seem pretty nice, considering they’re all (living) in prison. Everyone is in love and kissing someone. They’re doing some farming. They’re making runs. Michonne’s horse is happy. There are children and stories.
But wait. Carol is teaching the kids to use knives. Carl is fast approaching puberty. Rick doesn’t want to wander far from the prison. Some crazy lady wants to be a walker, just like her husband (that shit was weird, right?). And what about The Governor? Will he be back? To me, this episode felt like an hour long teaser for the new season.
Also, I think Daryl and Michonne need to make babies. Glorious, bad ass, zombie killing babies.
I for serious thought Clara was a talking zombie. I was like, WHAT!? Hybrid zombies? /mindfuck
That’s what Nurse U thought too. I do wonder if they’re hinting that the zombie disease is about to morph again. What with the pigs dying and that geeky teenager dying and zombieing-out in the shower at the end.
The ending left me totally confused. I forgot about the pig. Maybe there’s something in the soil where they’re growing their food?
There’s something afoot.
Maybe there’s a foot or something.
My guess is it’s the soil. Lots of Zombies died on that land.
That was my first thought too. Turns out she’s a whack job.
Totally agree about this setting up the rest of the season. What the hell is going on with the animals? Is it (what is it?) now passed to the humans? Is it because of the animals? If Hershel is a vet, why wasn’t he helping the poor piggy?
I feel like the writers are waiting to pull our safety net out from under us like they usually do.
I also can’t wait to see what’s going on with Bob and his possible drinking problem. And BETH is now a officially dead inside.
I think Beth possibly has a bit of a crush on Daryl. Maybe he can warm her up inside. No, not like that. Perv.
It’s like a damn romance novel around here!
The National Wildlife Federation says fears of the zombie apocalypse are greatly exaggerated, because wildlife would kick zombie ass!
I loved all the traps the director put in the scene where Clara was leading Rick into her trap…the rabbit Rick caught in his snare, the boar who was also snared, the spider web with a trapped insect. All just screaming TRAP to everyone except that dumbass Rick.
And if the Council is attentive enough to detail to be able to tell Rick he needs to stop walking around outside the walls without his gun, can they make the more obvious and necessary decision to pass a rule that no one is allowed to go anywhere alone, ever? I mean, come on! Even when Star Trek was obviously about to kill a red shirt they’d at least give him the pretense of having someone go with him.
Speaking of which, I like all the new blood they’ve brought in, and I suspect (and hope) that rather than just giving the producers a new batch of walker fodder, they’ll actually develop some new characters, and add some depth to the old ones (like Daryl and Michone, an excellent suggestion). Because while the show has done pretty well adding dimensions to the types of conflict, which has kept me engaged, the characters could really use some depth, and less predictability.
When Beth wouldn’t say goodbye to Zach I knew he wouldn’t be coming back. It was slightly predictable.
I think they’re hinting at that. Like when whatshisface was trying to guess Daryl’s occupation. It would be nice to have a backstory on more than just Rick. I feel that Glen’s story has been sorely neglected. I mean, he’s got Maggie and all, but we don’t know shit about his past.
Don’t forget their pregnancy scare!
You’d think on one of their runs, someone could pick up some damn condoms. Although it sounds like Maggie wants to end up in a family way.
Do you think the condoms would be too old by now?
The gas should be, but they’re still driving.
He was a pizza delivery boy. What more do you want?
But for what restaurant? FOR WHAT RESTAURANT???
#2, you think so right? How dumb is that?
#3, I think all the above will happen. They’ll be fodder, they’ll be regulars, and they’ll delve more into their characters. 3 new ones that’ll likely show up at the end of the story are from the comic and purely based on physical appearance are absolutely perfect for the roles.
Umm.. did the Harry Potter guy who died poison the water hole when he cough and spit in the barrel?
I think they were trying to suggest that, yes.
And the title of next week’s episode….
Thanks for talking Walking here, guys.
Wait, are we done?
TWSS
No, just putting that out there.
I stopped watching after S2.
Is it getting silly?
Thanks, and go As.
Season 2 was the weakest of them. Season 3 was a mind fuck.
I can understand that. I didn’t care for S2 (or the pilot, really, but I decided to give the rest of S1 a chance and it worked out). S3 was quite good, I’d encourage you to try it.
Agreed. From Season 3 on out it’s gangbusters!
season two was pretty bad
It was,so boring.
