THE WALKING DEAD

Even though I'm a big fan of the show, have to say to say I found tonight's episode somewhat underwhelming. Understand they have to deal with the party's scattering, and are focusing on some character development/backstory, but it just didn't grab me. Worse, I get the feeling that the next XX number of episodes will be this "hopping" from sub-group to sub-group on alternate weeks. Not "bad", just not exactly what I was envisioning.....

Yeah I'm not sure that it's going to be much "fun" to go from group to group. Would like to at least see the reunion of Michonne with the guys. But hopefully this next episode will show the "everyone else" group and then in 2 weeks they could all meet up again. I would hate for them to be separate for the rest of the season.

I thought it was good! Oh, how I have missed you Walking Dead!!!! Carl really irritates me, but I understand his anger.

And PUDDING!!!!

Loved Michonne's back story, gave some insight into her actions. I am glad she found Rick and Carl. Can't wait to see what happened to everyone else.

I think someone took Judith.

I really hope so. But am not holding my breath. Those stupid girls left here there in the carrier if I remember correctly. And it was blooooooody when Carl and Rick came across it....

nothing to see here....

:laugh:

Shut the hell up Carl

I thought Rick was dead.

It was tough to see Herschel's zombie head.

Mischone is a true badass.

Carl is...well he's still Carl

Can't wait to see next week's episode.

^ yep
I think someone has Judith as well. I cant wait to find out more about the people they heard over the radio a while back. I haven't read the comics.

I just started watching the show this season, but Carl annoys me to no end. Even if he does have a point about Rick's leadership, because Rick seems to want to have things both ways by not being in charge but still needing to have everything be the way he wants it. I think Rick is still struggling with his place in this world, whereas other characters seem to have come to terms with it. Even seeing Michonne's dream and her struggle during the episode to come to terms with the situation, she ultimately has made a decision about who she wants to be and the life she wants to have.

Rick seems like he has no idea what he wants, which is an interesting juxtaposition. Normally an LEO would be seen as the go-to person keeping the order in the midst of chaos, but Rick seems to be someone who needed that kind of order to keep himself in line. He keeps trying to flip back to an ordered life with the farming and trying to establish some kind of normalcy for Carl, thinking that if he does that the rest of the world will follow. He's surviving but he's not adapting, so Carl's criticism in that sense was on point. I still want to smack Carl and I'm tired of hearing Rick yelling his name.

a lot of people complained about this episode. i thought it was great. i think carl progressed quite a bit in the episode.

anyone here read the comics as well?

did he survive, yes.

I cant believe so many people thought that was a good episode. I used to like the show but its been going down hill for quite awhile in my opinion. I thought that was VERY underwhelming for a reason opener ..horrible acting and boring. That is the last one I will be watching.

That's exactly why I did like it. The end of the mid-season finale was so crazy, hectic, heart-breaking...I don't think most fans could handle much more death or destruction right off the bat. This is a show about an apocalypse and people trying to find humanity and civilization again. The zombies and the gore is not the focal point of the show. So this episode did exactly what is expected and focused on the character development and showing the emotional aspect. Carl has clearly been building a lot up growing up in this world and finally exploded. I'm amazed he's not sitting somewhere in shock but this world is almost making shock a think of the past. Nothing is shocking anymore.

To each their own though! lol! :flowerforyou:
