    The only thing that bothered me about the last episode was that Beth drank the moonshine like it had no taste. Have you ever tasted moonshine? That stuff is nasty!!!!! Seems like the directors would have done a better job of that.. her first drink and she's not getting sick?

    It is just me or.... is the show a piece of garbage joke compared to the comic book?

    *crickets*

    OK, just me then.....

    (IN b4 "the show and the comic are two different universes")

    ETA: Yes, I'm bitter. I'm allowed. I'M AN ADULT!!!

    Comic are for jokes, I think. :smokin:

    I'm enjoying the change, too, but spent the whole last episode thinking that I don't think there would be anything worse than getting stuck alone with a teenage girl during the zombie apocolypse! lol And yes, I also expected the "I never had sex....." moment and was really glad it didn't come. There are boundaries, even then!

    No, the first sip she made a face. Once the burn encompasses your mouth and throat, you can't taste it after that.

    Isn't there supposed to be a spin off coming out soon? I'm more ready for that than anything. Or for this season to get its act together. Although, next week's episode looks promising, at least more action.

    The last episode was so slow. I really wanted Beth to be walker chow. I was afraid she was trying to get Darryl to sleep with her. "I've never had sex..." I was sure she was going to say it.

    I was just WAITING for the sex to happen. I was very surprised when it didn't. Beth is definitely acting like a spoiled little kid though. I don't think I'd miss her if she got eaten. I'd kind of be bummed for Maggie since she just lost her dad, but for all she knows, Beth is already dead anyway.

    YES. I watch the show because I do like Daryl, but it doesn't hold up at all. I never really rooted for anyone to die in the comics (that wasn't a bad guy) like I do for characters on the show.

    I miss the Governor.

    If you ever watched Pinky and the Brain - then think of the Governor and his "pinkies"

    I kinda like the different set up for now. It's nice to be able to focus on a couple characters at a time, letting the anticipation build as they come back together :) And who didn't love that last one!!

    I agree! However I liked the last episode but my husband did not. He said he felt like making Darryl say things like he could have done more and having him break down was too predictable for how TV usually is. I get it but I was like, he's not a robot, and all they've had is time to run around for thier lives and think about what they could or could not have done differently and rue the fact they had not meet up plan...that is kind of a WTF for me. He said that's fine but why make him say it out loud, why can't he just remain stoic and strong, etc...so I had to proceed and explain that it's TV and we can't read people's minds they have to either say the lines or have a voice over or we don't know...at any rate it was a whole big thing after the episode...LOL!

    yes, but I have not heard much about it ...I would assume it is a different "group"...

    My husband didn't like him breaking down either, he said that now all of the women in america will be twice as in love as they already were ;)

    Agreed! I never thought an episode with that much Daryl could be boring, but it was pretty slow. When I saw that he was strapped with Beth two episodes ago, I felt pretty bad for him... until in the next scene Tyreese was stuck with a baby and two little girls - one of which is definitely well on her way to becoming a sociopath. And then Carol returned and everything was right in the world (except for, like, the walking corpses).

    Every single time Rick says or does anything, I can't help, but think "Can you NOT?!", though. I never thought I'd prefer Carl to Rick. Screw being forgiving, his impotence during the group's time in the prison was just WHARRGARBL!

    Pretty sure the spinoff won't be Daryl. They'd lost half their viewership if they did that.

    I don't know if they need to get everyone together, but they need to get it moving. The last one really felt like filler. This needs to be leading somewhere. I have a feeling in the next few weeks, something big will happen. This has all felt like "set up" to me.

    Agreed. Moonshine is disgusting. I've had it multiple times and still can't help but make a face when I taste it lol.
