so sorry wrote:Yup. And c'mon, that bald cop they captured...was there ANY doubt he was about to pull a fast one on our gang? But what was more rediculous? The 10 second preview of the next episode shows him re-captured with Rick in his face, so I guess his little escape plan didn't really turn out to well for him.
And one last bitch: how the fuck do you get surprised by a car like that? Its an abandoned city, with the only noise pollution being the moaning of zombies. They should have heard that other cop car from literally a mile away.

so are we ever gonna find out who was collecting those armless, legless zombies, and why?

And it doesn't have to be what would typically be a deadly wound...just a nibble. You are surrounded by moving, walking things whose sole purpose in life is to take a bite out of you, and that bite leads to death.
These guys have been out there for a while, and haven't really stopped since the prison. The physical and emotional toll on these people over a protracted time is, perhaps, unprecedented since the days of Bastogne and Guadalcanal. No matter what Alastor Moody says, "constant vigilance" isn't possible for humans. Eventually we wear down, we tire, and we get distracted. The walkers don't.
Here pussy Tyrese got distracted by a picture of young men (). (actually I generally like Tyrese's character, but I'm also somewhat in So Sorry's camp about how we was portrayed). A moment's distraction...and it's all over. It doesn't matter how big you are, or how many you can take out with a hammer when they are in front of you. It's about where your head is at and, like all of us, even under the most serious of circumstances, our minds sometimes start to wander.
I feel like an apologist, and maybe i am, but I'd say that while there are things to gripe about when it comes to this show, the occasional death by single zombie isn't one of them to me. The failure to sweep the house, on the other hand...that's a good point So Sorry.

Because he was a pussy.TheBaxter wrote:i'm still astounded by the carelessness of people on this show (and the occasional ninja-like stealth abilities of its zombies)
And that is the crux of my problem with this show in general. He can literally kill dozens of zombies with his hammer during a Hulk rage, but a child zombie can sneak up on him and he can't fight him off? Suspended-disbelief aside, the inconsistencies of our protagonists and the zombies is so glaring when they need it to move the story along etc. You can go from a super ninja zombie killer to someone who can't fight off an infant zombie in the drop of a hat. I understand that you can't be badass all the time, that you will drop your guard from time to time, but at this point in the storyline, these guys should be doing certain things without even thinking twice about it (sweeping a house FIRST before you decide to start longingly at a picture on a wall...not going outside at night by yourself etc).

so sorry wrote:All very valid points (especially the ones agreeing with me). And I know that's how I'm SUPPOSED to react to situations like Tyrese...the momentary slip...letting his guard down for just a minute and BAM he's bit. But I just can't get it out of my head that when its convenient, these zombies can be overpowered with ease (for fuck's sake the zombie was killed by stabbing it with a PLASTIC MODEL AIRPLANE), and in other cases a full grown giant of a man (tyrese) can't fend off a teenage rotted corpse.

so sorry wrote:So....was the horde of zombies pushing on the barn door just a dream? Or am I supposed to believe that a fucking storm came thru and swept them away like that, but left the barn intact? And how the fuck did a horde of zombies know, in the middle of a terrible storm like that, that people were in that barn? Maybe they were looking for shelter too...

Good stuff right there

so sorry wrote:Daryl as a recruiter is a terrible idea. He may be the greatest tracker, he may be able to "read people", but he's got all the personality of a stump of wood and the grace and charm of a crocodile. Can you imagine THAT GUY approaching your group and trying to give a motivation speech about joining his community? Fuck no, I'd run the other direction.

Is it worth me catching up? Or will I still just be really bored with it?
