The Walking Dead...

I agree, they could have made Glenn look a bit more manly by having him take out the fat dude, but Rick really looked like a ****** taking them both out.

Herschel and Glenn were about as useless as you could get.

Glenn has only killed walkers. He's never had to kill a living human. So it's not surprising for his character to not act.

Herschel was three sheets to the wind

Yeah, it dragged a bit, for sure, when they got to the haven of the farm. I have a feeling we're about to get a lot more zombies in the next few weeks.

Hopefully, especially because that means they're leaving the farm, which is way too static.

I hope this is available on Hulu+ tonight...I watched the Grammy's and missed this.

I know I'm overthinking this, but during that verbal exchange I wondered why neither party suggested that the strangers find another farm in that area. If they haven't been overrun by walkers all this time, it's unlikely that farms nearby are crawling with them either. And, judging by apperances, they already had a food supply.

I had no problem with the ending though. Rick wants to stay at the farm to raise his kid and those two would have made an already tense situation impossible. Besides, he could have blasted them after "Philly" and I would have understood (just kidding Philly Cowboys fans). At first, I thought those two characters were going to be similar to the two bad arses that joined the resistance in the original V miniseries (even the body types matched) but they turned out to be even more anti-social.

I have not understood why rick and his group have not looked for another farm. They could find one close and that way they could get to hershel, when the wife needed him for the pregnancy, while at the same time maintaining some distance.

That's a valid point.

Maybe it's psychological.

Or maybe the rest of the group isn't into the whole farm thing. I think the only two that have said that they wanted to stay at the farm has been Rick and his wife. Shane makes no bones about moving on. Glenn doesn't seem married to sticking around on this or any nearby farm.

I think that Rick looks up to Herschel and that's why he desires staying on this farm rather than finding one of his own.

The whole thing could be mute. I wouldn't be surprised if the farm doesn't get over-run.

Sorta like what happened to the group outside of Atlanta. Eventually the Z's run out of food and begin to wander to new areas.

Eventually the group is going to need something with a wall or some sort of barrier.

Wasn't that guy Rick shot, Renee' from TrueBlood Season 1?

After watching Talking Dead, their friends are looking for them...

Seems like a major blunder by Rick...

If they follow the comic book , they are going to get behind walls . In a prison of all places . I am beginning to wonder if you are smarter than trickb gives you credit for .:laugh2:

Yeap same guy

Good description Joe.

I sat there thinking after the final scene, that the show took a "Road Warrior" path.

I didn't think Rick would man-up so fast... even though he was "pushed" when one of the baddies went for his weapon. But after the one guy walked over and pissed on the floor, the message was given that these two no longer had respect for anything– living or dead.

So instead of dragging it out and taking the two new visitors back to farm so they could create mayhem or even trying to ditch them, the standoff was ended short & sweet by Rick's faster gun.

Shane's bad-guy meter fell a couple of points with the caring he showed for Carol and her fragile mindset.

That's why this is a good show. The folks aren't all good or all bad. It's the potential for them to do something you wouldn't expect that makes the show interesting.

Pulp fiction: Everyone is either good or bad, and no shades of grey. You like 'em, you hate 'em. Life is simple. The plot is simple.

Good Fiction: Everyone, even the lead protagonist, has good and bad characteristics that can manifest themselves as dominant traits depending on the situation the character finds themselves in. Life is complex, as it really is. People are sometimes irrational, as they really are. The plot is complex. The characters, real.

One of the great lessons I took home from my creative writing class at Texas State.

Yeap same guy

That was the best season of Trueblood... and that guy had the only authentic accent... he was really good and the best bad guy yet (Denis O'Hare is a close second)...

lol, good lord. This is what happens when you actually try to develop characters and have them stick to their development.

What have you seen in 2 seasons that would make you believe Glenn or Hershel are ready to confront two crazy dudes with guns?

Trick over-estimates me.

I guess I've watched too many zombie movies, shows or read zombie-related fiction (or is it non-fiction? Hmm). But a common denominator is "Get walls between the zombies and the survivors."

Panic room
House
Mall
City with walls around it

Heck in Max Brook's "World War Z", the Rocky Mountains are used as a "wall" to separate the survivors on the west side from the zombie horde on the east.

Any situation like the one on the farm where a group of survivors needs to post a look-out because they do not have the security of walls... Well that's going to wear on them.

You're absolutely right.

I think Herschel would be more likely to go "Rambo" after he went on a bender.

Glenn?

The short-chubby intruder would have been doing the "Deliverance dance" with Glenn in no time flat.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Was quite unimpressed with that episode. Up until the end it was really dragging on.

I just noticed your "Z" term in another post. Coined from World War Z?
