I think it'd be great to find the girl in the barn too.

Oh I like the girl in the barn concept, yah I thought it was just gonna be the farmers wife at first and then I saw all of them in there!

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
I am leaning in the direction you guys have presented. Add the knowing look between Herschel and his daughter
over "finding the lost girl" and this new revelation that there is a herd of zombies in the barn and you really would
have to blind not to see that the girl is in that barn shambling around. That's precisely why they cut the episdode
off RIGHT THERE. This goes hand in hand with the idea that this is a $hi+ or get off the pot moment. They will not
just keep wandering around the woods looking for Hansel and Gretel, they are going to move on/get the boot. What
better timing than to see the girl zombiefied? The mother grieves in horror, STAYS on at the farm with her baby,
the rest of the band is forced to move on.

The Shane thing just grates my nerves like nails on a chalkboard or ME in the SEC thread. He is such a doofus-
a$$ redneck. "Ahm a certified firearms instructor, I will teech U how to shoot, kid." You will not handle a weapon,
you are just a kid." The redneck drawl just pours out of him is such an irritating manner.

When does this show come on TV? I've been watching the show on Netflix and now via DVR, but I don't know when the new episodes are scheduled.

Thanks!

In Andrea's case, I think she was just trying to make a strong, independent decision and show "the boys" that she is not a weak dependent like the other women of the group have been so far

These are my thoughts exactly. This episode was great!

kickerb 11-16-2011 11:59 AM

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
I think the Greene family is keeping the walkers simply because they don't know what to do with them. Hershel being the religious man that he is cannot justify killing the walkers. In his heart that is the wrong thing to do. Also, the last episode when they split the well walker in two, did you see Maggie's reaction to that? It was very hard for her to witness that. These people have not yet experienced the killing for survival aspect.

I am still curious about that look Hershel gave Maggie last episode. The walkers in the barn really did not explain that previous interchange between them. We may find out that is something more devious going on. Also, at the end when Maggie said, "you weren't supposed to see that." Other than the safety precautions obviously, why should Rick and his crew be concerned with that?

The Daryl scenes were fantastic, I loved every second of it. Again, it just shows you the dynamic. A flesh wound can seriously result in your death. We think of small injuries in life like no big deal. But that is not the case for these folks. The conversations with Merle are really going to impact Daryl's character. I cannot wait to see how this develops.

Andrea was trying so hard to prove herself. Most people around her are out trying to be a hero and being the strong one of the group. This was finally her chance to do that same. Not to mention these people HATE the walkers for the circumstances they are in. You see this come out in a scene or two this season. These folks are having some small joy in killing the walkers.

Did anyone catch that wonderful comic relief in the scene with Maggie and Glenn?? It was so needed, and enjoyed.

So, for you folks commenting on this thread about the episodes/season not being good for whatever reason, please tell me what you think would make it better. Layout an episode, I'm curious to know what you want to see happen.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 
I am one that said in the FUTURE they may trouble keeping my interest since there is only so much you can do with
the premise. I have been told that is incorrect, but there you go. I have not really said that they are not GOOD, but
I have been in the group that says that there seems to be too much dragging along with the lost little girl storyline and
also that I thought the Good Old Home Boys Retirement Home idea was too patronizing for the level of quality the show
had become known for. A little too Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids for me. The Waltons was a show for teaching
moral lessons, not a zombie drama. But it is their show and if I don't like it I need only change the channel.

Haha, Irrate wants more zombies. He is in group B. That is the group that thinks everytime the hero or heroine is framed
up right of center, then a zombie needs to enter the frame from the left side, and vice-versa. Everytime a door is closed
with a mirror on it, there needs to be a zombie behind the person reflected in it. Classic horror setups. Me, again, I like
the way the show is. There is always a chance that there is going to be a zombie encounter, but it is far from certain.
I think the scenario itself is horrifying enough, just the prospect of a future where this is the sitcho everyday is really
messed up to contemplate.

I agree...that's what she was trying to do....but if I were a member of that group, I would say that she only accomplished one thing by taking that shot....proving that even if has some skill with a rifle, she lacks the judgement required to be trusted with a firearm.

I like this show a lot, but the characters aren't pulling me in as much as I'd like. I feel like the story isn't progressing very fast, which would be fine if the characters were a little stronger. I do like how they are starting to add some back story about how everything went down. I do enjoy it quite a lot, and this latest episode has been much more engaging to me.

This is a great sentence. Initially I kind of rolled my eyes at even discussing this scene, it was so
simple, so awkward, so predictable. But I like this sentence, the scene is EXACTLY that. How many
different people specifically TOLD HER to cool her jets? Granted she is a woman and they were
all men, so it was not likely she was going to listen to them, they had taken her pistol away. But she
was gonna get that shot off. You could tell, however, with the glare, she never really paused
because she couldn't AIM properly, she was clearly waiting for an ID on the target, which was good.
But in the end, she did the hard-headed thing, like most humans.

You could argue that they compounded the problem by taking the weapons away and making her feel like she had to prove herself.

And, for the triple post hat trick....

To everyone commenting on last weeks episode, and the dynamic between Merle and Darryl.....

There wasn't any dynamic between Merle and Darryl. There was a dynamic between Darryl and Darryl, Merle was a hallucination. He had two hands.
At least that's my take.


As to this weeks episode, anybody beside me think they saw a member of the set outside the window in the pharmacy scene?

It happens fast, but when the zombie attacks there's a quick shot of Glenn and over his shoulder you can see out the window. The first shot theres nothing there, then they pan back and there seems to be a guy standing there outside the window.

Sorry, maybe it's my line of work but these little details jump out at me, :D

It would have been better if the hallucination of Merle had one cauterized stump. And then he actually showed up in a future episode and smack talked Daryl as an introduction.
And Daryl thought he was a hallucination up until the point where Merle gives him a deep tongued kiss hello.
Wait...


Er... just entertaining myself this morning.. All this wooing talk got me a bit off track.

Remember when they were all at the CDC in Atlanta, and the doc whispers something to Rick? I was sure he was telling him that Lori was pregnant. I guess that wasn't it.

My thoughts were he was wispering something like . . . there's no cure. We're all going to die.

On a side note, I've been reading the Walking Dead comic book Wiki a lot and it's very interesting how the show diverges quite a bit from the thread of the book.

Maybe I'm too much of a fuss-ass to be watching Zombie shows...but did anyone else notice that whassername (the killing zombies fetish girl) didn't bother picking up the magazine for her Beretta 92 after she dropped it while trying to clear the stoppage as the walkers approached?

Andrea...that's her name. Again and again, she displays that while she may know what she's doing with a firearm, she lacks the judgement required to be trusted with one. She was so busy feeling empowered once she got past her "moving target" mental block that she didn't think to get in the car and drive away. :sh
