I wonder how the zombie pack is going over the fences. Didn't they just check the intergrity of the fencing at the beginning of the episode? It looked like 4 foot fencing to me. I thought it was funny as it seemed short but it implied that this was all that was needed to keep them out. But, then at the end of the episode you see the horde coming to a fence line. Are they just going to plow the fence over or scale it? The fence just didn't seem very secure...especially since it didn't seem tall enough...but it had been doing the job up to that point. They might as well have just paved a yellow brick road right up to the farm house front door. That sh_t doesn't seem very secure now when it seemed mostly secure before.
To be fair The US BORDER Patrol could secure the perimeter and Carl would still find a way to end up in the most precarious situations. Riddle me this: how is that the watch party for Randall starts off in the day and goes into the night ,yet Carl walks 5 mins from the house and runs right into Rick/Shane? Lazy scene.
It's hilarious how Shane's ultimate master plan to off Rick was lead him through the woods until they're isolated and alone. Comes up with an elaborate story of how Randall escaped, was armed, shot Rick, then Shane melees Randall by cracking his neck. Yet, they end up in an open field with clear line of sight to the farmhouse. And the whole time Carl is watching them with binoculars. Nothing makes sense in this show. The character's motives are horribly justified. Things happen just to happen. A Michael Bay movie makes more sense than this show.
olive oil is either the dumbest, most wishy-washy ho in the world or else a slutty machiavelli. did she set up shane? put all that stuff in his head to make him go after rick, who she knew would kill shane? kind of like the godfather, where carlo beats up connie in order to provoke sunny to come after him, thus setting him up to get killed at the tollbooth.
I was going to post this. They've apparently been searching for hours. It was light when it started, and they were still planning to go dump Randall. Not a job that would take a short period of time. And then it's dark. And in all that time, Shane leads Rick to a field a couple hundred yards from the house? And that's where he plans to kill him? Within sight and sound of the house? WTF? He went farther out to kill Randall.
Having watched the entire series twice over the past 6 months, I'm pretty sure I'm not forgetting any episodes. I concede that the ones you mentioned clearly weren't the best the show has to offer, but regardless of an episode's particular story line, Breaking Bad is always expertly shot, written, and acted. I wouldn't honor The Walking Dead with any of those distinctions.
They didn't come out and say it but it was obviously implied that Shane was mentally ill with pyschosis or something. So, whatever plan he came up with was at least partially formed with a delusional reality in mind of what would follow, i.e. Shane taking over Rick's role as husband/father and leading the group. If anything, the conversation with Lori convinced him he needed to take care of the hostage and Rick if he may have been on the fence before. Rick didn't help when he wasn't putting Carl's interests first in the conversation he had with Shane where Shane made note that Rick put his son second to dealing with the hostage. These two conversations gave him a green light in his mind to proceed. Carl confiding in Shane about the river mud zombie didn't help any...cause it only made Shane believe he was the better father. The real reality was obviously Shane wouldn't have gotten away with it because his plan was already found out when the other two discovered the hostage now zombie was not infected but killed. Even if he managed to come back without Rick and the other two did not know (or he killed them too), Lori/Carl would have never believed him and been with him. He would no longer have been seen as part of the group. At that point, he would either have to leave or kill some more to stay.
Agreed. Each episode has it's "wtf" moments and there's many of them. The only things that really stick out are the events that happen in the last ten minutes of each episode or so. But hey...at least T-Dog finally got more than one line!
okay, so.... Carl dropped his gun in the swamp area last episode and all of the sudden has it back in his possession?
