Wow, that girl's got some serious Katy Perry going on.

You're too proud of this macroeconomic model you've constructed.

When is enough enough? When it's all too much.

I'm a college professor; one day a few years ago I overheard one student say to another, "The last two generations fucked up the world in so many ways, but they sure did make some great music."

The establishing shots near the start of the season made it clear that the quarry was surrounded by cliffs on all sides, with only two exit routes: the access road leading up the side of the cliff (blocked by a tractor trailer) and a road at the bottom (blocked by two trailers) where our heroes were setting up for…

Instead of building a zombie diversion wall out on the highway, build it on the quarry access road. Bam, no zombie escapes ever. Now hunt around until you find Darryl's miracle fuel truck, douse the whole quarry in gasoline, and burn 'em to a crisp.

Yeah, if this town had a decent psychiatrist, they wouldn't need a doctor.

occasional flashes of brilliance

Speaking of gratings, didn't this town have an escape tunnel at some point? Maybe it would make sense to run there instead of trapping yourself in a house?

Or really, die of anything but zombie bites and gunshot wounds.

After all the shows which pretend that martial arts is a legitimate combat technique in a real world with guns in it, I'd honestly love to see a show in which all the fights were done with pro wrestling and lucha libre. Like Into the Badlands, but with piledrivers.

Yeah, I lost my last shred of respect for Rick the moment he yelled "Everyone! Retreat to your houses!"

No, the plan was utterly stupid from the get-go. They spent days building that zombie deflection wall. If they'd built it on the quarry access road, the zombies would never have escaped in the first place and they could find a permanent solution that actually killed the zombies instead of setting them free.

Fuck, I forgot about the RPG. You're absolutely right, that confrontation should have ended with a giant crater in the road and enough mangled motorcycle parts to maybe build Darryl a new one.

I never did understand that about Christianity. If when you die you go to the land of infinite joy, why do Christians get mad at people who commit murder? Why not thank them for freeing their loved ones from this Earthly prison?

So I was thinking of bailing out on the show right now. Are you suggesting that I should watch the next episode after the break before making that decision?

Remember that Rick's insane plan involved spending days building a giant zombie-deflection wall in the middle of the highway. If they had just built that wall across the quarry access road, they'd have all the time in the world to figure out a way to kill them all.

If you type by ear, you shouldn't be a professional writer. I don't demand much of the Internet, but if you get paid to write, you should be fluent in written English.

It's been fun, but I think I'm done with The Walking Dead. Kind of ironic that "Start to Finish" was the first episode I couldn't watch start to finish, it was just so frustrating.

I won't lie, there are a few images from my teenage years that are indelibly burned into my brain, and one of them is the curve of a black-spandex-covered breast above an electric guitar.
