I kinda think I'd like him a lot more if he didn't wear that hat all the time. I mean, it's a zombie apocalypse and yet you're still making sure you grab that stupid hat on your wait out of the trailer each morning?

I'll go with that. I also choose to conveniently ignore (as others have mentioned) the fact that Inept Black Guy's arm wound spewed what appeared to be gallons of blood and, yet, he was cool 15 minutes later when bandaged up and talking to the old guy about the RV being fine.

Gotta agree with Handlen on the cliffhanger aspect, though. I was surprisingly intrigued at the end of the episode and looking forward to next week. 

Speaking of last season when they used guts to disguise themselves, am I remembering it wrong or was that all based on masking their "alive" odor and smelling like the walkers? I could be completely making that up, but I was confused when the herd showed up last night and apparently hiding under cars and being out of

I was very glad at the end that they turned off the baby monitor. I was convinced it was going to turn into a, "But Dad, these people are great and I really love being their leader" moment where Andy wins over everyone (again) by sticking up for them, despite being a rinky dink branch of a crappy paper company.

Yep, Jane has managed to sneakily become a favorite of mine. Her inability to not point out things like, "You don't polish china" is pretty great. 

Good point. There were certainly layered meanings to the title, I just wish I hadn't seen it before the episode.

So, as much as I loved the season/episode/Gus' death scene, I have a minor gripe that is purely my own fault. I DVR'd the episode and started watching after it had aired for about 20 minutes so I could fast forward through commercials. When I selected the program from my list, I noticed (despite trying hard not to

Yeah, you're both probably right. I just got hung up on the number and how they could possibly think it would pay for any of their ideas.

I couldn't stand Raffi at first (which was sort of the point, I guess), but now his ridiculous bro-tastic attitude and lines like, "I'm day drunk, get ready to see my dick!" crack me up.

Another thing that confused me about it (and maybe the characters were being sarcastic about how little the amount was and making a joke about it, too) was the office characters fantasizing about how they'd spend the money as if it were multiple millions of dollars. Jim is going to buy land and build a home in Maine

For some reason, her screaming at the top of her lungs as Dwight backed the fork lift up and pulled a chunk of the wall off got the biggest laugh out of me. As much as the show has leveled off into mediocrity in recent seasons, Erin somehow keeps growing on me. 

The Calzone has one of my favorite Kramer physical comedy bits - him tapping his toe on the counter as turns around to leave the pizza place. 

Definitely. The way Jerry doesn't have anything prepared for his reason for returning the jacket and he sort of hesitates before he says spite is great. 

Fair enough. What you said about New Girl is precisely why I didn't even check it out. In hindsight, I'm not sure why Whitney even ended up on my DVR. 

I got a lot of different past-horror-movie vibes from a lot of different scenes, but good call. I definitely thought Mrs. Coach was going to look up at a window in the neighbor's house and see a silhouette in a rocking chair at some point. 

Good thought. Giving him more random, odd tastes that he thinks are just bitchingly cool and letting the rest of the characters mock him for them (he's already the group's whipping boy) might work.

So, the "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to the pilot was pretty obvious throughout, but I didn't realize exactly HOW much crazy shit they crammed into the episode until a friend who was on the fence about it asked me to recap it for him so he could decide whether to check it out.

But at least they didn't practically point a neon arrow with the words "This dog is gonna die" at it by having it snap at the mentally handicapped girl and having her respond, "It shouldn't have done that".

I guess I'll take your word on it being better than New Girl, which I haven't watched. It's one of those shows I had no interest in checking out; yet I somehow illogically decided to give Whitney a shot. I realize how little sense that makes.
