The fourth book was still somewhat odd. Even without Tyrion, it felt very Lannister centric, rather than on the Starks, so it's a weird transition.

I hope he cuts off Joffrey's manhood and feeds it to the goats.

Spoiler Alert
It can also involves a wedding at which all of the guests, including the King, are murdered and the groom is taken hostage by the bride's nutjob lord father.

He had to lug the band's equipment around before they had roadies.

I've been saying this since everyone started ragging on Shane earlier in the year. He is the only character in the entire cast that ever did anything. Now what?

Game of Thrones also premieres on April 1.

It could've been worse. What To Do With Randall could've been the new Looking For Sophia.

He's honoring Dale. By killing his very best friend.

The one problem with your Carl/Walt comparison is that Shane would've been the one chasing him down. And he clearly won't be any time soon. Unless, he too, pulls a Lost.

But T-Dog is finally developing a personality beyond enjoying dinner at the CDC! He wants the bed.

Leave him alone! It's been six months and we're all still waiting. Waiting for a cure. But what if there isn't a cure? We have to stop waiting. We need to start figuring things out. Dale died last night just because he stared at a dead cow for too long, he noticed a Walker had killed it, and now you're about to just…

More likely, they'd heal very quickly. Unless, they were scratched in the arm by a car, like T-Dog. That takes a very long time to heal from. Unlike Randall getting his leg ripped off of a fence.

I completely agree. The problem with that though, is that even when all of the characters hated each other (the Sun and Jin mess in mid-Season 1 comes to mind) there was comradery. The Walking Dead doesn't have that sense among it's cast, but now that Dale, who has been the voice at the back of everyone's head telling…

HUGE step up from last week, but again-nothing happened. At all. Last year, the show was unpredictable and exciting. No one was safe. It had multitudes of possibilities.
   Now, the Gang is banging around the jungle with nowhere to go, while Shane and Otis rade the hospital and Lori complains about the level of medical…
