She is your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate!

Everything post-Zahn kind of sucked. I stuck with it for a while in the 90s, but damn it went downhill fast.

Also, literally every character that flits upon the screen in any one of the six movies has a remarkable and important backstory that must be fully explored in the EU books.

Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to marrying Calista Flockhart and piercing your ear in your late 50s.

They are both fairly optimistic characters, especially Glenn. Zombies are a constant threat, but look how successful they have been this season at cleaning out the prison and starting to feel safe. But, the Governor broke them down, made them feel hopeless, and used their love for each other as part of the torture…

He's mad at himself for getting Maggie in that situation and not being able to save them. His anger and self-loathing are driving him to act in ways that are irrational and particularly inconsiderate to Maggie, who is struggling to deal with the ordeal as well. Maggie, in turn, is incorrectly attributing Glenn's anger…

Absolutely, and some of that is most definitely a function of better writing. But, all of these shows also exist in a world full of limitless people and things to do. My point was that the context of the show somewhat limits the writers' options, and they haven't adequately figured out a solution to that problem.

We're going with Ricktatorship, thanks.

Jesus, can you imagine if TWD did a bottle episode, like "Fly" in Breaking Bad, where they just sit around and play Monopoly for an hour?

"Just 'baitin in the woods. I need some Rick time."

Cardio…

I seriously thought the vision of Lori on the bridge would turn out to be a walker reaching for Rick's face before he snapped out of it.

I think part of the problem is that life post-apocalypse would legitimately be as boring as portrayed. What would you  do other than sit around and worry until the next interruption of a burst of intense, horrifying violence? Unless you want a subplot with Rick and Glenn trying to dig a ditch, or Herschel culturing…

That family drove off in a car that was positively festooned in zombie brains.

There was a driver, but you couldn't see who it was because s/he was in full body armor.

"He's Korean!"

That whole sequence was great. Daryl had a very "Last of the Mohicans" kind of night.

And yet, the bullet-absorbing power of his mustache saved Carol from something like 50 rounds, so that's something.

Who else will take him in? No one…

Every other car was a tank of margaritas, so maybe?
