She also exists in a weird universe where she can afford her apartment without a real job.

Overall a solid episode. I found myself annoyed at Julia. She told Joel how she felt, but as he said- it's his business, and obviously a successful one. She might not have all the answers and should really back off. With that said, I found it a bit silly that Joel allowed himself to get so drunk with Pete. He was…

Heck- I'd have followed that girl that told Lindsay about the Dead anywhere!

Why wasn't Axl at college? I know he's relatively close-by, but this seemed more like an extended stay home.

I know it's fairly common for married couples to casually mention bodily functions, but the thought of Frankie "pooping" and then casually strolling out into the kitchen to get food made me kind of sick to my stomach - didn't help that the toilet seemed to flush and then she walked out kind of simultaneously, so no…

While Masters acted cruelly in how he said it (telling Virginia to get the lab coats)- it's about time that education and hard work are shown to matter. When she gets to his level, she'll tell someone else to get the coats- in the mean time, get to it!

It's weird how differently people can view characters and a show. While the characters could often be nasty to each other, I always felt that they each had each other's back overall and the overall family unit (including Jackie) was strong.

Well, we disagree I guess. I think Roseanne did provide a realistic (for tv) portrait of a lower middle class family. Admittedly, it did touch on many of the hot-button issues, but it did so in a way that I think most would relate to. For example, when Becky was trying to go to college and then medical school, while…

Then you're in for a treat when you finally do catch it. It may even be worth purchasing on DVD if you can get for a really good price.

In a vacuum, no- but compared to the youngest child on Modern Family, and even Luke (his line reading is often stilted in my opinion), yes.

I really enjoy the Middle as well- but have you watched Roseanne? I'd be willing to defend that just about every season (barring the last) of that show is still among the best family sitcoms of all time. The dialogue is still fresh and funny after repeated viewings, and the child actors are actually very good.

The smell of them ON a person may mask your scent, and they used that strategy (quickly forgotten apparently) quite successfully. However, merely standing a foot or two behind a walker as Andrea does shouldn't give much appreciable protection. We've seen more than one walker attack people- in your scenario, once one…

I don't even know how that helped her get through zombie infested territory. Michone had taken out the teeth and arms and used the zombies as pack mules- here, Andrea just kept the zombie on that pole in front of her and the other zombies ignored her? Why? Because of the pole? Why is that zombie different from any…

What angered me most about this episode was that Claire didn't think Luke was old enough to stay home alone- Come on, they just had an episode in which they showed him growing up and entering high school. He's 14 and in 9th grade, and yet he's not allowed to spend an evening alone by himself?? How ridiculous.

Right- this new daughter seems like she could be Alex on Modern Family.. even looks like her a bit.

I thought Rothstein told Margaret that his identity should be kept secret- NOT that she should do work for him. Am I incorrect?

One nagging question (at least to me) was answered in this episode. The question of why wouldn't zombies just eat their victims to bones so that a new zombie wasn't made…. when the victim dies, he eventually turns to a zombie WHILE HE IS STILL BEING EATEN… the zombie attacker than loses interest and moves on, leaving…

Agreed. There was really no reason not to call Phil.

"The Dunphy plot I confess I just didn't quite understand. Maybe it's
because I don't have kids and thus don't understand parental guilt, but I
can't imagine why Claire felt the need to lie to Phil about how she
went to Luke's soccer game. Yes, yes, he had the game of his life and
Phil missed it and that's a bummer.…

She actually did, although you could tell she was surprised that nobody backed her up.
