His character has basically been painted as being a seasoned military vet since his introduction, aside from his flashback scenes revealing why he became so single-minded and traumatized. I think the admiration of the uniform was him remembering what he used to be and the life he used to live, not him fantasizing

Not really from the show's perspective. Consider that we're all still going to keep watching whether we like what they're doing or not. They have carte blanche to do whatever they want and they're exercising that power.

If she came out every time one of the Alexandrians were doubting themselves and their situation, it would descend into "The Carol Show" and become monotonous. Also, she was worn out physically and emotionally after having to defend all these useless people when they were besieged by murderous lunatics. This was

Yes, most people understood that. Deanna's totally inept but is trying to evolve which is why stealing rather than returning the food would make no sense for either the character or storyline.

The fact that there is a sequel being made of a still currently running show whose ratings are still white hot is a blinking neon sign of lazy, opportunistic over-saturation. Even if FTWD were the greatest show ever, people should avoid it out of the principle of letting them get away with it.

The Alexandrians are essentially NPCs in a video game. Their personalities and behavior are created solely to drive a point home (usually that Rick's decisions are right) or serve a purpose and then be brutally discarded and forgotten. Few, if any, make us give a damn what happens to them. In some cases even, their

Oh, it's indeed very depressing and unhealthy but so is the world we live in. If you are optimistic about finding a partner who won't disgust and/or destroy you, then godspeed.

Yeah, noticed them clawing on the other side in a quick shot upon second viewing. From the wide money shot of them being swarmed it appeared the other side was clear.

From the widescreen shot showing the swarming herd around the dumpster, it appeared that the other side of the fence was clear. Upon second viewing however, I noticed the walkers clawing on the opposite side of the fence, which is fleeting but establishes their presence.

Porntube, my friend. It's God's gift to single guys in their late 20's who want to maintain a normal enough veneer and avoid becoming sexually frustrated serial killers.

Okay. I was very sensitive to the idea that someone might have liked Maggie as a character for some reason.

They could have definitely jumped over the fence. That was the clearest and most reasonable escape route. Barbed wire will hurt but it won't kill you. Zombies will.

That implies that Maggie was ever much of a character to begin with, while Glenn had basically two things going for him in that he was around since the very first episodes and he was apparently the only asian-american zombie apocalypse survivor (a fact I'll continue to propagate).

I initially dismissed the theory that Glenn survived by hiding under Nicholas as he was being disemboweled and devoured, but the shot was so carefully and strategically established to have Nicholas fall directly on top of Glenn and not unequivocably show Glenn's body being ripped apart that I think it demands some

As to nobody wanting Morgan to die, I've already seen quite a few comments to that effect. I do not, as he's an interesting character — sort of a non-geriatric-zen-like-black-Dale-in-ninja form. However, the irrational mercy he's exhibited at the expense of the group's future safety was extremely frustrating and

Let's be honest — Everyone's been clamoring for Carl to bite it for years, and now we're treated to a multitude of new, broody, angst-ridden adolescents. That love triangle storyline with the teens was excruciating. That kid Ron sucks a fat one. He's fucking horrible as a character and an actor. Even as a character

The relatively clean laundry of the cast is something I've found to be less credulous than some of the more absurd story lines. Considering the amount of gore being splattered on a daily basis, Team Rick seems to be remarkably immune to blood stains.

… and them immediately be eaten by zombies in a routine and completely unnecessary supply run for surplus Comcast routers.

Yes, but it was boring to begin with.

Glen can't die. He represents the entire post-apocalypse Asian-American population.
