That seems like the way to go, to me. A fractured cast is weird. Dump the new kids and Mr. Schu while they're at it, and have everyone take classes in New York. Also somehow get Sue over there, and you've got yourself a great new show.

Yeah, there's no way it's Unique. Her reaction to Ryder's apology was completely sincere. I had assumed it was Kitty, but it's probably someone we don't know yet, who has a hairlip or something.

"but the episode was super creepy, and the plot lines were so WTF?!?"
You say that like it's a bad thing. 

He never raped the zombie girl. And it's uh…a little weird you "remember" something like that. He did rape Michonne repeatedly and she got revenge by slicing his body apart and cutting out his eye (can't remember if she cut off his dick or not), though she didn't burn him alive. He managed to survive the torture.

Well for one, anyone who dies becomes a zombie, and I'm sure many people are dying without getting bit. In fact, it makes sense that most people still alive this far into the plague have probably figured out how to avoid being zombie chow, and instead die of disease or exposure or are killed by other humans. And…

I loved the Comics Governor, and I wish they had gone for pure psychopath here, too. This show can't do subtle very well.

Because maybe Milton is gay? I know Dallas Roberts the actor is, and the character kind of come across that way, too.

Yeah, everyone on the show does borderline and flat-out shitty things from time to time, but I'd say they're all likable to one degree or another. Only Karen and maybe Frank are without good qualities.

Given that he made a fake will to steal their home and was about to literally throw them out in the cold in the middle of the night, I'd say the accusation was warranted.

The comics answer that, if you really want to know.

Goddammit, Karen had me fooled last week. I want so badly to believe that she's just a lost soul, fucked up by her shitty dad and formerly crazy mom, but she (and the writers) make it so very, very hard. Even Frank is more redeemable. Of all the characters, Karen's the only one who truly lives up to the show's title.

I think you may be alone in thinking this was a "strong" episode. I think ever since they've come back from the break, the episodes have been fairly weak and obviously stalling for time. (With the notable exception, of course, of last week's stellar episode).

A "B" is crapping all over it?  I'd say B was a fair grade, unless you're primed to slobber all over it.

That's okay. We all slept through season two.

Or people chow, more likely.

Doesn't that get old?  Any successful show needs to be about actual people. The zombies are just macguffins. Evil, biting, ripping macguffins.

Andrea gossiping to the Gov about the Rick/Lori/Shane baby situation was really ridiculous. I mean, Christ. Why would she share that? It's like the writers want us to hate her.

Giving new meaning to "don't use your teeth".

Milton bonding with Hershel and Martinez bonding with Daryl was the best part to me. I think they all know their positions in the post-apocalypse could've easily been reversed. I agree with Zach; the moral quandary the Governor presents to Rick would've been very fun to debate in earnest, if we didn't already know it…

I find it hard to believe anything from a Bond movie would be made up.
