Pretty sure you forgot the part where Shane tried to murder Rick so he could be with his wife.

I also think a lot of Shane's motivation for his mentality wasn't as well-meaning as he made it out to be. It was a lot more about his own insecurities, fears, and jealousy, and covering for that by posturing as tough and willing to do what's necessary. Rick isn't like that. Rick really is only as bad as the world has…

I'm kind of expecting, considering that Morgan was able to take two on single-handedly, that Rick's people will pretty much demolish the Wolves in the first episode of season 6 (there's also some comic book precedent for that). But it will still solidify the validity of Rick's position, that these people need to be…

True. It's still pretty damn great.

It's AV club, dude. If pretentious hipsters get on your nerves, you're in the worst part of the internet this side of Pitchfork.

They haven't really caused any problems, though (well, except for Gabriel, but he's not really part of Rick's group per se). They've just brought attention to problems that were being ignored- Aiden being an incompetent asshole, Tobin being incompetent (but less of an asshole), Pete being abusive. If anything they've…

That's not what Rick wanted to do, though. Carol said he should kill Pete, but Rick never agreed. He said that Pete should be disciplined, and if he wasn't willing to be separated from Jessie, then he would be killed. He had several opportunities to kill Pete where he clearly forced himself not to- the scene by the…

It doesn't make much sense that Michonne is so great with her katana either. That's TWD for you.

Pete didn't go crazy randomly, though. Carol goaded him to make him lash out and prove Rick's point. Because Carol is cold as fuck.
The more I think about it, the less the idea of Rick being right bothers me. His outburst last episode felt like a fairly accurate portrayal of somebody suffering from PTSD from war. But…

Yeah, if somebody gets in a tussle with a zombie, doesn't get bit immediately, and then it cuts away, you can be pretty much certain they'll come out okay.

I get that you have to look for the show's problems and not just get swept up in it when you're writing a review, but I don't really care. I just know I had an absolute blast watching that. Even Sasha's stuff, which has been pretty undeniably bad, worked well for me in this episode. In retrospect it had a ton of…

That seems like the deal. I feel like that crossover is going to really highlight the fact that literally every superhero eventually wants to bang Felicity.

Honestly, when it comes down to the decision between a righteous dramatic exit and helping his partner, I can totally see Ollie going for the former in canon.

When Ray blasted Roy with his repulsor thing I was like "oh shit, I'm not even going to try to like this guy anymore." Seeing him get his ass handed to him was awfully satisfying. Much as I hate the character, though, I have to say, I didn't expect CW Iron Man to look that good.

Brandon Routh is likable. Ray Palmer is a prick.

I don't think they're sabotaging Felicity necessarily, but it looks like they're trying to give Laurel an in with Oliver in any case.
They're clearly trying to make us like Ray/Felicity (Raylicity?), and it's not really working for me because, y'know, their relationship still started out with him being an out-and-out…

That's not necessarily true. Why do you assume they've been doing fine this whole time? We don't know anything about their history. We have no idea how many people they've lost, or even if there's a reason they haven't been slaughtered yet.

I mean, it's been made very clear at this point that these people have been incredibly lucky and have also lost a lot of people as a result of incompetence. Noah's community was a perfect example of this- the safety of the walls made them weak, and as soon as they lost that they were slaughtered. There's absolutely no…

I thought the same thing.

You're supposed to be creeped out by Rick/Jessie. I like Carl/Enid just fine, though.
