I was thinking Rick might have mentioned to the Guv's new friends something about how, you know, he straight up MASSACRED HIS OWN PEOPLE, but I guess he didn't think that was relevant.

It's going to be awfully awkward when he realizes that the older girl is the prison psychopath.

What bothers me most about this show isn't necessarily the poor characterization of the main characters, but the inconsistent motives of the scores of nameless extras that inexplicably get caught up in the madness.

One of my favorite HGTV programs is Income Property with Scott McGillivray. Of course, the show is personality based, but it does make an effort to educate viewers in a fairly specific area in which the host is a legitimate expert.

I cannot look at the title without reading it as poo-MAY-min in my head.

I feel terrible for Morrissey. It must be hard to act when the writers can't give you any consistency of character or a clear motivation.

I liked the idea of a totally reformed Governor existing in this world. What would become of somebody like that in a world with no criminal justice system and no social order?

"If you kids don't stop complaining, I'm going to turn this car around and head back to the farm!"

First of all, many of the references they used to make were in themselves more timeless.

Not to mention that there's very little subtlety to his manipulative tricks. He just kills people like a sick lunatic, then magically gets everyone's unconditional trust.

Not to mention how easy it is to gain the unconditional trust of a man who knows you routinely kill in cold blood - a man whose brother you just murdered for personal gain.

I feel like the writers loathe or resent their audience to some extent.

Why did the Guv and Co. feel it imperative to leave their fairly secure apartment complex and randomly hit the road in a broken down truck? Why are people in the apocalypse so nomadic?

Hershel has been elevated to near saint status.

C+ as an hour of TV.

But, hey, on the flip side, we get to watch a nearly exact recreation of old season three plotlines!

C. Decent episode, but we're back to Stupidville, (pop. Everyone) as you mention.

I'm loving the Cecily Strong is getting sketches outside of WU because she's one of the strongest sketch performers.

And all the characters next week will be asking, "Where's Brian?"

Bob's Burgers has a remarkable respect for its side characters that I really appreciate. They stay true to them while finding ways to incorporate them into the story that don't come off as hamfisted. Very reminiscent of the early Simpsons years.
