and are you able to insert those little accent marks within the forum, or are you copy pasting stuff that does it?

and that is a really good point not brought up in the episode and should be a perfectly rational reason to take him.

and I probably would have coup de graced his ass, but would have been tempted to leave him there yelling and screaming and slowing down walker pursuit. I mean, dead is dead, and if I'm not going to sit around and have to watch him get eaten, I think I could put it out of my head that that's what I did to the fucker.

I don't even understand the context of the admission, but Lori is damn annoying no matter what she does. I mean, you tell a kid you're having a baby. You don't actually have to explain how that happened. It's not like he asked the question that prompted a need for "the talk".

@avclub-cc225865b743ecc91c4743259813f604:disqus I'm not sure how you figure Shane had no choice but to kill Otis. He definitely figured he only had to be able to outrun Otis, but that's a far cry from needing to hinder Otis' escape as well. It was a calculated move for survival, but I'm not buying that there was no…

it's hormonal. He'd been telling buddies for years that no matter how much he exercises, he just can't get those last 5 to 50 pounds off his gut, and now he has proof.

Shane didn't go to the loft and shoot fish in a barrel because he was proving his point to the group - That they all had to fight to survive. By letting the walkers out, he forced his group to defend itself. Otherwise any one of them could have just gone in and done the deed, keeping the others' hands clean of it all.

It looked like Dale was driving spikes into trees or something so he'd know where to find the guns again when he needed them. But if you need guns and have to go find them, something is seriously wrong. Dales actions made no sense to me as a character or rationally, and were not forgiveable as a member of the group.

ever look at the barn in the show? no two gates.

I've got to disagree. Dale hiding guns is completely irrational. Whatever he thinks the danger of guns present poses, the fact that they are hidden in the woods when walkers could break out of the barn or come out of the woods any time trumps that.

Shane is not really a good leader though. He leads so long as it keeps himself alive. Back in season 1 he was more than willing let folks go and assume they were dead. He refused to stick his neck out and discourages others from doing so as well. Now, that might make for good individual survival, and I might think to…

he was asking Herschel to take the zombie, not Shane. I think he wanted his hands free to restrain Shane, but noone was having any of it.

which is why Maggie's response to the idea of Rick's group going to another farm fall flat. Burned out? fine rebuild? Overrun? Fine, clear it out and start planting. The problem with the farm, of course, is their lack of experience and supplies to start farming and security. They need a keep.

I thought the guys in the van were white, I had thought that the "you ok?" line came from one of them in english when they were out of Jax's line of fire, but maybe it was Jax saying that to Tara as he brought her away from the van. It seemed to me that Romea burned them to ensure that Jax would not be able to ID…

what was sophisticated about walking through the woods, exactly? I looked at them and thought they were bunched up quite and bit and walking almost upright through open space. easy targets, and that was before it turned out the open space was mined.

no. he's been on death row a while now.

well shit
I knew it would suck. I expected it to suck. But I retained a sliver of hope it wouldn't. Back burnered to the budget theater or flix I suppose.

she's actually a blonde? I've only seen her with red hair, so thought she was a red. being a red blooded and headed male, I liked her that way. I still don't like the blonde locks, even if she's lost her red status with me. bah.

fucking blonde hair
they made Emma Stone a blonde. I hate that.

he should double down on that
and take the Reacher role as well.
