Thinking about next season, something struck me: I really can't imagine introducing external threats to this group of survivors.

So, many of us have been complaining that so many characters - the whole cast basically - is boring and bland.

I'd like to issue an apology. I'd like to issue an apology to Dale, may he rest in peace.

The thing that I found so confusing in the tone of that episode was that Kaling seems to have a really unique ability for WTF interviewers: the ability to become really combative for the time it takes to speak the combative sentence and then let it completely go the second after that.

Nope, it was definitely Dale for me.

Zach, you bring up the biggest problem with the show, even more than the characters: the frickin' farm. For a zombie show, it eliminates the zombie threat almost entirely and it removes that strange wish fulfillment "the world is empty and it now is your sandbox to play in" aspect that zombie films - like Zombieland -…

Nah, he was too annoying and self-righteous to keep.

I have surprisingly little snark for this episode. It was pretty good! And better yet, it actually used its characters well, which I never thought I'd be able to say again.

I'm not sure how not remembering an aspect for a character that was dropped in once and then never talked about again until this episode invalidates criticism.

I'm pretty amazed at the work Joan Allen is doing in this show considering I only know Joan Allen from the Bourne films and that Jason Statham Death Race remake and in both those cases, she played characters that couldn't be further to the other side of the personality spectrum than the character she plays here.

Zach, I realize you probably have to have more hope for the future of the show, giving that you are obligated to watch it every week, but I don't see a progression of the show's quality.

Todd, I'm more worried then you because it just seems that Luck is doing something really unlike anything we've seen from television recently. It really feels like more of a prestige movie format than a television show.

Hey, Andrea, just a little bit of criticism in your line of thinking:

I'd put Dale ahead of both of them, but I'd say they are three of the most unlikeable characters of the past say 10 years or so of television and I'm including characters that are actually supposed to be the villains of their shows.

I didn't mind them trying to save them. That actually made sense to me. Sure, he was just taking shots at them, but it's understandable given they just gunned down two of their men, and having a kid there screaming to not leave him, I get why they'd want to do something.

I didn't why you'd think this would come off badly, I pretty much guarantee with everything you said. I think they really botched the love triangle.

The first 15 minutes deserved about a A-, the other 45 deserves about a D+.

Yep about Dale and his explanations for how he knows the exact details are getting more and more absurd.

I feel like T-Dog is still on the show for the sake of diversity, but someone should tell the writers that if your one black character is named T-Dog, you aren't doing it right.

What was the Escalante and Jill Hennessy scene about?
