OK, cool, I thought I was going delirious.  I didn't know what he was talking about, but I just figured I missed the few lines that he described.

Yeah, "hobos sing in a rap group"?  I don't want to be a nerd, but it seemed pretty clear that they were Bone Thugs N Harmony, especially with the specific references to "Bone Thugs" and "Harmony" in their lyrics.

"Instead, three of the cons have already been dispatched …"
Au contraire, mon reviewer (you have to say "reviewer" with a cartoonish French accent for it to work).  We didn't actually see the small black guy die after Rick locked him out.  And if we didn't see it, it didn't happen.  There's also the matter of Daryl

Yeah, I've had that fear for a few episodes.  I don't think it would be an affair, as that would be too tonally out of place on such an optimistic show, as others said.  But a stray kiss while buzzy off champagne at a campaign victory party?  Oof, maybe.

What the fuck happened to The League?  The cinematography is all dark and the camera was shaking all over the place.  And suddenly everyone is friends?  Ruxin is congratulating everyone on their teamwork for a joke?  Andre's living room is green-screened?

That at least sounds a little more nuanced than "Takes-no-guff ronin saves the day again, because there are definitely strong-but-silent ninja/samurai warriors prowling the Atlanta suburbs … Oh, and she's totally a zombie-master."  It's a bridge too far for me.  I'm just waiting for her to start spouting one-liners.

Ha!  That's exactly what I was asking: Why are so many zombies napping in this world?  Rick even poked that one in the guard tower, like, "You awake?"

Yeah, while there's obviously some willful suspension of disbelief for the rest of the series, it originally seemed rooted in realism and horror.  Now they've basically mashed that with "Kill Bill."

Ha!  It's like Photo Hunt.  In the second one, Hershel's facial hair looks like Ming the Merciless.

Yeah.  I didn't read the comics, so I don't have the same built-in affection for the character, and it just seems like weird fanboy pulp.
