Actually, if it were realistic it would be covered in about an inch of pollen.

There's probably certain neighborhoods in Baltimore the zombies shouldn't invade after dark. 

Yeah, but it was a nice shot so I was willing to forgive it.  The walkers in there looked pretty rotted. 

What they need to do is take a bunch of those handgrenades and put them into the walkers' mouths.  Really cram them in there so when you take the pin out the spoon is held in place by the esophagus.  Then when the Governor's guys are killing the zombies with heatshots and decapitations on their way into the prison,

"Welcome mat" was the superior joke.

This show had what the season has been missing— those little moments of dark humor.  That's what grounds the show and the characters; it isn't just all high melodrama. 

You know what pisses me off about this week's episode of The Walking Dead?  There's no way it should have this good.  Last week's episode was like being called stupid by a stupid person for a forty-three minutes, this week was as good and as solid an hour the show has produced since the pilot.

Yeah.  Boyd's arc is one thing that makes me think Rooker can make Merle a sympathetic character over on Walking Dead.  That said, Walking Dead doesn't have Justified's writers and if they tried to get through as much character and plot as Justified did with this episode it'd take them the next four seasons. 

I guess my pick for Drew Thompson is going to go back to that guy Boyd spoke to for a moment when he first walked into Napier's party.

Any other show I would think it was misdirection.  On this show, fuck it, I'm just happy to see where they take it.

Yeah, it's a real credit to his portrayal of Bobby that that's how I think of him now too.  I would have thought he'd always be Ellsworth to me.

I took it as Raylan's acceptance of who his father is (or was). 

I didn't think he would die, which made his being gone all the more powerful when Raylan reveals it late in the episode.  They do it almost without drama, just, "He died an hour ago."  Absolutely amazing.

You mean the man who *wrecked* the buffet at the Harrow Club this morning?

I am not wearing any pants.

Yeah, first she's pissed he's telling her she's full of shit and then she swoons a bit when he says she looks like Ava Gardener.  Raylan and Boyd really are two sides of the same coin.

I was hoping when Tim took over for Raylan he would have said, "I don't know who Ava Gardener is."

It would be funny if Cousin Johnny misspelled her name though.  It's not like he can go back the whorehouse and check it against her tax forms.

Maybe Drew Thompson is the hot girl who worked in the office that one episode in first season.  He got a sex change and a ton of plastic surgery.  We'll get her back on this show someday damnit.

My favorite scene of the whole show would be the scene at the dinner table at the end of the pilot.  Justified is definitely a show that hit the ground running.
