concise explanation for why Rick and co aren't the bad guys at this stage, anyone?

no consequences? Jerry was demoted to night shifts for that!

yeah the Mudhoney chapter is really a Sub Pop chapter. it's kind of funny

the teddy bear incident

funny, i came out of the Butthole Surfers chapter losing respect for them and not wanting to listen to their music. they just came across like psychotic idiots, one of whom should probably have been locked up. pretty sure there was a helping of racism or homophobia in there as well, although my memory is hazy.

that short shot was ridiculous, like no-one could possibly have picked up on that without being told when and where to look, and even then you could barely see a thing. such silliness.

'i thought you were the last woman on earth. you're not'
ho.ly. shit. abraham is a tool. hope he dies, horribly.

still remember the gut-wrenching feeling of the Governor's first prison assault

it's not all that clear to me after watching it. they sort of explain it but it's very murky and hard to follow.

wasn't it implied in The Abyss that the aliens might have had some influence on that sequence? or is that the ending i'm thinking of?

they're really getting fond of the almost-but-not-quite nudity

it wasn't his gun, it was Daryl's gun that he'd left in the truck like a complete moron. these people should all be dead a million times over by now.

yeah but my point is that's just pure luck on Daryl and Rick's part. we're supposed to believe these guys are grizzled survivors, but week after week they survive situations through pure luck (like last week where that one guy decides to go behind the truck with him and somehow dies silently). i'm just fed up of the…

the part where Jesus pulled the gun on Daryl - sadly i think that was the point i had enough of this show. Daryl should be dead.

'The whole point is that Rick is meant to essentially kill her because she won't let go of Koral. That would have made sense and then the other kid has a reason to go mental, but no, they screwed the whole thing up.'

i think they still don't want to blow their cover, hence the lack of reaction, what can they really do that won't make the situation worse at that point.

actually Dr Benton from Season 1 onwards of ER (Eriq La Salle) was an earlier and much more nuanced precursor of said archetype.

Charles Manson was never in The Wire though

i noticed this with American Beauty recently. completely missed that backlash.
