Or worse yet, to have to watch Talking Dead to learn what the writers had in mind but failed to effectively portray in the show.

We even saw walkers shimmy over a fence, chasing Glenn in downtown Atlanta.

Indeed. And how can you forget the walkers in TWD, who ascended the steep, narrow stairway in the Atlanta department store, where Rick had handcuffed Merle to a pipe.

Yep. As a downstate New Yorker who loves seafood, that was - for me - one of the scariest scenes in the show, not only because the fictional fishermen might catch/eat/share seafood tainted by its having fed on zombies, but because it reminded me that a lot of seafood caught/eaten in my region has fed on the corpses…

Everybody hates Chris.

The writers made Strand's fate purposely ambiguous: w/o meds, he'd surely die, but with meds (which Madison and Elena retrieved) he had chance to heal.

Yeah…also less than credible is the rapido healing of Ofelia's chest wound and of Nick's dog-bitten leg. Given those precedents and Alejandro's miraculously-quickly-healed neck bite, Strand's stab wound should be fully healed in the next week or two. If he lives.

Ofelia was never sincerely involved with the soldier; she was merely setting him up to use him to help her family, and ultimately, to be interrogated by her father. That's not called cheating; it's survival.

Don't forget: Madison said the ratty-haired gringo with drugs' la colonia is only 15 miles away (presumably from the warehouse). So, of course, that clinches it; the gringo must be Nick

I like the fact that one member of each of the hotel's three core groups went on the road trip.

Yep! I posted something to that effect last ep. And let's not forget: (1) the decidedly unzombie-like pushing of shopping carts, and (2) the lack of guts camouflage on the return trip.

Firstly, it would be really shitty if it turned out Ofelia abandoned her mates, as they think she did. It would be more interesting if some baddie(s) jacked the vehicle and took her hostage.

Wow, that's come up numerous times in the original TWD show, as has the opposite: the malicious NOT putting down of walkers one loathes. I'm surprised you missed both types of instances.

Strand DID say to Oscar (something like): "That's not Jessica in there", and, "It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to Jessica". Strand's killing of Thomas was in the same vein(s).

Let's not forget the hero-villain junkie who brought the zombie-bitten pharmacist back to la colonia (whom the pharmacist said he ended up killing).

It's the Zoolander "one-look-fits-all" acting method.

Whoever tries…they don't need no steenkin' batches!

Didn't we see that in TWD? At least, 'til ya know…

I liked her in SONS OF ANARCHY.
