Damn. Mrs.R… beat me to it, but Jennifer Runyon had perfectly respectable career, lasting almost a decade and a half.

Jennifer Lawrence isn't talented. She brings the perspicacity of fruit to acting. She just has IT, in spades, which is a pretty good thing to have. She's one of those actors who when the director calls "Action" just looks like she has something going on.

You also can't really punch someone in the face without its putting your hand in a cast for six weeks. There are a ton of bones in the human hand and some are about as sturdy in most people as potato chips.

They'll come on another community and end w the beginning of a confrontation with a character that will make stick figures seem complex. Bank it.

"We all"?

His look, too, in the final shot of the episode, right after Eugene originally tells him "I've a mission" is some top-notch acting.

Soon to be re-titled, The Soggy Dead.

I liked her little sigh after she turned away, too. It was a nice touch on a show that doesn't do them well.

You, apparently, cannot. Get a grip, youngster.

My impression was they got a long way in the firetruck, but that some of the thirty seconds intelligently crafted shows use to show miles passing had to get cut. Remember after the truck dies and Glenn's sweeping pov is shown? Off to the right, or NE by the map, it looks like the Washington Monument maybe 50 miles…

It was also an appropriately nerdy way of him figuring out how to belong to the group, which in turn opened the door to him confessing.

It's the impossibility of his healing. He's unable to stop being violent, even extremely violent, which was suggested by his excessively brutal killing at the beginning of act one and by his inability to accept Rosita's suggestion that they rest a day. I thought it was a solid metaphor, especially for a show as badly…

Agreed with all of that, and it would have been easy to write a one minute scene where Eugene says some convincing biochemistry stuff. But, hey, Maggie can't remember she has a sister. so…

Because they can't write for shite. You COULD just make Eugene a better liar, with a BS in BioChem or something, but nooooooo

The thing is, all they showed was confusion. Who the hell had any idea what was going on, really, in the opening seconds of each act and of the tag scene? And that info is key to the episode. Really, really crappy storytelling.

It's beyond idiotic, that there's no way to know that from the tv episode; or that there was an attempted rape; or that these were Abraham's wife and kids. I was under the impression they bolted because he was a wife beater, not because he had just saved them from The Fate Worse Than Death.

There's no chance I would recognize the actress in anything else.

The setup was for shite. The episode played a lot better the second time through, when I got key information elsewhere, like what the hell was supposed to have happened in the supermarket, who the woman and children were, and so on. Without that the episode played badly, and from the comments that's what a lot of…

The idea of revealing Abraham's essential backstory with a glimpse at the beginning of each act of his past before cutting to him in the present is a perfectly decent one, but its execution was weak. There was no tying together of the images of past or present, or any suggestion of why we were seeing what we were…

Don't know about the comics but I've heard rumors of movies where people head north to that golden land where zombies freeze for several months a year. It's a distinct tradeoff, though. Food production would be very tough, as would staying warm.. Getting around in snow country would be pointless (what would the point…
