I feel like The Walking Dead was a show that suffered due to the baffling backstage war between it's creative management and AMC. They went through three showrunners in three seasons and for some reason AMC was apparently being stingy with money despite TWD being their biggest show. In my opinion the show was seldom…

If you want to know the true reason why this season of The Walking Dead is so great thus far look no further than the pacing. Where in previous seasons (most notoriously season 2) we would spend multiple episodes in one area watching the group trying to figure out how they were going to handle something, this season…

…wait a minute…THE SALMON LADDER KILLED SARA! It was both embarrassed by her ability to conquer it and was jealous with how she stole Oliver away from it. It was a crime of passion!

I may be in the minority here but I'm actually digging the whole Laurel plotline currently. It may be moving a little quickly but as we're sitting here in the 3rd season it doesn't really bother me as much. Plus I'm liking the fact that they're making it clear that Laurel is definitely a fixer upper who's running on…

I tend to not bring it up but I feel like his youthfulness (as well as the fact that he seems to not own a shirt) is the show's obligatory "CW-ness" at work. It doesn't show up as often as in other shows but it's still definitely there.

I laughed a little too hard at this

True. I was really annoyed that seemingly everyone who was given the vial on the street took the Venom.

I really could've done without seeing Venom be used this early but whatever. The stuff with Bruce was fine but I'm honestly not that interested in it because I could care less about young Bruce. To be honest I don't really CARE about any of the characters on this show but I'm at the very least pretty interested in…

I don't think you can get turned from a scratch and if you can it'd probably have to be pretty deep.

Lol no, I was referring to the leaving the family and dying on his own.

…Actually now that I think about it you're right. I'm pretty sure they locked all of those rapists in one of train cars. Also in the preview it seemed like Beth was at some sort of institution.

Yeah adding someone addressing their departures or asking where they were headed into the scene would've eliminated any confusion but I feel like that's more of a nitpick for an oversight rather then a big time problem that detracts from the episode.

I'd entertained that possibility as well. That's probably the case.

That's definitely a possibility

For what Marley & Me? HAH

You're probably right (also he's unabashedly positive which never bodes well for you on this show) but I'm still gonna wait and see. If anything I hope that he ends up giving them a bad case of Montezuma's Revenge and yells "FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!" on The Talking Dead.

That's what I immediately thought when I saw them eating his leg. I was like "You guys are either about to get a SERIOUS case of the shits or you've just infected your entire squad".

He's either bitten and was about to pull a Marley & Me or the less feasible option, he was overcome with emotion as things seemed to finally be looking up for them.

On the flipside of that question, did they just poison/infect themselves?

Exactly. His whole demeanor in the church made me feel like he was taking it all in before he kicked the bucket. The fact that he looked a bit sickly when he was looking at the church from outside also leads me to believe he got bit.
