Complaining about the show is very entertaining, so don't take these comments as a wall of negativity. Even without the backstory of previous seasons, you still get to enjoy the central entertainment: film-quality zombie action/setpieces on a weekly basis.

There was another cop with a rifle standing watch, I guess that was supposed to imply more than three cops were present. Still seemed easy enough, it's not like they have walkie-talkies or anything.

Finally, someone asks, "How come the media never depicts black men as lecherous rapists of white women?"

Limping is probably about the same speed as a walker's shuffling. He was moving in a straight line to a hole in the fence that walkers wouldn't easily crawl through. They were moving towards Beth's gunshots in a less precise fashion.

Beth realized, basically from the moment Dawn said "You owe us", that this situation is very fucked up. As Noah pointed out, the cops think they know what the wards are capable of. The cops have lived in a somewhat structured, safe environment, while Beth and Noah have lived out in the world, where survival turns you…

Sure, but why did they need her to 'give' them the girls? Couldn't they just force the doctor to save them, then do whatever greasy stuff they want? I just don't see what authority she actually possessed.

-We're back to Atlanta! Even if it is probably temporary, I always enjoy urban environments on this show.

"We didn't want to waste the bullets" = We're going to enjoy this.

"Oh shit, now I'm the second-most effective zombie killer again."

I always thought that cliche was, psychologically speaking, pretty alarming. Sure, in this post-apocalyptic reality, you have to get over some degree of squeamishness, but if you're surviving for any length of time, you'll be faced with ample opportunity to put a knife through somebody's skull.

-Everyone seemed disappointed that Gabriel was just a sheltered pussy. Kind of an awkward end to an emotional monologue.

-"Do you know Ace of Bass?"

-Rashida Jones is always funny when she's being very direct, someone else is avoiding the point, and there's a tense, awkward silence.

Scary Movie 3. Charlie Sheen's wife is cut in half by a car. The best part is when he 'shushes' her and tries to roll her eyelids down when she's still alive and she screams "NO SEX!"

I don't think she's in charge because she doesn't have the group's trust, like Rick does. I think Rick was just trying to apologize and promote Carol to a position of respect in the group.

A few more Rick Preachers: Lori, Merle, Andrea, The Governor.

If my original sense of time elapsed was off, then yeah I can see that. Almost seems like we're heading for a 'shaken, post-assault Beth' subplot, which is mighty shaky territory for the writing quality of this show.

-Bob is one of those flawed optimist types that regularly fluctuates between abnormally cheery and inconsolably depressed. I hate this personality type in reality, let alone the tone-deaf world of Walking Dead.

Carl: I just thought Dad was happy to see Tyreese.

I love how that guy swung a knife over Judith menacingly. Like, "Oh, the old HARMLESS BABY IN A BASKET TRICK? Fool me once, assholes!"
