He's practically mute for 1.5 seasons & now suddenly it's The Carl Show! Hate him so much
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:19 (twelve years ago) link
They really should've not done the last two minutes of this episode.
Carl's shot attracted the zombies, right? Why not just Shane's and leave it at that? Such a dumb overreach.

presumably they needed to introduce the zombiefying of the recently dead

I feel like zombiefying of irl dead ppl makes the show actually maybe/hopefully interesting imo. But why did it take them TWO seasons to get to it, is my question
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:38 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not sure, though this is the first season they've been anywhere long enough to see the aftermath, though it happend so quick with Shane I'm not sure why it didn't with Dale. Either way its a good reveal to hold off on until now, even if it was handed poorly (that one line about zombie cop they killed who didn't have a bite mark...and....this?).
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:43 (twelve years ago) link
They shot Dale in the head before he died I'm pretty sure.
― this fucking guy that i speak to you about (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:47 (twelve years ago) link
ooh, of course they did. my bad. I do tend to play Bejeweled when I watch it.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:50 (twelve years ago) link
the zombie cop wasn't a cop, that was Randall. Shane broke his neck
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:51 (twelve years ago) link
lol bejewelled
No, the cop from episodes ago when they were going to originally kill Randall. They made a point of noting that the dead cop had no bite marks, and they assumed it was the scratches that did it. Maybe I'm misremembering/misreading.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:54 (twelve years ago) link
And I find myself reaching for Bejewelled whenever there are dialogue scenes and I feel my eyes are going to roll into the back of my head.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 12 March 2012 05:55 (twelve years ago) link
emo days of our lives with occasional zombies
Also Lori is either awesome at sticking the knife in with Shane or just totally oblivious. "I dont know whose baby it is" "Sorry that u fell in love with me k thx bye"
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 06:59 (twelve years ago) link
carl is SO ANNOYING, his little fucking face.
herchel for me is the comedy gold of this show, all his lines are just so stereotyped and awful, to the point that it's actually hilarious. "me and that couch became very good friends, yep folks, now i have to go until my next appearance in this bad videogame"

still watch it asap on a streaming site every week
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 12 March 2012 09:33 (twelve years ago) link
I'd like to see them go the length of the comic, which I haven't read. Just like watching zombie drama. My only real complaint is too many commercials, and yeah hate Carl.
― JacobSanders, Monday, 12 March 2012 09:38 (twelve years ago) link
carl was a little less offensive this week. actually I thought this was the best ep of the season.
― Simon H., Monday, 12 March 2012 10:00 (twelve years ago) link
to be fair it has definitely improved with this ep and last week's, hugely.
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 12 March 2012 10:11 (twelve years ago) link
I agree. And it's still got awesome special effects no matter what. I mean, how could I walk away from a pitchfork through a zombie head :D
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 13:50 (twelve years ago) link
why is everybody trying to give carl a gun that isn't his.
WTF WHERE DID YOU GET THIS GUN, CARL, ARE YOU INSANE?i stole it from daryl and don't want it anymoreYOU MUST KEEP IT
― brownie, Monday, 12 March 2012 14:18 (twelve years ago) link
one of the major zombie rules that has NOT yet shown up in the show but almost certainly WILL (because some big plot points circle around it) is that if ANYBODY in this new world dies (whether it's from a zombie bite or not), they eventually come back to life as a zombie.
This is one of the things from the comics that seemed unbelievably dumb.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Monday, 12 March 2012 14:19 (twelve years ago) link
i got the feeling that this was a recent/new development in the zombie 'illness'. although I guess, also, they haven't seen anyone die from anyone other than zombies until recently.
― akm, Monday, 12 March 2012 14:22 (twelve years ago) link
what about those dudes they shot in the bar?
― brownie, Monday, 12 March 2012 14:24 (twelve years ago) link
both shot in head right?
― piggyback payoff (NZA), Monday, 12 March 2012 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
dave shot in head, tony first in gut then in head
i appreciated that they finally attempted to make some shots of this show look vaguely comic book-y this episode. want more of that please.
like, i can stand dumb father/son talks if they are going to silhouette it in stark black n white etc
― piggyback payoff (NZA), Monday, 12 March 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link
Hasn't this always been the case from Night of the Living Dead on? The dead or freshly dead come back to life? Because otherwise there's a chicken or egg thing going on.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 12 March 2012 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
As the main contribution to Zombie Lore from the series, it seemed pretty striking when I read it, but it being a bombshell (It is I think the bit mentioned above where Rick says "Don't you see, WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD (do you see)") is a bit ridiculous, like dude there are already these things called crematoriums?
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 12 March 2012 15:11 (twelve years ago) link
The scene where they find a "live" zombie hanging from a tree may be the first indicator that the living turn to zombies when they die
― monkeys on the ceiling fan, ceiling fan (CaptainLorax), Monday, 12 March 2012 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
Plus having a zombie horde show up doesn't seem too unrealistic given that they already established that there is huge hordes of roamers (or whatever they're called). Also, they are still very near populous areas given their proximity to Atlanta and Peachtree City
― monkeys on the ceiling fan, ceiling fan (CaptainLorax), Monday, 12 March 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
yes but did they all suddenly die at once
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 16:30 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know what you mean by that but it's about time we have an episode that has ten times more killing
― monkeys on the ceiling fan, ceiling fan (CaptainLorax), Monday, 12 March 2012 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
maybe i should watch it again but how rotten did the horde look? could it be randall's people who were supposedly only 5 miles away, all now zombified? that would be convenient.
― piggyback payoff (NZA), Monday, 12 March 2012 19:33 (twelve years ago) link
did they ever go back to what that scientist dude told rick? assume it's something to do with anyone who dies becoming a zombie.
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 12 March 2012 19:54 (twelve years ago) link

It let us have a cool scare in the barber shop if you know what I'm talking about.
Overall I enjoyed the comics a lot. Well, I've only read the first 50 or so.
― monkeys on the ceiling fan, ceiling fan (CaptainLorax), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 01:58 (twelve years ago) link
I only read the first book compilation so perhaps it got better down the road but I just didn't care for it.

those of you who have read the comics please spoil me this - do the buried dead ever rise from their graves? i am a sucker for a rise-from-the-grave scene.

good season closer. felt like this show really picked up in the last 1/4 of the season, maybe dumping darabont was the right move.
― akm, Monday, 19 March 2012 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i liked it enough to watch next season.
Disappointed in the zombie attack tho. I don't think it was well choreographed. Two scenes of Herschel firing his shotgun was two too many.
I'd like to have seen them shoot the zombie attack like this (beginning at 2:50) with the french = zombiesbritish = Herschel

why did all the zombies suddenly stop and walk in one direction?
also, was there a helicopter in the sky in the first scene, or was I imagining it?
― akm, Monday, 19 March 2012 17:48 (twelve years ago) link
yes, there was a helo. i think it was to explain the reason the zombies took to the countryside. they followed it.
― are chads electorate (brownie), Monday, 19 March 2012 17:49 (twelve years ago) link
it was a bit weird, the mass movement, and then when glenn said later "they're migrating or something".
think rick's conversion into shane II was a bit silly, and the end was a bit flat.
wtf was that hooded thing with the two human tank top zombies
