Yeah, are the writers actively trying to kill this show? It had a few really good things in there--that were stretched soooooooooooooooooooooooo long. They had ten minutes of episode that they stretched into forty-five. Stupid!
Oh, and can Andrea just get killed already? I mean, I understand the idea of characters being imperfect, and the need to have characters the audience dislikes--but this show tries to do that with ALL their characters. It's really annoying.
If they don't pick it up, this will be my last season.

yeah... the Andrea character wreaks of writers having to drum up conflict where none exists.

I enjoyed parts of it. I didn't enjoy that they had another episode with fifteen minutes worth of stuff played out over 45 minutes.
I thought it was alright. Although some of the sets looked like cardboard cutouts that I could have put together.
All of the scenes in towns are filmed in real towns with real buildings. In fact, the only building that is not real is the town hall in Woodburry. I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago for work and we took most of one day touring them.
Last nights episode was from a great issue from the comic. It happened much earlier than in the comic, but was great for anyone who is a fan of the comic. I loved it, one of the best of the season IMHO.
There was a scene last night where Rick first walks into town and they walk past 3-4 buildings that were connected to each other that looked really fake.
Wonder if he lives between the prison and Woodbury, or off in some other direction.
Also, very telling that they wouldn't pick up the hitchiker, but did pick up his backpack on the way back.
It was on the other side of Atlanta, Rick's hometown.
Was just figuring they might pick him up or at least revisit on their way to the Woodbury invasion.

Yeah, it was a good change of pace. An entire episode without Andrea acting like an idiot was a nice change of pace.
SECTION 11

It was old school. I thought it was way more entertaining than any episode with the Governor, who just reminds me of Cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch.
Another great episode. They are really building up to the battle at the end of the season.

Indeed.
Key-rist! They've put about 1/2 a season's worth of stuff into 1 season and just draaaaagged it out. Some good things in there, but not enough actual advancement of the plot. As usual.

Yeah...
I didn't care for Merle but I didn't want to see him killed off and turned like that. But I think it's really going to define Darryl.

They are doing a GREAT job of making me really hate the Governor. So much so, that I almost don't enjoy watching the show. But, at the same time, I can't turn it off. Though I did binge watch all of the episodes from the second half of this season over the weekend. So it was about 5 hours straight of the Governor doing horrible things.
I guess that's a sign of good writing. Making you hate a character so much that you almost want to just turn it off. (But you obviously can't.)
Despite all of the flaws and implausibility of the show, it's still pretty entertaining. And I actually like the slower paced episodes which focus more on the characters. I know most don't and just want constant action and plot movement.
Also, is anyone else getting a "Jericho" vibe this season? Pretty similar plot as the final season of Jericho.

Yeah I really liked this one after several duds IMO. This season has really felt off track and last night just felt like the show finally got back on track.

How ironic that the Governor who calls the zombies biters, bites Merle and then turns him into a zombie not from his bite but by shooting him in the chest. Quite a statement by the writers.
