re: The Walking Dead

Okay, I'm only on page 31 of the thread, but wanted to get my thoughts down into a post.

Great episode last night. My only gripe is at how slow the story seems to be moving. And it's not even that it's slow (because I am digging that), but moreso how slow it's going compared to how many episodes there are. I mean, there are only two more left until we have to wait almost a year...advance the plot a little for chrissakes.

I, too, was disappointed in the whole Mexican scene at first. When the grandma busted out and made the G's into gents, I was like WTF...but then it ended up making sense in the long run when we saw how many people were there and that they were leftover workers from the hospital. Showed that they have a compassionate side and were just trying to G it up to get supplies (guns) for defense. Loved when Sheriff tells the dude "You are the dumbest son of a bitch I've ever seen..." Hahaa.

I said last week that the first thing I'd have done at camp is build one hell of a perimeter, especially after seeing that lone walker eating the deer. But they didn't, and now they get attacked by a horde of zombies. Idiots.

As far as people who bit it, the little sister got bit. The wifebeater got bit. A random black dude got bit (unless it was that black chick and I just didn't recognize her). The dark-haired dude who had his children there got bit. And I think someone else.

One thing that pissed me off is that none of them seemed to be in a fricking hurry to get away from the zombies. Even at one point wheh someone was like "Get in the RV!", nobody seemed to move to do it. There was a clear shot to the RV...it's not like zombies were in the way. So what you should do is haul arse and fricking sprint to it. What did they do..?? Sat there huddled up moving about a foot every few seconds and wasting their ammo. I dunno, that kinda bugged me. Zombies are easy to outrun, and dangerous when you stand still. Also, I felt like there were a couple of people who got bit that could have easily defended themselves from it being done. Especially the little sister.

I was kinda aggravated at how fast they got back to camp on their feet. Seems like it only took them a couple hours or so. And they were a good bit outside the city, and couldn't have been running the whole time.

I am also starting to like Boondock Saint.

And like someone already said, why the hell couldn't they have just stolen another car..?? Seems like the obvious thing to do IMO. There have to be vehicles ALL over the place in Atlanta. shite, remember the interstate? Take one of those thousands.

All of these are just nitpicky things though...overall I think the show is awesome. I just wish they'd advance things a little bit before the end of the season.

I also loved how they answered a lot of the questions about Merle that we were asking in this thread. That was pretty cool...it was like they read it and specifically addressed them.

Also, forgot...the scene when Rick and company went back to the Mexicans, it was badass when Rick was like "Nah, my hearing is fine...you said come back armed and ready, well we're here..." (something like that). Rick is a badass.
