Yeah from what the doctor was saying it was a full unit sent to evacuate the whole building. Even if a few have died they have to still have 10 or more still kicking. And they're fortified.

And I rather liked the episode. Gave us insight into how others dealt with this shite the last 1+ years

I didn't mind the story but hell, I just hate the way they abandon story lines for weeks. They didn't need to devote a whole episode to this. I'd rather know what's happening elsewhere as well. Next week will be nothing but the group heading to Washington. Bummer again. Just like last season.

Last season was well known as the best season

I'm still trying to figure out that last scene. Was Beth going to kill the doctor? What he did really didn't seem all that bad compared to other stuff we have seen on the show. He is in survival mode too.

Really? Maybe for you. I thought It was good but not the best by far.

This season was going great until tonight . . . the story just seems out of sorts with the show - and had many stretches.

So, the cops all have access to clean, shiny police uniforms? And they all had plenty of hair gel to get the "slicked back" look? And just how many guinea pigs do they have to eat on there at the hospital? How many bullets were in Beth's gun - seemed never-ending. And cops are humane enough to save people they find on the street, but not enough to put up with rape?

I thought it was one of the worst episodes I've ever seen.

Exactly - this too. The whole pace of the show, and the uneven storytelling just made it weird to watch. It didn't quite work.

They go make trips for what they need.

Doesn't take much. Can't imagine hairspray is a high demand item.

They can have 4 to 6 litters of up to 8 offspring per year. One pet store = Unlimited food supply.

12 I think

There was a picture of Dawn with Gorman from "before" so I think it was just the one that was being overlooked.

After a suspiciously awesome start to the season, we get the first FU of the season. An hour of retarded tropes like rapey prison guards and other tired bullshite dedicated to a character no one cares about and wasn't missing.

You're joking right?

They make trips to get new police unis and hair gel? Did you see the Guinea pig nursery? I didn't. And I don't think it was just Dawn - wasn't there another girl - that we only saw for a second closing her door in fear? Why was she doing that? And where did she go? And I guess they were going to overlook Beth's rape as well? And the rapist cop speaking about how he hated the female cop's leadership - in front of her? Was he that big of a billy-bad-arse that he could get away with doing anything he wanted? They can beat up poor skinny black kids but not do anything about that guy?

It was just weird, totally uneven storytelling.

And what the poster here said about Beth looking like she was going to kill the doctor? Wtf was that about?

What a shite episode for an otherwise awesome show.

I think she was going to kill the doctor and maybe attempt to take everyone out one by one. Kill the doctor, let him turn, let him attack other people. IDK.

I think the fact that he tricked her into killing the other doctor pissed her off and made her think that she can't trust him.

I don't think it is this. They seemed to be able to do laundry? At least I thought that was part of I Hate Chris' job.

Yeah they don't leave unless they have to.

Gorman was doing a supply run when he found Beth.

Is the general consensus here that this episode was an abortion?

If not, I need to find a new place to talk about this show.

This ep was awful.

Even if it is setting up Carol faking to be brought in and she takes the place down with her bottle rockets, it still wasn't worth an hour.

It was only bad because the first three episodes had so much action. It was a "building" episode. It happens.

And why did Gorman kill that other girl and then leave her to turn? They obviously know by now that dead people turn. Seemed like a weird oversight.

I thought she had killed herself in the office with the hopes of her zombie self fricking shite up.

Gorman mentioned that she wasn't a "team player", so I assumed that he tried to rape her, she fought back, so he killed her.

On a re-watch, I guess this is what happened because she wrote "frick you" with some scissors on the floor - which is pretty impressive if you are bleeding out - which looks like that is how she died - there was blood flowing from her arm. We know she wanted to die. I dunno. Bad setup.

And Beth is just roaming around the office and misses the body the first time around. The cop doesn't see it either. And Beth also just happens to grab the right elevator key in the drawer - out of 7-8 keys.
