I would love for someone to make a fan map of the prison and where everyone else is based of off time and geographical clues. I've searched for missing kids in a grid pattern once, 5 sq mi area. With 250+ people and we ran into groups the whole night/day. I find it hard to comprehend how unless they all left in complete opposite directions but generally headed in the same direction(tracks) they haven't seen evidence of the group.
I guess the fact that there are 15 of them makes is more plausible. But also, with the exception of Glen/Lezbo truck ride, they aren't 5 mi apart.

All told I loved the episode and can't wait to see Daryl with the "hunters" next week.

I'm assuming that the smoke stack they saw was Beth and Daryll, so they've got to all still be decently close.


I don't think so now that I have thought about it a bit.

When Daryll & Beth set the fire it was night. When Tyrese, Carol and the girls smelled the smoke it was daytime. That means that at earliest the fire was set the night before. They were at the house for... 1 day? 2 days?... before Carol and Lizzie see the white smoke. Tyrese and Carol leave the day after that so at best they are 2 days behind Daryll (no idea on Beth since she's now MIA). When you're on foot, that can be a helluva distance to miss someone by.

Glen/Lezbo

You'd think he would have tried to bang her. I mean hey, I know you're looking for Maggie, but you could die any day. Why not enjoy yourself when you have the chance?

He's keeping her on standby for the sympathy-poon in case they find Zombie Maggie (he hasn't even seen the signs she left for him yet). If he taps the strange and they run into Not Zombie Maggie, then that would be... awkward.

Besides he was just evicted from his house, has had to fight a bunch of assholes, can't find his wife and is coming off of some typhoid-level virus/bug, cut the guy some slack if his lil'-jimmie hasn't perked up yet. He's had a pretty shitty day.

Sooo going back to TV show, there was a lot of foreshadowing that was missed between episodes 11-14 of this season. LINK

Yet each week we get the same ole stuff. I enjoy the show, just wondering when shits gonna ramp up.


I'm afraid of this show dragging on season after season with no real conclusion. I'm not a comic reader, but if their idea for this show is to just keep this going for seasons on end like the comics, then this show will get even slower to develop anything.

I mean, look at these past few episodes. We've focused on only one group the entire episode each time and I come away thinking they could have gotten their main objective through to us A LOT earlier. Carol confessing and Lizzy being confirmed as crazy (even though we all fricking knew that already) didn't need that much time.

This show is becoming stagnated and I need more to keep me interested. Like you said, it's the same shite every week now. Talk about how they can live happily ever after in their newly found house, OH NO! a group of walkers appears out of the woods, kill a few walkers, have some shite go down at the end of the episode, and now we're back on the road to Terminus.

You're looking at it wrong. The episodes are running chronologically at the same time.

As in, Daryl and Beth set the fire at night and Carol and Tyrese see/smell it the next morning.

You will never get it then, to explain why you don't get it would involve spoilers though.

A story about zombies requires a bit of suspension of disbelief. Id have thought that would have went
without saying.

This episode took me by complete surprise, my favorite so far this season based off of shock factor alone.

Can we take a vote and use slowflopro in a zombie experiment like Milton did to the old man.

What am I supposed to "get"? If you can't tell me without spoilers, then I have to assume you just know something that happens in the comic. That's not my gripe here. It's the pace of the show. I know the comic is an ongoing series, but that doesn't mean the show should be the same. Don't the comics get released regularly? If the episodes were on an even remotely similar schedule I wouldn't be so opposed, but this shite is going to drag on in its current format.

Look at the great shows like BB and The Wire. They had a finite number of seasons and had a plan for how it's going to end. TWD show is giving me the impression it wants to be like the comics with a continuing plot. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be watching this show in season 10 with the same BS going on. I need conclusion out of TV shows. I don't want this to be some gotdamn daytime soap opera. Season 1 was fricking awesome, but it's deteriorated ever since.

I've been pretty critical of this show as of late, but I feel it's warranted.
