The Walking Dead

Shane did the right thing taking out those walkers, that had to happen it was not safe, it was only a matter of time until the barn got full and they broke out.

The show is returning February 12, 2012.

Sigh. Thank God for football.

When Hershel needed Rick to help round up the two zombies they trapped in the creek? That's when the 'Sophia is a zombie in the barn' light bulb went off. GREAT ending. The farm people actually made me feel for the zombies . . . although at the same time I can't help but think Shane was right in shooting them all.

I did NOT see that one coming at all! When I saw those thin little legs stumble out of the barn I literally gasped! I was like ..... NO WAY! Wow. And then to have Rick step up and shoot her in the head ....

My main gripe with these past 7 episodes is that all the story-telling that was done could have been done in a couple of hours but they dragged it out over 7 weeks. Did they do that for character development because I don't feel like I know these people any better than I did when the show started. Also, not nearly enough zombie surprises and suspense going on, at all. Very disappointing. The first few episodes I thought 'ok, Carl got hurt, blah, blah, blah but it will pick up'. Nope. Except for the final scene and a few other scenes . . they gave us crumbs.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes and yes. What Zoom said.

Dale annoys the shit out of me. He's a busy-body-old-man. He was going to hide the guns . . . . wtf?? Is he going daft? Shane, who was never my fav from the get go, is really, really annoying at this point. Why is he such a hot head? Am I suppose to believe that he's pining for Lori and because he can't have her that's why he goes all testosterone? It's not working for me ... he just comes across as a direction-less bully most of the time.

I'm still alright with Dale. It's Shane that annoys the shit out of me! Again Zoom, I agree with your analysis.

The preview for the coming episodes looks like maybe it might be Shane and some others against Rick and the farm people? I wasn't paying too much attention but that's what it was looking like. They need to leave the freaking farm. I didn't start watching this show to follow these people to some 'mostly safe from zombies' farm where they fight with the farm people and each other. Blarg.

^^^^^ Yes.

Rick and Hershel: You really can't blame Rick for wanting to follow Hershel's "No killing Walkers" rule. He was doing whatever it takes to stay on the farm and stay safe. At the same time, i think he was stupid for it.

The Walkers in the barn: I rooted for Shane when he finally did what he did. It sure kicked Hershel into reality, which would explain his total speechlessness during the whole shoot-out. Rick wanting to stop it was ridiculous.

Sophia: When i heard the last moaning in the barn, i knew it was her. I had that feeling. It was so sad. Rick killing her brought him back to his senses as to the world's reality. I think being on the farm he kind of lost it. My guess is someone will insist where and when Hershel's people found her.

Y'know the saying ... out of sight, out of mind. I guess that's where I was in regards to Sophia. I didn't want Rick to kill her. I guess like Zoom, I was made to 'feel' for the undead and Rick shooting her in the head was a serious slap back into the reality of it all. Not only that, Glen had a similar discussion with Maggie earlier in the show. Yes. Being on the farm, it was easy for the characters to ..... forget ... about what it really happening out there in the world. Perhaps then it was good for Hershel. As far as insisting on where and when Sophia was found .... what does it matter? She was bitten and turned, then shot in the head. The whole 'could have, would have' really doesn't matter at this point.

Actually Masq I would be pissed that Hershel did not say that the girl was already in the barn, and letting Rick and the group go out into the forest wasting time, manpower and people nearly getting killed like Daryl looking for someone who was not even there, I would get heated about that, they wasted alot of time looking for Sophia, especially Daryl.

 

[Zoom-boing]

There was only so many outcomes for Sohpia anyway. She'd be found alive, she'd be found a walker, she'd die naturally and they would or wouldn't find her body, she'd find another group of people and go with them. As each week came and went with no signs of her I thought more and more that she was a walker. I loved how they tied that storyline up. Sweet. Completely agree about Rick shooting her being a slap back into reality. Well done.

How utterly weird that Hershel was rounding up walkers. That I didn't see coming at all. Barn full of walkers . . . makes no sense to me. Even if they found a 'cure' for them (humor me) . . . most of them are missing half their faces and/or various body parts. Can you imagine if they did get 'cured' and returned to a normal, living person? How would that work with half your body gone?

As much as Shane is annoying me, again I can't help but like him for what he did. Maybe they want us to dislike him yet root for him at the same time? Every one was in a relatively 'safe haven' mode and Shane slapped them back into the reality of what the world is now. Maybe that's exactly what this group needs. . . someone who isn't afraid to do what needs to be done and hurt feelings, stepping on toes and compromises that make zero sense (not shooting walkers) be damned.

I guess I'm giving Hershel the benefit of the doubt when it comes to him knowing THAT was the girl they were looking for. Maybe it was that other guy on the farm (don't remember his name) who found her and placed her in the barn. Just sayin'. Guess we're going to have to wait until February to find out. Grrrrrr.

You got a point there, either way I don't think the group will be able to stay at the farm too much longer after that, plus I think the group is about to start splitting apart anyways.

I had a conversation with my husband about this exact thing. How the hell would a walker EVER get back to normal if someone found a cure? Maybe a cure would be good if someone was freshly bitten and hadn't turned yet.

Hershel may not have realized that the girl walker was Sophia? He didn't say anything to the group because then he'd have to tell them about the barn full of walkers . . . .which he wanted to keep secret . . . because he knew the group would want to shoot those walkers.

One thing I don't get . . . Hershel is/was hell bent on getting the group off of the farm. Yet he's a man of the bible . . do unto others, watch out for my brother type . . . so was the main reason he wanted the group gone because of the walkers in the barn? I wonder will he be less inclined to give them the boot now? I also wonder how the hell the farm people would ever be able to give the group the boot anyway . . Shane and the others have more guns.

Carol . . . really? I mean . . .really? You went all wishy-washy tonight about finding your daughter? <sigh> Carl and Daryl are my two fav characters. Oh and Glen. Rick needs to either lead or step aside. He wants to please everyone and in doing that nothing seems to get done. I don't know . . .

hate to be a party pooper ZB, but get used to it hon.

AMC they gutted the WD extras and locations budget to pay Jon Hamm the big bucks for Mad Men and get Rolling Wheels, Hot Wheels, whatever it is started....

No doubt, theres no way Hershel could force the group to leave, the only real muscle he had was Otis and he is dead, the group could actually take over the farm house if they wanted to but Rick and his conscience won't let him, plus Shane does not want to stay there anyways.

[GHook93]

BTW, my prediction is the father and son that sent Rick on his way to Atlanta in season 1 will show up with Sophia at some point. Possible the group will stumble on them in the middle of a confrontation with Merle.

Well, I was wrong. But I'm glad the Sophia storyline has wrapped up.

And I have to say wrapped up well! That explains why they couldn't find her and it will cause some drama down the line!

Rick and Hershel: You really can't blame Rick for wanting to follow Hershel's "No killing Walkers" rule. He was doing whatever it takes to stay on the farm and stay safe. At the same time, i think he was stupid for it.

That is the first thing I though about after seeing the little girl. How could Hershel let them go out and risk their lives like that? Not cool for a spiritual type guy really.

Oh and am I the only one who thinks Carol is kinda hot. That haircut works well for her, in a Milf type way.

Can we talk about Dale trying to hide the guns. I know his goal was to make it so Hershel would let them stay, but he is the one who was on top of that RV on lookout the most (with a gun). He knows the imporatance of defense and he was trying to hide the damn guns. I dont get that.

Glen: I think that kid will eventually be a leader of a group of sruvivors. I like him.
If I were Daryl, I would be pissed at Hershel for allowing him to risk his life to find the little girl. I am really glad that whole Sophia line is over now. Enough already.
Rick is annoying to me. He started off as a good leader, but not now.

The farm people actually made me feel for the zombies . . . although at the same time I can't help but think Shane was right in shooting them all.

I agree with the light-bulb going off and they did a great job humanizing the Zombies in that episode, esp when Sophia came creeping out of the barn. You almost didn't want them to shoot her.

My main gripe with these past 7 episodes is that all the story-telling that was done could have been done in a couple of hours but they dragged it out over 7 weeks. Did they do that for character development because I don't feel like I know these people any better than I did when the show started.

Except for the final scene and a few other scenes . . they gave us crumbs.

Not enough Zombies no doubt, but I think that was a budget issue. However, I think the character development was sorely needed and you know a lot more about Daryl, Andrea, Shane, Rick, Herschel, GLEN and Dale.

I am not disappointed in the least, great season beginning and great mid-season ending.

Dale annoys the shit out of me. He's a busy-body-old-man. He was going to hide the guns . . . . wtf?? Is he going daft?

Dale is by far the most annoying character. First his sticking his nose into everyone's business and then hiding the guns. Good move asshole. What happens if the a herd of Walkers decend on the farm?

Shane, who was never my fav from the get go, is really, really annoying at this point. Why is he such a hot head? Am I suppose to believe that he's pining for Lori and because he can't have her that's why he goes all testosterone? It's not working for me ... he just comes across as a direction-less bully most of the time.

Shane is survivalist and an asshole. His tactics weren't the best, but he was right on some! First, that Sophia was dead and the search was becoming a waste. Second, with the Zombies in the barn. They needed to kill them. Third, that Herschel can't make them do anything.

A show like this needs a character like him.

Carol . . . really? I mean . . .really? You went all wishy-washy tonight about finding your daughter? <sigh>

I actually like her character. Imagine how one might feel losing their daughter and then being all alone in zombie ruled world? Not pleasant thought. Daryl is actually nice to her (up until he called her a bitch). She was trying to deal with reality. I really felt for her, esp when Sophia came out of the barn!

Carl and Daryl are my two fav characters. Oh and Glen. Rick needs to either lead or step aside. He wants to please everyone and in doing that nothing seems to get done. I don't know . . .

Daryl is my favorite, but Rick, Glen and Andrea aren't far behind. The only character at this point I don't like is Dale!

The preview for the coming episodes looks like maybe it might be Shane and some others against Rick and the farm people? I wasn't paying too much attention but that's what it was looking like. They need to leave the freaking farm. I didn't start watching this show to follow these people to some 'mostly safe from zombies' farm where they fight with the farm people and each other. Blarg.

From a story standpoint, they will encounter more Walkers other places. From a survival standpoint, as long as they can secure the parameter, the farm is a good place. They have a generator (with a highway full of cars and fuel not too far away), a working farm with fields), livestock and water wells. A forest for supplies and a town not too far to scavenge for supplies.

 

[GHook93]

Sophia: When i heard the last moaning in the barn, i knew it was her. I had that feeling. It was so sad. Rick killing her brought him back to his senses as to the world's reality. I think being on the farm he kind of lost it. My guess is someone will insist where and when Hershel's people found her.

If you watched 'Hell On Wheels' (which I am not sure I like the show yet, but I had to watch 45 mins to get a glimpse of the next Walking Dead), you would see that is what they are all questioning Herschel about.

 

[GHook93]

As far as insisting on where and when Sophia was found .... what does it matter? She was bitten and turned, then shot in the head. The whole 'could have, would have' really doesn't matter at this point.

You never know with the silver screen. There could be a DARK twist there. They were feeding the Walkers, because they saw them as alive. Maybe finding a weak little girl and they thought feed her to the family member Walkers. She got bite and managed to crawl into a small place in the barn where only her little body could fit.

Or she could have done what Glen nearly did and went to the barn thinking it was safe and then fallen in. She got bit and found that small place to hide.

 

[GHook93]

Y'know the saying ... out of sight, out of mind. I guess that's where I was in regards to Sophia. I didn't want Rick to kill her. I guess like Zoom, I was made to 'feel' for the undead and Rick shooting her in the head was a serious slap back into the reality of it all. Not only that, Glen had a similar discussion with Maggie earlier in the show. Yes. Being on the farm, it was easy for the characters to ..... forget ... about what it really happening out there in the world. Perhaps then it was good for Hershel.

I guess I'm giving Hershel the benefit of the doubt when it comes to him knowing THAT was the girl they were looking for. Maybe it was that other guy on the farm (don't remember his name) who found her and placed her in the barn. Just sayin'. Guess we're going to have to wait until February to find out. Grrrrrr.

More than likely he knew they were looking for the girl Otis lead to the farm, but he didn't tell the group because he didn't want them to kill the Walkers.

Oh and am I the only one who thinks Carol is kinda hot. That haircut works well for her, in a Milf type way.

Can we talk about Dale trying to hide the guns. I know his goal was to make it so Hershel would let them stay, but he is the one who was on top of that RV on lookout the most (with a gun). He knows the imporatance of defense and he was trying to hide the damn guns. I dont get that.

Glen: I think that kid will eventually be a leader of a group of sruvivors. I like him.
If I were Daryl, I would be pissed at Hershel for allowing him to risk his life to find the little girl. I am really glad that whole Sophia line is over now. Enough already.
Rick is annoying to me. He started off as a good leader, but not now.

No doubt, Daryl almost died trying to find that little girl and the group kept going out into the woods searching, hell Shane and Andrea went to those houses and got into a fire fight in the episode when they had sex, one of them could have easily died as well. Very selfish move by Hershel. Carol looks good, I would hit it.
