Never would've guessed Carol, but it does make a bit of sense. The look she gave Karen at the end of that episode was very unsettling.

The writers have proved that they have no qualms about offing fan favorites and main characters so that doesn't bode too well for Glen. I found it highly ironic that he caught the virus just as he was complaining about it Laughing

Something tells me its not quite his time to go yet though. I think it would do wonders for Maggie's character if he does bite it nonetheless. Would drive her to a different place.

I gotta say....Tyrese didn't look too good after taking on all of those walkers by himself. A lot of wounds...it would be a little unbelievable if not one of them causes him to get infected.

I'm starting to get sick of this show. People in there are so stupid that one wonders who are the zombies, the "walkers" or the living ones. They do such a huge amount of stupid stuff it's not fun anymore to watch.

- They let tons of zombies to accumulate on the fences. They should kill all the zombies around the fences every half a day, at most.
- They bury the dead inside the fenced area. In a land they could use for farming! They should burn them and scatter their ashes instead of eating farming land for graves.
- Carol kills some people to avoid spreading the illness, and then goes and hugs that little crazy girl when she is infected.
- Instead of preparing the tea and handing it to the ill with dose recommendation, Hershell feels the need to get inside the quarantine and die.
- They were awfully slow to act after the breakout of the illness.
- They should sleep with the doors of the cells barred, in case someone dies while sleeping.
- Rick killing those piglets without a reason, when he could just make some sound to atract the walkers.

And dozens of other stupid actions and negligences. It's just a horror show on stupidity. They always made stupid actions, but one would expect them to improve as long as time goes by instead of being more careless and stupider.

Some questions needs to be answered:

How is Hershel able to walk without crutches all of a sudden? Surely they aren't in a position to create a prosphetic leg that good? Dude was walking casually. hmm

How did Tyrese manage to shrug all those zombies at the end. He was surrounded by them, yet he shrugged them off and escaped without barely a scratch.

Why did Carol feel the need to go out on her own to fix that hose. Surprise, surprise...she manages to escape and make it look so easy. The writers of this show have made these zombies so insignificant and so non threatening that there is no fear whatsoever....either for the viewer or the characters on the show.

I'm a bit surprised that it was caroll who burned those 2 people. I thought it would turn out to be Bob who did it.

Btw, how can you call Karen a MILF, she was like 30 at most?

"- Rick killing those piglets without a reason, when he could just make some sound to atract the walkers."

Hershell speculated that the pigs were how this disease was being spread.

Did he? I'm not sure, but that was a wild speculation at least.

It's as likely the disease comes from someone new into the group (Bob) or from the Zombies packing the fences.

If they bothered with clearing the fences maybe they wouldn't be ill and that crazy little girl wouldn't have befriended a zombie named nick. Ffs, they let the zombie so many time at the fence that the girl became her friend!

Rick saw the boar getting sick in the wood and saw the pig ( violet ) getting sick as well and figured it was the animals. So he sacrificed the pigs

by RealGunner Mon Oct 28, 2013 10:42 pm

This was a very strong n emotional episode. Hershel's acting was pretty solid. I can understand why he did what he did. In his mind he is old and will die eventually out there. Better to try and help the sick instead and save lives.

Tyrese finally acting like a man. Thought he was dead with all those walkers. Amazing he survived. He is a pretty big character in the comics tbf.

Speaking of walkers. How many walkers were coming down from that hill Shocked

That's the biggest horde we have ever seen in the show.

Finally Carol killing Karen and Dave. Huge surprise but I guess it makes sense since she was the only one with Karen when she got sick. Was that the right decision? Seeing 75% of the people are sick. Probably not. She did what Shane would have done. Interesting twist though.

Hope they don't kill Glen.

They have to do all that because it's a drama lol. A TV series. Actions leading to consequences to forward the show.

by free_cat Mon Oct 28, 2013 10:53 pm

Ok, that part it's not stupid if he did it for health reasons, but I don't think they state that at any point. From the viewers perspective, it's just Rick deciding to kill all the piglets without any reason at all.

Yeah, ok Realgunner but even if they weren't as stupid, opporunities for drama would arise for sure. And the show wouldn't be so far fetched. I mean, Carol killed 2 people to avoid illness spreading, and she then goes and hugs an ill girl and just walks around carrying all the germs of the girl in her clothes. That's really stupid.

I agree. I'm a fan of the series and I expected this season to continue on from the comparatively realistic behavior shown in season 3 and parts of season 2. None of that casually carry a dangerous hand grenade in your cosmetic handbag crap back in season 1.

I kept asking myself on how stupid these guys were in this latest episode. It really feels predictable. How Carol would get saved by Rick, how Tyrese would emerge out of the bushes.

I completely agree on how they could have done a better job on killing the walkers near the fences but I can't see a scenario where the writers could have presented that was different to that. I mean, if they did a great job and killed them all off, we would be complaining on the lack of zombies near the prison.

I got a feeling that the huge horde of walkers that Daryl saw might follow them back to the prison forcing them to move out. But at this current pace, I reckon it might be the final episode lol

All the extras are dying so that is something.

That radio incident was very very very important. Not going to ruin it though. Just wait for next few episodes.

I don't remember what the radio said in the episode, couldnt make it out

I actually read some of the comics before the first season aired but stopped, dont really remember the radio from that? I'm guessing the black guy in this episode when he's surrounded and killed all those zombies was supposed to be the moment he was locked in the prison and they thought he died and he killed loads..I remember that from the comics.

spoiler from the comics so dont click, but I wanna ask RG about the radio signal

Spoiler:

by RealGunner Mon Oct 28, 2013 11:27 pm

Yea that Tyerse scene is in the comics when he was in the Prison Gym and surrounded by monsters. Killed all of them with the hammer. That is why despite thinking the directors killed him in the TV show ( since its very different to the comics now ) i wasn't really surprised when he came back. He is supposed to be a bad ass in the comics and ricks right hand man.

What do we think of this? (Posted a day ago)https://i.servimg.com/u/f56/17/23/70/13/image11.jpg

Governor return perhaps?

by El Gunner Tue Oct 29, 2013 7:05 pm

Dope episode. Very intense. Carol burned the bodies Shocked

at first, but than again makes kinda sense.

I'm with McLewis, Tyresse gotta have gotten a scratch or something he was totally surrounded by the walkers. He also looked kinda weak when he came from behind those trees. The radio signal is interesting (I think we're gonna leave the prison soon)

Some times I hope Hershell just dies. He's so slow and annoying at times. Plus his voice already has an annoying sound/tone to it.
I hope Glen doesn't die, though.

We need a new, interesting character to join the core group

by Vibe Tue Oct 29, 2013 8:19 pm

This season has been disappointing IMO.They need to spice it up a bit...

Glenn is so freaking boring...And his relationship with Maggie.He used to be a handy guy who is good at evading walkers,making runs.Now he's just a boring emotional little pussy.Maggie should die next so Glenn can have a dynamic character again,as well as Carol,she's been there too long and there is no more perspective in her development because she's already had it.

Before Maggie turns,she makes Glenn promise to take care of Beth which is what keeps him going after her death.He holds her in his arms until she is a walker and starts trying to bite him,when he gently inserts a long blade from below her chin all the way up to her brain while holding her forehead.

Carl's hair is ugly.He should go bald and ruthless and start reminding Rick of Shane.

Daryl should stop being mister nice guy and secretly start having sex with Beth,who later as a result of trauma after losing Hershel and Maggie becomes cold blooded and her only pleasure is sexual.She is completely detached from any kind of emotion and random male insignificant group members have no problem taking advantage of that and using her for their pleasure.Daryl starts finding out and it's not having a good effect on him.

Michonne finds the Governor but doesn't kill him and captures him and brings him back to the prison.Rick,who is forced to take charge again after deaths of Hershel,Carol and Maggie is under pressure from the group to make a decision whether to kill the Governor or to take him with them as they have to move out of the prison,because the Gov knows where the radio signal is coming from and they have no idea where else to go.

In an unfortunate development after walkers overrun the prison and the group is forced to leave,Governor escapes and takes Judith with him.Rick and Carl separate from the group in order to find Judith,while Daryl,Tyreese and Michonne lead the survivors towards the radio signal as they have some indication where it might be.

Sugar,spice and everything nice...

Vibe

But seriously I agree with Vibe and Free Cat, this show is getting so boring. I used to be a huge fanboy. The first and even the second seasons were great, but everything else since then has been a huge disappointment. Feels like a chore now.

This last episode sucked so hard, worst 40mins of my day. Everything interesting happened in the last 5 minutes with the radio signal, Tyresse fighting a mob of walkers all by his lonesome, that huge herd of walkers they ran into, and Carol being the perpetrator.

Rick needs to become a leader again. This pussy shit where he has no control over anything happening in the prison is pretty boring. Looks like Glenn is in his menstrual cycle. Like Vibe said he used to be such a fun character, now he's an 15 year old virgin teenager on her period. Hershell is boring as f*ck, his voice is boring, his actions are boring, his decisions are stupid. Carol turning into the leader ffs :facepalm:

by McAgger Wed Oct 30, 2013 1:42 am

Also the walkers have become completely insignificant in the show, and for me they were what made the show so interesting. The writers need to take a step back and go back to the fundamentals that made this show great.

You guys didn't find Tyrese's rage interesting? Best part of the episode imo.
