I never even gave Boy Scouts a thought I was too busy destroying things and fighting all the time. Had 3 cousins all around the same age, we would go to my grandmas pair up and fight for hours, then go explore the woods. I was very redneck till about 15, then I became really metro because of girls. I'm not very handy either, hunting, fixing cars etc never interested me.

I was about as rowdy as you can get growing up in a fundamentalist religious household. Mormon parents make you do scouting. Everyone. It's kind of cool that way, though. Cause every kind of Mormon kid does it. Like if you went to a normal scout troop it's a lot of nerds, but in Mormon troops you have nerds, jocks, rebels, etc. I fought in scouts more than anywhere else, LOL.

Hunting definitely never interested me. I always like destroying things, like you say, but I never wanted to kill.

I don't know if this has been discussed or not buy I've pondered a couple scenarios.

This is a virus and, as a matter of probability, it stands to reason that at least SOME people would have a natural immunity. Of course, there's an even smaller chance anybody's willing to test the theory...but what if somebody gets bit and doesn't turn? Or even more interesting, only "sort of" turns?

We know of at least one birth in this new viral environment. What if little Judith was born with a natural immunity?

I'm channeling a fair amount of "The Stand" here.

This episode is the first one that is really kind of annoying. I just want to see what happens already. Get on with it. We are gonna end where we ended forever ago in the other episode and make no progress and just in time for a huge mid season break soon.

Carol is quickly becoming annoying just as quickly as she became likeable. I'm tired of her "don't you want to ask me why" crap non stop. And now she is becoming so preachy and whiny.

For what it's worth this episode was probably worse than meeting the Grady Memorial/Beth episode. This episode felt completely disjointed. It's not like the writers to throw in random Carol flashbacks like that or should I say do flashbacks like that at all.

This episode lacked some Beth lollipops imo. :)

Another "semi-Bottle Episode". The episode really focused on Carole and even Daryl and how they zombie apocalypse has changed them. This may have been Carole's soliloquy, leading to her exit from the show. The show's writers have been infamous for such dramatic efforts.

yeah this episode was not the series finest moment. i'll take the beth episode all day over this. next two should be epic though.

I didn't have a problem with this episode. The van flip was ridiculous, but whatever.

The thing that was most unrealistic to me is how careless Carol and Darryl were about moving around when what's his name got the jump on them. It's kind of their thing to sneak around, and look before they leap. They made it way too easy, crawling in a totally vulnerable spot without looking in the hallway before entering. Stupid.

Come on guys.

The van flip was ridiculous. I'm not sure from a realistic standpoint how they'd fair coming out of that. The zombies falling onto the top of the van was just hilarious. I was waiting for one of them to get out of the van and take a zombie to the head.

So Carole broke her collar bone is that what it looked like to others? It'll take 5 weeks for that to heal if they can put her in a sling.

I thought it was damn fine episode. It really took time to allow the characters and the viewers to see how much the characters have grown. It isn't all about shoot'em up and zombies eating people each week.

Scot Gimple has done a lot to develop a lot of depth within the characters since he took over the series.

It's hard to see Beth being the hero, but I can't help but see anyone but her kill Dawn. Maybe Noah. The next few episodes should be very interesting.

It flipping all the way was the ridiculous part. It would land right on it's top, which it was doing, change camera angles, hey it's in its wheels. Lol

Nobody mentioned shooting anything up or Zombies eating people. There was actually plenty of zombie action this week. That whole argument is getting old honestly.

I'm one of the ones that actually defends slow episodes because I generally still think it is an overall well put together episode.

This one was a quality episode. It's just, for me, I have waited and waited to see what happens next. It's a giant waiting game until they finally decide to show and then you get to wait a few months just in time for them to show you and the finale to come.

I get that they keep you wanting to see what is next. I just hate it when the group gets all split up. Once it happens I already know we're in for atleast 3 episodes of just parallel timeframe crap.

This.

It's getting comical seeing that strawman pulled out. And I didn't even think this was a bad episode, just a really stupid part with the van.

Yeah, that was the bad part. I mean I can suspend disbelief that they would survive without some major injuries, but the defying physics part.....yeah.

I agree. I thought it was odd when carol was squeezing back through the door without looking. All I can figure is they had just been through there and felt it was safe.

If I were really nitpicking though, I would ask how all the campers died in there simultaneously.

If it had landed upside down it would have made more sense.


Otherwise I thought it was a pretty good episode overall.
