Furthermore, the “they’re just sick” thing has been done already. It’s difficult to like the old man that is holding a barn full of zombies on the hopes that they’ll be cured. I mean, c’mon! What if suddenly they ARE cured? Now they’re just corpses. It’s not really a point up for discussion. Period.

As for the “feel” of the show. I always imagined the situation like this: The survivors live in a bubble, barely holding the ocean of undead at bay…and each survivor has a needle. It’s the story of constantly needing to find new bubbles because somebody got mad or did something stupid, or pissed off the wrong person and suddenly they are all drowning.

What’s-Her-Face loves Glenn because Glenn is totally adorable, smart, and geeky. That’s going to be rare in the apocalypse. You’d be surprised how fast you can fall in love when pickings are slim and adrenaline is high.

Those tools at the bar were probably used to taking what they wanted from whomever with little real resistance. They suffered from a bully’s over confidence, that’s why they tried to draw first. Rick, Glenn and Herschel don’t look like a threat on the surface, and these douches had the mentality of gamers calling each other homophobic slurs in chat.

And yes, Herschel telling them to get off his property was a VERY Southern thing. Especially in Georgia. People from the “Old South” culture (vs hillbillies and rednecks) are almost like the English when it comes to a sense of propriety transcending all adversity. I should know, I married one. Also, Herschel=King of Self-Delusion.

In the event of the apocalypse, people are always going to be looking for “the way out”. Rumors will get started, and people will believe them out of hope. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to the south, but even the rural areas are relatively densely populated. Nebraska has more stretches of “nothing”, so I can understand the appeal (but I would head west if I were them. There are places out here where you can drive for an hour without seeing any sign of human habitation).

I still like the show this season. I don’t really understand all the hate. Many of the characters are annoying, but that works for me because that’s how the apocalypse would be: stuck with a bunch of idiots you didn’t really want to be with but needed for a sense of security.

Oh lets not forget Old man Hershel with all his secrets, how many more zombies do they got out there trapped somewhere? I mean, good lord man, you had 1 in a well and bout 20 of them in the barn that they been feeding. What’s the big deal with Shane and Andrea? Did anyone other than me see that coming?

I’m not gonna even question what happened at the bar, Rick simply snapped, that’s all to it. I knew that was bound to happen. And when is Merle or Maron and his son Duwayne gonna show up? Did they make it?
