Everything seems to be moving so slow. I was expecting more from the barn this week and yet it just keeps building up. It seems like they're just stringing things along but there isn't much substance to what's being added, but maybe that's just me. Like I said, I haven't read the comics so maybe this makes more sense to others.

And Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) is so irritating. She is just such a horrid actress. I hated her on Prison Break and she ruins episodes of this show for me. She is so cold all the time. Like cheer the f*ck up, such a drama queen. You still have your whole family and were given a gift when your presumed dead husband came back. Most everyone else's relatives are probably walkers. And Glen does her all these favours for her and she still comes off like a c*nt. She has monologues on the show and I just find myself tuning her out, my GF said she does the same. Just have the baby and end her already

i'd put Andrea up there, man. she's getting better, well, she WAS getting better, but the first 4 episodes of this season i was hoping they'd just kill her.

when i said she WAS getting better, here's what i mean: we finally got a glimpse of 'bad ass sharp shooter' Andrea and i was pretty excited. i loved that scene with Shane screaming at her and i thought it was one of the better moments of the whole series, BUT she had to grab his cock. of course she did. now there's only two things that can happen; Shane and Andrea form a bond and distance themselves from the group or Shane dies and it causes Andrea to hate everyone. what a waste. either way, i think Andrea is going to revert back to her ****ty ways. well, i guess there is a third thing and that would be to pretend like it never happened, but that's terrible tv.

here's what i think is going to happen. (i don't know this to be a fact, but don't be pissed off at me when i'm right. hahahaha.)


stop reading if reading a theory slightly based off the books is a spoiler!!!


Carl's got a gun, Shane's got a beef with Dale and Herschel wants every one the **** off his land. Herschel's going to tell everyone to pack it up, the ensuing commotion will prompt Shane to attack Dale (or Rick) and Carl's going to get it done.

i feel this way for several reasons: Carl's already showing how he's "cold". (the scene with the momma chicken. 'everything's food for something else') Shane has to die. (that sex scene screamed of, "hey, we really don't know what to do with this guy. he's great, but we're running out of ideas") it will be the show's catalyst for getting the survivor's off of Herschel's land. Herschel will finally snap and make sure everyone leaves.

unfortunately, this brings up a question that i had even when i was reading the books. why don't they just kill Herschel and stay? i know that's too convenient and i know it ruins the story, but in a real life setting, if i had 10 survivors and he had 6, i'd say, "you know what? we're staying, like it or not. if you're going to put up a fight, let's get at it". i suppose Rick hadn't really turned in to, 'i'll do what i ****ing need to do' Rick yet though, hahahaha.

OH MY GOD WAS I MAD. I thought, really creators? It would have been cooler had Andrea pointed a gun at him and say, "apologize for talking about Amy." Oh well.

As for your theory, I'm pretty sure you're gonna be dead-on. I hope it happens next episode but they'll probably save it for the season finale. As long as Shane turns to mulch I'll be happy.

Something this show needs...MICHONNE.

while i totally agree, it's going to take someone very special to pull off that character, that's for sure. hopefully if and when she shows up she's every bit as bad ass as she is in the books!

you know what kills me the most about this show... the extensive amount of dialogue. this genre has its fans, and it mos likely won't gain more. you either like gore filled zombie ****, or you don't. if theres one thing fans of the genre can agree on, it would be that the less talking the better. the actors aren't made for it. i think the acting in this show is so ****ing bad, and they almost force it. i'm not hard to please... have some walkers getting killed in a cool way and i'm happy. so much of this show is just becoming so sappy.

so much of let's talk about the world and tear up, but not quite cry. its to the point that you could literally fast forward through the talking scenes and know excactly what was being said. they're slipping away from the basics.. those very basics that make a show like this great. you don't have to try so hard.

unfortunately for what you're looking for, godard, given the source material, that's what this show is supposed to be. i get that some people are looking for zombie death, but, if they stay true to the books, that's not what this series is about.

i can understand that, and in a sense i'm just bitching. i guess my complaint would be that if you're going to rely that heavily on dialogue... then atlast cast people who can pull it off. lori, rick and andrea are all terrible when it comes to pulling off the whole speaking and emotional part of their role. when watching rick try to get into a scene (like the one where carl is laying in the bed after getting shot) is very difficult to get into since it was just so overplayed.

at the same time i have to understand that this series wasnt meant to be this much of a hit, so how much better quality actors could they really have pulled in. i complain a lot.

this is pretty much spot on, in my opinion. well put, godard.

(i took out the part about you complaining too much, i don't agree with you there. )
