    The dialogue between Dale and Herschel was just horrible.

    I've heard better dialogue in PS2 games.

  8. The Best Alive

    The Best Alive Interfere w/ dese nuts!

    It's not even really true side stories. This show has pretty much devolved into a series of extremely minor plot points being introduced and the characters then proceed to sit around and debate the most minute details of every single said situation. Every episode is pretty much 30 to 35 minutes of debate with about 10 minutes of action thrown in to space things out.

    There have only been about 4 or 5 plot developments even worth mentioning up until this episode.

    1. Sophia disappears- Shitty plot point but it was still a member of the their group going missing. Would have been way more meaningful if they had used a character that we were familiar with that had actually had some dialogue before that point
    2. Finding the farm and meeting the people and feeling each other out
    3. Rick becomes aware of Lori cheating and finds out she's pregnant
    4. Herschel is keeping a barn full of zombies, and wait... Zombie Sophia is in there too- Again an extremely extremely shitty plot point because of how unrealistic it is and the lack of emotional payoff that they had been trying to build at for 6 episodes.
    5. There is a group of hostile survivors somewhere nearby.

    They took over 8 or 9 episodes on points 1,2, and 4. The literally just sat around and bitched and moaned for an extremely long amount of time during those episodes. Plot point 3 they just have Rick come out and be like "I know, it's cool" and they've barely touched on it since.

    God only knows how long they'll drag out plot point 5 for.

    Let's look at the character development in that span of time as well.

    Rick- Still a whiny bitch who goes back and forth on everything and can't make up his mind.
    Lori- Still a whiny bitch who constantly fucks everything up and complains about shit all the time
    Glenn- He got a girlfriend
    Andrea-Went from suicidal, scared of everything girl to supposed heartless badass in like 3 episodes.
    The mom- Whines and complains a lot much like before
    Sophia- Got turned into a zombie.
    Darryl- Still a badass but less into the group dynamic now.
    Dale- Went from whiny moral conscience of the group to dead whiny moral conscience of the group
    Shane- He got a haircut
    Carl- He got a hat and is now somehow even more annoying than before.
    Maggie- Got nailed by Glenn
    and T-Bone- Is he still even on the show

    At this rate I look forward to season 3 where they will probably at some point debate leaving the farm and season 4 in which they try and figure out the best way to leave the farm and where to go and season 5 where they then will actually get around to leaving the farm.

    Cliffs: This show is terrible but I will probably continue to watch because of the zombies

    the writers should just silently write off t-dogg and have the characters pretty much just pretend he never existed. would be fun to see how people react to it

    Rewatched because i missed the first half.

    Carl walks right up to the zombie and loses the gun.

    Carl is definitely Rick's son

    Edit: huh.

    Since when did the zombies have such superior strength that they could just pry open a living person's stomach with both its hands while simultaneously being pushed off of said living person with all of living person's strength????

    the same zombies that couldn't pry open an unlocked bus door???

    How pissed would you be if you were named Shane? That has to be one of the lamest names possible. Sounds like something West Virginia meth heads name their children.

    Lol those ice cream gifs are great

    Dale getting torn open was the best thing that's happened this season. It's about time one of the main characters died. I was so pissed when he was walking around the whole episode giving his speeches and Dale facing everybody but in the end it made his death so much more satisfying. Now its Lori's turn :pray:

    Carl was fucking awful in this episode. How does the only child in the group have the opportunity to wander around in the woods playing sherriff for hours at a time without anybody noticing? Is he ever going to take off the god damn hat? Hopefully he blames himself for Dale's death and commits suicide right in front of his parents.

    Fuck this show.

    Seriously.

    Wasn't Carl shot in the stomach with a deer rifle like a month ago? How long have we been on the farm? I've never been shot (but have shot plenty of deer) so correct me if I'm wrong- but that would seriously fuck you up, I think you'd be in pain, and stuck in bed for a long time. Not just hoping up and down ladders, going out on solo adventures and losing a gun.

    Glad Dale is dead, I shouldn't have watched the episode that spoiler had better writing and was an entire episode in 3 short paragraphs. But why was he going out for a leisurely night time stroll and not looking at the slow moving loud as shit zombie standing next to the dead cow? That is some of the shittiest writing I've ever seen- it was in a field for fucks sake. Super zombie stregnth, when did that happen?

    Why did the kid tell Daryl he was part of a rape? Why would you do that, what good does that do? It's like the hired the writers from Days of our lives- there is no plot development just side stories and shitty dialog.

    It seems like this show has a completely different writer on each show, and none of the writers stick to any of the same rules, character behavior, or focus.

    Dale got de-gutted by a superhuman zombie (that Carl had earlier out-muscled, even though Carl throws like a total girl). Dale was carrying a rifle the entire time.

    And I know we talk about it every week but when blonde slut tells Shane that Rick is the leader, where did that come from?
    The group had to save Rick's ass in Atlanta and he somehow became their unquestioned leader without so much as a discussion? How does this happen?

    Oh yeah more on the writers of this show suck- normally in good shows when a character is about to die the writers open them up, bring them to the forefront, make them more likable, personable, get us to feel something for them so that when they kill them it's a bigger loss.

    This show? Nope- last episode Dale had 0 screen time.

    Can we start a petition for HBO to buy the rights to this show and do a reboot.
