The Walking Dead (Season 4)

[Ezee E]

It was very effective for me. Lincoln is showing off his best work yet here, being completely overwhelmed by all, but still trying to preserve face. It's quite the season so far, without the need of outside forces.

Hershel: Guys you don't understand, no one else can distribute tea the way I can. It has to be me.

Herpderp.

Daryl: Oh man the camera needs to crane out, I better stay parked while it does that.

Derpdoodadeeda.

Some new Dumbass: I can't turn my head to the side, I have to cough blood right into your face.

Getting a cold and watching this episode are not ideal.

This "virus" that is going around the camp has a ridiculous mortality rate. Every single person dies from it. Seriously. That's a worse case fatality rate than Ebola.

Yup. These episodes are so fucking poorly written. So far Season 4 is the worst. On top of that, Comcast didn't record the last part of episode 3. Did it run longer than it usually does? Did I miss any important dialog between Rick and Carol?

Yeah.

Carol admitted to Rick, rather coldly and casually, that she burned those two people. And then she walked away without saying another word. Because she's hardcore and stuff.

[Dukefrukem]

Haha.. so I missed the most important part of the episode.

[Ezee E]

Seems out of character though. I don't think she could do anything that crazy. I could see her killing in the idea of defense, but not pulling them out to the back and burning them alive.

It does make her scene where she shrieks at Tyreese a little more significant.

Also, did you all know that episode was written by Robert Kirkman?

Last, despite a good amount of deaths this week, none were by a zombie.

I guess I'm the only one that liked this episode. The despair, frustration, and desperation are at their highest here. People are doing things without a moral conscience now. I like it.

[Ezee E]

I've decided that show's a whole lot better when Maggie and Glenn aren't on it.

[Henry Gale]

I haven't seen the last three episodes, but they're probably the only characters I care about whatsoever. And yet I kinda agree with you, they don't almost don't fit the show, with their constant reminders to me of how human beings behave.

EDIT: Maybe I care about Darryl too. But even then I forgot about him when I wrote this post.

[Qrazy]

Andrew Lincoln is seriously the worst. Look at the way he stupidly inclines his head when he's being intense.

They could fit the show, but they've had the same story since they initially fell in love with each other in season 2.

Everyone else has changed. In a downtridden way. Could you imagine if Rick Grimes was played by a better actor? That's a hell of a part that simply isn't getting the talent it should. But it's still working for me.

No character is a standout to me. But the ensemble works, not sure how that happens.

[megladon8]

So far this is the best season. Even better than 3.

[Spun Lepton]

Aside from a few nitpicks, I'm enjoying the season as much as I did S3.

Qrazy, why do you keep watching it if you hate it so much? I mean, if I were watching whatever Canadian show you have available on your special Canadian TVs, I dunno, like The Oh Geez Maple Syrup and Hockey Report, and I didn't like it, I wouldn't keep watching it.

Just sayin'.

Because I'm a completionist and have an inescapable compulsion to finish watching everything I begin.

[Spun Lepton]

"The Walking Dead renewed for a 17th season? Cool!"

"Did I just hear a scream from Montreal?"

[Spun Lepton]

All right. I'll face up to one problem I've had with the series for a while. Mind you, this doesn't keep me from enjoying it. As many of you probably already realize, zombies are probably my favorite movie/tv monster, so I'm not hard to please.

Rick and the group learned early on if they smeared themselves with zombie guts, they were less likely to get attacked. Why don't they do this more frequently when they're out and about? Sure, it's gross, but if it's a matter of life-and-dead-and-undeath, you'd think they'd do it a little more often.

Of course, with these new "sick" zombies, that idea would be thrown out the window.

Because this show doesn't believe in attention to detail or continuity concerns.

[Ezee E]

I don't really understand the "sick" zombies.

I kind of just put that one up to complete uncertainty of the group I guess.

[Spun Lepton]

How long could a virus survive in a corpse? I'm under the impression it could be a while.

[Dead & Messed Up]

How long could a virus survive in a corpse? I'm under the impression it could be a while.

In most cases, only a few hours. Under proper refrigerated conditions, the max is around 16 days for the HIV virus.

Source.

Then again, while zombies are putrefying, they'd still need a functional cardiovascular system to be able to move, which suggests oxygenated blood, which suggests a viable environment for pathogens, and let's also not forget that this is fucking Walking Dead.

[Ezee E]

All bets are off to me as far as trying to describe the science of what's going on. That's why I'm going with it.

It is a good point on why they don't cover themselves with guts. But then again, covering yourself with guts seems like a disgusting thing to do. I'd rather risk life. :lol:

[Spun Lepton]

Yes, despite all its problems, there have been few shows that have made me care about the characters as well as Walking Dead has. Given how ready they are to knock off lead characters, there's always a sense of dread. Well, unless it's Rick or Daryl, they're pretty much untouchable.

[Raiders]

Thought the specific focus this last episode had, not to mention the greatness of Wilson (seriously, how much does he shame Lincoln like, every episode?) was a nice change of pace from the first few episodes. The reveal at the end was hilarious, and I think intentionally so.

[Spun Lepton]

Prediction.
