so, they spend a season explaining how resources are accumulated--syphoning gas form abandoned cars, runs to the town to scavenge supplies, etc...
Rick going to get guns, was one of the better episodes this season.
It doesn't take a whole season to explain some basics of survival. E.g. Shane tells them to boil the water, they do a cut, and then come back with clean water. 10 seconds of TV time and sterilized water explained.
yet, you want them to explain this shit in every damn episode to make you happy, rather than spend time developing characters.
They haven't been spending time on character development. It's been mostly melodrama and filler.
If you think character development is what they've been doing, explain T-Dogs character development to me. We knew nothing about him, until after they killed him off, then they tried to add a little background to him.
Tell me about Sophia's character development. They did nothing with her until after she was dead, then Glenn went on about how important she was to the group. They never showed that though. Glenn was sitting on the porch when they were looking for Sophia. So his speech doesn't match his actions. Do you call that good character development?
Oh wait---no, you want them all to be wooden automatons--like how apparently Andrea should have killed the governor in her sleep, even though that is completely against her established character.
She did vote to kill Randal. She was willing to let a 16 year old girl kill herself. She was willing to let Beth die, but won't kill the Governor when he's planning on murdering women and children. I don't get it. What happened to her wanting to be the tough girl and survivor, like Shane.
And oh, people living in a zombie apocolypse trying to survive with flesh-eating zombies and murderous humans always act rationally 100% fo the time, and should certainly never lose their marbles when they watch 80% of the people that they consider family die from zombies, other people, or childbirth.
When so many have gotten killed, shouldn't it have been the smart ones who made it? Survival of the fittest and all that. They haven't even acted rationally half the time. There is still a ****ing hole in the fence letting zombies into the prison complex.
I swear, most of you are the absolute worst absorbers of content. No idea why you torture yourselves trying to understand things that aren't as simple as you hope them to be.
Since you seem to think you've absorbed the show better than me, and understand the deep character development that I've missed, explain a couple of things to me.
Why do they stay at the prison when it's a death trap, and now a mad man with a larger army is planning to come and kill them all. It's not safe; they didn't lose anyone when they were on the road, now at the prison they are dropping like flies. The fence is down, the wall is down, and they are locked into one part of one building, and only the front courtyards is clear of zombies. The rest of the prison and area is covered in zombies. Plus they are almost out of food and ammo. Even if you think a prison is a safe place, there are hundreds of prisons in Georgia, so why stay at that one? Plenty of places have fences and strong doors.
Why did Rick drive all the way to his hometown to get guns when the Governor could attack at any moment, considering he had already taken the guns and ammo from the sheriff's station. He even told Shane back in season one that he had cleared it out.
