The part with Maggie on the bus was annoying because they showed her killing that last walker that looked like it could have been Glenn and then nothing. Obviously it wasn't (I don't remember him going back in the prison though).

that was totally stupid of him to go through that crowd of walkers. he's weak and he could have easily got overwhelmed.

the scenes with Judith were really annoying. I kept saying shut up, you're attracting the walkers!! lol
 
If you think about it, they are split into what, 3 different groups? What are the odds that they all head the same direction? If one headed north, one headed south, and one headed west, they would never, ever find each other again. Even if they all were in a 10 mile area, the odds of seeing/finding each other would still be extremely slim.

Not really, they all know to check major roads. And both Michone and Daryl have tracked others.

I agree, what was with all the crying? It got annoying to be honest.

The crying was annoying, but at least it gave us insight into how the different characters would react in the situation. That was kind of interesting, definitely gave us more insight into crazy-ass Lizzie.

It reminded me of a scene from MASH where Hawkeye wanted to kill a chicken that would not stop clucking on the bus they were on, but it turned out the chicken was actually a crying baby.

There are a plenty of circumstances in the real world where it is a bad idea to acquire a baby... But people still do it. And in an apocalypse, it would still happen.

Probably more so. Birth control pills and condoms would quickly be depleted.

The people are those having 10 kids would be one of the first to go. And the pool of eligible ladies for those manly men who survive to impregnate would drastically drop as well. I don't care how hot you are, if you are worthless in that situation, you're getting left behind. No amount of 'giving it up' is going to make me carry, figuratively or literally, your dead weight.

Disagree. Men without poon will go to great lengths to get/protect it, including putting themselves at great risk.

White knighting will die out pretty quickly. Carrying around worthless individuals will generally result in the death of both.

Well sure, if you consider woman to be "worthless individuals"

I think Michonne, Carol, Maggie, Sasha, Andrea, etc, all proved themselves to be well above worthless.

And none of them, with the exception of Carol at the start of the series, would be considered worthless and wouldn't require any white knights to come to their rescue. However, the stereotypical hot girl is pretty much useless in a situation like this, except as zombie bate, which the white knights wouldn't do. And in trying to save someone whose idea of misery is going without make up for a few hours is going to get all involved killed.

Pretty much agree, but I did enjoy all of the insanity of Lizzie and all of the stuff with Daryl up until Carol popping up. I like Carol a lot, but yeah, the popping up out of nowhere was dumb as was the very end of the episode.

I think the point was to put him together with the two people he swore to kill when he got his hands on them:
Lizzie, because she was the one who splayed open the animal that he is so sure was mutilated by the murderer, and...
Carol, because she actually is (or claims to be?) the murderer.

It's probably going to come up in a really awkward conversation with him not knowing if Carol is just protecting the girl or not.

Why didn't they explain how all those people died on the bus. I thought they all got away safely?

Because the story is told from the perspective of our protagonists. None of them were on the bus when the people on it went down, and there are no survivors (that we know of) to tell the tale, so we'll probably never know what happened.

One of them could have been bitten during the prison attack, then went on the bus, turned.. bit others, etc.

The bus was a bloody mess, esp up in the front, it looked like there was a ton of blood and body parts in that one seat.

It'll be interesting to see how the writers weave all of the groups story lines back together for the season finale.

Yeah, just looked like an easy and convenient way to get rid of the remaining prison survivors and thin the herd down to a few core characters for further plot development.

Oh well, we will never know indeed.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say zombies got them. 😉
 
why dont they they all adopt Michonne's tactics when traveling and take a few jawbreakers with them and walk in safety? Tactically Michonne also proved that the walkers can be led. In earlier seasons we have seen mass flocks moving so something like michonnes two pets moving trough an area would accumulate any errant walkers clearing the area. Then take that pack to a dead end or easily culled area or just lead them south or away from you.

They need to start wearing the insides of EVERY walker they see keeping those entrails and blood as an emergency stash if overrun or tactically getting attacked. Need to go out for some food? mount up and wear some walker skin and your safe!

This is what I don't understand as well. It would be such a better idea than running around as a child, walking backwards.
