OK...I am the only one who thought 'wtf?!' when the diabetic chick was putting flowers/weeds on those 2 bodies and they woke up and she FELL RIGHT FUCKING BETWEEN THEM?

Really?.......really?
-puts flowers down (it looked like salidago/ragweed but whatever)
-corpse's eyes open
-she's still there, grieving........... apparently looking someplace else......other than where she SHOULD BE LOOKING!
-they break out of there plastic 'tombs'
-she 'dramatically' falls between them (arms all akimbo and mouth open in a dramatic 'haaaaaaaalp!), thus ensuring a nice om nom nom nom to her person

And those 2 (ok 3 originally) folks that Darryl found. Douchebags!

That was a little too obvious.
 
ughh this episode was pretty bad.

"Walk it off" was pretty comical. Dude screamed maybe once from getting his arm hacked off. After that a couple whimpers and he was good to go. Umm, ok.

I wasn't aware the US Army uses RPGs, but hey, why not.

How is that after so many years living in this world, the first assumption when you meet a dead person is not "hey... this dead person might be alive and try to eat my face?" A good portion of the dearly departed would still be with us if they didn't dangle their face, arms, or ankles in front of what may or may not be mostly dead.

I also don't get the "fuck it, he's behind a thin glass wall so let's just leave him. I'ma get some sleep." Sometimes I wonder if the writers are retarded because they're retarded or if they're retarded because the source material (comic) is retarded.

The only reason I can think of is if someone tried to sneak in on you. They may make some noise getting rid of the walker.

The funny thing is, at least to me, when I saw that, the first thing I thought was that it was an office with a drop-ceiling. Move the desk and poke your head over and kill it. No ammo wasted. I try not to think too much on these little things though 😉
 
I thought it was funny... well, sliding glass door is locked so nothing we can really do. It's too bad these rifles we just made Swiss cheese of a car won't work on a magical sliding glass door.

I also don't see leaving him alive as a warning system if someone sneaks in. The thing is going nuts with them in the room already. If anything, killing it stops the noise it is already making which is probably attracting attention.

It's obviously bullet proof glass, okay. GOSH DONT YOU KNOW ANYTHING!?

/sarcasm.

Pretty 'traded episode but I'm sure it serves some higher purpose for later on in the series.
 
At least this last episode was a little better than the previous two. Those were putrid, this one was OK.

I don't get why you'd leave some noisy walker making noise right there. Wouldn't you want it to be quiet so you could hear if something is going on outside or if someone's approaching? Break the damn glass, shoot it through the glass, climb over the glass door through the drop ceiling, etc etc. A million ways to easily dispose of the walker, seems idiotic to leave it there.

I thought the "help" at the end of the episode came from Rick, but apparently not. Didn't sound like Glen for sure. If not Rick, maybe Darryl?

Daryl was the one listening. As for the walker on the other side of the glass, you just have to suspend disbelief for these types of things. The point of the comic, and hence the show, is to show graphic images of zombies up close and personal. The writers will go to any lengths to get zombies and gore as much screen time as possible, even if it doesn't make sense.

What about the burned guy with helmet told him there was something hiding in the bushes?.

He's a tracker. He found a tire flap torn from the truck covered with dirt and leaves. I guess he figured out that it came off when the truck ran over the bike or something, though I don't think it showed a damaged bike nearby.

...all while I was thinking how weird it was to have a glass wall with a door on it in the middle of a room that was not an office or conference room or banking teller counter.

They're in a cop shop, so I'm pretty sure that's security glass...like the shit at a bank. IIRC, zombie man locked himself inside, so they couldn't get in to finish him off.

Technically, the US military is testing out RPGs but they aren't in use so there's no way they would find a stash like that.

Could have gone with a M32 MGL.

what could be cheesy ideas but actually pulling it off - is Firefly. Western meets spaceships, but with good writing, acting, and coloring.

I'll never understand why people thought that the "Spaceship Western" concept from Firefly was a good idea. I always thought that the show's premise was lame.
 
As a diabetic I can comfortably say there is no possible way I would survive a zombie apocalypse. Without dependable foods and insulin that spoils rather quickly without refrigeration you'd be incapacitated quickly.
I enjoyed watching it but definitely a filler episode.
