1. the beginning where rick is talking on the walkie talkie...i thought it was a nice intro other than the fact that you wouldn't talk forever on a walkie talkie if the point is to try to get someone to respond to you...if you take the stance that he just wanted to vent, then that makes more sense...i would lean towards the latter since he's a cop and knows that he shouldn't hold down the talk button forever if he's trying to get a response
2. the highway scene...that was probably one of the most intense scenes on tv i have seen in a long time...the frustrating part is how come dale (the guy on top of the rv with binoculars) didn't notice a massive "herd" making their way down the highway...even if they came out from the bushes from the side at an angle, he should have spotted them way sooner...i'm guessing that the motorcycle that daryl (crossbow guy) was riding attracted them...a super loud motorcycle seemed like a poor choice...you would think that they could make a stop at a car dealer or rental place and get better cars...how many times are they going to have the rv breakdown?
3. i thought t-dog was a dead man...it looked like he cut an artery and was going to die even before the walkers got to him...the blood was really gushing, but soon after the walkers pass, he's all bandaged up and good to go...i think they just wanted to add a little more gore for no real good reason there...i like the quick thinking where daryl covers himself and t-dog with dead bodies/zombies...some people are saying that the zombies should have been able to smell them, but i don't think their senses are that great...i just think that they can differentiate whether flesh is rotten or alive but not necessarily track with their noses...hearing seems to be what they rely on the most
4. they're learning to rely more on quieter melee style weapons than guns (they all need to carry the annihilator)...the scene where andrea tried to put the glock together was stupid...you just knew she was going to drop something and draw attention to herself...then the whole thing about her getting jealous because she couldn't get a gun was too petty...the fact that dale took the gun from her when it was hers was dumb too...the whole exchange with dale expecting gratitude from andrea was out of character...the show hasn't been following the comic that much, but with andrea focusing on guns, it may follow the comic for her...in the comic, she becomes very good with guns, especially rifles, and becomes the group's sniper
5. sophia getting lost was expected, but i didn't mind that...what i didn't like was carol (the mom) blaming rick and complaining instead of trying to look for her herself or even helping out while the others were out looking...she just stared out to the bushes doing nothing...she didn't even chase after her daughter when she ran off
6. carl (rick's son) is trying to help out more, which is like the comic...however, he comes off a little annoying...just poor acting, but he's a kid...in the comic, he's even given a gun early on and knows how to use it
7. daryl has become a team player, and even saved t-dog...he seems to be the most useful of the group, and it'll be interesting to see what happens when/if his brother returns...i also want to take up archery now
8. the scenes in the church where they prayed for help seemed forced...some random church out in the middle of nowhere with a repeating bell recording?...i won't even go into the idiocy of praying to a god that would have been responsible for the messed up situation that they are in
9. writing is on the wall for shane and looks like it might follow the comic...i won't reveal anyone else who dies in the comic
10. the preview of next week's episode looks like they'll be staying with the greene family on their farm...since carl's injury is serious and probably will not heal anytime soon (unless he has t-dog's healing power), the season might have most of them staying put on the farm...i do think that the group will split up
that's all for this episode...there are some annoying things about the show (poor acting by some hurts the show the most i think), but it's still one of the few good shows on tv...along with game of thrones
i also like bones, but it hasn't started yet...i also think this might be the last season
i have been trying to watch terra nova, but i keep forgetting about it...i missed the first hour of the series premiere and missed this week's episode...i like the concept, but i hate how they have to have a teenage storyline with some annoying emo kid...this was why i had trouble watching v and sarah connor chronicles, and it is starting to be the reason why i might stop watching terra nova
