walking dead season finale

i liked it...a few things that bugged me...everyone now can make head shots of moving targets from a moving vehicle...when did everyone get so good?

carl dropping the lighter was kinda wasteful and risky...what if it didn't light...it's a barn with a bunch of flammable stuff around...light something else on fire and drop that instead and keep the lighter...

no way you can run as much as andrea did with a heavy, single-shoulder-strap bag of guns and ammo...unless andrea trained 3-4 hours a day like this prepper...i pictured her running instead of andrea in that scene for some reason...have to add my own humor to balance the intense nature of the show...there was another unintended funny scene, but i don't remember it

speed, endurance, and stealth personified

i still don't see the point of t-dog's character...he serves no purpose except manual labor...carol is annoying, but at least she knows she's a burden...i didn't understand lori's reaction...rick had no choice but to kill shane...unless she is mad that carl shot zombie shane...in the comic, carl is smarter and less annoying...he shoots a human shane before he tries to shoot rick...i think it might have been better if they kept it that way on the show...

rick's character is changing...like in the comic...he's becoming more hardened...it'll be interesting to see how much they follow the comic from now on, but rick will face a lot more problems if they do follow it...


spoiler warning...





season 3 is going to be about the prison...and we see michonne...casting wasn't done at the time, so it wasn't her in the episode but the role has been filled...danai gurira...haven't seen her in anything, but hope she does a good job...

i think they can make the sword play realistic...in the comic, she's supposed to have fencing training, so she has experience with swords...plus it makes sense...guns make a lot of noise and ammo will be harder to find...guns will serve as better protection against other people rather than zombies...

the key thing to take away from rick's dialogue about hunkering down...prisons keep people in, but they also keep people out...problem is can you trust the criminals already living in the prison?...or have a bunch of zombie prisoners

it might have been better if they kept sophia alive like the comic...carl might be less annoying with her around since he'll have another kid to interact with...also, in the comic, he is more resourceful and usually protects her...

spoiler end...


gonna be another long wait before season 3...next up though is game of thrones...winter is coming..i gotta get back to reading a feast for crows
