Because, really.. ultimately.. its not about living... but how long they can live before they die.

Well keep in mind there is a BIG plot point that hasn't been revealed yet that isn't exactly in line with Typh's reasoning. Spoilers below:

So far in the TV series a person has been bitten to turn into a zombie, or they have been shown to have a bite mark. The assumption is that the disease is spread by physical contact. In the book it is revealed that if someone simply dies, and is not bitten, they still turn into a zombie. They are all "infected" right now, and all doomed to eventually become the monsters they are fighting even if they are never bitten. Hence, everyone on Earth is or will be the walking dead .

In regards to that spoiler Prof S just posted, that was one of my first thoughts when Rick shot the guys at the bar.

Assuming they follow the comic.

The ending of this episode made me really, really want to watch the next episode right now.


You could just see Rick turn into Shane at the very end. I thought that was great.

This last episode was really good...maybe on par with last week's. I dunno. I'm really happy the show has taken a turn towards sudden darkness and quality, but what the fuck? What does that say about the first 7 episodes? What does that mean for next season, are we going to get 7 more boring episodes followed by a mid-season hiatus? This shit is confusing for me, the poor TV viewer.

Here is the other thing. Daryl and Carol are now on the brink. I'm not sure how I felt about Daryl and Carol's dialog last night...meaning I'm not sure if it was bordering on some of the cringe worthy dialog we have had to deal with in the first half of this season.

The problem is that this TV show cannot sustain and support Daryl and Rick. There is just not enough room to write two parts and maintain in this universe. It is going to be super interesting to see how that all unfolds as we move forward.

Another A- to B+ episode for me though.

Highlights: The bar, Lori's scene.

Lowlights: Literally, the low lighting. What the fuck AMC. Hire some god damn lighting people. Night scenes suffer on this show.

Meh: Daryl and Carol

I kept expecting Daryl to break down over Sophia after all of that. Like he's actually really sad about what happened and using how hard he tried looking for her as an excuse to be angry at everything as a way to deal with it.

Either that or more would have came out of how Carol kept expecting him to hit her since that's what she was used to in these situations from her husband.

Didn't really go anywhere.
