The hippie couple established they were inept at combat, saying they took half a clip to take down a walker, and implying they'd never tried to take down a walker with a sharp object before. That's why the woman died. Chances are she got surprised and bit and it doesn't really matter whether you summon help at that point.

poser posted:Why do they not take more cars? Even if its a small crappy car they can use it for parts. More cars means more gas. And I kind of figure the need to repair your car becomes less of a thing in a world where when your car breaks down you can just hot wire a new one. Hell, in theory the prison should have an entire lot of them somewhere off camera. And we've seen them come across them any time they go to a new town, find a building, or go on a major road. A broken down car is only really an issue when they're on the road and get stuck like last episode. And even then the big issue wasn't the lack of a car it was the urgency of the sick people.

She got surprised, bit, died instantly before she could yell or shoot, her leg popped off like a crash test dummy, the zombies dragged her out to the middle of the road and despite being dead for a while she didn't turn.

Why does it matter what exact series of events led to her death, or whether it made logical sense for her leg to be where it was? I swear some people watch TV with the express intent to pick apart inconsistencies, rather than enjoy the show for what it is.

There'd even be a little popping noise, like the sound of a cork being pulled out of a bottle. Maybe she's like a skink, and that's why the cut was so clean. She saw the zombies coming and shed her leg so that they'd forget about her and go for the still twitching leg. The tattoo was like the bright blue that skinks, in my area, have on their tails to distract predators. Unfortunately, she needed that leg to hobble away. I think the reveal would have been funnier had it been the guy's arm though, whichever arm it was that was dislocated. But he didn't have a tattoo so viewers would have been confused as to whose arm it was. Bored fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Nov 6, 2013 |

My take on it is they were both completely incompetent, bumbling doofuses, which the show established. They were hiding for two days from one zombie. They said it took them 5-6 bullets to take down a single walker, and laughed at the very idea of using a melee weapon. Is it really that mysterious that they didn't follow the plan and got themselves killed? I think the whole point is you know they're not going to be able to survive (plan or not), and that Carol's insistence that they be allowed to help scavenge is basically a death sentence.

Maybe she found a machete on their run and when attacked by the zombies, ended up chopping off her own leg while flailing at them?

She was attacked and downed where she was, mysteriously enough, the first bite was in the exact spot the pressure point is to make her leg detatch cleanly and rocket off at a fence. It bounced off and ended up where Rick and Carol found it.

I was talking about Walking Dead today with a buddy of mine who pointed out that it's pretty piss poor planning to have looted no anti-biotics in the last few months of searching the area. Not a one, not one in the prison infirmary either? What the hell kind of prison doesn't have at least basic anti-biotics? A vet, a doctor, an army medic and at least one survivalist in their crew and none of them thought, you know what, infection was one of the the biggest killers in war time before 1960, maybe I'll grab some penicillin just in case.

There was a shot in the last episode where it looked like they were arriving at the motel from Season 1 of the game, and for a moment I thought it was going to be a nice little easter egg having our guys be passing through one of the same locations a year or so later.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:I had some terrible audio this episode, what was Daryl going to use the jasper for? Mrs. Richards from A-block asked him to keep an eye out for jasper while they were on their run for use in their husband's (grave?) marker. Jasper is supposedly a stone with great healing energy, which might be why he was so fixated on it at the end of the episode.

Questions about this week: - The vet school was 55 miles away from the prison, yet (IIRC) Daryl/Mischonne were talking about it being about 7 hours to get back? - Which direction did Rick drive that he didn't run into the horde? - Was the horde a single episode thing? - Why were the gas prices on the sign upside-down?  - They escaped by breaking a window and climbing onto the roof, and the walkers inside were stymied and could do no more than wave their arms out while Daryl repeatedly rubbed chests with medic guy? Overall decent episode. I am sharing Rick Hate. Mooseontheloose posted:They also highlight that loss when they find the girl being eaten. She shrugs and says tough luck to her while Rick is obviously effected by their WRONG decision to let them gather food. "Sorry about the watch Rick. Was a nice watch."

No More Heroes posted:Idk they were pulling themselves free from mud-ridden bogs last year and tearing open peoples abdomens. Somehow they seem a little weaker and decrepit this year. Only when drama is required. - Not when Carol is fixing a hose - Absolutely when Mischonne needs to get back in the gates. Surlaw posted:
Seriously... well except that she is suddenly all better this episode after having spent time in the ward filled with people who have the raging illness. Yeah, pretty silly.  Opening scene next episode: Glen and Herschel come out of the ward cured, and ask if anyone knows how a few of the sick people were shivved while waiting for Daryl's group to return. Cut to Rick:  ghouldaddy07 posted:As much I like Carol, she is on the road to becoming Shane. Just like Shane her point of view would cause division among the group. With her not being a rage filled lunatic, she could become a far bigger threat to Ricks leadership. To be honest, Shane > Rick. Part of me wishes Shane had been the one to come away from that confrontation. Although Lori would still be alive, so it would have THAT downside. In the current prison situation who would be more efficient and a better leader, Shane or Rick? Shane would probably been a better farmer as well. gently caress Rick.

I hated the way they handled Shane's death in this show. They did a decent enough job showing that Shane was going psycho and how it was all tied to Rick being alive/Lori being pregnant but the way they made the death come off like Rick was in the wrong about it is awful. It would have made a lot more of an impact if they'd done it they way they did it in the comics.

The show constantly tries way too hard to make Rick look like an idiot, and it's sad that a lot of people eat it up. Just this season so far, Tyreese was on a loving rampage, punching Rick in a blind rage. Rick just sat there and let Tyreese full on swing at him multiple times. Didn't defend himself whatsoever. Finally, Rick fights back, hits Tyreese a few times, and then everyone is like "Woah Rick, cool it bro!" What the hell? Should Rick just let Tyreese curb stomp him because he's mourning? Nobody else wants to lead, so they happily give the weight of the world to Rick, and just as happily dog him every time he slips. Shane and Carol had some pent up "we gotta do summmmmthing!" angst, and were becoming more and more of a threat to the whole group. A major part of the whole entire show, is that holding on to hope and helping each other is more important than ~just surviving~. Every person understands that except the survivalist rear end in a top hat types who will kill anyone or do whatever it takes to live another day. Even in the face of death, people are still sacrificing and putting themselves in danger for each other. That's why the prison group is 'good', and everyone else is 'bad'. And everyone who starts doing crazy poo poo to survive becomes 'bad'.
