In the season 2 review videos I thought it was pretty embarrassing how the talking dead episode after the car flip has a random celebrity ripping mazzara a new one about how Lori's car escapade made no sense. "Wait, she left to go get Rick and Glenn to tell them that they need to find Herschel...which they are already doing? And she leaves Carl alone and goes by herself?"

Just got caught up on walking dead. Did a mini marathon of the past 3 episodes. That was seriously messed up. The child actors arent the best but yeah that was one of the better episodes this show has produced. Carol rules, Tyreese rules and rest in peace girl who fed rats to zombies  .

STAC Goat posted:I have a hard time buying some of them like Dale going for the idea in the first place but in the end the point of it was that they were behaving recklessly and stupid and Maggie, the outsider, is the only one who can see it until Glenn's close call. I'm kind of late on this, but the problem with this explanation is that it isn't what really happened in that scene. In fact the biggest problem with that entire scene was precisely the fact that it wasn't some reckless, spur-of-the-moment thing but a supposedly thought out plan. The reckless thing would have been to just shoot it in the head like Shane suggests (at least according to the show which, while stupid, I can just ignore) and both Maggie and Andrea of all people immediately realize that it's a dumb idea. Then seven grown-rear end adults (including Dale) stand around and come up with the genius idea of lowering Glenn down to magically hook a rope around the zombie's torso. At this point someone goes and gets rope, and they rig up their lovely I-see-no-possible-downsides-to-this pulley system (which includes tying the end of the rope to a horse's saddle). Oh, this is also the point in time when they try lowering some bait and a noose down to try and "catch" the loving thing and pull it up by its loving neck apparently. Also Maggie emerging as the voice of reason doesn't really work that well when she's a)there when they come up with the plan and b)there the entire time the plan is under way, and doesn't say anything until afterwards. Sorry, but that entire sequence has zero redeeming factors and is beyond idiotic. The premise is somehow less believable than 'zombies exist' and the execution is laughably dumb. Even if there was a good point/metaphor/symbolism behind it all, the obvious thing that immediately jumps out is that the characters are acting in a ludicrously stupid manner and doing things that no actual human being would ever do. It is, without doubt, the dumbest scene this show's ever had.

I haven't watched it in forever so some of my facts may be off. So I apologize ahead of time for that. You can behave recklessly even if you're planning it out. You can have a reckless plan. That was kind of Shane's MO and Glenn's self appointed role in the group. To do reckless poo poo that could have terrible consequences if something goes wrong. I think that was a big part of the (generally poorly executed) theme of the farm run and Shane vs Rick vs Hershel. Hershel had lost all perspective because he had been living safely and comfortably. He had no healthy fear of this world and it was bound to collapse on him in time. Shane also had lost perspective the other way. He had lived so desperately that he had become reckless and dangerous. He saw every danger as something that needed to be taken care of immediately and every resource as one that needed to be preserved desperately. Rick was often caught in the middle seeing both points and trying to bridge the gap, often reaching too far one way or another as he struggled to find a balance, but neither he nor Hershel were there for this. So Shane and his people see the well and say "crap, we need that water so we better do something about it." Glenn sees what's happening and says "drat, that sucks but I guess I have to do it because that's what I do." Because Glenn has gotten used to doing stupid, reckless things for the group and sees it as his value. Even when it all goes to hell they don't see it as something insane they never should have tried, they just shrug as if to almost say "it was worth a try." But Maggie is mad because she can see it wasn't worth the risk. She deferred to them probably for a lot of reasons. Because she kind of respected what they had been through and the experience they had, or because she kind of knew her dad was wrong, or because Shane and them are intimidating, or because she didn't want to open the "don't kill walkers, just stick them in the barn" can of worms. But once it had all gone to hell she has no problem seeing it fully as ridiculous. But even at that point Glenn, Shane, and the rest don't seem to get it because for them it was just another day in reckless zombie world living. That, I believe, was the point. To illustrate just how stupidly they were living, especially Glenn. I also think it was there to underscore the recklessness of Shane's leadership without Rick there but I'd have to rewatch to be sure of that. In time Maggie helps him get that he has more value than just being the stupid stunt guy. But Shane just escalates his behavior with the barn incident, his clash with Glenn, or Randall.

What I thought made the well thing stupid right at the bat, even before the Glenn-dangling plan, was that they had absolutely no reason to assume that the zombie sitting and slowly decomposing in the well for who knows how long didn't already make the water too contaminated to drink. If they had an arguably rational reason to believe that getting the zombie out would make the water okay, then you can possibly argue that the Glenn-dangling was just reckless. But as it was, I'd say it was brainless. It was a bad scene.

By the way I'm not really defending the scene. I agree it was pretty stupid. I'm just saying I think it had a point to it. As opposed to the Lori car crash thing which was not only stupid for the character in every conceivable way but it also undermined the character and served no real story purpose that I can remember. For all its flaws I think the well thing at least had good intentions behind its writing. But I'm also not sure why we're dredging up bad scenes from two seasons ago. Is this what happens when the show has an episode most people liked? Hate watching withdrawal or something?

I think looking at the stupidity of Season 2 provides a good contrast to how much better Season 4 is in comparison. I may not have enjoyed the last couple of episodes (except last week's, which was pretty drat good), but they are still miles ahead of Season 2. I'm sure there are quite a few people who "hatewatch" this, but keep in mind that there are also lots of people that still really love this show, but can recognize when it's being utterly retarded.

Regarding Glenn-in-the-well chat, if I remember correctly, there were other wells they could have used. EDIT: I just checked and they had five wells on their property. No reason to rush to get that zombie out. theCalamity fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Mar 22, 2014 |

It's too bad that she got a case of that mysterious disease that makes it so you can't talk and have to communicate via scowls, otherwise she probably could've just told Andrea what she felt and the whole thing wouldn't have been a huge deal.

Laurie Holden played a recurring character on the last season of The Shield and was so drat natural that I honestly didn't even realize it was her in The Walking Dead until someone pointed it out like three seasons into this show.

I have to admit that the last time I rewatched The Shield, I went  when she arrived because of Andrea. that character was so terrible it did taint her somehow a bit as an actress for me.

I think it's sad she was fired/left the show because the writers wrote her so drat bad that she got literal death threats. That's pretty disgusting. None of it was her fault.

Does anyone else get Holden confused with that blonde from My Name is Earl and Joe Dirt? Whenever I see her I think white trash. That, and the fact that her TWD character was so bad I'd rather not see any more of her work. (because of the taint, not sure if she's actually awful or not)
