I kinda liked Carol and the kids scenes, though. Her scaring the shit out of him was good stuff. Now we're going to get less of the hardened version of Carol as she broods, laments and monologues about the kids death and her hand in it. Perfect opportunity for these writers to get overly hamfisted and melodramatic. Need more George Miller style as TWD really is better the less they open their mouths.

The only thing I'll never understand about this show is why are we using knives to melee zombies instead of spears or spears and shields.

Do you know where to find a spear or shield in real life? Shits pretty rare...

Yes, I know they could just make some, but that's super tough man! Sharpening a long stick is soooo much work.. aint nobody got time for dat!

(I agree with you, mostly. It would be a lot harder to find some real spears and shields then you'd think, but make shift ones seem pretty logical to make. Hell, even magazines wrapped around your forearms, ala Brad Pitt in World War Z would be some amount of protection.)

I don't know dick about survival but I could definitely build a fire hardened spear in 5 years.

Spear is good if you have range, but they were wading into the zombies like it was fucking Braveheart. Something smaller and more easily able to be used in short range is better.

Rick using the hatchet was dumb, though. Too easy for it to get stuck inside a zombie skull.

I have yet to see anyone with a spear or shield in RL, just sitting in their house. Everyone has knives though.

It's weird, because my biggest complaint was the switch from day to night.

What the fuck were they doing for however many hours it took to become pitch black at night? Were they just wandering in circles? Then the wolf and nurse just sat there...for hours?

They actually talked about what a pain in the ass it was to try and film at night. I'm guessing they got lazy and it was supposed to be some kind of time lapse while the walkers thinned out.

Because "Carol" watches the show and knows that the kid freaked out because of what she said? Is that why she's going to brood, lament and monologue?

Hard to find shields? You guys are joking, right? Remember that time they took over the prison and made a note of how hard it was to kill a walker wearing riot gear? And the one black guy picked up a riot shield, was like hell yeah, and was then killed off and riot shields went extinct? The characters aren't bad or dumb, the writers are.

Pretty sure they'll all talk about what happened and she'll be afraid that she was the one to screw the kid up into being the type of fearful ninny that freaks out among zombies. And Rick will do the same because he killed the kid's dad. Etc. It'll be an overblown moralistic point that drags the show down for a few episodes until they find something else to over react emotionally too.

Carol has more important things to worry about, like beating herself up for not killing Morgan.

I seriously doubt anyone is going to be talking about the death of the mom and 2 kids, much less relaying it for everyone in graphic detail.
