I agree, she does nothing but complain, and then when it finally comes down to her actually needing to do something, she's nowhere to be seen.


well carol is only there as an incidental character...they will keep her in until the times comes to kill a random character off to keep the threat of death real. same with that black guy...forget his name. he literally has 2 lines every 5 episodes and they are usually just grunts or random black guy sayings like "thats dope" and "**** that is whack" lol. He's gonna get killed off soon hopefully along with Carl and if we're really lucky...Whori as well.

What I want to know is how they lose that kid so much... post zombie appocalypse, after losing one child, and him wandering off countless times, they still manage to lose him again and again. Laurie is a total bellend too. Daryl is by far my favourite character in the show. I like that he is so well defined as a person, and he is also hardcore and interesting. I also like Glenn, and the blonde woman goes in and out of being a good character. I've heard that Merle might be coming back at some point? That should be obvious given that we didn't see his body.

Trying not to read spoilers as I haven't quite caught up yet.

I have one question though (Spoilers for those who have not yet watched the last few episodes)....


The last episode I watched was the one that ended with Dale getting killed. I was wondering when he stumbles upon that cow, is the point that it's a zombie cow and the disease has jumped the species barrier? Or is it just a cow dying with it's insides spilled out..because that zombie attacked it as it was so starving for flesh?


Oh no I accidently read this and didn't realise it was a spoiler! I love this show but I can't get FX any more and I haven't bothered to find anywhere online to watch it. :frown: I don't understand why no one likes Carl, he's just a kid and I don't think he is any worse than any other child character who in my view are always a bit cringey.

I hope something really bad happens to Lori - I can't stand her character! I agree Carl is such a little ****...

he's disobedient constantly
doesnt listen to his parents
followed shane around like he was his dad or something
teleports in and out of very important scenes...literally out of thin air
has some of the worst lines ever
is just looking for ways to get himself killed (even shane commented on that)
somehow was able to pull off a head shot on that walker from a good 10-15 feet away with a revolver (or was it pistol?)

Just a useless character overall and never ceases to annoy. Oh and also, got Dale killed.

Yes, I wish they would stop being so transparent about who is central and not going to die, and who is dispensible. I heard that in the comics the black guy is an awesome character, but they destroyed him in the series and have pretty much given up on him.

That was quite an interesting save.

I'm all for suspending your disbelief, because afterall the whole thing is totally implausable. I just wish they put that little bit more effort into continuation and character development, to turn this show from being good into being great.

Oh I agree completely. The thing is, the show itself relies heavily on realism in order to scare people and convince them that threats are real. They want the viewer to believe that their premise (however illogical) can be possible and that the threats that the characters face are real. However, then they go and do crazy things like get a head-shot every time they shoot, never keep an eye on their kid, and many other implausible things...their defense becomes...well this is a show about zombies for god sakes...crazy things happen and you shouldn't expect 100% realism.

But it's an interesting juxtaposition because its the realism aspect of the show (or the implied realism at least), which makes people want to watch it because that's what causes the scares and that's what makes the threats real.

It seems they can always get away with stupid writing though because at the end of the day...they're right...it really is a show about zombies lol.

The funny thing is that whori was also a bit of a prick in Prison Break too. I don't know if we are meant to have such hatred for her or not? I think it's her selfishness that pisses me off the most.
