bunomatic Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 R.I.P. Missing girl plot... FINALLY. That was a nice touch. The girl was in the barn. In the previews for next week it looks like the survivors turn on each other. It should be good. Quote
DumbPuck Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 That was a nice touch. The girl was in the barn. In the previews for next week it looks like the survivors turn on each other. It should be good. Unfortunately, the preview you saw was for the second half of season two which won't air until February. I agree though, nice touch with the Sophia in the barn trick. We called it two or three episodes ago though :-P. As for another one of my gripes, the kids still being kids in a world where kids need to be grownups, is finally being tackled. I like how Carl is growing up almost instantaneously as of the shooting. Now we just need mommy to die off so she can't coddle him anymore. How the F**** would they survive a pregnancy / birth in this world anyway? Baby wakes up screaming for the teet at 3am ... I'm sorry but there's no fixing noisy. Quote
wjag Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 My sense is that it's just a couple of months break. It'll be back for the May Sweeps. I think we are being set up to see the little girl coming back as a zombie and taking out the mother who can't put her down. I'm guessing Daryl takes them both out in an act of compassion. Or she is already in the barn; come to think of it, that would be a better subplot. I nailed it. I should be a Hollywood writer. Now that was an episode! That ending scene was crazy good. Talk about jumbling up the lines of humanity and inhumanity. They are sure setting Shane up to be one pyschotic dude. I just have one tad issue, the timeline doesn't support her being in the barn. It would have been better if Rick was saving her with the Farmer when Shane went schizo.. Talk about the mangling of right and wrong; good and bad; humanity and inhumanity. Quote
SabresGameNight Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 You would think that anyone living on the farm would say "hey you guys are looking for a missing girl? We just put one in the barn yesterday". Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 You would think that anyone living on the farm would say "hey you guys are looking for a missing girl? We just put one in the barn yesterday". that was my first thought when she walked out! They all knew that the group was looking for a missing girl. Made no sense to me. Honestly, with the way they were hyping up Herschel believing they were still people, I was expecting his wife to walk out and some dramatic shooting or him running after her, or something along those lines...I wasn't sure if it was going to be Sophia or not. Can't wait for the episodes to start back up in Feb! Quote
Assquatch Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 that was my first thought when she walked out! They all knew that the group was looking for a missing girl. Made no sense to me. Otis put her in the barn, and he's not talking - thanks to Shane and a hungry group of walkers. Quote
DumbPuck Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Otis put her in the barn, and he's not talking - thanks to Shane and a hungry group of walkers. Yeh, it probably happened while Rick was making his three million prayers in that zombie-infested church with his thumb up his ass. Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Otis put her in the barn, and he's not talking - thanks to Shane and a hungry group of walkers. that's a good point. I re-watched the episode last night, and they stress that Otis had been doing that for a while. Makes a little more sense now that most of Herschel's gang did not know who/what was in there. Quote
deluca67 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Posted November 29, 2011 That was a great episode and even a better ending scene. It really hit two major points. 1) Even though Shane and all the others were all gung ho when killing the walkers as then came out of the barn, not one raised their gun to the little girl. Suddenly they were in Hershel's shoes and not one was willing to kill Sophia. It was Rick, the leader of the group, who once again did what needed to be done while the other stood by and did nothing. 2) Hershel was baptized into the new world. He has been living cut off from the world and had been in denial regarding what was truly going on. It took Shane to show Hershel the cruelty of the world they now live in. In doing so he destroyed Hershel's last hope in this new world much like Sophia's appearance from the barn will damage Rick's group. Finding Sophia was a crutch for the group. A hope they leaned on despite knowing inside that there wasn't much chance. Quote
bunomatic Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 I realize how you become a zombie which involves being bitten or infected through blood contamination but the zombies seem excessively hungry which leads to my question about Sophia. Why is she a zombie yet intact i.e. not missing any flesh or body parts. Did she become infected by a kind zombie or a zombie with no appetite? Just sayin. Quote

Possible spoiler from the comic book because I can't remember if they touched on this in the show or not: Zombies bites are lethal, but they aren't what turns people into zombies. People turn into zombies when they die, regardless of their exposure to zombies. Quote

I suppose when I see guys like Otis get ripped to shreds as the Zombies eat him you kind of wonder what would be left to be a zombie. Quote
wjag Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Does make you wonder how they got zombies in the barn without others getting out.. Quote

People turn into zombies when they die, regardless of their exposure to zombies. If that is the case, why weren't all the people they found dead, in their cars, along the interstate (season 2 opening episode) zombies? Quote
ThePebble19 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Does make you wonder how they got zombies in the barn without others getting out.. I would imagine the same way Glenn got in there, and then they either dropped the zombie into the lower part with the rest, or found some way of getting them down there. Quote
bunomatic Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 And it begins again. Been waiting for this for a long time. Was it worth the wait and what are your thoughts on where its going ? Quote
bunomatic Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) After watching the premier of 2012 I have to say there's no other dude I'd like on my side than Rick the good cop. Without giving it away for those of you who may not have seen it, the final scene was very much like dirty harry. I likey ! Edited February 13, 2012 by bunomatic Quote
drnkirishone Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 Rick is comeplete and total badass............ We should get him as our coach lol Quote
bunomatic Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 Rick is comeplete and total badass............ We should get him as our coach lol Thats his name. Thank you. I had a brain fart. Quote

Without giving it away for those of you who may not have seen it, the final scene was very much like dirty harry. I likey ! Awesome ending. The tension ebbed and flowed thru out the scene. I watched it at least 3 times. Ricks got a pretty quick draw! Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 I absolutely loved the season premiere. This (half of the) season looks a little more promising than last. Quote
deluca67 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Posted February 13, 2012 I absolutely loved the season premiere. This (half of the) season looks a little more promising than last. The scene where the arm fell off of the truck was great. Quote
spndnchz Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 How did I miss this! Oh yeah. Thanks Time Warner. Had it on the DVR schedule but now with Fios I have to reprogram all my shows. I think it's on again Friday. Quote
