    I kind of hate watched it the last couple seasons after a fantastic first season. This season has easily been the best since the first season.

    Rick needs to just fuck-off. He's an insufferable cunt.

    Last night's episode was awesome. Haven't read the comics but surely the prison residence isn't permanent. Will be interesting to see where they end up.

    I LOVE the show...even though sometimes it seems to turn into a soap opera for 1-2 episodes until they come back around to being AWESOME!!

    I'm a steady follower of the show. That said...

    WALKING DEAD'S HOLLYWOOD RACIST MOMENTS - Black dudes always getting beat up or punked by white dudes.
    The amazingness of how few lines T-Dog was given through out much of his time on the show.

    Nice bang 'em up finale to the half season. I've enjoyed this season the most since the short first season.

    I am a bit concerned that it seems like the show is intent on killing off or exiling the characters who actually seem to exhibit the highest IQ's and survival strategies outside of Daryl, while trying to sell us on the idea that worthless, indecisive pieces of shit like Rick and his demon spawn son are actually the heroes of the show.

    I don't give a shit about the baby. I cared more about that lesbian who got shot in the head, or Martinez then I cared about that damn baby. The whole Grimes family needs to be wiped off the post-apocalyptic landscape for the safety of everyone else involved. Rick's flip floppy morals are for shit.

    That Daryl dude's hair looks looks he spends 4 hours with Justin Bieber's hairstylist prior to filming.

    Rick doesn't bother me that much. As for Carl... well I wouldn't be too upset if someone got a little bitey on him.

    So, why do you hate babies?

    They can't act for shit! :lol:

    Plus, the whole concept of babies used as props in films and tv, just annoys me. Brings nothing to the table.

    I also view this show through the lens that Rick Grimes is the bad guy in the show. Nearly everything bad that has happened to the characters in the show has been the direct result of poor decision making from either Rick, Carl, Lori, or that damn baby not being taken care of properly.

    Shane was a fucking strategic genius compared to Rick.

    They should have turned it into a little walker baby, biting the legs off Carl. Now that wudda been something.

    I miss Shane.

    Rick lies on the ground screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOO", while a bunch of walkers skip right over him to make walker meat out of 3 or 4 other toddlers whose names we never learned.


    God, I hate this show...........but I love it at the same time. :lol:

    Yeah, I noticed that and they're also #2 and #3 of the guys who got dominated by white characters. Meanwhile they did a verbal kill off of that other big black dude who used to run with the governor's crew. I was going to scream more racism but since it does kind of work into the plot of how the governor didn't want anyone knowing his pass I guess it makes sense. But still!

    Not a filler episode, but an episode to set up future episodes. Not every episode can be a blowaway episode without being built up. Would the mid season finale been as good as it was without the 2 previous, somewhat boring episodes that preceded it?

    I agree though, way too many commercials.

    Great episode. Really happy to see the baby survive. What a predicament Tyreese was in with two young girls and a baby to look after at night in the woods!
