I knew someone was going to die tonight because they've all gotten too complacent on the farm. it's almost like they had forgotten that the walkers can show up at any time. no one is keeping up with where the kid is, people are going off alone all the time. just stupidstupidstupid.

I'm surprised that during a zombie apocalypse you lose track so thoroughly of where your kid, recently on death's bed, is for a fair length of time. And keep losing track of him, because he keeps ending up at the barn.

The women never have anything interesting or dynamic to do, plus isn't watching the kids chick work?

I gotta admit, I'm all about having different rules for the apocalypse, so I tuned out a lot of what Dale said. Thing is, this is still a show *not* being aired during the zombie apocalypse, so I doubted they were going to actually go against him, even if they're proven wrong in the end. Somehow, the decision, the act is taboo, unless it's clearly self-defense.

My thing is, why the fuck didn't Rick put a bullet in the kid's brain when he was stuck on the fence?

I think I would have done it. Why bring him back, heal him, and ... kill him? WTF was the point of that?

I probably would have put him out of his misery on the fence what with recent sniper shots fired at me and the horde o' zombies approaching in slow motion. But yeah, don't risk your life saving someone so you can torture and then execute them later when they've done nothing except beg for their lives since.

I have probably thought too much about this, and read too many zombie books, but wouldn't a continuous, decades-long zombie infestation require that the recently dead rise? Because otherwise, people could hole up in zombie-free zones until the zombies all wear out or decompose, always provided the people don't do something terminally stupid.

I got a hint that the mode of infection may have changed. . . last week. But it wasn't addressed at all this week.

What confused me is that Hershel's daughter developed a fever during her faint. Now, I certainly can't blame someone for going catatonic just after her mother's rotting corpse tried to eat her, but I haven't heard of shock in and of itself being able to cause a fever.

does the graphic novel ever go into what exactly caused the zombie apocalypse?

I keep wanting Mary Margaret to stand up in the town square and start screaming "I kissed him! I didn't fuck him! No actual clothes came off!!" Not that kissing a married man is all that cool, but why isn't David carrying any of the blame here? And why is she suddenly a town whore for kissing someone?

well, the town doesn't really know what happened. All they know is that a well liked daughter of the town came into the school and started screaming and crying about Mary Margaret betraying her and being with her husband. It's not like Mary Margaret to say anything, so everyone is thinking the worst.

I am annoyed that David doesn't seem to be feeling any heat from this. If I were Mary Margaret, I would be furious, not just hurt. If he had not lied to his wife about there being someone else, she wouldn't have found out from the Mayor and blown her top and caused a scene at the school.

So...what is the airing situation with Alcatraz? There are two episodes that aired/are airing tonight (1x09 and 1x10), but did 1x08 air? I would like to talk about it.
