Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, apparently everyone is a sharpshooter that shits ammo, though. They don't seem to waste bullets, and they talk about running out, but other than showing Andrea grab for them, I don't think they make that real enough.

They've become ninjas in short order, but still stayed really stupid.

How did Darryl suddenly stop being an offensive jackass? Did he wake up un-racist one morning? Does that really happen? I mean, one one hand people seem remarkably the same, and on the other, they seem totally different since the start, if you see what I mean. I can't tell the difference between why they changed and why they didn't.

I mean, seriously, is hanging out for T-Dog a cure, or is he just wearing the sheets as PJs? He just seems to have been totally redeemed without anything actually happening.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just can't imagine that so many people would be that stupid for that long.

It isn't like some of this is bad luck, or calculated risk.

It is fucking a-hole stupidity.

Yes, I watched "The Talking Dead" for the first time this season and the character in the hood is confirmed.

Yeah, I was a little irked by that -- I was like "Everyone's making' head shots from moving vehicles in the dark? WTF ever!"

I think Merle was his big bro and Darryl emulated him without thinking about it. And now his worldview is turned upside down, and he's not a stupid person. He and Glenn seemed to have developed a friendship, and I think this is the closest thing he's had to a family in forever (although, Darryl, man, hold out for a beter chick than Carol. Woman's been through some stuff, sure, but you need a partner, not a clinging vine o' crxy.

Oh! And remember when Darryl got stuck with the arrows and halluncinated Merle? He kinda lucid dreamed himself into flipping Merle, and all he stands for, the metaphoricl bloody bird.

For the first time, Darryl's part of a unit, and a unit with a mission -- and HE IS IMPORTANT to them. I can see a 180.

I AM tired of only one freakin' woman being on the hunter side rather than the nuture side. I'd side with Andrea. Despite SHOOTING DARRYL, YOU STUPID, COCKY WENCH. That was a face-slaping moment this season.

I can clean and organize and wash, and would, but I want my safety and fate to be in my control as much as possible. Especially -- let's break down that 4th wall -- if I had my family with me. My sister and I would be the badasses of the group, not D. Dad would probably be able teach us more gun use, and he has a plethora of dirty tricks from Army days. My mom? Oooh, not good. My mom would NOT BE HAPPY about a zombie apocalypse.

HELL YEAH, I'd be sucking it up and learning how to be the baddest bitch I can be. Save myself, save my friends, save my fam...the clothes can be dirty one more day.

I swear, I'm gonna write a zombie apocalypse book where a woman becomes the leader of a bunch of testosterone-driven males, and just dominates them and cuts of 1/2 of this bullshit dick-flanging.

Your dick ain't gonna kill a zombie! Put 'em back in your pants and get to work!

To be fair, seeming happiness of most of the women to be all Suzy Homemaker drives me batshit. Without their planning and organizing, things are screwed. i would be participatory. But I was all HELL YEAH to Andrea when she was all "Fuck the laundry; I am going to learn to go kill some zombie ass! And you chicas might wanna think about that too."

They DO need to find a ammo dump.

Damn, I AM going to cave over the summer and get the comics compilation, I just know it...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Go read "Y: The Last Man."

off to look!

ETA: $43! Whoa, a little rich for my blood. I'll have to try to find it in a lib or something.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I want you to write this, so I can read it.

Yeah, there are 10 volumes. Totally worth the library trip.

I will have to pay my fines and check it out. Although it might be easier to just buy it.

I'll get to that, Zen...before or after I do a modern re-telling of "The Goblin Market."

Hrm. Mash-up?!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Y: The Last Man is awesome, and I think I might try to catch up on the comic over the hiatus, especially because I hear good things about this new character.

They don't seem to waste bullets, and they talk about running out, but other than showing Andrea grab for them, I don't think they make that real enough.

ZOMG SERIOUSLY.

Yeah, I was a little irked by that -- I was like "Everyone's making' head shots from moving vehicles in the dark? WTF ever!"

ZOMG SERIOUSLY, PART DEUX.

Lori, weren't you JUST telling Rick to kill Shane?

In conclusion, CARL, STAY IN THE FUCKING HOUSE.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Darryl made somewhat racist comments early on (and still did in this episode, though it was clearly affectionate busting on Glen), but it's never been reflected in his actions toward the people of color. He jumped in to save an injured T-Dog from a zombie horde early this season without a moment's hesitation to consider his own safety. I think his racism was of the raised-in-an-ignorant-environment sort without the heat of any actual hatred, and he's smart enough to judge the people around him by their deeds rather than their skin color (hence saving most of his disapproval for Lori and Shane).
