Andrea overall I think is kinda cool. At least, most of the times. But she also really sucks sometimes too. Hence, she also needs to die.

As for the zombies with "claws", if you watch the "Talking Dead" aftershow, the special effects guy talked about that. He said that basically the zombies are just boney since they are all rotting and whatnot; so it is conceivable that it would make it easier to claw into a soft fat belly if it was just sharp bones, rather than fleshy fingers.

I don't know...So many characters have battled them and have come away with gaping wounds from sharp bones. That was far fetched and not creative.

More importantly, when did completely brain dead, walking parasites develop stealth-like ninja moves? They can't sneak up behind people or not make noise. They just groan and growl at anything that is edible. No way Dale is completely oblivious that he's hanging out behind him.

Lastly, Darryl was that dude in this episode. He started the episode like a boss and ended it like a boss. I'm glad the writers heard my complaint about phasing him out.

P.S., Roundhouse, I'm going to have a preemptive T-Dawg toast tonight to him getting a chance to build his career with some actual facting.

Facting = fat, angry, acting. Coined by Galifianakis.

Then Darryl ran out (and obviously didn't kill him.) That's too bad, as from the previews now Randall lives and escapes and causes havoc.

Also, I didn't say it was a good reason about the zombie claws, just the reason that the head special effects guy said. And it was retarded that the zombie somehow "snuck up" on Dale. I was thinking that same exact thing last night as well.

I was thinking the same thing when Dale died. He is walking across a huge field with no trees or other obstructions yet the zombie sneaks up behind him in like 2 seconds flat without making a sound!? Yea...right. Then the part where it rips into his stomach was really dumb too. There is no way a weak rotting zombie that couldn't even get itself unstuck from the mud could be strong enough to do that.

It was almost as dumb as last episode when Rick & Shane were intentionally cutting their hands open to lure the vampir...err I mean zombies.

That cow would have kicked the shit out of a rotting zombie, too.

That would take about 4 or 5 zombies to get that job done.

And cotdamn Carl losing Darryl's gun. It's going to come back and screw Darryl so he dies because his gun is gone. Why isn't Carl telling people how dumb he is so Darryl can get his gun? FYCK.

I don't care that they are a woman and a kid........ Lori and Carl both need to get deaded.

A "somewhat logical" explanation to the Stealthy Wolverzombie (sounds like a charactedr from "Once Upon a Time").

Nonetheless, if detaching ourselves from reality has seemed a little difficult because of the situations all of you mention, imagine how weird it is going to get when this lady shows up....

Oh boy. I have little faith that the writers of the show competently work that into the current storyline. Haha.

Clearly they will invent a husband/boyfriend/brother to be the sword-wielding zombie slayer. She will just be along to cook, do laundry, complain about everything, and occasionally do something incredibly stupid so they can advance the plot.

..., but I think she ALREADY has that man...!

Just watched the latest. Wow. Harsh ending for Dale to get disemboweled like that. Good call by DFS on the stealth ninja zombie. Bad call by any one of those clowns who keep wandering around aimlessly as if everything is hunky-dory.

Wouldn't you rather die than live that way? I might. Life as a zombie might not be horrible. Nothing to worry about, really.

You guys covered off on everything else...but...

Whatever you do, do NOT now click on that link that has the spoiler. I did it, wanting to read about what happened with the AMC DVD case fail in hindsight...

...let's just say that it had nothing to do with Dale.

Don't do it. You'll see soon enough.

Yeah. So, now I know what happens. Not Dale. Overall I'm not too upset about the revelation. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Keep the guesses coming!

Shane plans on murdering Rick within sight of the farmhouse (LOL) and when he turns into a zombie Carl hits him with a perfect headshot from 30 yards away. Once again Carl was out wandering around in the dark by himself. These writers are hilarious.

It's not even so bad it's good, just bad.

So how exactly did Shane turn into a zombie?

And where did all those Walkers in the woods come from?

I'm confused.
