Wow, this week's episode.....tough to watch.
What we learned.
Morgan is demented and a stone cold coward. Harps on for episodes about not killing anyone, then kills the only dude with an ounce of courage.
Carol is a self pitying jerk, who is now refreshed from her sabbatical and ready to fight. Of course she looks like she should be clipping coupons and knitting shawls, but instead is a battle tested warrior...ugh. Oh and did I mention she is a self pitying jerk?
People are calling Ezekiel "your majesty"....what? I guess where I live people are just a little to self reliant to imagine anyone calling someone "your majesty". Not to mention he is a coward.
I think the main characteristic the supposed good guys share is the mentality, "I hope the alligator eats me last". All it takes is for someone to act mean and tell them to hand over their guns and they comply as fast as they can. Why do they even carry weapons if they are so quick to hand them over. Even with equal numbers the bad guys talk tough and the cowards...I mean good guys slide their weapons over like the security guards in the movie "Tommy Boy".
Have the writer's changed? I remember the episode where Rick killed Shane in the field and as Rick was explaining to Carl what happened, the zombie horde was slowly coming into view. That had a creepy atmosphere to it. Now it just doesn't have any direction to it. It is all unbelievable Tom Foolery. I have to rewind a few times just to make sense of it.
They are definitely killing the golden goose. The actors are rarely united. I'll bet some of them don't even feel like they are still on the show. Appearing in an episode here and an episode there. And when they are together they are either doing something unbelievably stupid or cowardly. They never stand up for each other. They stand around petrified until someone gets killed. They thank their lucky stars it wasn't them and go back to serving their overlords. If they don't have enough loyalty to one another to stick together like "A Band of Brothers", then what is motivating them to loiter in the area? It can't be the fear of zombies. Grandma Carol goes for a walkabout all the time, dispatching the undead like she is the wrestler that has finally been tagged during a WWF tag team match.
Still I watch to see the ending. Which for me is three more episodes.
