I'm starting to get on the "**** Carl" boat.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

That's where my annoyance with him lies. He acts like a bad ***, but he's not at all.

He's a kid! If you're in the ZA and you're a kid, you either grow up and act tough and survive or be vulnerable and die.

Oh, Carl! You're a funny man!

Getting your shoe stolen by a Walker; getting beat by a door... Yeah, you win alright!

How old is Carl, exactly? Clearly, he needs some strength training because he kept falling on his ***. Plus, needs more composure when the Walker is within 5 feet. Dude went from being a straight-shot to firing like a Stormtrooper.

I'm about to say something that will sound ridiculous because of the possibility of an actual zombie apocalypse.....

But, if a kid acted like Carl has in a real zombie apocalypse, he would've been dead a long time ago. He's reckless and sloppy.. not a bad ***.

Darryl is a bad *** because he knows exactly what he's doing and he respects the threat. Carl doesn't respect the walkers and how they can overwhelm him, which is why he keeps getting himself in situations where he's taken by surprise.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

I enjoyed the episode. I thought the Michonne stuff was great. My biggest gripe with her from Season 2 was that she wasn't human enough. Now we finally got to see why she was so guarded. Regarding the dream sequence of course it was weird, just like every other show that I have watched that had a dream sequence. Dreams are supposed to be weird.

Carl was annoying, but honestly there was some nice character development for him as well. He's had all the anger built up for a long time and he finally had enough. Misguided or not he blames Rick for the deaths of his loved ones and them losing the prison. For whatever reason he thought that he had all the answers and could make it on his own. Then as soon as he failed he went running back to Daddy. That's not unlike most teenagers (and even some adults) nowadays.

I'm guessing 14 or so. Which is a little older than the comics. Not really sure.

I hate Carl because the character is poorly acted and poorly written.

This had me laughing

The episode was what I expected. A little on the slow side but plenty of more episodes to come for this season. I did enjoy getting a little background on Michonne . Great perspective on her past.

As others have mentioned already, Im also starting to not be a fan of Carl. Part of me was hoping he would be done in by one of the walkers but figured it was too early in the season for something like that.

It was kind of hard to watch Rick and his crooked leg and one eye at the beginning. The governor sure did mess him up. All in all, this episode was what I expected. Am looking forward to the rest of the season.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

I'm sick of the whole Grimes family. I think I'll enjoy next week's episode much more.

Loved the episode. Glad to see some new episodes.

Carl's soliloquy was basically the definition of overacting.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

So I guess this Sunday's episode is gonna be similar to last Sunday's, just following two other parties?

I assume so. Won't see any Rick, Carl, or Michonne next week.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

Also, this might be an unpopular opinion, but here goes: I think Carl's actor gets way too much hate.

Whiny teenagers who try to act like adults are annoying. I think the actor is playing his role just fine.

I agree. He's acting like a 15 yr-old. What a novelty.

I also have a theory of what might have happened to Judith...

Spoiler

What if the governor's lady friend Lilly and her sister picked her up? Wouldn't be surprised to see them down the road in an episode with Judith as a little girl.
