Amen to that.....
It's a shame that it looks like the rumored Stephen King episode is not going to happen.
Anyone notice the huge continuity blooper this week?
When Rick blew away the bad guys in the bar last week, it was bright sunlight outside.
This week they picked up from moments afterwards, and it's fully dark outside.
Probably the best episode this season though, even with the lengthy reminiscing scene about the sick chick who I don't think has spoken a single line of note in the series. They did check her for bites, right?
That would just be too dumb....
He was supposedly going to write an episode. Sadly that went out the door when Darabont got the bootfiresprite said:
Aw, MAN! I wasn't in love with The Cell (King's stab at a zombie novel), but I would've loved to see what he did with an episode or two of TWD.MooCriket said:

I was wondering about that myself. It was daylight, but then night this most recent episode. In a span of about 15 minutes you can get that, but still, it seemed a bit too fast.Birdie said:
Whats funny about the quick night thing is many times, mostly in pilot episodes shot on an interior location, you will have blazing daylight out and then its night sky yet the doorways and windows have artificial light illumination. The funniest one Ive ever seen was the pilot for Parker Lewis Cant Lose. Most of the interiors were shot at night or dusk due to school being in session. 90210 did this many times as well.
If they had just shot it where Rick wasn't standing over the fat dude at the beginning of the episode, it would of been fine.
I've enjoyed the restart of the season so much more than the entire first half already. Like everyone I got bored with the Sophia storyline after an episode or two so when it kept dragging on my interest waned. So far they haven't bogged themselves down with a single overarching plot (yet) and the drama is getting good!
I also agree with T-dog being a totally wasted character. They gave him some love in season 1 but since then he's really faded into the background. He gets his one line an episode and some screen time carrying a corpse or two. Such a waste. I'm hoping next week we see a death in the group which should free up some room to squeeze in a t-dog tale or two per episode!
Wow, I can't believe someone mentioned that show! One of my best buds and I still joke about that show, and everyone else watches us cracking up and has no idea what we're talking about lol.robstyle said:
I'm still waiting for the crazy one handed redneck to come back on the scene looking for retribution.
And still rather disappointed that the group didn't bother collecting any military weaponry outside the CDC.
I don't understand why nobody is using a .22lr pistol, or rifle. The ammo is plentiful, with a low report compared to a center-fire cartridge, especially Rick's .357 Python. It has a low recoil making it easy to aim and keep on target, and a .22 does a lot of damage in the skull easily putting down a Walker. Plus you can carry a large quantity in a small space. There was a Ruger .22 rifle in the armory Rick raided in the pilot, but Rick didn't take it. Many times Police departments will have a silenced .22 to deal with dangerous animals without alarming the public, or the drug dealers they are about to raid.JediG60racer said:

But does the .22 penetrate the skull reliably? Sure, go through the eye socket and you will probably get it to bounce around a few times, but then you're taking a head sized target and bringing it down to an eye socket, and there's still bone behind the eye it'd have to penetrate. Shooting a wild animal that still has to worry about organ damage and blood loss doesn't equate to putting down a walker that only has a vulnerable spot behind quarter inch bone.Krel said:
Add in that it is not dramatic to show .22's.
I used to shoot holes in 4x4 fence posts with .22 magnums, so I could see it, but every gun in movies and tv has to sound like artillery.
I'm still thinking these idiots have a bitten girl lying in the bed and they haven't checked her out.
They may sound like artillery but they don't well represent the actual VOLUME of it. Cuz ******* are guns loud. Popping off a few rounds from the .357 indoors is liable to screw up your hearing for a good little bit.
I actually thought it was a nice touch when Rick fired the gun in the tank. Something a lot of shows miss out on.Paul Andrew said:
I'd be packing a .22lr Rifle all day long but it just doesn't make for good TV. It'd be an equivalent of them shooting airsoft guns on screen, not all that exciting.
In this instance I believe the train of thought is stick with what you know as far as weapons. Do you really want to lug a rifle around like an M4 that needs attention on a regular basis or what your used to and know inside out?
I do know I would have picked up a couple M4's just to mess with, lol.
There goes my theory about who will portray Governor.
Spoiler:
A .22lr can easily penetrate the human skull. A benefit, is that after penetration, the .22 bullet tends to ricochet around the inside of the skull doing massive damage. Although there have be cases of the .22 penetrating the skull, following the inside of the skull, and passing out of the other side with minimum damage. But the odds favor putting them down, especially if you use a hollow-point bullet.Kerr Avon said:

Robert Kirkman Teases Big Shane And Rick Confrontation On THE WALKING DEAD
Maybe my theory wasn't crap !
Has anyone heard of when the season 2 dvd is coming out?
The second season hasn't even finished. Probably not till sept/oct.
an M4/M16 is .22 calibre, they'd look fine enough on screen.dbuck said:
I can't see Rick beating Shane without an assist from someone. Looks like Shane can whoop his *** easily.
