The Walking Dead Season 4

I thought that guy was just choked unconscious. I could be wrong.

The guy in the bedroom may have been unconscious, but the guy Rick choked in the bathroom was dead. Rick cracked the door open before he went out the window, I guess so that when the guy turned he would go after the others in the house. I don't ever recall a walker opening a door that swings in before, but for the sake of the story that's why I think Rick cracked the door.
 
Yes, the guy by the bed was still breathing.

Maybe that was accidental, as in the actor didn't hold his breath like he was supposed to and they missed it. The other possibility is that it wasn't the guy in the bedroom that turned but the guy Rick took out in the head, someone else could have walked in to make a head call and found it already occupied by a walker. As for the turning time thing, it's always varied in the show, people in the show have never turned into a walker within any set amount of time, it's been shown many times that some can turn within minutes others hours. I can't be certain but I think that this might have even been addressed earlier on in the show around S1 while at the CDC where the CDC guy mentions how the time it takes it for a person to varies from person to person.

In as far as this episode goes, I really liked it, it was nice to finally see Michonne actually talk, laugh, and smile a bit and not just walking around all scowly faced all of the time. This episode also convinced me that these people really are idiots and didn't learn from the run from Herschel's farm and have a solid bug out plan in place since not once did either Glenn or Rick, Michonne, or Carl mention about going to some pre-established location where they would all meet up in case they had to run from the prison and got separated.
 
Yeah, the guy in the bedroom was unconscious, you could see and hear him breathing. Rick killed the guy in the bathroom and cracked the door so he could get out when he turned. He needed a distraction to be able to get away.

It's also good that it seems most are headed to this sanctuary place.

Not every episode can be a knock out drag out fight to the death. Look for those at seasons end.

Which was AWESOME, BTW. \m/ \m/

I didn't get it at first. I'm like: "Why the hell is he opening the door???", & then it hit me, Rick was setting up a delayed ambush.

Even though it wasn't balls-to-the-wall, this episode was a win for me.

Ooooooh! Now I get it.

Last night I was wondering what he was doing when he cracked the door.

I agree with this, as the guy was still breathing. The guy Rick killed in the bathroom is the one that turned, and Rick left the door cracked so that when he did, it could be used for a distraction. It seemed like it was taking too long, but the distraction finally kicked in, and Rick was able to get Carl and Michonne to safety.
 
Business in the front, party in the back. I'm smarter than you. Oh really now?..hmm you don't run away from all the zombies. You don't climb into the truck as you see them coming. Spray & pray everything in sight to only hit anything that wasn't a head shot. Took out the truck that we're using. Still stand down in the fielded area with your back to it. Plus have a mullet and it looks like you eat puzzle pieces. Sorry Holmes not buying that for a dollar.
 
I too have my doubts about the so-called scientist, he looks more like some Crocodile Hunter/Bear Grylis wanna be who can't handle a gun than a scientist. The way he dresses and his haircut reminds me too much of Danny McBride's character in Tropic Thunder to take him very seriously much less believe that he's even remotely as intelligent as he wants everybody to believe much less being some genius scientist who actually knows what caused the zombie outbreak and, presumably, how to cure it. I won't be surprised if we find out that he's a fake and just made up the whole thing about being a scientist with vital knowledge of the zombie virus just to get himself a couple of bodyguards who'll think that it's very important to protect him.
 
Yeah, hopefully someone with half a brain figures out he's a fake. I would be questioning his motives. And how he survived without even basic shooting skills is beyond me. I mean, he had a freaking sidearm?!

That's particularly puzzling since pretty much everybody in Rick's original group has become a crack and able to get a head shot pretty much every time, heck, even the little psycho girl that likes to kill things is a better shot than that guy. By this point in the show about the only way that you could have survived this long without being at least a halfway decent shot is to have been a resident of some place like Woodbury from very early on where you have other people who do all of the shooting for you.
 
The mullet thing is just pushing the envelope now. My brother is an actual genius, shaved head but wears flip flops and butt ugly shorts everywhere. But a mullet, that dues faking. His secret is he wants to find some Doritos but is too stoned to even use an M4.
 
Heh, I'll bet there are more than a few straight-up GENIUSES in the world, who have absolutely NO commonsense/situational-awareness whatsoever.

Exactly. There's a show on the Science Channel (in the U.S.) about people who are geniuses. A large portion of them have social issues. I've also had a couple of neighbors who were doctors and they didn't look like they had a penny to their names because of how they dressed.

I'm buying it for now that he's a scientist, but always expecting the worse. I always go over and watch WD with my dad and we were talking and figured that if that scientist was really that important, they'd have a much bigger, heavily armed, convoy to get him to D.C. That way if you lost one truck everyone could get on the next.

I also think the guy that got attacked while Rick was under the bed was just unconscious. Otherwise you'd have to assume that somehow these guys survived this long and haven't figured out that dead people turn. I sure as heck wouldn't go to sleep after I just killed someone without shooting/stabbing them in the head.

Another question is did the toilet zombie Rick created go chasing people around with his pants around his ankles? :lol

I agree. I mean, what exactly does a genius look like? Someone please give me their description of what a genius looks like? How old are they? What is their hair style? The clothes they typically wear? What's their skin color? Are they American? European? Asian? Are they fat? Thin? Athletic? The fact that someone looks a certain way doesn't mean they are a certain way unless they say otherwise (in the case of this guy, if its true that he's not a genius, they could very well be setting it up for a conflict later).

As for the toilet zombie, I guess he probably does, unless the guy took off one of his pants legs (which would be odd).

*****! That's the WORST Scientist I HAVE EVER SEEN! Most of them I encountered are combed, well adjusted and rational, since they are aware, society's gonna put a person in category, if your appearance doesn't conform to certain standards (the exception would be Brain May, he is actually a astrophysicist with his famous pompous hair and a rock guitar). And frankly, why should he know, how the poo started, if even Jenner from CDC didn't cracked it for months! And he had all the equipment e can get, heck he had VI, a talking computer!

This "Scientist" didn't even bother to keep calm, getting the MG out and set the thing on single fire mode - way to waste your bullet, numbnut!

Actually, I saw the series "Extreme Survival" (?), where real scientist and street smarts had to be put in exactly this situation. And the scientists are coming up with real solutions to the problems and they even built a radio from simple spare parts like aluminium foil, car antenna, cables and car batteries.
Sorry, but the scientist with the answer to the world plaque wouldn't have a mullet. :)
My wife said the same thing.
I think he just wants bodyguards. Maybe he's just a smart gym teacher. :)
Ditto!

Okay, granted. There's no THAT look of a scientist. My professors came in thin, slight fat, bearded, no bearded, tall, short, around the ages of 50, white hair, some are receeding, some are not. But if you start talking with them, you'll get the instant idea, they know stuff.

But THAT guy - NEVER!

Y'know everyone's talking about how Rick set up a delayed ambush, or how suspenseful the house full of unwanted guests was, but y'know what I liked about this latest episode?

We're seeing some great character development from Michonne. She's accepted Rick, Carl, and the others as her family now, and is a lot less of the unfeeling machine she was at the beginning.

True on that. We get to see more cracks in her armor. If that's good or bad at this time is an event unseen.

BTW, anyone see the Super Dinosaur comic held by one of the dead kids in the pink room? For those who are unfamiliar with it, it's another comic series created by Robert Kirkman. You can read about it here. This is the second reference to other Kirkman works, the other being Science Dog (which was the logo seen on Carl's shirt in Seasons 1, 2 and 3).
