Admittedly that was a hallucination. It was actually a walker eating Deryl's boot. :pac:doctor evil wrote: »Also loved when Lori was like we hadn't the talk with Carl.
Yeah and when he popped up out of nowhere when Shane let the baby news out. I tell you, Shane has the tact of a bull in a fine china shop.
Same, but I was really hoping carol would be less weak during that conversation and was really hoping shed come out with a really strong comeback, but she didnt , I suppose its more realistic. Daryls really mean recently, I felt really sorry for carol there, daryl was very cruel:(
He was a complete bastard too her but it's obvious that losing Sophia is hurting Daryl at least as much as Carol.

I really loved that episode, although I had to put my popcorn aside for a few minutes when we got a close up of that walker ripping the guy's face off. :eek:
And the close up of the walker trying to get into Lori's car. I have to hand it to TWD's team, they can really make a convincing zombie.
Can't wait for the next episode after that ending, with Lori manipulating Rick into a showdown with Shane. How will that turn out?0 -

I think he's punishing himself for letting Carol down. He believed he'd find Sophia, and he was very supportive towards Carol about that, like when he gave her the flower and told her that story. So I think he's mad at himself for not being able to follow through and bring Sophia back to her safely. (On a side note, I got my Daryl action figure yesterday. He came with dead squirrels.)I really loved that episode, although I had to put my popcorn aside for a few minutes when we got a close up of that walker ripping the guy's face off. :eek:
You aren't the only one. Any other close up would have been fine, but the face is awful. Ouch.Can't wait for the next episode after that ending, with Lori manipulating Rick into a showdown with Shane. How will that turn out?
She is manipulative. The way she was there, the look in her eyes and her tone of voice...she could have, and should have, dealt with Shane in a nicer way than she's done so far, but the way she is going about this makes you wonder if Shane isn't right about some of the stuff he said about them and instead of admitting it, she sets him up to possibly die.0 -

might just be symbolism.
Spoilered this just incase, it's only theory but still
At the beginning the field zombie was near the trees at the far end of the field. The second time you see him he was in the centre of the field.
He'd Definetly moved anyway. If the zombies do gravitate towards aural and visual stimulus, that could mean they have a range and a shutoff point. So with the car moving past the field at lets say 8am - the zombie moves halfway across teh field until it can no longer see/hear/smell it - stops dead (hah!) and waits.
Sees the car again at 5pm, starts moving again and presumably stops when it's no longer able to sense movement.
Something like that could make travel and scavenging extremely dangerous.0 -

I was more thinking that they were foreshadowing his eventual return...Anyway I have two interesting points which may be spoiler alerts.
1) when shane and rick were dropping off the yound fella with the sore leg theyu came accross two security guards who were zombies. They killed these and shane examined them and notices they had no bite marks. rick notices some scrapes on one of their faces. I wonder is this significant and could it relate to what the scientist whispered in rcks ear before he blew himslef up?
The theory abounds that the scientist told Rick that people who die of natural causes will come back as zombies and that's why there is no hope left.2) secondly when rick and shane were driving and coming back from dropping off the fella with the sore leg shane noticed a walker walking accross a field. Thsi is a bit bizare to me, i mean why have him in there if it means nothing?degrassinoel wrote: »might just be symbolism.

Tbh, I reckon this was just supposed to show Shane how things would be if he were to betray Rick. When they're driving out, he sees a lone walker moving slowly away from the trees. This draws a parallel with how he feels isolated from the group. On the way back, the same walker is out in the open with nothing around him and shows Shane how truly alone he could come to be. I think it was an artistic point more than a plot device.0 -

They are driving back, but the walker is on the same side of the road? Meaning, on Shane's side...2) secondly when rick and shane were driving and coming back from dropping off the fella with the sore leg shane noticed a walker walking accross a field. Thsi is a bit bizare to me, i mean why have him in there if it means nothing?
Anyway, good episode. and high time someone told Lori a few things. An episode where self-righteous Dale could preach non-stop... and nowhere to be seen
And noticed a pink/live flesh coloured arm again, not very dead-like. Are they running out of make up? :rolleyes:0 -

i dunno, short blade like it was, and the force of a good solid punch behind it could easily pierce skull bone. Though the front of the skull is probably the worst place to do that.
Which brings up another problem, the size of the knife and the damage it could do once it's penetrated the skull. Would it be enough to damage the Zombie into death. If i recall from the Jenner lab, the disease/infection/virus was mainly active in the centre of the brain, the rest was just infected tissue. I dont know enough about the brain to actually know what i'm talking about here.. but Rick effectivly gave him a lobotomy.. which ye know.. he kind of already had, being a zombie!
Wouldnt the temples and base of the skull be the the lowest bone density and easiest ways of err.. braining a zombie?0 -

My observations of "18 miles out"
Rick gets more balls with every episode.
Shane takes his baseball cap off and scratches his head another 100 times.
Hershal...Old man starting to see the big picture..good.
Lori gets more annoying and her moral high ground is giving me a nosebleed.
Andrea.... meh..whatever.
Dale.... his RV could do with a clean out...yawn.
Glenn....get some nuts.
Carl... Needs to get shot again.
Daryl...Really want him to get back involved...bad ass.
Maggie... Needs to get naked and ditch pussy boy.
Carol...T-dog keep boring me also.
But...... I f*****g love this show 0 -
