Season 4, Episode 1 - 30 Days Without an Accident [Spoilers]

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 14-10-2013 03:10AM #1

It's back!

And what a way to kick things off. Gonna have to watch it again just to get my head around it all.

I skipped the last few of season 3 during my recap but I didnt feel like I missed much. catching up on netflix but didnt have time. watching them now, kinda.

As for this most recent episode, I dig the upgrades to the prison - and also, it looks as though the virus might be showing signs of mutation: infection beginning in live, healthy hosts. Recall that in the timeline its only a little over a year since the outbreak.

Me and my brothers were also discussing Asskicker and I have a hunch that she may be immune: some stuff Ive learned from watching way too much sci fi. The mother has a disease the baby will carry the antigen or the immunity. Like in DS9's The Quickening

Its the intro to a new season will wait till i see more but from what i have seen so far I thought it was good maybe a little ott I dunno it doesnt sit 100% but hey.. make it as you wish

pixelburp · 14-10-2013 06:57AM

Sooooo, I suffered through all of season 2, finally cracking and bailing on this show about halfway through #3. Should I come back for number 4 sports fans? Will I be hideously lost (from promos I see we're still at the prison)

The second half of season 3 really picked up the action... It may be worth trying again.

the setup for the next episode is good, though wtf happened that guy? related to the pig dying or the deer Daryl killed? is it contagious?

looked like hemorrhagic fever toward the end.

the scene in the shopping mall with the zombies falling through the roof was class. Great start, and nice to hear an Irish accent, shame she didn't last though.

roll on next week

Are the spoiler tags needed?, is this not a discussion about the episode?.

I was watching it drinking my morning coffee when I heard the Cork accent, I spat my coffee out shouting "what the ****!!" followed by a bout of laughter which resulted in waking a a few 'walking dead' in the house, lol I couldn't listen to a Cork accent for a whole season though:D.

Ah sure its just the obligatory....here are some new people, say hi before they die:rolleyes:.

LOSTfan57 · 14-10-2013 08:15AM

No it is not the zombie virus mutating guys there are other types of illness still present in the world. The intensity goes up again next episode

Hande hoche! · 14-10-2013 10:23AM

Looks like those gun seeds were a good idea.

thegreengoblin · 14-10-2013 11:52AM

I just can't take any Oirish accent seriously on American shows so that was never going to work for me. She even had a sickly green hue about her ffs!

Other than herself, twas a very solid start to the season. The scene with them falling through the roof was class. It was a fairly agonising death for that kid even if it was telegraphed. It looked like Daryl was thinking about getting stuck into Beth. Anyone reckon he's already done the deed with Carol? :cool:

Who the is the guy with the glasses?

Milhouse :pac:

Lone Stone · 14-10-2013 01:03PM

That was a brilliant opening episode, I just hope we dont get a repeat of last season's ending.

Also mill house had a bite on his foot near the end, as their was a bloody footprint from his right foot when walking.

14-10-2013 01:13PM

Went back to that and I couldn't see any bloodied footprint, just a lot of sweaty ones.

It kinda seemed like the introduction of the new characters was like putting them in a Red Away-Team top, because you could almost tell who was and who wasn't going to die. New character has a nice relationship with someone, doesn't say goodbye, so of course he dies. New character is liked by everyone and is a nice guy, so of course he dies.

IvySlayer · 14-10-2013 01:19PM

The Irish is clearly not really Irish.

Any Irish person worth their salt would have a hurley with them all times

briany · 14-10-2013 01:25PM

Yeah, that Irish one took me by surprise. I was hoping she'd make it back to camp and spend the next couple of episodes singing tunes from the old country with Hershel. :pac:

We already had the psychologically broken survivor last series, didn't we?

IvySlayer · 14-10-2013 01:40PM

Maybe he just caught something off the pig and died.

Swine flu? :P

Lone Stone · 14-10-2013 01:42PM

ah yea i just looked back it wasn't blood, time will tell FIND OUT NEXT WEEK bah baa bahhhh!!

gavmcg92 · 14-10-2013 02:50PM

Interesting first episode. Wasn't as good as I was expecting but I guess if I put it in perspective, it beat Dexter's final episode :P

Thought the CGI was really poor. Don't remember it being that poor before. If you want to do something graphically, then you have to do it right. Nothing screams cheap more than poorly done CG.

With all that being said, I'm looking forward to next weeks episode. I guess there's going to be all hell breaking loose in the base as one of the own goes on a rampage. Was it the deer that Daryl brought back? Are we going to see others change too?

Guess we'll have to wait until next week.

I imagine once they find harry potter has turned sans bite and had previously complained of being sick they will tie up anybody who shows symptoms just incase, which would actually be an interesting story thread in a interning the Japanese Americans during WW2 kinda way.

And yeah I'd reckon violet the pig was meant as a graphic representation that the deer and any other animals they eat are possible vectors for disease the deer presumably having picked up something nasty drinking down stream from a rotting corpse .

Hande hoche! · 14-10-2013 04:48PM

Interesting that despite the sick pig, seemingly no one mentions Herschel the vet.

GottaGetGatt · 14-10-2013 05:38PM

I can see The Irish women come back as a walker and kill one of the main characters,with Rick looking on in horror and pondering should he have put a knife in her head when he had the chance.

Refresh my memory?

Mr.Prodston · 14-10-2013 05:50PM

I really enjoyed it. I didn't come in with any expectations or having watched any trailers and thought it was a very good episode. Can fill the void that BB has left me on Mondays anyway.

Sarz91 · 14-10-2013 05:59PM

Anyone else disappointed there was no zombie pig?

Nervous Wreck · 14-10-2013 06:04PM

Nothing special about this episode, especially for a season opener. Went into it knowing there'd be a big zombie fight with someone getting killed et voila. Whatever killed Milhouse will be the driving force of the next few episodes. Also, from the preview shown for the rest of the season, it looks like they'll eventually go down the route of the comics re: Guv vs. Prison. Really wishing they'd start making good use of Tyrese soon.

Season 2. Karl gets scared by a zombie in the forest and wusses out on killing it. Zombie shows up out of nowhere in the next episode and guts Dale.

degrassinoel · 14-10-2013 06:38PM

there's a scene with Herschel and Rick talking, Hershy has no crutch and seems to be walking alongside rick for a moment, just continuity but it bugged me, did anyone else notice that?

I know right? They decide to introduce a bad ass fan favourite from the comics, cast it perfectly in the form of Cutty from the wire then proceed to make his sister the badass while he whines about how he doesn't like doing the fence or going on supply runs. The mind boggles.

It really does make you wonder what they have in store (if anything) for Michael Cudlitz's Abraham.

They later show Herschel with a prosthetic foot. Guess they're allowing him to act as normal.
