  1. When did Daryl become my favorite?! Because man, that guy has become awesome.

    Can I just say that every time they passed that G.D. blue Igloo of fluid on the back of that El Camino I threw my hands up in disgust? SEARCH EVERY VEHICLE. Man.

    “I imagine that’s what the crowds leaving a Jeff Dunham performance look like.” LOL’d, fer serious. Because it’s probably true.

    Awesome recap. AWESOME. Cannot wait to watch this season with you/these.

  2. Awesome recap!

    Just one little thing: Lori is the one who wants to run away with Shane; Andrea was the one who saw them talking about it.

    I can’t wait to see your recap next week!

    • Lori doesn’t want to run away with Shane, she also doesn’t want Shane to leave and chastised him for it. Andrea asked him towards the end to let her go with him, after overhearing their conversation.

      (Oops, I just realized that might have sounded snotty from me and I didn’t mean to be, just mentioning the scene, is all.)

      • I didn’t take it as snotty at all!

        Apparently I must’ve missed something in that scene, though; one of the drawbacks of watching it with a large group of rowdy people! So sorry for the incorrect correction! Mea culpa.

  3. Oh, man, when Lori was getting snooty about (makeshift) graverobbing. That was ridiculous. At the absolute very least, the dead don’t care if you steal their stuff. Most of them are trying to eat you, though, so jacking their corn is just fair play.

    I didn’t even make the “eldest son” connection! Awesome. Great recap!

    • I think if the zombie apocalypse happens, looting would be one of the few things that would bring me pleasure. (Well, that and Febreze.) The dead don’t care. They really don’t. So I’ll be havin’ that Tag Heuer and whatever interesting pharmaceuticals you have in your bag there. Hell, I’ll even take your boots off your nasty disintegrating feet if they look like they might be the right size and they have bad-ass pointy toes.

  4. Great recap!
    I kept thinking “Zombie Jesus!!” during all of the internal church scenes. He was the first zombie of the post-BCE! So, does that make all of the WD zombies Christians? They are following in his path, so to speak…including that whole “eat of my flesh, drink of my blood” type of thing.

    • Yes. I think you may be on to something. I’m counting the minutes to get home for some communion of my own with a bottle of red.

      I found this from Rolling Stone’s recap today:
       (Carol!), prays to Jesus for Sophia’s safety. It would be so awesome if Jesus opened his eyes and made a moaning noise and ate Carol, but this sadly does not happen.”

      I so wish I had thought of this! It’s fantastic!
      I LOOOOOVE the idea of Zombie Jesus eating I’m-so-pathetic-sad-meek-and-needy Carol right up there at the altar.

  5. I loved the “Thriller/flash mob wannabe” comment. I was wondering if Walkers stop to crap. Do they wipe? Do they prefer Charmin Ultra, like I do? Do they then touch their phones after pooping, like those yucky people in that recent study???
    They eat…and pretty poorly, with little variation or fiber. I guess when your lips are rotting off, you don’t care if your if your ass itches. This was a tough episode. I love zombie head smashes and skewering, but bum out on missing kids. I hope she draped some double-dead walker’s back and ass skin over herself and booked it, outta there.
    Who tha f&$k allows their kids to walk up to a wild deer? They attack sometimes. They kick and head butt. That’s not cute, it’s careless. What if the walker-chomper virus jumps the species and that deer goes ape-shit-chim chim on the kid’s A?? That shot was due. Sherriff Zombie basher got what he asked for. You don’t challenge the O.Z. (original zombie)!!!

    • You know, during that scene, I was very worried that deer would just take a bite out of Carl…

      • That was exactly my worry. A zombie deer bite right to the face. Chomp his nose right off. And then we’d know the “disease” had jumped the species barrier. And it would be over. Can’t be in the city because of the walkers, dogs, cats, and rats. Can’t be in the woods because of the deer, woodchucks, squirrels, sparrows, and mosquitos. And that would take us back again to the best option being to opt out.

  6. That episode had very very intense moments… That concert crowd whole scene made my heart pound…

    [Andrea] is angry because when he said he would stay and be incinerated if she stayed, she’d have his blood on her hands. And I was sitting here thinking, ‘You’d be DEAD, bitch, so you wouldn’t be in a position to care. Or have a conscience. Or feel bad about it. So WTF are you on about?’ SRSLY!!

    Oh Daryl… You’re so awesome. <3

    I liked how Lori shut everyone up about their blaming Rick for everything but she also needs to get over that graveyard thing. They're dead, they don't care.

    Sign from God, eh… Sounds like Rick forgot he was in Sunnydale and said 'I wish…' BAD BAD BAD!

    ” I imagine that’s what the crowds leaving a Jeff Dunham performance look like.”
    THANK YOU.

    This episode bugged me. From the zombies suddenly being upon them despite Dale ‘watching’ with his binoculars, the kid being dumb enough to wiggle out 2 seconds after she thought the zombies were gone, Lori being a self-righteous snoot about ‘robbing’ dead people, and Dale not giving Andrea her gun back. I’d be all, ‘It’s my gun! Zombies everywhere! I’m not asking you to give it back, I’m telling you. F you guys, Lori gets her gun?’

    And don’t even get me started on Carol blaming Rick for her dumb kid getting lost. Feel free to chase after her, milksop. But hey, let’s all hang out at the church and pray and reflect, right? Every moment counts, right? No? Oh, okay.

    • Yay! Someone else in the world who isn’t under the inexplicable spell of Jeff Dunham’s “comedy.” Sometimes I feel all alone in my unadulterated hatred for him. I will wreck my car in order to change the comedy station I listen to if he comes on. He’s awful enough with the damn puppets, but to just listen to an audio track of him could very well do irreparable damage your brain. It might kill the human part, and then, just maybe, restart only the brainstem. Jeff Dunham could very well be what the CDC guy was whispering to Rick about in the finale of the first season of The Walking Dead. His “comedy” may be what started this undead apocalypse! If so, there really will be no choice for anyone but to opt out.

        I don’t think there is a word that can describe how much I hate him and his stupid puppets and his stupid act. Why do people think this is entertaining? Why? Why God, why?
