I was a bit underwhelmed. I guess it's hard to live up to how breathtaking the last episode it was, so this one seemed dull in comparison.
I also really don't want Hershel to 'come around' and allow them to stay on the farm. I think the show is more interesting when they're on the move. I want them to get going. They can bring Glenn's little squeeze with them. Im also unhappy with the turn Daryl has taken. I liked him turning into 'the hero'.
Indeed; what I noticed about the first season, was that there was always a goal in reach; Rick finding his family, the group finding the CDC, the group traveling to Ft. Benning, etc.; there was always a destination that they needed to reach, and obstacles that stood in the way. I mean staying on a location that the audience knows won't last long for an episode or two is an excellent way to build suspense, but with the farm, all tension has fallen short after too much time being spent there.
Also, I agree about Daryl, although I don't think they're going to turn his character around completely; he's reacting like any normal person would be, frustrated and angry. I'm certain that they'll have him threaten to leave the group and or return to his old self, then probably have him come back at the last moment as a good guy; it's a good way to build suspense.
Well, it was still largely zombie-free, but I have to give them credit - stuff happened. Too much of the time in Season 2, if someone had asked me what happened in a particular episode, I would have stood there trying to remember if anything did.
Yes, at the very least the last ten minutes had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation; despite not having any zmobies, that scene in the bar was probably one of the best scenes in the whole damn series; for the moral implications of what kind of world they live in, if not for the uneasy suspense and tension.
Underwhelming, for sure, except for the last 10 minutes. Lori continues to be utterly useless. Where does she get off ordering everyone in the camp around? I don't like that she's appointed herself the First Lady of the camp because Rick is the leader. LOVED that Daryl called her Olive Oyl. Hilarious.
I liked the actors playing the sleazeballs in the bar, and I liked Rick realizing that he can't be Jimmy Stewart during the Zombie Apocalypse. He has to kill or be killed, and no one gets the benefit of the doubt where supplies and safety are concerned. I like Rick so much more as a badass.
I hope they leave the farm soon, and I wish the car accident meant the end of Lori, but I'm sure all it means is that she'll be annoying and helpless and lost, and they'll spend three episodes wasting resources looking for her.
I agree, I mean it's bad enough that they make her annoying, but who in their right mind reads a map while driving down a secluded road? I can only hope that it adds to the suspense of the next episode, but overall I actually don't care enough about Lori to care about her ultimate fate.
