Farmland is obviously a lot safer than the cities. They just straight up bombed Atlanta it was so bad.

I guess when the Zombie games begin I'll have to change my name from Frazzled to SpaZ Emprah of Liberty Hill!

I already plan on changing mine to Fitzzo the Clown Commissar of Canal Street...before my minions gun/beat down walkers they will be required to pelt them with pies and spritz them with seltzer bottles while ridding by on unicycles or in very small cars....hell, it's the apocalypse ...might as well have some chuckles.

Oddly they could do that right now all things considered...

I imagine when the apocalypse comes, Fitzz will become something akin to Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal...

y'know...riding around in an armored clown ice cream truck and what not...

And mind you I didn't expect that at the beginning of the episode. Flashback cool!!!

I have to admit...I looked out of my window and giggled a bit.

**KamikazeCanuck**

I was wondering if you'd be pro-firebombing Atlanta Fitzz. You're ready to do it today!

..Man, I've got really mixed feelings about that...There's a lot I like about Atlanta, some really cool people...some good restaurants , clubs...music...but...on the other hand...there's a lot about it that I'd happily see napalmed.

We could set up a grid, you know, try and preserve the good parts.

...Maybe...

In the situation occurring in TWD...I'd be the first person to advocate burning Atlanta to the ground...I live 5 minutes from downtown and that's just to close to were loads of zombies would be...fry it and I have more time to head West..

**FITZZ**

Quite enjoyed last nights episode, lot's of issues seem to be coming to a head and it should be interesting to see how things play out.
Expecting some major character confrontations soon.

**Lint**

I'm getting really frustrated with the pace of this show. There doesn't seem to be any of the intensity from the first season, and I have no invested emotion in ANY of the characters...
What kind of Zompocalypse™ doesn't have Zombies?

**Hulksmash**

Last night's episode had zombies. Honestly for the first time last night I actually felt a little bit of energy out of the show. The "Coversation" between Rick and his lady finally happened which means at least some of the ridiculous angst can fade. Oh, and Shane and Dale's conversation had me chuckling like crazy.

**KamikazeCanuck**

Dale has observation super-powers. He definately didn't play that Shane situation right. He was on a bit of a roll there with Glenn, Lori and Hershel but dropped the ball on the most important one.

Yeah, Shane definitely shut Dale down for the moment...made me laugh a bit as well, Dale's usual " angle's" aren't going to work with a guy like Shane.

There's zombies...two encounters in last nights show alone, three if you count the ones in the barn...but the show is also about the human element and the dynamics of how the group interacts with one another and the situations they're in...
If I just wanted to watch zombies getting shot...I guess I'd go play a video game of something.

**Hulksmash**

To be fair to Dale Shane just bopped his.....daughter?....crush?...something. And it wouldn't have been hard to tell from their action and looks. That could throw anyone off their game.

True...and I think Dale is definitely more interested in Andrea in a " non daughterly" way.

...So yeah, seeing that Shane got what he wants probably did through him off a bit.

Ayah the one that could put him in a ditch.

Oh definitely...Shane would obviously have no qualms about bumping Dale off...like I said I expect lots of character confrontation in the near future.

Don't get me wrong, I love the human element. I just feel like there was a better balance in S1. I don't particularly want to just watch zombies getting shot, in fact I found last nights scene with Shane and Blondie a boring cameo for the undead. Yes I get that it was more about Blondie and Shane, but they keep forgetting about "Zack."

I crave the running, hiding, sweating bullets intensity - which you'd think there'd be more of in a show about the Zompocalypse.

Sidenote: My gf and I have taken to calling Dale "Dr. Phil" now. What a tool.

**Frazzled**

I've had enough of the old man. Time to reinstute some time honored traditions.

Rick/Shane. WE want to stay.
Old guy. no
Rick/Shane, pulling out guns. We insist.
Old guy. I find your argument quite convincing, now that I think about it.

...The title fits his personality to an extent though, seems he's always popping up with some " advice", best retort ( besides Shane's last night) was when Daryl told him to "Shut up and Take his hat back to on Golden Pond"...

I think old Dale needs to start worrying about his own skin and worrying less about being in everyones business.

....As for the Running, hiding ,sweating bullets...I would speculate that they'll be more to come.

...Won't surprise me if something along those lines does happen...in fact I would hazard to say that if Shane was in charge then the old guy ( Hershel) would already have been read the riot act ( at the very least)...
Rick is just to caught up in doing what's " right" and not what's in they're best interest.

**Manstein**

I know that this has been brought up before, but the continuing problem with Sophia is really starting to become a major distraction. I came along and started watching right at the end of season 1 and fell in love with the show. Since then I have been following the show and I have been loving it all the way.... with the exception of this subplot. With the season finale coming up soon, it feels like the Sophia sub-plot has almost totally consumed the show and virtually become the center piece of the season. Although the last episode was more concentrated around what was going on at the farm, the fact is that saving Sophia is still the "driving force" of the group.

Dale is such a pathetic white knight. The old fart needs to die.

"Oh Andrea, it's okay that you almost killed the most able-bodied person in our group"

Stuff like that is annoying as hell.

Btw, here is a major spoiler for next episode, just saiyan. You have been warned. If you want to reply to this, please do so in spoiler format.

Oh yeah what's with the whole "Mid-Season" finale? Sounds like a contrived effort to drum up DVD sales...

Maybe...or it could have something to do with the whole off season balls up with the writers and Darabont.

@ Manstein...I really think the " we have to find Sophia" story line is more or less plot device to keep the group stationary for a bit while other developments occur.

I can see and understand that, as right now seems to be the part of the series where a lot of inter-character relation building (or tearing apart) takes place. My only concern is that they won't balance it all out soon enough.

Guess we'll have to wait and find out.
Given the budget cuts and internal problems that the show had to deal with I believe they've done a pretty good job keeping things interesting.

Be warned, my spoiler also contains references to the comics and may contain general spoilers of the show's direction (or not, depending on the writing as they've already demonstrated). You have been warned.

well looks like Shane gets to the barn. Evidently the zombies including the little girl get out. Sounds like mayhem time. Most of the farm's occupants will get wacked as we've barely seen them. I wonder if the girl will go with the crew.
