Right off the bat, Carl is annoying as hell. And really, in a zombie world, his parents aren't up his ass, knowing where he is at all times? C'mon, he's just fucking shit up too much. I don't mind losing Dale, he may have been a voice of reason but no one was trying to hear him. I knew something was up when they had him going on this emotional rant. Not saying I knew they were gonna kill him off but something seemed odd to me with Dale getting so much face time.

I think that their prisoner will escape and that it ties into next season nicely. Hell even if the dude doesn't escape, I think next season will have the group come into contact with this band of 30 murdering rapists.

@ryan, I don't usually watch Talking Dead until Monday night (tonight) so don't spoil anything for me. That's hilarious about T-Dog too. I forgot all about his ass until they showed him tonight.

I imagine it varies depending on what exactly made the zombies become zombies. 

I can't believe Dale died like that!!!

but that also brings up a questions...zombies are suppose to be these decaying beings...how in the world did one manage to rip someones(in this case Dale's) stomach open?

Few things that are killing me right now.

1) Why the F is Carl walking around so much? What kind of parents would live in a world like that and not have that kid tied to one of their hips.

2) I think very soon we HAVE to start seeing some zombies dying off as their bodies have to be still decomposing and eventually shit just has to stop working.

3) Good bye Dale... meh.

4) I would have shot that kid on the fence. Rick's sense of morality in this new world at this time, is not right. When zombies are past (as greater majority has to die off within a year), then civilization can restart with appropriate communities again.

5) Did anyone else think 'OMG Zombie cow!!!' and get all excited that the virus has jumped species?

6) Also, why was the zombie not still eating when Dale walked up? Seems like a disconuity in the way they've presented zombies up till now.

My wife was complaining to me about that too.I don't have a real problem with this unexplained super strong zombie who couldn't get out of 8" of mud but was able to rip Dale's stomach open, but I can see how some would.

I meant to reply to this gripe earlier. I've gotten so used to using at least a 20 minute buffer when watching tv shows that I record on the dvr that I'd recommend trying it yourself. What you gain by circumventing the bullshit commercials is well worth the adjustment.

FUCK. I watch this in the UK so I'm episode behind. First thing I saw on this thread was "I can't believe Dale died".

Yeah sorry about that guys. This thread has been going since the season began and I don't think it's been an issue until now. Can I edit the title? If not then just assume that whenever you see this thread active, usually Sunday night into Monday, that it's the U.S. audience discussing the most recent episode and that there will be spoilers.

Ok, I edited the title and was going to edit the OP but I did include a spoiler alert when I started the thread back in October. I'm sorry none the less for not initially including it in the title.

So when you clicked on it, it didn't take you to the very first post?

I see, so you've been here before. I guess you were lucky in the past to not have anything ruined for you.
