But she learned a valuable lesson: after all that wasted life, make sure you turn down help when it actually does arrive. Ofelia and the guy she crawled into the air shaft with made it out, too. Because… Ofelia. This was an absolutely terrible episode. Kill everyone (pretty much) except Madison’s family and Daniel’s daughter. Then have Alicia decide she needs to “go find herself” by living alone in the ZA. There just isn’t any character here I care about anymore. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > There just isn’t any character here I care about anymore. I agree. We watched two recorded episodes this week end, and are still behind by one. ---

Just saw last night’s episode tonight, first time this half of the season when I’ve managed to catch up so soon. Turns out this was one of the most eventful episodes so far, although rather disjointed, confusing and frustrating. Ofelia and Indian Tough Guy #2 ride on the most impractical place on the water truck on their way to Barter Town, Ofelia falls off because of course she does, and Indian Tough Guy #2 somehow manages to get the truck to stop by way of psychic powers, and we learn that Ofelia has been bitten in a place where…how the heck do you manage to bite there when there are so many easier parts of the body to bite? I thought they were going to go straight to the dam, rather than hanging out in Barter Town waiting for Ofelia to die. Well, at least Nick found drugs. And what the hell, a psychedelic brain stem? Well at least he had Psycho Troy to ride out the trip with him. And of course Alicia, as promised at the end of the previous episode, because being a lone scavenger is far preferable to being among friends and family. Along the way we get treated to Baby Zombie In The Balls, because of course there was going to be a baby zombie in the balls, and along the way we get introduced to Pickaxe Michonne. Meanwhile, Strand pokes around where he shouldn’t, gets himself in trouble, because of course he does, and tells the goons he wants to see Number One Gangster Guy. Then, next thing we see, he’s merrily heading off with Maddie and Daniel to Dam HQ…did I miss something? Well, if nothing else, the remaining episodes may be nice and weird. Quite frankly, if this show were only about Strand getting himself in and out of trouble, it would be much more entertaining. At least Nick and Psycho Troy continuing on their extended bender should provide some laughs. ---

I wondered too, about all the peeps from the ranch. Are we supposed to buy that they all died. There were alot of people on that ranch. Too unbelievable. Oh well ‘The Walking Dead’ starts in 2. Yay!! ---

> [@Dahnlor](#): > > …we get introduced to Pickaxe Michonne… Yeah, that one was just way too obvious to ignore. ---

So Madison’s the only confirmed survivor. I’ll be really disappointed if Nick survived too. Also WTF is up with using _zombie_ brainstems as drugs? :dubious: Was that new information, or did I miss the part in last week’s episode that said they were using zombie brainstems? ---

Nick and his new BFF were tripping out on Zombie brainstems in last week’s episode. ---

I know, but I missed the part about those being zombie brainstems; I thought they were harvested from live humans, not zombies. ---

But we are to have a crossover, which will be highly entertaining I think, I hope. Cannot wait!! ---

Hey, I missed part of last night’s episode. What happened to “pickaxe Michonne”? ---

I was hoping they would all die, and that would be the end of the series. 🙂 I liked the part where Procter John has major spinal surgery in the morning, and then is raiding the damn in the afternoon. Skinny guys heal fast! ---

Skinny guys heal fast! Dam! He’s a fast healer. I liked when Chris Hardwick asks the audience who you hope survives, and I couldn’t really think of anyone.
