The Sophia is still missing, Carl’s got his surgery, Shane killed Otis, most of the gang’s still at the farm, and nobody knows what really happed to Otis. Also Dale is still stuck with Andrea & Carol.

At the first commercial break for AMC’s Hell On Wheels, they showed another sneak preview of next week’s The Walking Dead, and Daryl takes a spill off of a horse spooked by a snake, rolls down a hill into a river, and is either cut or stabbed by something (one of his crossbow bolts?).
I’m guessing Merle is going to be a shock/blood loss/fever induced hallucination of Daryl.
Yea, when I saw that extended preview, that’s what came to mind. Especially since the content of Merle’s statement was something like “doesn’t look yew gonna survive, there” or something similar.
Pretty boring this week. Rick has his pistol back, yet Shane said he and Otis were down to pistols when Otis dropped back to cover him. Doesn’t look like anyone is putting two and two together though.
Using Glen as bait was a hilariously dumb idea, but I don’t see how the support broke with all that slack in the rope. They had 5 people pulling on the rope and it was still flapping in the breeze.
Did Daryl just tell Sophia’s mom that sad story and walk away without telling her what he found?
Another navel-gazing snoozefest, and to make matters worse, I’m starting to not care about the survivors, well, aside from Dale, Daryl, Glenn, and Molly Ringwald…err…
Everyone else can be Purina Zombie Chow for all I care
As soon as I saw the Well Walker, I knew that well was lost, even if they got WW out intact, the fact remains that water from a well containing a corpse (ambulatory or otherwise) is NOT something you want to drink from, there would have been no downside to simply shooting the WW and closing off the well, the well was unusable anyway
too much soap-opera-esque interpersonal crap again, combine that with fundamentally unlikable characters and the end result is boredom
I really hope they end this stupid “soap opera of the Undead” and get back to some good ol’ zombie-stompin’
Dont care if Carl lives or dies, don’t care about Sophia, I’ve already written her off anyway
I lost interest in Sophia last week. And in my opinion each episode gets worse. I loved the opening episode, liked the second episode, was meh on the third one, and was meh, leaning towards not liking this episode.
And I almost thought that the well walker would turn out to be Otis, but then I remembered that if Otis became a walker would have had big chunks missing from him seeing as how all those walkers chowed down on him.
Oh it really was a very special episode of Touched by a Zombie! Delightful.
Kill everyone but Daryl off and name this show The Walking Daryl. Then have Daryl walk around in the woods for an hour each week crossbowing and bludgeoning zombies to death. That would stay fresh and exciting for longer than the current plot line.
Then make Sophia’s mom the last survivor other than Daryl so they can have her slip and fall into a pit full of bears. Don’t ask me why there’s a pit full of bears, I’m not a scriptwriter.
I will praise the film crew for making that one of the spookiest shots of an abandoned farmhouse I’ve ever seen! I could never gather the stones to search out a creepy place like that.
Actually, I wouldn’t be able to gather the courage to walk through the woods in a sleeveless shirt. I would be a very poor choice for search and rescue.
I guess finding Sophia is the season-long arc, not “Road to Fort Benning”.
It’s about time for everything to go to hell in such a way that everyone is running for their lives, and not just one or two characters at a time. One thing I think the comic did well was create the feeling that humanity had been knocked down to the middle of the food chain somewhere. The danger of being attacked was ever present. If you are on the move, there are hidden zombies to stumble on. If you try to settle down, a herd could wander through your camp. I know in story time, it has only been a couple days, but it is starting to feel like everything is safer than it should be. There needs be a big shake up before this drags on even slower.
Am I right in estimating that this episode covered 12, maybe 14 hours? I’m afraid that the cliffhanger for next week’s episode will be that everyone stops searching for Sophia so they can break for lunch.
I thought this one was a bit better than the last couple actually. That said, Sophia needs to be found, regardless of her state and everything needs to go to hell again. I want some action dammit! They could have condensed the last three episodes into one. I hate filler.
He found the freshly opened can of sardines in the trash at the farmhouse, and a little pillow/blanket nest inside the pantry. The implication being that Sophia had been staying there, and recently.
I thought it was mega-weird that he didn’t tell anyone either.
He probably should have left a note-“Sophia, we’re lookin’ for ya, stay put. If you’re not her, never mind.”
Also, does Darryl really just have one arrow left? He must have been really, really interested to hear whatever forgettable crap Andrea had to say to throw one away on that hanging zombie.
Bearing in mind that this group is not known for good judgement, it still makes no sense that Lori leaves the house, which has at least one working bathroom with a door, to run a pee test out in the open.
I am one episode away from deciding that the slow as whaleshit pacing is not due to incompetent writing, but is in fact a deliberate rip off to make a whole season out of 3 ideas and a bunch of talking.
