Andrew Lincoln was on the David Letterman show this week. Am I the last person to find out that he’s British and very much sounds like it? ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I agree with all of this. I truly don’t understand why the show is so schizophrenic with the brilliant and the utterly stupid - is it different writers? Network interference? Some scenes written on Friday? Megadittoes to **SenorBeef** and I’ve wondered the exact same thing. I quit this show because in S1 each episode was thoroughly stupider than the one before, but I’m back somehow and now I’m just confused by the erratic goodness/extreme badness of it all. I wanted to put a brick through my TV when Lori decided she just _had_ to drive down unfamiliar roads to tell Rick to go get the vet-guy… which he was already doing. I pray to god she’s dead or thoroughly zombie chomped so someone can cap her proper. ---

Nope. I just watched the episode again and I rewatched that scene a couple of times to be sure. Glenn is in the background and out of focus in that scene, barely visible. If anything, it’s Rick who gives it away by glancing at Herschel when Dave asks about a farm. ---

> [@randwill](#): > > Andrew Lincoln was on the David Letterman show this week. Am I the last person to find out that he’s British and very much sounds like it? I knew, because back in the 1990s when i was living in Australia, the British drama [This Life](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115390/) played on Australian television. It was a BCC production about a group of young lawyers starting out in London, and was actually much less insufferable than it sounds. I quite enjoyed it. Lincoln played a disaffected lawyer who quits his job and opens a cafe instead. He was a far less tough and masculine persona than his “Walking Dead” character, evidenced by his rather dweeby nickname of “Egg.” ---

> [@coolbyrne](#): > > I thought it was to show how disconnected Andrea now is between the dead and the living, and in particularly the dead she cares about and the walkers. “We bury the ones we love, burn the rest.” While sensible, it was also pretty cold. And the way she picked up the arm and just heaved it onto the truck was like she was picking up garbage. She is now in complete survival mode (ie. our needs come first) and doesn’t even realize how disconnected she is to anyone or anything outside their circle. that’s a great scene. it is just so oddly mundane when it shouldn’t be. ---

And later, Shane implicitly confirmed Dale’s suspicion when they had their gun confrontation in the swamp.

> [@Nobody](#): > > I thought he said something like, “He did everything but tell me…” Something like that! 🙂 I’ve watched it twice now and I still can’t remember the exact line :smack: but he does say something about Shane heavily implying that he shot Otis and left him to the Walkers. Or Dale said it and Shane didn’t deny it… Maybe one day I’ll have the ability to watch TV and be online at the same time…? ---
