> [@Tangent](#): > > I wonder how they’ll deal with the fence. It’s been obvious for a while that they need to reinforce the perimeter somehow. I also wonder if that large zombie herd Daryl’s group ran into a few episodes ago will be showing up again soon. Oh, thank goodness they had a giant bucket of guns and ammo on hand just in case both fences were breeched! I mean since those prison fences appear to be about as strong as a chicken wire garden enclosure. Although it makes me sad that my dad and I will probably never get to bond over machine-gunning a hundred zombies. > [@MacTech](#): > > They need to take a bold step and purge the idiots from the show, get rid of Rick, crazy girl (the one naming the walkers) drunkie pre-med guy, and unless Tyrese grows a spine and mans up and stops whining, Tyrese as well, they all need to be Zombie Chow So basically the Daryl show. ---

Did they ever reveal who was feeding the Zombies rats to keep them weakening the fence? It seemed at the time it was someone who was trying to sabotage from within. ---

> [@Quimby](#): > > Did they ever reveal who was feeding the Zombies rats to keep them weakening the fence? It seemed at the time it was someone who was trying to sabotage from within. We don’t know yet who was doing that, or why. There was some speculation it might be the girl, Lizzie, who was naming the zombies, but no solid evidence has pointed to anyone. > [@Folacin](#): > > You leave crazy girl alone - I think she’s getting better. Her luring the upper level zombie along the walkway was quite brave and pretty smart (tripping was unfortunate). I like her, too. And for anyone who thinks she’s crazy because she was naming the walkers, don’t forget that Hershel and his group at the farm were keeping a whole barn full of walkers and feeding them live chickens. ---

The only moment I liked was during the shooting gallery scene when Rick glanced over at Carl and realized “Holy shit, Carl’s better at this than I am!” The rest of it was just one bit of dumbassery after another. ---

> [@simster](#): > > +1 - I knew he was ‘coming back’ - I kept looking for him in the crowd of zombies that busted thru, as that was the only re-appearance I would have found satisfying. For a moment I was afraid an undead _Carol_ would show up in the crowd. ---

I love how they wait until the crowd of zombies breached both fence lines before they simply killed them all. With guns and ammo they had all along. Priceless. ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > Granted that they should have reinforced the fence earlier, using the logs as quick fix strikes me as not-stupid. Not sure where they came from, though . . . The logs came from the dismantled pig pens–we see Rick taking them apart in the episode. The guns outside was incredibly dumb, but I kind of get why ‘shooting gallery’ is a last resort for them. Ammo and guns are precious and noisy. It still doesn’t forgive why they never bothered to find a better way to thinning the fence zombies out. ---

> [@Quimby](#): > > Loved this episode. Very tense.

The episode was pretty exciting. I was a bit worried about Glenn. He looked like he was just about to expire! Pretty intense scene! ---

Heck, every time they go out, they should be picking up more vehicles. Just park a line of cars along the outer fence to brace it. These people is dumb. ---

Hasn’t (or shouldn’t) the “protect the children” thing pretty much run its course by now? Hershel hesitates to put a zombie down because the kids are watching? Get over it, old man. The kids will. ---

I though Herschel was taking the dead sick people off to the back room to gack them because it would be too upsetting for the other sick people to see their soon-to-be future. There sure was a lot of stupid in the quarantined area of the jail, though. They even mentioned everyone closing their cell doors, and people were still turning and infecting other people. Gah. ---
