Scarol is fucking awesome in every imaginable way, very much including her haircut, which is gorgeous. > [@John\_Mace](#): > > Loving Yvette in _Talking Dead_. Her observations are so on target, it’s almost like she’s getting crib notes from the writers. it’s a little freaky, really. > [@](#): > > Yes, Rick is one step away from calling Lori on the phone again! And the actor who plays Carl is scary articulate for a teenager. At his age, I’d be a bumbling idiot. Seriously? Seemed to me the only adjective in his vocabulary is “cool”. > [@John\_Mace](#): > > Hard to believe that Carl, worldly wise as he is, would hide in a tree from Walkers. If they storm the tree, there is no exit. Very, very stupid and totally not believable. Exactly my thought! ---

For a while it seemed like the show was expecting us to side with Rick even though he was clearly deranged. It was only when Michonne cold-cocked him did I realize for sure whose side the show was on. I really hope all these Wolf and Morgan references pay off in some way next week. I realize the W’s are a set up for next season but we better see that set up in full next week. ---

Rick is both right and wrong, he is right about the external threat but damn that isn’t how you go about it. How come they don’t take some cheap body cams out on runs? ---

cookie kid Sam is physically clinging to Scarol. Her being scary made him think that she’s suitable protector I think. Maybe Carol will Pete and no one will blink an eye. ---

Why don’t they build some sort of efficient zombie-killing mechanism, like Woodbury did? Why don’t they have 24/7 camera coverage on the exterior walls? Why don’t they have any chocolate? Because the showrunners aren’t interested in creating a very realistic series.
