The death of Lizzy gave me flashbacks to Of Mice and Men.

Ha, yes! I was trying to remember the name of that book as I watched.

This season has been brutally bad for the most part, but I thought this episode was sort of interesting.

I lay claim to this thread.

Thems the rules

Who's Lizzy?
I had to watch 28 Days Later after watching last night's episode... Just to remind myself how well composed entertainment about zombies can be.
Also, what the fuck is up with the sound design on this show? I'll have to find the scene I'm thinking of and upload it because...holy hell... The way they turn down the volume on all the background ambiences as soon as someone starts to talk and then immediately turns them back up again when the person stops talking is absolutely terrible.

Does anyone remember Dead Set? What a great show.

It's one of the only series where you can actually afford to miss a few episodes. I caught the one where they killed the little girl but missed the previous two at least. Nothing.

Most people I hear talking about this show IRL describe it as the best show ever.

Humanity is more fucked than any zombie entertainment franchise understands.

See, Squee watches it to hate on it as well.

AND HE AINT EVEN AN AMERICAN FREEDOM RANGER!

Have not seen Dead Set, will be checken!

Haha, I watch it because I know how good the show can be (ie first episode, season one) and just like Lost, I'll keep watching it no matter how fucking terrible it is... Oooor... I dunno? Let's see how terrible the last episode is and we'll take it from there.

He did a poo in the bin and it stank

There's supposed to be a major death, AMC heads gave it a trepadatious go ahead. The curtain will close on Rick is my guess. The promo is Rick heavy & he's on Talking Dead after the finale. no more "CARL!", "KERL!", "KRRRRRLLLL!"

yeah i think rick is on the way out. 3 seasons seems enough for him. he has been sidelined recently so he could bow out. the talking dead announcement cemented it - although last time someone died and they were on talking dead, did they actually announce they would be on?

Not sure about all the deaths, but I think most were set to appear on the show when it correlates to their characters demise. Daryl's bro, Hershel etc.

I don't think Rick has appeared on talking dead to this point, which leads me to think he takes one to the dome. Don't particularly care, just wack somebody/ies at this point.

"they're screwing with the wrong people"

fucking what? lol, gg.

and around and around we go innit

have to admit that the ol' Rick goes for the jugular bit was pretty amusing

I thought the last sequence was gonna be like a trust exercise. If the next episode doesn't prove me right then oh my god fuck this show to death.

yepp. at least we get another season, right>?

The five minute dramatic pause before he actually delivered the line made it that much worse (better?).

Had quite the laugh at how stealthily Joe's group of misfit bandits snuck up on Rick & Michonne without making barely a noise.

i really thought krl was gonna get it
