If I was there I would have cleared the outer courtyard by stabbing them through the fence, saving ammo. I would do the same to the inner courtyard, make a lot of noise until they come to the fence then stab them, if needed, send the Asian kid in to run around screaming getting any stays to follow him back to the fence. Once secure grab all the bodies and take them out of the compound and away from where they might pollute the river or ground.

Once everyone is rested and settled a bit, secure one area inside the prison where they can lock themselves in for safety. Then proceed to throw open doors yelling and banging and seeing if anything comes to you, slowly clearing areas one at a time.

Hell if they were really ambitious they could have gotten the walkers from the inner area of the prison to follow a person acting as bait and trap them between the inner and outer fence as a sort of extra guard. That way if any other living people come by they see the walkers and carry on thinking the place is infested.

The prison is an ideal base of operations, they can plant food, store goods, place watches in the towers, maybe even take a few people in to help with the place.

 

Was anyone else really put off by the guns? There was no recoil, the slides didn't move on the pistols, and there were no spent shells at all. All I could do during the action-y scenes was stare at them and go "That's not how guns work dammit!" Completely took me out of it, which is a shame because the prison arc is badass. If they keep up the derpy pew-pew they had this episode for the rest of the season, it'll suck.

Edit: Just looked at some season 2 episodes; they actually shoot blanks then. I thought maybe this was just the first time I noticed, but they did change it. LAME.

 

Pretty much. And If you get tired...retreat to your cell block and lock it and come back tommorrow. You have all the time in the world. Well, you would if you weren't burdened by an idiot whose only ambition in life is to be as big a problem as possible, to the point that she's splitting into two problems like some malevolent bacterium.

 

Well.

"Shit happens."

:awesome

 

So glad we didn't have to put up with that guy for more than 1 episode.

 

First time I watched this on TV at a friends place and god damn, the douchebag that does "Talking Dead" is the most obnoxious person I've seen in a while, and I live in New Jersey so that's saying something.

The ads for his show bothered me throughout but it hit a tipping point where there was this really intense scene and then they cut to commercial and bam, the cunt yells "DID YOU SEE HOW THEY CUT OFF HERSHEL'S FOOT" or some rubbish with that stupid ass grin on his face.

This bothered me way more than it should, but god damn, that guy should be removed from television.

 

When you can think of two dozen obvious solutions to the protagonist's problems - solutions the show doesn't even address or consider - it's pretty hard to stay interested.

 

Actually they used both in Season 2. If you watch closely during the big gunfights, any time there's more than one shooter in the frame, the closest and most obvious person is shooting real blanks, but the one(s) behind him/her are doing that CG pew-pew nonsense. I actually hadn't noticed that this season though, which is odd, considering my gun-fondling proclivities. I guess I was paying more attention to the zombies getting ganked instead.

Rick isn't fucking around this season. It's nice to see him resolve a dispute like a (post-apocalyptic) man for a change. Here's to hoping that more "shit happens" happens this season.

 

Best thing I loved about last night's episode was the lead-up to Rick taking a machete to the guy's face. It was obvious they were gonna butt heads. The guy was too aggressive and proved himself a danger. It was hilarious how the prisoners fought the zombies at first. Prison fighting with shivs is not gonna cut it. Loved the looks on Darryl, Rick and T's faces.

"Fuckin' newbies."

But what made it for me was right after the prisoner failed to kill Rick with the Walker and they were eyeing each other. I saw a real 'who's going to strike first' feel.

 

Yeah, Rick actually feels dangerous this season. When Shane was around, I never really felt like Rick should be able to kick his ass in a straight up fight, but now it's like "oh shit, get out of the way!"

 

Rick is slowly becoming the man in the comics and not some stupid pussy who worries about what's going to happen. This makes me happy.

The show-writers stupidity regarding certain events however, does not.

 

Just saw the second episode, I'm interested to see where this is going and how well the final two criminals are going to integrate into the group.

 

Right now those prisoners are in a seperate cell block. Plus tonight's episode follows Andrea and Michonne meeting the Governor.

The thing that confused me about last weeks episode was did the other 2 prisoners know that the 2 prisoners that died were trying to make a run at Rick? It wasn't completely clear to me on that. But Rick locking the prisoner in the yard full of Walkers was coldblooded. And by that I mean awesome.

I hate Chris Hardwick. He's goddamn annoying. If he ever comes back as a Walker, I think I would leave him that way.

Sooo...

Just saw the episode.

The Governor knows how to run a game on the ignorant proles.

And he is creepy as fuck.

 

I was concerned when I saw the casting for the Governor (possessing a completely different look than the character in the comics), but after tonight...my fears have been laid to rest.

 

Yeah, Shane had a few pounds of both crazy and muscle on him, it never made sense.

I like that Rick is more dangerous and it isn't because he's suddenly Superman. He's just more cold-blooded and methodical.

 

hahaha, I do not understand why he's keeping those heads locked up in fish tanks.
Dude's real Crazy.

Also, my family agrees that there is probably something up with that tea. It feels like they mentioned it too many times for it to have no real significance.

 

He's also a hell of a lot smarter than Shane too honestly. He's actually a ridiculously smart guy in the comic (when he's not being a pussy), I'm glad he's starting to bring it out here.

 

Maybe the tea is made of the concoction of zombi heads, giving some unique qualities?

 

Why is it always the creepy nutbags that are good at organizing people?

Wait- isn't this the politics thread? Sorry- continue as you were.

 

Tonight's episode was actually sad. Got me right here.
