    Weird is ok around here.

    I also want to point out how envious I am of Glenn right now.

    Yeah, Sasha's gullibility there was infuriating. The most charitable interpretation is that she's still emotionally screwed up from losing Bob and it's Rick's fault for leaving her on guard duty alone. So the cop says his buddy has been lying there for two years? Well, he can lie there for one more day. After the swap has been made the cop can go take care of it. NOT a priority right now.

    Yes, that did feel a little weak didn't it... If she'd just asked for someone to go with her? And turning your back on someone while you're facing a window?

    The episode was OK but felt a bit like a filler. Especially with the car park of metled zombies. Felt like they realised it was a bit of a slow episode so decided to sex it up a bit with that scene.

    Some of it may have stemmed from her not having taken care of Bob 1. Tyrese helped her out, so she now feels that need to serve that role for someone else. There really is no room for empathy in the zombie apocalypse.

    Fair point!

    At this stage of the apocalypse I would completely hesitate to trust anyone wearing a police uniform. Especially shined and polished brass etc. They are far enough into this world that they should be completely suspicious of that alone. There is no constitution backing that badge anymore. This is the wild west with walkers. The first thing I would ditch after the initial outbreak would be my police uniform. It isn't sellable anymore. The military would be a different story if they are still disciplined and armed heavy. But as 28 days later taught us, as soon as corruption enters the equation, or the slightest breakdown in rank, its over.

    Anybody enjoy seeing them looting dead walkers on the road? It was a double buzz for me, as it shows that they really are low on everything, and anything that can be scavenged will/should be, and it also has that "resident evil/game" vibe to it.

    Although yoyo's probably aren't high on my own personal list of PA essentials.

    Yeah, I dug that. Quite often you see walker kills but little in the way of looting, although most of the walkers we see just have the fetid rags on them and little else ... although I do recall in 3x12 Rick pulled the car over to pick up that back pack from the hitchhiker who was munched by walkers. I believe that was the same back pack Rick used in this episode.

    Clever bugger, yes, that would have been a good idea!

    Hmm, this one was good enough, but did seem a bit 'in-fill' to me too.
    The KO on Sasha was the weakest part of writing I thought.
    Lets not forget 'Crazy Gabe' too ... not only has he run off to god knows where (Next wheres Carl?)
    He also had his own magically appearing walker moment and Also...
    He's left a dirty great walker sized hole in the church floor that no-one knows about yet!!!

    And ... Were Glenn & Rosita flirting??? tsk tsk Maggie won't be pleased

    I'm 100% certain that Glenn never even had a sniff of a nasty rank battered old slapper before the ZA, now he's revelling in the outright poon-fest that is TWD.

    And hey, who can blame him, seems that walkers were drawn to the ugly fat gnarly chicks and left all the hot ones to survive, Glenn is just taking advantage of the situation.

    I didn't trust that cop for a minute. I mean, it wasn't that long ago he was saying, "Hail Hydra!"
