Walking Dead S4 - US Pace...

[Tallaween]

Anyone else seen it yet?

Want to come and drool over Detective Pookie with me?

And moan about the fact they seem to have forgotten that Hershel was a vet, poor Violet. We hardly knew ye

[SantiagoToots]

Because he's an ex policeman, he's all "green cross code" and all that. He probably still files his taxes. I noticed he was the only one wearing a seatbelt.

[aliciaflorrick]

How dare he banish my favourite character - Rick is sometimes such a twat.

[ZacharyQuack]

Dammit, Carol was FINALLY getting a storyline and now she's gone. All through the episode I was thinking something was going to happen to her because she had more dialogue than in all the rest of the series put together.

Knew the couple in the bathroom with the apricots were goners too, how the hell had they managed to survive for so long? Shut up in a bathroom for two days scared of a single zombie. All they needed to do was push it down the stairs.

I thought Rick kept checking the rear view mirror because he was either checking that Carol wasn't following, or hoping that she was.

[Tallaween]

I did think it was amusing that Bob was all morose about basically being a jinx and killing off other groups of survivors when meeting Rick in this world basically ensures you a gruesome and untimely demise.

See:
Duane
The Vatos + the old folks
Amy
Jackie (and that other bloke from the original camp)
Ed
Dr Jenner
Patricia & farm boy
Sophia
Otis
Shane
Lori
The two rapey blokes in the bar
Dale
Randall
All of the surviving prisoners
T-Dog
Most of Woodbury
Andrea
Merle
Karen & David
Mouldy Irish Lady
Hitchiker
Fruit picking hippies

... maybe Carol...

The only people I can think of who died without meeting Rick are Milton and Karens son who got shot by Carl.

They should really be dumping him by the roadside...

[limitedperiodonly]

So Rick is the video in The Ring in human form?

[laraeo]

I'm right there with you, Zachary. Carol never talked that much so something was bound to happen.

My guess is she meets up with Daryl's car on good ol' Rt.100 and all manner of hell breaks out - either with Tyrese or when they get back to the prison.

I think we're going to have to wait for part 2 of the season to see it resolved. I hope.

[CheerfulYank]

At least we know she's still filming, so she's not totally GONE gone.

I wonder, had Rick not met moly Irish woman (who said "some things you can't come back from"), would he have given Carol another chance?

I think he was checking his rear view because he's conflicted about his decision and was wondering if she was following him. I also think he didn't know what he was going to do when he left the prison and if she'd shown more compassion for the two survivors they found, he'd have let her come back.

I'm pissed that he didn't let her have Lizzie and Mika tbh. Their father wanted them to be with Carol.

Rick has form for acting off his own bat and also being very black and white - though annoyingly I can't remember any examples atm.

Tallaween might be able to help. I'm impressed by her memory and I'm the sort of saddo who watches episodes twice before deleting.

[limitedperiodonly]

Also, there was no logical reason why the fruit-picking hippy girl's leg would have been torn off except for you to see THE TATTOO which was also shown IN A SIGNIFICANT MOMENT so YOU KNEW IT WAS HER, but I'll let that go...

[CheerfulYank]

Agree Limited. Like when Tyreese was shown touching Karen's bracelet it was instantly clear that she was going to die that day.

[limitedperiodonly]

Really CY? I didn't notice the bracelet-touching. But I have that episode saved for reference...

[ZacharyQuack]

Oh yes, limited when Rick gave that guy his watch I thought "we're going to see a dismembered arm/corpse/zombie wearing that watch".

Last week when Daryl's group drove off in that car, I knew they'd have car trouble because they weren't in the Hyundai zombie-mobile!

So I wonder what explanation Rick's going to give the people at the prison for Carol being missing? If he says she died, Tyreese will still be looking for Karen's killer. If he tells the truth, he'll get Tyreese off his back, but then he'll have to deal with Daryl.

It seems like Lizzy is the one feeding rats to the zombies, based on her conversation with Carol at the start of the episode.

[ToffeeWhirl]

Poor Carol .

[CheerfulYank]

I think he'll say she died but Daryl will know she didn't because he'll see her watch.

Melissa McBride just followed my on twitter. Pretty sure we're basically best friends now, so I'll ask her to clear this up the next time she's over for coffee.

[anonacfr]

He might have been wearing his seatbelt but he was definitely speeding...

I suddenly had a thought that Carol might drive into (not literally) the others coming back from their medicine run.

[Monroe]

Rick and his giant forehead
I was really enjoying this episode. And thinking how much I like carol. Then bloody officer friendly comes over all righteous and effectively banishes her
I thought he would have at least took her back and told everyone and took a vote or something.
He seems to stay between thinking he is the leader of the new world to farmer Giles, no middle ground

[WannaBeANinja]

I cant believe what I've just seen! Poor carol.
I agree with what she done but I also slightly agree with what Rick said about what if it was his kids etc.

Daryl isn't gonna be happy.

the alkie man must die soon also. I think he's rather pointless but understand they need to 'bulk' out the suvivkrs.
When I seen Rick looking un rearview mirrory first though was 'he's seeing if carol Is behind him'

[CheerfulYank]

I hate how Rick is all "I'm done making decisions for everyone" well obviously you bloody aren't!

Daryl better react in a BIG way tonight or he is not my Top Pretend Boyfriend anymore.

And Michonne better step off. I think she's just teasing but...she better step off Carol's man!

[laraeo]

Any one else watching it "live"?

[laraeo]

It sucks to be Herschl.

[laraeo]

Shit shit shit.

[laraeo]

Ok. I don't want to post any spoilers but I was a bit eh at the end.

[SantiagoToots]

Oh, bad management, Rick needs to step up and talk to Daryl instead of eating fucking peas with the Lone Ranger.

I haven't been queasy the entire 4 series until "disturbed child" started shuffling the goo with her shoe.

[SantiagoToots]

Does anyone have any theories on Glen's back story? Was reading a forum last week and they're not buying his pizza delivery shtick.
