Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Walking Dead Liveblog


OK, Herschel has a barn full of Walkers.  Daryl and Shane are on the verge of cracking up violently.  Lori's preggers.  Let's see what happens tonight.

In the novels, Carl goes dark about this time.  I'm guessing he will in the series, too.

So... we're feeding the Barn Walkers chickens?  If memory serves, Herschel's people have kin in the barn.  Kin who love free range chickens, I guess.

I love that Glenn has to be the keeper of all the lies, and that he's surrounded by cops.

The kid who plays Carl is a pretty good actor.

Nice scene between Dale and Herschel.  Too good, veteran character actors playing subtle where others would have gone big.

***

I would imagine that the sort of scene between Shane and Andrea would happen a lot between people thrown together.

Dale rocks.

Wow, tough scene with Lori.

WTF is Jimmy Buffet doing on Hawaii Five-0?

Nice, Glenn.  The IKEA kill followed by some Gurkha coup de grace.

Ouch, abortion pills.

Glenn.  Playa.  But will Maggie turn him into something else?

Nice corpse shot.  Got our gross-out moment of the day.

Well, that's learning by doing...

OK, how is this going to end?  A lot of secrets bouncing around.

Glenn, again, being the man.

Andrea, apparently, being the woman.

Lori, admittedly, being a bit nuts.

Dale, obviously, being jealous.  (And perceptive.)

Dale clearly overplayed his hand there.  But then, I think Shane may have, too.

And we have the inevitable awkward discovery by Rick.  This should test his saintliness.

How do you rebuild the world when there's no hope?  Do you even try?

Wow.  At some point, Rick is going to explode.  That's going to be some explosion.  You can only carry around so much weight.  He's carrying tons.

Great episode, but it needed more Daryl.

Wait... Midseason finale?  What the hell does THAT mean?
