I do not like those two little sisters. I get the feeling they are up to no good (especially the smaller one) it is definitely them who feed the walkers

Agreed

POSSIBLE COMIC SPOILERS *Highlight to read*

I'm not caught up with the comics but weren't there two brothers and one kills the other then Carl ends up killing him. I think the 2 sisters might be the TV show's version of them

It's the older one. There's a scene where the two of them are at the fence with Carol. Carol calls the older one "weak" for not being able to use the knife on her infected dad. After big sis walks away, little sis tells Carol that her big sis isn't weak. But that she's basically not right in the head.

I agree. I figured he was planning on taking the pigs and getting the walkers attention and then just let the pigs go. Those pigs running through the woods would have kept the walkers busy for hours if not longer. Why kill them and let them eat them right next to the fence. No common sense with these guys.

Someone had been feeding live rats to the walkers. So, they associated that portion of the fence-line with food. That's why so many of them were concentrated in that one spot. Rick realized that unless he gave them something better to eat, and far from that portion of the fence, they'd just head back over to that same spot again; expecting to get fed. So, the piglets had to be sacrificed.
 
They were also talking about getting rid of the pigs before that as well in case they were spreading the sickness.
 
I do not like the ex army medic. Not sure what it is but something about him makes me think he may be part of the problems. Also ready for Tyrese to snap into the tough guy that i think he is meant to be. Now that somebody killed his girlfriend maybe he will become more useful.

I understand all of that but letting them eat the pigs that close to the fence is ridiculous. Once they are done with the pigs they will just wander back to the fence. All they needed to do was let the pigs go. The walkers would have gone after them and draw them away from the fence.

Agreed,It's only something that would happen in the writer's mind of TV land.There's so much more they could have done than give away their last bit-o-bacon for a few moments off the fence.

I wonder if the heard of 7500 walkers that Darrel and the gang run into while they are in the car in next weeks epi are headed toward the prison?

Not blown away by events so far. If they have so many issues with that fence, why not dig a trench or put up steaks or something? Why not just dump some gasoline and torch the big bundle of them together?

I don't get the Carol character either, she preaches survival, but I don't remember her being especially tough or useful throughout the entire show, pipe down lady, I hope you get eaten. The other characters are becoming pretty "meh" as well, not really anyone to cheer for.

By the way, I'm reminded of the plot transformation of the original 1960s LOST IN SPACE.
The show was originally conceived as seriously grim scifi drama. Dr Smith was this truly evil, openly malevolent spy/assassin/saboteur who stows away at launch, sabotages the Robinson ship, repeatedly plans to murder them all in their beds, total villain, and is completely to blame for all their crises.
The Smith character was so maniacal and such a threat that the menfolk would have had to kill him for their own safety and survival before the end of the first season. And then the plot becomes this group life sentence of trying to survive on some desert planet while grimly trying to fix the radio to signal Earth before they starve or freeze. The 'dark' premise sold, but was unsustainable over any long run.
So the producers did a 180. They rewrote Smith, with Jonathon Harris' help, as comic and nonthreatening, more slacker than villain. The entire plot lightened up and the premise morphed into a weekly sitcom about this hypochondriac shirker, a straight-man robot and a cute kid. Totally different show, but it was sustainable where Twilight Zone dark drama would not have been (or so they decided. I think it could have been a Dark Shadows like cult hit on reruns).

When the premise becomes no longer sustainable, you either reinvent the series or rewrite the premise. IMHO that's the same challenge the writers for TWD face.
My two cents. Because I really, really want to believe in this show again.

I've been watching the first season of Lost In Space and I agree fully! Dr Smith was downright disturbing! I remember watching back in my childhood after the transition to the less lethal Smith, this older version really got my attention. He was a truly diabolical person in so many facets. I had no idea, kind of a shock. How that family, especially Don, kept from abandoning him I do not know. I can see the Major really wanting to beat the living daylights out of him in every episode.
 
too bad merle and shane are gone - they knew how to handle things :D

and for this last episode: stabbing one in the head who is behind steel bars with a 3,5inch blade folder? dang you would just bash open your knuckles - and pushing up against the fence/zombies bare handed?

i dont know so far i liked the first and maybe the second season best

You know I have noticed the exact same thing since the first season! I am glad someone else has. Pretty funny that a little 3.5 inch folder can reach that far, not to mention have enough force behind it to penetrate a skull LOL But, it's Hollywood.....:cool:
