The Walking Dead: Discussion Thread

[Darn]

Lol, that's insane. Maybe Carol didn't understand infectious diseases but she's not some psychopath wanting to murder anyone who threatened her existence.

[ChitHappens]

I think this is the problem. It's not clear what brought Carol to this point, which is why, after two weeks, I still can't believe she's been tossed out into THAT world alone. I have yet to reconcile myself with that eppy, and I probably never will. There's a difference between a woman who's past and present circumstances have made her stronger and a sociopath.

I don't think Carol's crazy. She realized after the fact that what she did to Karen and David had no effect on the epidemic, and she regretted doing it on some level. Even if she didn't know these things, even if she was so bloodthirsty (and I don't think she is), a large quarantine with plenty of witnesses - and the fact that Rick knew what she'd done - would've deterred her.

[DRW50]

She's not killing people because she thinks they threaten her existence - she thinks she is doing this for the group, for survival. She thinks the others are too weak to make the tough choices. She also said, essentially, she was putting them out of their misery, which means this is going into another area entirely. And they don't have the numbers at the prison to be able to keep some type of watch on her.

I don't think she's a lunatic who is going to go on a killing spree, but I do think if she was back in that prison, in the place her mind is in now, if she saw more sick people and she was alone with them, she would kill them.

LOL I know! I fast forward every time Hershel opens his wise old mouth.

I agree. I think / hope she was just pretending to go along with Rick's plan. Carol could have saved Glenn.

Tell me about it! As if a lone walker wouldn't be a danger. That's too silly.

[DRW50]

I'm not sure how Carol could have saved Glenn.

[Ann_SS]

How exactly? Besides, Carol was more likely to kill Glenn than save him. After all he was drowning in blood just like she claimed Karen and David were.

[ChitHappens]

Have to watch last week's again! Super intense, and I still love the Rick/Carl scenes!

[ChitHappens]

Ann, after watching for the 5th time, I clearly see what happened to the blonde woman who pulled the walker off of Hershel. Remember when the man came our of his cell with the gun to shoot the walker attacking Herschel? Well, when is son came out and bit his arm, right as the blonde woman pulls the walker off of Herschel, the guy accidentally shoots her before he's wrestled to the ground by his son.

[DRW50]

I felt so sorry for that woman. Usually deaths on this show don't bother me, in terms of any horror factor, but that one did. There was something so brutal about it.

[ChitHappens]

How so? She was shot by accident, and it didn't look brutal to me. It was more unfortunate.

[Ann_SS]

Thanks. I totally missed her getting shot.

[DRW50]

I guess just the way the woman was snuffed out. She was trying to help, and then BAM she gets shot in the head. I'm used to the zombie gore, but that was more of a surprise.

It's good that the show can still shock me, but I felt sorry for her.

[Ann_SS]

Ugh, Phillip flashbacks. Poor Karen, she survives Phillip using her wits only to end up murdered by Carol.

[ChitHappens]

The Gov got some loyal ass followers!

I forgot that she was the one who survived him, and I knew she's be a new cast member. I just figured she's last more than 2 eppies!
