If you live in the LA area, are into DIY music and aren't familiar with Chad Metheny's stuff as Emperor X, you should definitely check it out. His new one was my favorite record of the year last year. Super cool.<br /><br />http://emperorx.tumblr.com/yourblindspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976169517693699335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-10412746733714768162012-02-20T04:32:38.196-05:002012-02-20T04:32:38.196-05:00Way late to the party, but glad you two are back a...Way late to the party, but glad you two are back at this. About to sit down and watch the next episode can't wait to find out about any other people Dave and Tony might have been traveling with and what the repercussions are of Rick's actions. <br /><br />Oh and Terriers was the most phenomenal show that nobody watched...well that and Party DownZach Zhttp://zombiemusicblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1413521257593817942012-02-17T14:17:39.305-05:002012-02-17T14:17:39.305-05:00I thought it was a good beginning to season 2-1/2....I thought it was a good beginning to season 2-1/2. 3 things I took from the eposide:<br /><br />1) I think fromm his PD experience Rick just knows how to read people ( as experienced most cops do) and knew there was going to be trouble and was ready.<br /><br />2) I think this will change Herchel's mind about wanting Rick et al to leave. They need a doctor, he needs protection that Rick< shane & Daryl can provide.<br /><br />3) Yes!!!!! Maybe they aren't going to neuter Daryl like I felt they did to Sawyer on Lost! He's sick of lookin' for people. Love it.<br /><br />Great recap!<br /><br /> -Tim ALanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-85029909035704151012012-02-17T10:11:41.103-05:002012-02-17T10:11:41.103-05:00@Nikki: I’d like to believe that they didn’t know,...@Nikki: <i>I’d like to believe that they didn’t know, that they simply were either too stressed or upset or in shock to realize that was Sophia</i><br /><br />I totally believe that Hershel and co. didn't know Sophia was in the barn, I just think the idea that they didn't is silly, for all the reasons you mentioned. <br /><br />That said, I appreciate the writers giving us an explanation (Otis corralled the walkers and died before he could tell them about the little girl), no matter how questionable I find that explanation. <br /><br />That final scene in the bar was simply marvelous, and earned a lot of goodwill squandered by the meandering middle parts (and Lori's epic stupidity). Loved the way subtext remained subtext, and tensions rose subtly and gradually until bam! Rick goes all badass. A master class in suspense film making. <br /><br />Like killing Zombie Sophia and Shane leading the charge to execute the walkers, it's the kind of thing that is right and wrong at the same time (but because Rick is relatively more developed and seems to question his place in this new lawless society rather than just being batshit insane, his actions seem badass and applause worthy, whereas Shane's actions are creepy and disturbing).Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-75640007813715274542012-02-16T19:37:25.230-05:002012-02-16T19:37:25.230-05:00Am with both of you about Lori--she has become one...Am with both of you about Lori--she has become one of the most annoying characters in the show, and I was having a WTF moment during that car crash scene. "Has she not learned to let Rick come home by himself"? "Don't read a map while driving, dumbass", "oh look, a walker on the road, imagine that".

Next thing you know, we would have found out he was a mean drunk. <br /><br />Officer Swift Justice saw a bad situation developing in a hurry and, remembering the advice of that other legend of law enforcement, Barney Fife, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de_P2aUZJyA" rel="nofollow">nipped it in the bud</a>.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-15696432820841082462012-02-16T15:59:49.252-05:002012-02-16T15:59:49.252-05:00Yay! And we're back!
In addition to all the ...Yay! And we're back! <br /><br />In addition to all the reasons you listed as to why Rick would shoot, the biggest reasons for me were Dave reaching for his gun first (Rick is just an excellent Quick-Draw-McGraw) and the implied/body language of the conversation held. At some point didn't the bigger guy even say something about there not being any hot ladies around? <br /><br /><br />I also think that Hershel is going to take this incident in stride. As someone who only let Rick and the crew on his land because of Carl being shot, I can't imagine he would be any more hospitable to these two jerks. <br /><br />As someone who's read the comics, I know it is just wishful thinking, but Lori getting eaten by a zombie in the car would be cause me to cheer! <br />Also, maybe cause I'm not a mom (to human children) yet, but I don't really get how Lori can act so suprised/shocked/upset with Carl stating that he would have shot Sophia too. I mean, really Lori, you're in this world as it is and I'd be proud that my kid wasn't acting like a big baaby and was prepared to take care of himself if need be.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04465366984953974907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-50605383483908394922012-02-16T15:00:36.637-05:002012-02-16T15:00:36.637-05:00Thank you, Colleen, for championing my glove quibb...Thank you, Colleen, for championing my glove quibble.

He shot the man who was about to shoot him.<br /><br />The glove thing isn't a nitpick when you might be bleeding and you're dealing with zombie parts.
