The biggest weakness this show has are not just the women characters but the entire group of characters in general. No one is ******* likeable, and all of them are almost as dumb as the ******* zombies that try to kill them on a week to week basis. I take that back, because very rarely in this show do zombies have an impact on anything important or make that much of an appearance. Not having the action hurts I agree (it makes sex in the city look like Rambo with how much more useless melodramatic arguments we have) but as the writers (or **** tards) have stated the show is about the characters first and their survival. And I think thats a good thing to focus on, to bad the writers have proven they are incapable of pulling off anything close to the skills necessary to build that kind of a drama. It's almost comical to watch them try to make us care about the struggles they write into the show when most of the time they are just ticky tacky things that get blown up into full episode centric arguments on top of the fact that who cares about any of these characters to begin with. None of these people would be alive right now in real life, even in a world without zombies for that matter with how ******* stupid they all are. The best thing for this series to do is to get new writers, kill off this entire group of people and focus on another group surviving (or maybe just one person). I will keep watching for the entertainment I get from how terrible it is, I'll tone down the bitching a bit to more of just a fun way of making fun of plot holes and such but the thing that gets me are the people overlooking the rather mediocrity of the show and praising it for being great... or good for that matter.

Second, if it is so important, get off your lazy ass and do it yourself.
And then of course she does go down there and gets into a car crash. Seriously, how is that even possible? I can drive down the interstate at 80 MPH and send a text message while eating a cheeseburger without getting into a wreck. How in the hell does she get into a wreck when there isn't another driver on the road in the entire country? Freaking women drivers.
When they go back to the bar, they have dialogue where Rick tells Herschel that somebody is sick at the farmhouse, confirming my suspicions that Rick already knew. So there was absolutely no reason for her to drive into town. What a freaking moron!

Yes indeed what a moron, and it's not like this is the kind of thing that should surprise anyone. These ******* stupid people do **** like this every single episode and it's just mind boggingly insulting to anyone with a brain who watches the show. The writers are a bunch of **** tards.

Jvig is so angry about The Walking Dead. Why bother watching it if you dislike it so much? I don't watch a show like Witney because it is terribly bad just to make fun of it.

Lori crashing was enjoyable. Not "Carl getting shot" hilarious, but still pretty funny.

I love watching terrible things, I really do get a kick out of watching terrible movies, tv shows, syfy movies etc. I only get angry when people try to make it out like it's a good show.

I figured I had just misremembered why Rick was going to town but now everyone has confirmed my thinking why the **** did that ***** go? Like what good can she do?
Shame they started with Darabont and then continued on with these POS writers, a perfect person to run this show would of been Ronald D. Moore

I get annoyed that the only action happens in the first 5 or so minutes and last the 10. I was about to turn it off then finally those random dudes showed up to the bar. The whole farm thing is boring. I want them to move somewhere else.

Sorry it isn't tho. But I will say that the last scene was pretty good and did a nice job of creating some tension. Although I was a little confused why Rick said there was no room when his group was basically in the same position.

I beg to differ. But it is what it is. You can dislike it, I can like it - the world goes on.

That was pretty clear to me. Rick was a cop and he can recognize someone who is up to no good when he sees them. It's obvious that Britt (FROM TERRIERS!!! <3) and his friend were either criminals or just bad people and he didn't want them near everyone else at the farm.

I miss that show. When I noticed it was on Netflix I watched it all in a day. So awesome.

I think when the big guy said he was looking for some booty that sealed the deal for Rick. He recognized that they would be trouble so that's why that whole thing went down the way it did.

That and just pissing on the floor.
I have to lean towards Jvig's call on this though. Season one was awesome, season two was ok but full of stupid decisions used solely to create a pretty weak story line / argument.
Now we're potentially looking at another season of farm house blues? No thanks. Especially if it's going to be along the lines of "Herschel goes bananas" as the driving force. This has the look of the rare show that I really like but midway through a season it gets deleted from the DVR "to do" list.

Yeah, my bad. Stupid half season nonsense.
Still, it remains to be seen whether Season 2 Part 2 will be deleted from my DVR list.
Also, FU for correcting me!

I like being an ass and correcting miniscule mistakes... so NEVER!
Also I'm fairly sure they leave the farm soon. I remember footage from one of the first promos and something happening in that footage was clearly not filmed on the farm.

Yeah, but they're probably just going to town to have hang out at the bar or have sex in the drug store.
