OK, what's the over/under on how many more episodes until they find the little girl?

Until the last 30 seconds nothing happened this episode except the redneck (don't remember his name) hurt himself and got grazed by a bullet. That's it.

I don't know why you guys are still watching if you're looking for a show with big movements in plot every week. It's not an action-oriented show, despite the backdrop. It's about characters--and there ARE movements in the characters' developments each week.

I actually do prefer character-oriented shows, but in this case I find that after 10 episodes I still don't care about any of these particular characters. They just aren't interesting. Their problems aren't interesting. Their traits or flaws aren't interesting. The whole show is much more like a soap opera than a true character study. And it certainly doesn't help that most of these characters are played by rather bad actors and the dialog is poorly written, imo.

To each their own, I guess. I find it to be a pretty good show.

Agreed. It is just barely interesting enough to keep watching, but not good enough to really enjoy. Passing notes at dinner? Give me a break.

I agree completely. These characters are just so boring. The only decent character is Daryl. It is just good enough that I would feel bad about not watching it but not good enough to make me want to watch it as soon as I get home Sunday after work.

I really like the show. Loved 'spongebob zombie' in the well!!!

I could have easily seen myself say "Good thing we didn't do anything stupid like shoot it" like T-Dogg...

I'm still an episode behind. Hopefully watch the 5th one tonight...

That last 5-10 minutes was probably the best part of the whole season. Hopefully they build off of that.

Last week was good, this week was even better. Finally some conflict and moving the plot forward. Thank God they didn't kill Shane off like they did in the comic. He's the one keeping things interesting. Also, glad the girl got zombiefied.

Yep yep.

Yeah, he's the most interesting character, by far.

Herschel needs to eat a gun. He kept them out there looking and looking and looking for the little girl, putting themselves in mortal danger, all while knowing they had a little girl zombie. I don't care if he'd been playing ostrich about the walkers all that time, that's enough to say buh-bye to him and take the damn farm. But hey, maybe I have a little of Shane's attitude :D

Shane couldn't pull the trigger on the girl. It took someone who's been forced to make hard decissions to do it. Rick. Hershel is a nut-case and needs med's! His daughter (Maggie?) is a hottie IMO!!!

Maggie is definitely a hottie, and Herschel either needs to eat a bullet on his own or be force-fed one.
