The Walking Dead

I guess that we won't know if they would have gotten sick from Bob being bitten and eating him.

I don't follow this show and correct me if I have the wrong show, but while channel surfing last night I stumbled on the "hit men on head with bat, then slit their throats over a trough" scene. I watched this totally out of context for about two killings/45 seconds. It made me sick to my stomach. So much so that I told my wife about it later in the evening and we began a discussion on how that level of TV violence is obscene, especially in this day when beheading atrocities are occurring in real life. We both speculated that if just one viewer in a million decides to reenact this in real life - it's a disaster! No wonder we have so much violence in US schools these days.
I like good shoot-em up films as much as the next guy, but usually the violence comes with a moral purpose or some kind of redeeming justice for the guilty. All this zombie crap is out of frigging control:angry:

It is fiction and sane people know it. The problem is that we don't have the mental institutions that we use to.

Bring back the lobotomy!!

Bring back the lobotomy!!

Exactly. I know a few people that it would be an improvement.

Honestly, I meant institutions that can treat humanely and house patients. Most state institutions are gone.

Most state institutions are gone.

Just pointing out this is coming from the anti-government guy ... ;-)

Not really anti government. It serves a purpose. And note I said state not federal.

They cost too much to run or else I would agree. On my caseload right now I have murderers and several sex offenders that I truly believe will commit crimes again. I cannot wait to be done with community mental health work (that being said I'm with the worst of the worst).

As for violence on TV...notice yet that humans pose more of a threat and are more sadistic than the walkers? There is your moral. We are a horrible species.

So who else is in the woods or what happened to Carol?

Hopefully, Carol and Beth are both in there. Next week looks to be a Daryl and Carol episode.

 

[Edd]

So, sort of in regard to the tainted meat thing, there's something I'm not getting.

You'll remember when Shane got shot and killed, he then turned zombie without being bitten. That implied that everyone has the disease and you'll turn when you die.

So does a zombie bite itself even matter? Was it the bite that killed Bob? We got no answers from the cannibals eating the meat because they all got slaughtered.

 

[Tin]

A bite will slowly kill. As with Bob, Jim from season 1, Donna, Duane, etc.

I think it might be Morgan.

 

[gmcunni]

i don't like this alternating plot/episode thing they are doing.


and the fire hose thing was just silly.

 

[Puck it]

I knew he was a fake.

 

[gmcunni]

I knew he was a fake.

+1

 

[Edd]

I knew he was a fake.

I had no idea.

 

[MadMadWorld]

It seems like it would be Morgan. But I don't believe Daryl ever met him and from the video it seems like he knew the person otherwise he wouldn't just bring that person to the group after what has recently transpired.

 

[Edd]

On the whole, I think they're killing it this season. I've liked every episode.

 

[prsboogie]

I didn't think Darryl met him either but a few at work disagree with me. The other option is its the kid Beth helped escape and Carol went in as a mole!!
