That's why he sent Carol away. Keep her all to himself.

If ever there was a show/premise for flawed characters, it's this one. This show would be insanely boring if they did everything the way the FBG writers want them to. If they'd done half of what you guys had wanted, they'd be sitting on a pile of prison farm vegetables, drinking filtered river water, all singing kumbaya while they watched the walkers outside the fence impale themselves on pikes trying to get to the armless walkers inside the first fence, while another group of them chased Carl's remote control car in circles out on the driveway.
Is it the greatest written show in the world? No. It drives me nuts when they write in things, then just drop them (the radio transmission, how the S04 sickness was miraculously cured by Hershel with a syringe of horse medicine). But I still watch every week, mainly because its an hour of entertainment.

One thing this show doesn't do in my opinion is introduce a major plot point and fail to address it. This season isn't over yet so there's no reason to assume the show won't revisit the radio transmission. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't revisited. The sickness wasn't dropped. The resolution may not have been satisfying to you but they didn't leave it hanging. Besides, the last time we saw Glenn he wasn't exactly up to banging Maggie. He was still pretty weak. Sasha too.

I agree with this.

Could it be that the radio isn't a major plot point? The writers may have used it to get the attention of the people in the car off the road so they could have them run into a huge group of walkers. Not plausible if you are just driving down the road, but if you are looking at the radio then it could be possible to be surprised by the herd.

If it's a live broadcast, sure. But if it's just some old broadcast being repeated...
I'm sure you would need electricity for that, but who knows. The writers already take liberty with unlimited gas, maybe the radio station has unlimited electricity.

If they did the radio broadcast scene just so they'd be surprised by a herd of walkers, the writers are pretty dumb.

You want less than 5 abled bodies to dig a moat and build better perimeter defenses with simple hand tools, along with gathering the supplies needed for all of that, while also having to go out on supply runs. Good luck with that.

I think there will be a payoff here and probably something that leads them into season 5.

I'm sure you guys have covered it...but I just cannot stand the "pet zombies" nonsense.
So...basically, if I'm to understand this crap...all I need is two pet zombies on a leash and no other zombies will touch me. They can't sense or smell me or whatever it is that attracts zombies to the living.
How does that work? Seems to me, whenever you have a zombie horde around you...they won't be able to find you..because they keep smelling each other or whatever. It's just dumb all the way around...they break their own rules with this show every week.
And those damned pets...you cut their arms and jaws and they're suddenly tame? That's lame...they have one instinct...eat you. We've seen heads without bodies continue to try to eat you...but remove the bottom jaw and they'll just walk wherever you want them to without ever trying to do anything? To me, it would be like when my dog tries to hump my leg...he ain't getting it done but he's still trying. I'd think these jawless freaks would still keep trying to put their mouth on you...just gumming and headbutting you...no way you're able to control them.
As for Rick...ugh...I'm tired of his character and his awful way of saying, KARRRRL. It was such a lame attempt by the writers to make it seem like he was dead and then moaning and lunging at KARRRRRL. The wheels are coming off this crapwagon.
Amazing how MIchonne can wander aimlessly in the woods with her pets and then come upon the exact house that Karl and Rick are hiding...ugh. How about giving us something...ANYTHING to believe that...how about she's wandering in the neighboring woods and hears KARRRRL's endless shots to kill 3 zombies? Just make a damned attempt at making some of this crap believable.

Yeah, td, someone else mentioned what I had forgotten about the Governor's scientist talking about figuring out that they became docile when dejawed, but I'm with you on the whole pet thing. I'll go along with the docile part, but just having them on a rope/chain is supposed to deter other zombies from getting you? That's what I took creative issue with.

It never jumped the shark...it "rained zombies"...that's the preferred terminology for this show.I don't think it's possible for a show as bad from the beginning (c'mon, let's be honest) as The Walking Dead to actually 'jump the shark'. It's is what it is and will probably stay this way until the day it ends.I used to love the show. This is a discussion forum aka timewaster while at work. I enjoy talking with others who think the show is flopping about our perceptions of it's flaws.
Its an interesting topic of "good show gone bad".... a "jump the shark" type moment that many great shows experience before the decline. Dexter experienced it. Breaking Bad did not. Sons of Anarchy did. Many people now feel Walking Dead has done this too. It's a viable discussion topic.
It's strange that some of you take personal offense to the fact that some of us think the show has taken a turn for the worse.

It rained "Walkers" as, per the writers, the word Zombie is unknown in this world.

at this show jumping the shark.This show has been goofy, hokey, inconsistent, and mediocre since EP 1.

Yeah, they shouldn't be looking for the ocean or some remote island... these people should be going to Pennsylvania to seek out some Amish commune. Those guys can build anything.

I could get on board with this version of the spelling.
It's to the point where Rick's "CAR-ULL / KARRRL" has surpassed Michael from Lost screaming "WAAAAAALT!"

Tonight is the Beth and Daryl episode. Hear that the 3 comic book characters are coming to be introduced soon. They need some new blood since they keep losing people and it does keep things fresh.
I am not 100% sure, but I thought they show the previous episode (a week later) right before the new one and then after the Talking Dead episode they rerun that night's episode.

The michonne double as a walker sort of creeped me out a bit. The story of her killing the herd was pretty good on Talking dead last week too.

Is Beth going to be the new moral compass of the group replacing Herschel?
Whose boot was that? Looked like a kid's boot. I don't think it was the two girls because I think Tyrese is with them and they showed them in a preview that hadn't happened yet (or maybe that was the end result). Beth said Luke and Molly, but I don't remember who those are.
