I don't think you are.I'm aware of what I said.Jesus. You are the one that said:In your rush to defend all things TWD, you seem to have no idea what we're discussing.We're discussing the finding of the country club. Go back to your usual wrongness please.FAILThey walked out of the woods and Beth was leading. I thought it was very obvious. She then said something to the effect that "this place MUST have alcohol".
"On they go to the second stop of the crawl, a run-down cabin Daryl said he discovered with Michonne. It’s a spot, he says, that reminds him of the place he and Merle lived in with their abusive father."
I guess it's easy to understand why you like this show, you re-write it in your head.
"Daryl knew where the rat trap was because he said he found it previously with Michonne. The locations appear close enough together that it's reasonable that he would've known where a giant country club was when he was gung ho about scouting the area."

I want to see a Tara-Maggie love scene because I'm a romantic and I love a beautiful love story.
OK I'm sex crazed too.
But mostly I'm a romantic.

I remember the ginger soldier with the handlebar having a hell of time with that last zombie in the one scene last week. Maybe it was a fresh zombie that hadn't gotten to zombie osteoporosis yet.

Question: If Darryl knew how to get to the rat trap from the country club, doesn't that mean he knew about the country club already? i.e. how else would he have known how to get to
the rat trap from the country club if he didn't already know where the country club was?
Just curious

If he knew where the 'rich house' was, why would he even bother rummaging through it? Wouldn't you think that was already done?
dhockster
Footballguy
I don't have an answer. All I know is he left the rich house to get Beth a proper first drink and he knew how to get from the rich house to the rat trap. Ergo, he knew where the country club was.

My theory is that he was a golf pro prior to the turn and therefore frequented the country club. I wish there was an episode dedicated to Daryl's background so that I could get some questions answered so that I can enjoy the show. In fact it would be great if they had the rest of the season set at the country club just talking about what they used to do. Maybe we can finally settle the debate as to whether or not Rick was in law enforcement.
Oh and something else that has been driving me crazy that the writers just left hanging. Glen said he delivered pizzas, just delivery, or was he a part time pizza artist? who tips better, seriously?

Sorry SBob, I just can't help myself and I must try to give Copeman a little help here:
Premise: Daryl might know about the country club.
Fact 1: Daryl knew about the rat hole.
Fact 2: The rat hole is close to the country club.
To make argument against the premise you'd have to discount one of the 2 facts SBob is using in support of his premise. Your comment about Beth coming out of the woods and finding "it" first means nothing towards the premise unless you were talking about the rat hole. The fact Beth came out of the woods first at the country club doesn't say anything towards whether Daryl knew about it or not. At most it might suggest that she was leading the way.

Ergo, that's some failed logic.
Let's say you know exactly where your local Walmart is, because you shop there all the time. They've got everything, right? Then one day you stumble upon a Target. Now, you didn't know about that Target previously, because Target is too pricey and more for the uppity rich house people, but that's not really important right now. What is important is that you could leave that Target and make it to the warm nurturing busom of your local Walmart. I know you could. I believe in you.

Daryl is a tracker so he didn't have to know the location of the country club. He could back track to where they started then take Beth to the rat house.
Regardless, you would think he would take refuge at the rat house initially rather than building a hubcap camp in the open woods.

How the #### would he know where the rat trap was, let alone that it would have moonshine? And there's no way someone knows where a rat trap like that is without knowing the surrounding area extremely well.

Daryl and Michonne spent around 6 months exploring the surrounding area looking for evidence of the governor. Between that and the daily supply runs, it's kind of weird that he'd never stumble across that huge country club once. A country club so close that they found it quite easily after being a day or two removed from the prison.

What the hell is the temperature around there? New hot chick wears daisy dukes and a tshirt. Rick takes a leather jacket from the guy he kills. Daryl goes with the sleeveless vest. Beth wanted to go cardigan. They light a fire that could expose them (not this episode) but they leave the sleeping bags in the pro shop. And Tyreese wears a wool cap.
Some continuity would be nice.

These 8 episodes are to build human interest in the characters. Make us care about them more than ever...why? Thats the question. Its either to get us more upset when they are killed off (dramtic effect) or they arent going to die anytime soon.Next season will have the answers ...not this season.

Herschel was in the way. Once Rick and Beth meet back up and things settle down, it's game on. Daryll is obviously gay.

new clothes, sleeping bags, flashlights with working batteries, waterproof jackets (which they ignored), golf clubs, matches, rope (which they left), at least one fire extinguisher,
much better locations for all of that crap --- can't remember when I've ever see a pro shop that had batteries, flashlights, sleeping bags or rope.

Let's leave this #### here, there's plenty of stuff over at the Ingles that's 5 miles down the road.

Footballguy
except in that episode. waterproof jackets definitely suck for survival. so do wooden matches, and every business has a first aid kit. but you're right. a place that sells clothes, titanium shafts that could be used as weapons, new shoes, socks, shirts, bags, hats, sunglasses, packaged food, --what a terrible place to scavenge. They should have walked 10 miles down the road to the circle k.

you're the one just making up #### as you go....
besides, it's probably the circle K that's near houses and other stores for foraging and the country club's clubhouse that is more isolated

I'm not going to get sucked into the "debate" with those that hate the writing on the show, but I do find it very plausible that there are areas near the prison that weren't explored. While they weren't always on foot, it was pretty clear that Michonne and Daryl often went out on foot, and you are only going to cover so much ground by foot. And by vehicle, it's very possible there were road blocks (broken down cars, etc) that didn't allow a vehicle easy access to certain roads, etc, that means that the country club could have been undiscovered. Things don't have to be 100% all tied together in nice little bows, things like this can have plausible explanations (I gave one) without them having to ever have spelled it out in the show.
As for them finding the shack, it's also plausible that Daryl knew the general area they were in and even if he had never been to the country club before, he may have known that a couple miles in "that direction" there was the shack. Maybe he recognized a street sign along the way, again, they don't have to film and show every little detail like that for it to be plausible. As for why he didn't take Beth there first to get a drink, he wasn't leading. He wasn't trying to help her get a drink, he just ended up following her cause she was bound and determined to do something, not just sit in the make-shift camp. He didn't start helping until they were in the country club. Or maybe he knew where the shack was all the time, but didn't want to go there because it reminded him of growing up, but once it was clear Beth really wanted that experience of having a drink, he decided to take her there. It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the show.
Now...yes, the survivors show an extraordinary lack of foraging skills, I mean, a cardigan, Beth...really? But again, that is part of the show - they aren't survivors 24/7, even though they should be. Sometimes they just want to get out of the bloody, dirty clothes and into something nice. Or sometimes they just want a drink. It's really easy to say they are doing it all wrong and pick apart the show, but part of the enjoyment of the show for me is seeing how they are "human" and don't always think of the best things to do, or remember to grab the most sensible items when scavenging.
I guess the TL;DR is: Plausible things don't need to be shown. Don't nitpick, and you'll probably enjoy the show more. Don't enjoy it now, it probably isn't going to change much. Stop watching in that case.

My wife and I are big fans of the show……..but we are both looking at each other with each passing episode since season 4's return and keep saying……will it get better?
Clearly the weakest season of the entire series thus far due to this second half. And it's not close. I hope it does pick up more as this is the last season with this cast. I was really enjoying season 4…..but after the fall of prison it has come to a screeching halt.
The show has been a great ride. Hopefully it really picks up this Sunday. It has been real bore so far. Character development? Yeah I love that……when it's interesting. This is just not very interesting at all thus far.
