I eventually gave up on watching it on Yahoo. Just couldn't get it to work right. But by the time I came home there were pirate streams to watch, and the show itself is still very good. High points included, but were by no means limited to: Frankie pointing out that you can't just build a bar in secret The fake-mustached police raid (My audio wasn't great though. Why was that one guy dressed as a carrot?) The "Who talks like that?" rejection at the job interview Chang's "I can spell" Everything about Chang's cat bite Britta's green machine escape and of course, young frisbee hippie Leonard Only thing really bugging me is: where's Starburns?

He wasn't listening to Glenn about escape routes, that's for sure. Honestly, I think he deliberately chose the front door because it was more dangerous. Easier to get some of those meddling new people killed! Sure, once he was impaled and wanted Glenn to save him, then he stopped acting like a deliberate asshole. That's not character development. That's just begging for your life.

Why do you think we didn't see him for so long? It took that long to wash the urine smell out of his holy-pants,

My vote would be "Owl be seeing you."

Carl's Hat is thrilled to be involved in the show's writing process. What random word will they pull out it for next week's title?

Maybe he just wants to trade it for spaghetti. Which makes it technically for Mrs. Neudermyer.

I predict that the next time Sam is stealing things for Carol, he manages to snag a pistol for himself. He hides it in a drawer in the garage. Jessie makes him re-assemble that ugly-ass owl thing again. After she leaves, he destroys it and runs off to annoy Carol. Pete walks into the garage looking for some booze that he left in a drawer. Just then, Constable Rick returns, still trying to solve the Case of the Battered Bird. He sees owl pieces all over the floor, and he sees Pete."Pete the Pestilent Porch Dick! It looks like your foul-fingered festival of marital mayhem is at a finish," growls Rick. "Wait. Am I getting my Batman imitations mixed up?" "Hi Rick. I have booze," slurs Pete. "We can be friends!" He obliviously pulls Sam's gun out of the drawer, because all he's actually noticed is that it's not alcohol, and Rick, seeing it, shoots him. In the finger. "Owl be the judge of that," he deadpans. Because Rick is batshit. He is shirtless and still hacking Pete into little pieces with a jengabird wing when Jessie comes home from the cake store, where she and Pete have been busy all week planning a surprise birthday party for Rick, hence all the nervousness and secrecy they've been displaying. So why did Sam want a gun? Because he's a kid who wants a gun! Even without zombies around, it's not that unusual. So, Sam: Thanks for ruining Rick's birthday party, you little shit. There were gonna be owl pinatas and everything! Well, almost everything. The horsey rides got cancelled at the last minute.

Woodbury 2.0: Group of survivors united under Martinez, taken over by Brillip, defeated at the prison, and survived solely by Tara.

Can we stop calling the owl a "sculpture" yet? The thing's been taken apart so many times now I think it's officially just a "puzzle."

If he's going to be a crazy doomsayer, can't they at least let him be a little more meta? "I know They seem kind, but you must understand. The lord has a special plan for them. We're living in the third book of the bible right now, and They are his chosen people. And the rest of us... aren't. Every place They go, horrible things happen immediately, because that's God's way of testing Them. Have you ever heard the story of what happened to Job's servants? No? Well, I ripped that page out of my bible this morning and stomped on it. Don't ask. But, basically... you remember those guys on Star Trek who had the red shirts? That's everybody Rick and his friends come in contact with. He doesn't mean to bring death and suffering, but it follows him everywhere, because apparently that's the story God wants to tell. Why do you think your generator broke as soon as those people even looked at it?"

They have apples. Maybe they're refilling old beer bottles with hard cider. Or mead. Or, they are growing hops and barley. Think about who they've been sending on supply runs. "Sorry, dude, we didn't have time to grab any cabbage seeds, but we got more hops!"

Rick is kind of a shitty cop. Did it even occur to him to ask the kids if they saw anything? Or did he do so, off camera, and he just can't read "squirmy, nervous, and evasive?" I mean, Carol took like one second to figure it out. Granted, Carol's not a cop, she's a crime boss who tells cops who to kill, but how about Michonne? Isn't she still a cop? I'll bet Michonne could have solved the case. What happens when Rick investigates a crime? Either he forgets about it, and then starts planning to secretly murder your husband so he can bang you, or he asks you up front if you're a murderer. And if you are a murderer, then as long as you're not pointing a gun at him, trying to eat him, or married to a woman he has a crush on... then all you get is a time out.

Thinking about it, if he'd opted for the leg surgery, he wouldn't have gone on that run. I understand being hesitant, but if the alternative is running around in zombie country every day under a leader whose main survival skill is apparently running faster than his subordinates... you might want to take your chances with Doctor Drunky.

Even though his character has become increasingly dull, I though that the cruelty of his death scene was completely unnecessary. Nobody deserves to die with techno music still echoing in their head.

Couldn't he have found a way to get himself stupidly killed without putting Glenn on his mom's shit list? Bad douche bag! No bullet for you! Bad, bad douche bag!

Whoah! Thanks, Greybunny! Totally wrong thread.

At the beginning, all I could think while he was tearing up that bible was "Wow, Sinead O'Conner's really been hitting the tanning beds." At the end, all I could think was "Kill him right now! Worry about Pete next week." Shane had an interesting story. Season 3 Brillip had an interesting story. Hell, even Lori sort of had an interesting story. FPP is not only an albatross, he's a kind of a boring albatross. Yes, he slows the heroes down, and being slowed down can be dramatic, but the same could be accomplished by having a rainstorm make the ground really muddy. I don't want to watch people struggling every week to pull their boots out of the mud, and I don't want to watch them struggling every week for the dubious privilege of sharing a series with Father Pee Pants. Oh, if he dies, I will miss the nickname. But it's a fair trade. Kill him immediately please.

deleted and moved to another thread.

Even though Carol and Rick are probably right about the abuse happening, I think you should have more than a gut feeling that someone is being (non-lethally,) violent, before you start plotting their death. I mean, Sam didn't even say anything decisive, for whatever the word of a cookie-mooching little bastard is even worth. How about taking it in baby steps? Maybe Jessie tells everyone "I'm moving out because my husband was abusive." Then, if Pete comes after her, Rick or MIchonne beat the hell out of him and throw him in the drunk tank until Deanna bails him out. It's not perfect, but it's a starting point. The alternative? A strong hunch, by the cop who's trying to bang your wife, is enough to justify a death sentence? I'm a tad iffy about that legal system. And I'm just not sure there needs to be a huge veil of secrecy here. And, really, what else does Constable Rick need to watch for? The only other criminals in town are Carol, Sam, and himself.

All the idiots from "Friends" would be long dead. But, that said: Monica is Lori. Phoebe is Beth.

And why was Noah even on the run? If he's getting his George Costanza on and pretending to be an architect, shouldn't he be at the construction site? Or still talking to Reg? Why does Aiden want him so much? Wouldn't, say, Rosita, maybe be a better choice than the limping guy with indeterminate combat experience? Where the hell is Rosita? And as for this week's zombie kills... What's that, Rick? The phone's ringing? Well, what does it say? Yes, I suppose you're right. Lloyd Kaufman probably does want his special effects back.

By the way, why was this episode called "Spend?" I could probably think of at least two dozen one-verb titles that would be more appropriate.

I always think Barry Bostwick.

Hopefully he won't turn into a Walker. "I chew chew chews you."

I would personally, out of my own wallet, pay for him to get that as his next tattoo.
