S03.E03: You're All Going to Diet

[MarkHB]

Tandy sets up a unique alarm system in the house, but Melissa has already put her own safety precautions in place. The whole group decides to enjoy a change in scenery.

Tandy, shut up. But I did like his "security system" that of course Carol loved. So stupid, yet so great. Totally like him.

I loved that Carol wanted to bring Cher along, because of course she did.

And so the gang travels off to...who knows where? Finally. Next week's a road trip, and it looks fun.

Since there were so many Billy Bass fish, shouldn't they have been going 24x7 since they would keep setting each other off.   I'm with Gail, the whistle and tap shoes were just stupid.

I'm so glad Lewis is there as the voice of reason -- which of course means he will be killed off shortly.  I figured the taser was going to kill him since he had a heart condition he didn't disclose.

I have no idea how Pat survived, let alone made it back to his boat after losing that much blood -- he's probably dead on the boat, since there is no one to tend to his injuries.

Maybe one of them -- I'm hoping Lewis -- will figure out that they should go find a farm where they can grow fruits and vegetables, one with a decent water well.  Still never figured out why they didn't move into the house with the working solar panels -- and the working (albeit now empty) chest freezer.  Or went to find a military base with a warehouse full of MREs -- even in non-ideal conditions, those things will last for years (and they are only 3 or so years into the apocalypse).

They have motion-detectors, and I don't think they have enough motion to trigger the ones around them.

Are we supposed to assume that the drone belonged to Pat? What if it belonged to someone else, and that someone else carried Pat away? I dunno. 

I loved Carol's idea of everyone wearing tap shoes and blowing whistles as they walked. Of course Carol was blowing her whistle when she left the dinner table, and I noticed that Phil had on his tap shoes that were tip-tapping as he walked.

I always enjoy seeing Carol's drawings.

I can't wait for next week!  My favourite episodes have been those involving travel!

[Traveller519]

Fun episode with the physical comedy (the alarm system, the rats nest) some genuine exploration into the situation and emotion, and very little pettiness from the gang.

[piequinn35]

I enjoyed this episode, is Lewis a good or bad guy? remember he and Pat had a conversation before Phil interrupted them so I'm not sure if he is good or bad.

[Big Mother]

I'm confused. The head impaled on a post, at the beach, wasn't Pat's? Just a doll?

[peeayebee]

I'm sure that was from the fake Pat that Phil made and fought with on the beach before he beheaded him.

Catching up, I love that they introduced a "straight man" with Lewis. Gosh that was needed, even if this show isn't supposed to be realistic at all (because where's the fun in that). It's just a way of creating absurd situations... (so stop trying to explain everything ;-))
