S2:E5

Wow... an episode of crazy things.

I thought Daryl was dead. I knew he'd be fine against the two walkers, even with an arrow stuck in his side. I knew he'd be able to get up the hill and get out. When he was eating the squirrel, I knew immediately that the blood on his face was going to get him into trouble. And wouldn't you know it, Andrea shoots him.

This is the kind of stuff that happens when someone that has no training gets a weapon in their hands. Even with it being a time where the dead walk, even with Andrea's desire to practice firing a rifle, someone got hurt because she couldn't confirm that her target was really a walker. It's been said many times to not use firearms when stealthier means of killing walkers can be employed. I think Andrea's a cooking time bomb, and it's only a matter of time before her little bits of havoc turn into one giant explosion of devastation.

I'm beginning to dislike Hershel even more. I don't like his secretive attitude. The southern, good ole boy mentality is a poison, in real life and in TWD. And looky, looky... not only does he want people to leave, but he's got a barn full of live walkers!

I don't know how Maggie going to be able to keep Glenn quiet. I would think Glenn has the fortitude to know that he should tell Rick. Is the allure of sleeping with Maggie again the only thing that keeps Glenn's mouth shut? I can't wait to see.

Finally, I like the flashbacks at different portions during the season. The one in this episode flashed back to a highway when Carol, Ed and Sophia's car was near the one that Shane, Lori and Carl were traveling in. Atlanta was being bombarded by attack helicopters napalming the streets.

I'm pumped to see the next episode.

Thanks for reading.
