When I first visited the UK in 1995 I turned on the TV and said, "What the fuck? Is this a real TV show?"
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

So good to have my favorite show back.
Who's on board with me?
Best show on television.
I just got done binging on Breaking Bad and it has ruined television for me, forever. The Walking Dead is still an okay show, though. There were actually walkers in the premiere.

The show has become one group of people v. another group of people, with the occasional zombie attack. Last season the most ridiculous one was Andrea in the woods. It's watchable, but I wouldn't put it in the top tier.
The show isn't about the zombies per say. The creator even said the title, The Walking Dead is referring to their little band of survivors.
They even made the point to show that in the zombie apocalypse the real danger is the living and what they do to each other ... not the un-dead.
That being said, now that Dexter and Breaking Bad are gone, I have only this kick-ass highly rated show to cling to.
(Actually Sons of Anarchy is still pretty good too.)

When living in Europe, one is confronted with some of the dullest and most boring TV productions in the entire world.
Which is why we prefer the American series and probably see them as being more awsome than most Americans (who are use to them) see them.
Other than in the UK, where TV is suposedly not as dull and boring as here or in France or elsewhere.
Polands most popular TV show is a soap opera about a catholic priest and his "adventures" in his rural polish comunity. That should give you an impression about how dull watching TV here can be. But you have Being Human and Doctor Who! Sure, there's an American Being Human, but it kinda sucks.

I'm with you. Breaking Bad defiled my brain.

Nice episode but slightly boring.
I didn`t like this "rick coming back to having a gun" thing with killing the pigs and all that.
I would have liked seeing him kling on to his farmers life to the very last second.
Also I bet it is the little girl who is feeding the walkers.

Are they going to come to a place where they will kill anybody who has serious flu? Or do you think that those two died first and were then killed and burned? Why burn them- to kill the infection? Who gave the order?

No one gave that order. I bet it was a parent or someone who panict and murdered those two. A person that overreacted.
For the plot it is hardly of any importance who commited the murder, it is however important for the plot how the group will be dealing with the moral issue of bringing justice to a murderer once they find out who did it.

Perhaps this will be a way of bringing a new character to the forefront? Of course, that would help flesh out the character of the boyfriend of the burned woman- he will want revenge for sure.

Perhaps we'll see a trial. Ah, the difficulty of reinventing civilization.
I don't know about this, though. I think the council may have ordered it- which might bring about problems with the setup of authority in the prison. DAMNIT, I hate to wait a whole week.
