I believe they are still going ahead with a sequal as well
SPOILERS!!
SERIOUSLY!!
So the kid got shot (through the deer - bit unluckly there, massive dick move by Sods’ Law), why does this tragic accidental death seem to bet a set up to force/guilt the deputy to stay with the group? not cool. And that black guy should have died - massive bloodloss/fainting one minute, then fine the next. wtf
Also, this link http://www.reddit.com/r/entertainment/comments/lgay9/walking_dead_wtf/
sums up all the stupid shit i thought they did in the episode, not saying i didnt enjoy it though
They had better get some better writers quick.
That is all I have to say. I did not understand a cop letting his son get that damned close to a deer with the intentions of having dinner when they have a rifle. Was he trying to stab it to death?
Further, staying out in the woods as if NO ONE ELSE would also be out in the woods shooting at anything that moves is retarded. That is basic hunting logic and why hunters wear bright orange gear.
These people are dead unless Hollywood gets a better script writer stat.

This really irritated me. How in the hell did he survive an arterial bleed that soaked up half his shirt and made him faint. That was probably the worst part of the episode for me.
This guy sums up an issue I had with this episode very well:
“Kids are “exploring”. In a zombie-infested world. The kids are exploring. “Stay where I can see you honey…”. How about “stay tied to my back”?”
Maybe the writers for Breaking Bad, who I consider THE best in TV history, can take a bit of pity on these guys and punch up their teleplays a bit…

I kept face palming the whole freaking episode.
First, kids who don’t listen when you tell them to stay put will be dead soon no matter what.
You move on and leave the dumbass when that happens. No offense. But they now have several injured and dying because this one little girl can’t follow orders.
Second, acting like this is a field trip you take your son on and having him walk up to a deer is beyond Fuck-Stupid…especially for a cop.
I fast forwarded through the several attempts at tear jerking in the church.
I am going to watch the next ep…because I still have hope…but if it is like this one, I will move on as a fan.
I havent watched it yet im waiting until tomorrow because my gf wants to see it and well watch both but by the sounds of it OMG WHAT ARE THEY DOING!!!
GET THE GUY WHO WROTE THE COMIC TO WRITE THE SCREENPLAY!!!
The only thing that mad that idea even remotely good to begin with was Kirkmans writing because of the following
Later in the book these thieves attack rick carl and abraham and theyre going to rape carl and kill rick and take their stuff, rick loses it and does horrible horrible things to them both, its a very violent book and they dont even show what he does to them its so bad
He uses, realistic personalities and very well placed SHOCK and thats what makes all his books awesome so what the fu*k are they doing not using those same tactics with the tv show
I started getting pissed in the first season
if this was the comic book that guy in that facility who wouldnt let them out - Rick would OF MADE HIM OPEN the door anyway possible thats his character thats what makes him the hero of the story, he does whatever WHATEVER it takes to keep his family safe to the point where at times his sanity is questioned.
/end rant
The show is a drama - not a simulation on how to behave during the apocolypse.
Seriously, do you people stop watching horror movies once the dumb blonde goes to investigate the strange noise, or once the black guy starts to prematurly celebrate thinking he has killed the bad guy?
I didn’t think the episode was that bad personally, and have no plans on stopping watching anytime soon.

Look, I can bitch about dumb shit when in the first season it was clear the cop knew something about surviving. I just don’t understand having your kid with you like that and the deer situation. I would have been all in if the exact same thing happened…but he hadn’t sent his son at the deer.

No shit. Deer can seriously fucking hurt a full-grown man, let alone a small boy. It’s more likely that the damn thing would have picked up their scent and been out of there before they ever saw it though.

I’m not saying you can’t bitch, and I agree it doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense, but I’m sure you realize they tried to figure out a creative way to get the kid seriuosly hurt without him getting infected to stir up more drama. I mean the show is kinda of zombie soap opera with the whole cheating wife carrying her husbands best friends baby cause she thought he was dead plot arc.
I saw that deer scene as letting the boy experience something beautiful…compared to seeing walking corpses. It was a return to innocence in my interpretation.
A definite lack of judhement but if given the chance I would have done the same thing with my kid in that situation.
A lapse in judgement…its the end of the world. People are going to have them. The show would be lame as hell if everyone was a steel eyed bad ass. Its good to see them being human and making mistakes.

If the kid had gotten shot the way he did but none of the other ridiculous shit had happened, it would have bugged me less. But that, combined with the generally poor writing for the rest of the episode was really disappointing when you consider just how well the writing for the first season is.
Its not that it was the most poorly written show ive ever seen, its just that it seemed half-assed compared to last season.
Hopefully they pick up the slack a little more in this next episode or i dont have too much hope for the other 14.
That scene reinforced the sudden death aspects as well as the no one is safe rule.
Even further it plays with expectations…I was preparing to see the girl dead and on the ground somewhere in the scene but out of nowhere the the boy dies or at leaset shot…
Bow watch the girl turn up safe and sound
That’s just how I saw and felt through the scene.
You know, the first thing I would do in this situation is get the biggest SUV I could find, preferably one with a grill guard. Something that could work effectively as a battering ram, essentially. There is also no shortage of redneck trucks lifted on gigantic wheels around here, so why the fuck would you be driving in a bunch of low to the ground cars?
And let’s correct something here: that they introduced fuel as an issue at all is mind boggling. The characters proved that they knew they could siphon fuel from other vehicles, and yet it didn’t occur to them to load up with enough fuel to travel 120 miles? That’s less than half a tank in my Crown Vic…but they didn’t have the wherewithal to fill up their tanks before this trip? Sure, it’s nice to have some extra as backup, but otherwise it’s a goddamn non-issue. It’s just contrived drama that insults the viewer’s intelligence.
And finally, I would have an arsenal of weapons by that point. I would check every car on the highway for guns, etc whenever the coast was clear. And they already know Daryl has the most effective weapon that can be used without attracting zombies, yet it doesn’t occur to them to pick up one or two more of those?
I thought the episode was pretty lackluster, especially when I recall how great the season 1 premiere was.
love this show
Also, how the fuck do you act as a watch out, stand on top of a giant mobile home…BUT MISS A HOARD OF ZOMBIES SLOWLY WALKING UP THE FREEWAY???

I thought Frank Darabont was supposed to have “cleaned house” with his writing staff after that inexcusably bad “Vatos” episode (Coles Notes: Mexican gangbangers run a nursing home).
I guess not…
