If this episode was the second or third episode after the break, Carl's angst would not have been as noticeable for me, I think. Yeah, I kept debating whether or not Carl should be acting that way since he is still a kid, and I ended up being in the middle of annoyed by him being dumb and okay with it since he is a teen, which is why I was mostly indifferent. :)<br /><br />I know, Rick can't die, but I never thought as though he was going to actually more so than I did in that episode (did that statement make any sense?). <br /><br />Michonne isn't one of my favorite characters either, but I do like her Samurai sword. :)<br /><br />Can't wait for tonight!<br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-43861682580937606782014-02-16T16:05:24.826-05:002014-02-16T16:05:24.826-05:00The series really should have started with Daryl a...The series really should have started with Daryl and his group since he is the favorite of basically everyone. If this episode was the second episode of the season, I do not believe it would have been as disappointing or feel as lackluster. I need to read Kirkman's comic. I have the first issue downloaded, but I haven't read it. <br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-68983204802604823722014-02-16T14:38:10.455-05:002014-02-16T14:38:10.455-05:00While I found the rehashing of teen angst annoying...While I found the rehashing of teen angst annoying, I never actually felt that it had been fully resolved before hand either. The end of the episode felt like it completely resolved that little Carl character development and completely reunited him with Rick, so I was happy by the end of the episode. While it wasn't what I expected to deal with in the first episode, I thought overall it was wrapped up well by the end. And Carl is only, what, fourteen or something? I was able to give him some room since at that age, we all think we're grown up when we're really not (even though it came off as annoying). :P Hopefully, we just won't have to revisit this angst again.<br /><br />I still think Rick is untouchable, I still got a little worried by the end!!! Poor guy! I was startled by Hershel's head; just, "Awww, we just had to see him as a walker, didn't we? *cries*"<br /><br />While Michonne still isn't one of my favorite characters or anything, I really appreciated getting some visual back story for her and I feel more open to her character on a whole now (I loved the very end, by the way!)<br /><br />I hope we get to see what happened to Daryl, Judith and the others tonight! Hopefully the group won't be split for too long but that might be too much as to ask. :P<br /><br />~JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203554335912426375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-38801600972819420482014-02-16T09:31:46.318-05:002014-02-16T09:31:46.318-05:00I largely agree - boring Carl scenes, better Micho...I largely agree - boring Carl scenes, better Michonne ones. As a return after a break, I thought it was a surprisingly lacklustre affair and relied on Carl being even more stupid than usual to get himself into scrapes. I like Kirkman as a comic writer on the books but think he lacks the subtlety needed for the TV version. he relies too much on characters giving speeches. Hopefully, things will bounce back in the next one, hopefully with some DARYL!!Child of the 70shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045667514712502457noreply@blogger.com
