He’s a lot more important to the group than the previous episodes have shown and he finally gets recognized for his efforts in this episode—talk about not realizing how important something is until it’s gone. Daryl stands by his “code” and doesn’t ditch his bro behind like everyone thought he should.<br /><br />To be honest, I don’t think Rick tried hard enough to get Daryl to stay but back at the camp, the group realizes just what an important strong player they’ve lost. Carol just couldn’t find enough ways to articulate it.<br /><br />-- topspot-official.blogspot.com --Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284011263403920462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161843010818006537.post-79289620223347096912012-11-20T01:14:09.167-07:002012-11-20T01:14:09.167-07:00Lovely to see the Galactica with her armor back on...Lovely to see the Galactica with her armor back on!Zinjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200551287961602904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161843010818006537.post-31051427649892120572012-06-20T11:10:41.252-06:002012-06-20T11:10:41.252-06:00The promotion for this film made it look freakin’ ...The promotion for this film made it look freakin’ awesome but also, a lot like Alien and I think that’s the big problem with the film. It’s pretty much the same formula used over again and even though Scott tries his hardest to get our heads past that, it’s too obvious, too quick.

As you mentioned it is difficult to nit-pick a film that clearly is having too much fun delivering an incredible adventure/action tale to be bogged down by missing elements or some touch that would have added even more. The Avengers is a rare movie indeed for its balance of story and action. I will be watching this again and again as well. How many films can you say that about?Jak Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913810148944995081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161843010818006537.post-74003247072781116682012-02-28T00:12:26.143-07:002012-02-28T00:12:26.143-07:00Thanks for the comment.

I don't blame the writer...AMC's budget cuts are really to blame for all this immobility. It was painfully obvious in 18 Miles Out that they blew their wad on the zombie carnage in town and cut most of the cast out of this week's to compensate. It did make for a really concise plot though... both Shane/Rick and Andrea/Lori scenes really worked for me.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10633721898286623320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161843010818006537.post-74307194599504691912012-02-26T21:09:19.275-07:002012-02-26T21:09:19.275-07:00The season has been in a funk, you nailed that on ...The season has been in a funk, you nailed that on the head, but I think the funk started to break last week, I mean after spending 7 episodes doing nothing it will take a few to get moving again. I find it funny that if Shane wouldn’t have sacrificed Otis to the Walkers, we could have known about Sophia and moved on 4 episodes earlier. I think we will see the show pick up the last 5 episodes of the season, because you are not alone in your voice. They really put the kibosh on the show this season. When it comes to the Lori Shane and Rick thing, Lori is the problem. She is driving Shane batty by not even acknowledging that she jumped in the sack with him when she thought her husband was dead. I mean I would think maybe better chance that the baby belongs to Shane then Rick. This will be interesting if they bring it to a head and pop it tonight and not drag it out for the rest of the season building up tension to have it resolved with a hand shake. You think T-Dogg will die before he ever has more then 3 lines in an episode? I have to admit the last two episodes have covered more ground then the first seven of the season. . I watched Trigger Finger again this morning on AMC’s page on DISH online, tell me the zombie peeling its own face off to get through the hole in the windshield wasn’t awesome because I had to watch it twice.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489967629180652983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161843010818006537.post-9192109437091733372011-06-25T11:41:59.901-06:002011-06-25T11:41:59.901-06:00Thanks.
