Well if you want to get technical most western fiction in any form comes from the Greeks. So nothing new has been written since Thespis 534 BC. I don't let it bother me. Gilgamesh had zombies too and that was way back in the 13th century B.C. and the Greeks stole from the Persians, Egyptians and ancient Sumarians.dogbane wrote:Gingerbread Man wrote:So y'all are trying to tell me TV is a lie?

*Stolen from "Apocalypse Now" which was stolen from Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness".
It's a vicious cycle.

On the 'Death by Tyreese', I agree. Carol was looking for a way out.Evan the Diplomat wrote:Yes, Tyreese forgave Carol, but he just saw Carol put down an 11 year old girl and her sort of surrogate daughter. That is a living hell that Carol will carry for years.
Nice! You can't stop the signal...RickOShea wrote:

I have to say I thought the same thing when I saw the episode too. But sort of gave them the pass, considering what they just went through emotionally. Can't really expect them to be overly thoughtful and considerate at that sort of time.Hoipoloi wrote:How irresponsible was that to not close the fence when they left?
They were fortunate that it was already closed when they arrived and probably saved a lot of clearing up before staying there. Not a care or thought for those that may want to use that house after them

Never go to Tvtropes.com. There is literally no story or plot device that hasn't been done a dozen times over some where.Gingerbread Man wrote:Anyone else face/palm on the "Of Mice and Men" moment? Lizzie/Lenny? Look at the bunnies/flowers? One round to the back of the head. Yeah, that's been done before.
Stories are meant to be same thing over and over again, that's actually kind of the point of them. Before writing that's how you shared history and culture; by telling the same stories over and over around a campfire. How many of us have heard somebody say, "No you tell it, you tell it better" in reference to a joke or story that everybody already knows?RickOShea wrote:Meh, everything had been done over and over again, ad nauseam.
I'll rewatch a movie sometimes with the "Director's commentary" turned on. You always hear stuff like "here's the Jaws moment in our movie, where our protagonist finally gets a good look at his nemesis". Or, "Here's our Highlander moment where our Hero just strides through the battlefield looking for the biggest, baddest foe to fight". Joss Weedon's commentary on The Avengers was almost a constant stream of how he took "this scene" from "this movie", and so on.
I noticed it too, but I thought it looked like she deliberately tossed the fencepost wide, as opposed to just forgetting. It was like she'd rather have the place filled with walkers than have some other group unknowingly take refuge in a place so chock-full of bad juju.ineffableone wrote:I have to say I thought the same thing when I saw the episode too.

Carol leaving the fence open was the same as Beth and Daryl burning down the moon shiners house. Just trying to erase a bad memory.Bubba Enfield wrote:I noticed it too, but I thought it looked like she deliberately tossed the fencepost wide, as opposed to just forgetting.

I loved Tyrese's line "The whole world's haunted now."

I hope Daryl didn't give up on beth and looks like Rick pissed off another leader...ineffableone wrote:
Also interesting hearing Joe's telling of the encounter with Rick. I have to say I really don't like Daryl with Joe and crew. They are not a good influence on him.
Yep, just wait till he gets to Terminus, he will probably piss the leader off there too, he seems good at pissing off other leaders.ausher wrote:I hope Daryl didn't give up on beth and looks like Rick pissed off another leader...ineffableone wrote:
