ohhhh… I missed that part! Gives me an excuse to go back and watch it again. 
Beth is Hershels younger daughter.
Carl [color=’#151515’]better not fucking tell Rick about Carol training the kids with the knives. More than anyone, he should know how important it is to learn to defend oneself against the walkers.
It doesn’t actually show it, I believe. I read it somewhere, so it’s not TOTALLY reliable.
Also, I totally agree Maxey.
How is teaching kids to knife zombies a spoiler? Is the show really that slow?
Not sure. However…
[COLOR=‘Black’]I found it interesting that the camera focused on that one zombie with the bleeding eyes. I believe that the virus (maybe even a different one) is affecting the dead, causing their brains to hemorrhage. This would make sense, since their behavior is becoming increasingly more violent, erratic, and dangerous (from what I’ve seen). Also, that kid at the end was bleeding from his eyes, mouth, and nose. Interesting fact to consider.
Wonder if that’s gonna be explained?
Hmm, not too impressed with the season premiere.
I mean, story wise it’s looking really interesting, but I’ve seen some things that “frighten” me a little regarding the direction the show production is going.
[COLOR=‘Black’]- Obvious repetition of certain shots (like that “bleeding-eyes-dude” mentioned above, he was shown twice with the exact same shot (didn’t even bother using different start-and-end-points))
- People obviously stabbing walkers above the head, but with “splotsh” sound-fx and some blood squirting from the backside of the head
- A lot of very obvious static walker-head-props that look as if they’re on a stick being wobbled around by a crew member (and no eye or mouth movement)
- The CGI bits were worse than usual (but that’s probably because they’ve never really done a crashed chopper that falls through a roof)
All in all I’m very curious about the storyline, but I do hope the production value will go up again in the next episodes.
Sounds like they’re having budget limitations. That kills shows.
Even if I don’t particularly care for this show, I’d hate to see it go that way.
Even with money being so tight, I still enjoy the hell outa it. It’s probably the only show I go out of my way to watch.
Ditto. Plus I for one am glad the comics are way different than the show. It offers the writers more space to grow.
And it allows for people who haven’t read them to go back and get a whole new expierence from the comics.
That and while I definitely think there are a lot of things the comics did better the comics still aren’t perfect and I do see a lot of things the show does better than the comics.
who is feeding walkers?
Slow people?
This episode was better than the first, in my opinion. Two interesting things came up: someone’s feeding the walkers and someone’s burning people alive. Could they be connected?
More importantly: is Carl telling the truth about his dad’s hat not being a farmer’s hat, or is there a different, more personal reason?
I think Carl is trying to win his father’s approval again, and it seems obvious somewhere in the recent past, Rick expressed to Carl that he was NOT happy with him killing that kid. The hat represents Killer Carl and not Farmer Carl, so in distancing himself from Killer Carl, he distanced himself from the hat.
^in turn, proving himself to his father.
This makes the most sense. Anytime he wears that hat, someone or something gets blasted.
Why didn’t they go back to woodbury instead of the prison?
Because everyone who isn’t arbitrarily defined as a main character is impossible to trust and probably pure evil.
Because the prison set was cheaper. Also I don’t recall if it was defined in the show but in the comics Woodbury had issues keeping its walls up and expanding. The prison was desirable (more secure and bigger)to the governor and in the comics that’s why the conflict erupted.
