That's exactly what I'm getting at. They don't know that they can't bite anymore, they're zombies. They should constantly be trying to attack her. Yet they had a few feet of slack hanging on those chains..

In defense of Lori here. Her reaction wasn't necessarily off base. Rick never said "Shane came back, and was bearing down on me from behind, I had no idea. Carl put him down, if he hadn't been there, I'd be dead". The way he told it, for all she knows, he could have set there with Carl and help him set up his shot instead of taking care of it himself. Context would help everything quite a bit. I'm sure a lot of this will get sorted out before long.

We all know Carl has "hardened" a bit, but up until this point, Rick hadn't told him that he was the one who murdered Shane. Carl probably still assumed it was somehow zombie or Randall related. So when Rick finally divulges the info that he murdered Shane(again, doing so with poor context) Carl is not only horrified that his dad murdered him, but Shane also played a large role in Carl's life. From being his father's best friend/partner, to being his stand in father figure when Rick was believed to be dead. So the love Carl had for Shane has a lot to do with why Carl is so disgusted at the idea of his father murdering him.

He did SUCH a poor job of explaining things, and it's almost like he prefers it that way and doesn't care. Either that, or horrible writing yet again. Previously, Rick had been so good with words and choosing them carefully in situations like this. He was always thoughtful, deliberate and insightful when he had spoken with Herschel in the past. A bit odd to me.

Could be that he's just so pissed he doesn't have a cool head, or that he wants to seem like a maniac in order to command more respect.


My BIG problem is that all of a sudden that stupid bitch Carol is being an instigator. "How could he not tell us". Give me a break. It changed nothing, whether or not you knew, between then and now. Again though, Rick could have provided better context and explained that he didn't know for sure until Shane reanimated.

I too had a little bit of a problem with this. Whether or not they CAN bite you, won't stop them from trying. So when she stood there over Andrea, the zombie escorts, realistically would have been trying their damnedest to eat her.

Also, this whole thing ruins the "herd" theory for me. If they instinctively herd up, and mimic one anothers movement and objective, why then, wouldn't there be hoards of zombies falling in line with and mimicking her zombies? Theoretically, she'd be followed by a herd of zombies.

Well played sir, well played. I fixed it. Wow.

They have no jaws and arms. No threat.

That was a bad ass episode. Can't wait for season 3.

Yes but they should still be trying to lumber forward and eat her. Based on the zombie characteristics established by the show already.

it's explained in the books somehow, but I don't remember.

Yeah, kinda weird. Just have to suspend logic sometimes.

I love the character though. We've never read the comics and my wife and I were like, "Whoa! Who in the **** is that?"

Perhaps there's some new information about to be revealed?

I already posted the link to the comic. They only explain why she has them. It doesn't explain why they don't try to eat her.

Yea, I don't care much really. We could all over think this stuff to death. It's a fun show and pretty well made for the most part.

You love the character from seeing her for 3 seconds and you couldn't even see her face?

For those who have read the comics, I hope they bring along Tyrese...although Daryl almost seems like the new Tyrese, just he's white...

Hell yeah! She was bad ass with the armless zombies.

LOL.

Point.
Counterpoint.

Touche, sir.

She is a badass in the comics, btw.
