The Walking Dead Ep 5

S2E5 - "Chupacabra"
The script writers really need to come up with a better name for the episode titles. The crew still haven't found Sophia, the lost little girl in the woods. They send out a search party once again. Daryl takes a horse to scout further out. Rick and Shane have another morality conversation in the woods in which Shane says its a waste of time while Rick doesn't want to give up hope. Daryl's horse flips him over a cliff and he gets punctured by his own arrow. Poor guy has a will to survive and a natural instinct to do what is necessary to achieve it. However, with his wounds, he fails multiple times to get back up the hill. After he fails, he is knocked out and starts hallucinating. He sees his brother, whose name escapes me, and starts talking to him about how he's pathetic. Merle (thats his name) kicks Daryl and tells him to get up. He wakes up just in time before a walker takes a bite out of him. He pulls out the arrow from his body, shoots the walker, and eats a live squirrel. Talk about being a badass. He eventually gets over the cliff and walks back to the farm. Unfortunately, the way he walked looked like a walker, and the blonde bonehead shoots him with a sniper rifle, despite Dale telling her not to shoot. Luckily she missed and Daryl didn't die.



Never ride a horse in a zombie apoc.

Wake yoself up son

Lets shoot that incoming thing that looks like a walker

Why do they make them so pretty and dumb?

The Walking Dead Ep 2-4



S2E2 - "Bloodletting"
Honestly, nothing happens in this episode. Rick brings Carl to a farm where they can find help. The other crew continues to search for the lost little girl but find nothing. The vet tells Rick that he needs to operate on Carl in order to save his life. They need medical supplies. Shane and the guy who shot Carl volunteer to go to the local high school to grab supplies. Shane and Otis get trapped inside.

S2E3 - "Save the Last One"
The caravan crew and the farmers finally come together. They still haven't found Sophia. Lori and Rick contemplate on whether or not to perform the surgery on Carl, since the world sucks. Nothing really happens and in the end Shane comes back from the trip with the medical supplies--alone. The vet saves Carl's life. In the end, it is revealed to us that Shane killed Otis in order to escape from the horde of zombies when they were being pursued. However, he lies about it being an accident, that Otis sacrificed himself.

Thoughts - Shane had two options when he was being chased by the horde. One was to die together with Otis. The other was to turn on the guy and save himself. He chose the latter. However, he could've done it better by shooting the man in the head, instead of shooting him in the foot and causing his death to be much more painful (eaten alive sucks). And you have to wonder... if they had that much time to fight against each other before the zombies caught them, are you sure they couldn't have gotten away together?

S2E4 - "Cherokee Rose"
The crew finds a walker inside one of the water wells. Since they didn't want to contaminate the water by shooting it in the head, they decide to drag it up and then smash it. But honestly, if it already been down there for that long of a time, it probably already made the water bad. The geniuses decide to get the walker out of the well by using Glenn as bait. They almost get him killed because they couldn't support the rope. They successfully tie a noose to the walkers head and drag it out of the well. Ironically, the walker ripped in half and the lower half (guts and all) fall back into the well. Lori asks Glenn to get her a pregnancy test from the local pharmacy. Glenn goes with Maggie and when Maggie saw him digging through the condoms, she initiates sex. Back home, Lori cries when she finds out she's pregnant.

Thoughts - 3 things really happened: the ugly walker in the well, Glenn getting laid, and Lori is revealed to be pregnant. Glenn getting laid was awful. It downright made Asians look bad. He was the typical virgin nerd who didn't know what he was doing and got lucky. Lori is pregnant with Shane's kid and only Glenn knows.


Who woulda thought a single rope wouldn't hold him?

"Good thing we didn't do something stupid like shoot it - TDog"
