Wow! I'm having trouble seeing my monitor through the fog on my glasses! Yes, steamy romance has come to "The Walking Dead" in the form of Boy Scout Glenn and Farmer's Daughter Maggie enjoying a little afternoon delight in the pharmacy, and it was hot-hot-hot!
This episode also featured what may have been the least hot scene ever on "The Walking Dead." I'm talking, obviously, about the bloated, clammy, slimy, deformed zombie down in the well. I dare anyone to watch the scene when the survivors' plan to pull him out of the well falls apart without making some kind of noise. Mine was like "awwwer, awwwgh, oh!"
There wasn't a whole lot in terms of plot development in this episode, and less carnage than last week when 20 zombies got what was coming to them.
The fruitless search for Sophia continues, and Lori took a pregnancy test that yielded a positive result.
She didn't look too thrilled with that news. I guess the big question is: Is she upset because she doesn't want to bring another life into this godforsaken world, or because it's Shane's baby? You could also be like, 'What did she have a knife for?' But I wouldn't read too much into that. I think she had it either to open the pregnancy test with or to slash some walkers to death if they tried to bother her while she was going No. 1.
There is also a little storm brewing between not-so-hospitable Hershel and mayor of survivor town Rick Grimes. Hershel seems to think the gang should mosey on down the trail when they find Sophia and Carl heals up, and Rick is like "Dude, WTF?"
It's kind of out of character, too, because Hershel is supposed to be an agent of God and helping his fellow man and all that, but then he's like a celeb at the end of an episode of "Cribs," like "All right guys, that's my crib, but now it's time for y'all to peace the hell out! Now get to steppin'!"
Hershel is also kind of being an idiot about this whole gun thing. He's making all the characters turn in their guns because it's his house and his rules. Umm, Hershel? Rick and Shane are policemen and they're trying to serve and protect you with those guns!
I think ol' Hersh needs to watch that episode of "The A-Team" where the guys come to the aid of a colony of pacifists, and the pacifists are like, "Hey Hannibal, protect us from these bad guys, but don't use any violence," and then by the end of the episode Hannibal is like, "Hey man, you can live your life how you want, but we have a right to kick ass!"
Come to think of it, Hershel is really starting to get on my nerves. Hey Hershel, you hypocrite, in the zombie apocalypse no one owns houses and pick-up trucks. Those things are to be shared by all, like the mountains and the sky. And when are they going to wrap up this whole Sophia thing? I'm ready for them either to find her as a little zombie girl and do the thing that must be done, have a joyous reunion, or just let that whole subplot die. But please, stop dragging it out!
Finally, Daryl shows his soft side, giving Carol a nice flower and telling her a story about the Trail of Tears. The type of flower? A Cherokee Rose. Full circle...
