[S2 Spoiler] First time watcher giving my thoughts on each season. Time for Season 2!

Season 1 thoughts here.

Alright, so Season 2 is in the books. One of the benefits of shorter seasons like S1 is there’s less need for filler time. I feel like some of S2 could have been trimmed down a bit, but hey they needed 13 episodes. Anyway onto the thoughts:

  1. Why was this farm okay? None of the others are, but this one is? They don’t seem to have any sort of reason for why. There’s the one scene about the walkers not making it through the creek, but unless they’re on an island, that doesn’t make sense.

  2. Get some Glenn!

  3. When I first saw the note from Glenn about doing it in the barn I thought “oh they’ve got walkers in the barn” but then I went “no wait! I bet they have Sophia in the barn and they’re trying to hurry them along so they can raise her.” Then it turned out to be walkers and I was like “oh that’s boring”. Then they killed them all and I was like “well alright that’s done.” Then I went “oh shit!”

  4. Shane, Shane, Shane, Shane, Shane. Tsk tsk.

  5. Lori is being a real Kate (I told y’all I was getting Lost vibes).

  6. They really need to work on continuity errors. They can be pretty jarring. One example: After they shoot about 20 walkers in the barn, they bury 3 and burn like 6. Where are the others? Wasn’t a very big fire for how many cane rambling out of the barn.

  7. In my previous post, I mentioned some issues with the timeline, mainly that it was 5 months that Rick was in a coma with no electricity running his machines and no IV. Others responded that there’s a later reveal that it’s only about 4 weeks. I pointed out all the evidence suggesting it really was as long as I initially thought. Well there’s new evidence in 2.10 to support me. In the talk between Rick and Shane, Shane mentions it all started with vague reports on the news and then 2 weeks later all hell broke loose and the military was killing civilians. Add that with Jenner’s numbers (194 days total and 60 since it went global), and it definitely appears that the hospital flashback was closer to the 194 than the 60.

  8. Daaallleee NOOOOOOO

  9. It’s really cool that they never run out of bullets unless they’re about to shoot each other. Hershel’s 60-shot shotgun is an engineering marvel.

  10. Man I’m tired of Carl. It’s really no offense to his actor, but child characters are just so hard to write well and pull off. It’s obvious that adults are writing his lines, adults are telling him how to act, etc. There’s a reason so many shows go out of their way to avoid having kid characters.

  11. Well the RV had a good run.

  12. So now they can turn without being bit or scratched? Just die and poof you’re a zombie now? “We’re all infected” isn’t a good explanation because others had died without turning before. But Shane turns within 30 seconds?

  13. Uhhhh badass walker handler? I can dig it.

  14. People gripe about SPOILERS descent into madness in Game of Thrones, but Rick’s is pretty unbelievable, too. Maybe he’ll be normal again for S3.

Anyhow, that’s all my thoughts throughout the season. It skews toward the end of the season, with a lot of them just the last few episodes. Agree with me, yell at me, tell me I’m pretty, whatever you feel like.
