I have no idea why I continue to watch American Horror Story. Absolute garbage.

Hmmm.......do tell.

I also am enjoying Terra Nova. Not as good as some of the shows that have been canceled, but its not the worst either.

The last few episodes have involved the "plot" more and have been somewhat better.

Dexter with the predictable reveal but worked where I thought I would be disappointed. Hate having to wait a week now and wish I didn't see previews for it.

Homeland tonight a filler or did I snooze through something important?

As boring as this season has been, that was one great "mid-season" finale for Walking Dead. There was closure, the scene between Shane and Dale was tense as could be, and Rick finally stepped up and showed that he has the balls to do what needs to be done to lead.

It gave a motive for why Brody would want to attack the US

Definitely a step up, but I still feel like they are going about a ton of things the wrong way after reading the graphic novel, maybe that has officially skewed my perception of the show forever now...

Great point, rewatched it now.

Wow!, Boardwalk Empire got real dark last night. I hear it gets even darker the final two episodes.

Agree that was a pretty good episode.

The Sophia reveal was also pretty good. For some reason I never suspected she'd be in the barn, so that was a good "oh s***!" moment.

 

Couple of gripes my wife and I talked about afterwards: What ever happened to the black guy and his son that Rick was supposed to talk to every morning? Are we supposed to forget about them? And why hasn't Rick revealed what the CDC guy told him? You'd think in a "are zombies capable of being saved or should we just shoot them all" debate, whatever he was told would be somewhat important.

Seriously, how did no one suspect that

she was a zombie in the barn

? I didn't hear that rumor even once, and it suddenly seems so obvious. They got us good.

 

I'm utterly baffled by what the CDC guy must have told Rick. I assumed it was about Lori being pregnant, but Rick seemed genuinely surprised by that revelation (not so much about the relationship she had with Shane, though). I'm also not sure where they go from here. They obviously have to leave the farm eventually, but there really isn't much reason for it to happen now. I would assume that it is suddenly overrun by zombies, just like at the quarry.

 

And I can't stress how cool it is that Rick finally stepped into the driver's seat in that final scene. He was too soft up until that point.

That was awesome.

I was torn by this. I think it would have made more sense for Shane to do it. He went all crazy and that could have been his "oh s***, i'm as bad as they are. Dale was right" moment. Instead Rick stole that just for what? To show he can make a tough decision? Eh.

I dont think that kid was really Nazir's son, it was just set up to manipulate brody. Maybe thats too much of a conspiracy.

To show that Shane really isn't the badass he makes himself out to be. When it came down to it, the only guy who was fit to make the hard decisions was the guy leading the entire time. I think it puts everyone in their places and fits perfectly into what they were trying to make Rick the entire time. If you noticed, people were starting to lean more on Shane this season. His whole macho act was understandably fooling everyone. But when it came time to make the tough decision that a leader has to make, only Rick had the balls to step up.

And Dexter...oy. What hope they got out of me earlier in the season has completely been destroyed. It's basically a soap opera at this point.

 

The part where Debra was explaining to her therapist all of the crazy s*** that's happened to her, I couldn't help but look at that scene as someone who had never seen Dexter before. And when I did, it just cemented how f***ing stupid and unbelievable the show has become. I don't think I can do another season of it.

And Manny f***ing Horvitz.

Agreed. I liked how they handled that.

 

I also was not expecting Sophia in the barn. When it was clear there was another zombie left to walk out, I thought it was going to be Herschel's wife. I'm really surprised they didn't make a point to show her getting put down along with Herschel's reaction. Oh well.

Well, it'd be sort of difficult to do that, as we don't know which zombie was his wife. It might have come off as contrived if they tried to make one stick out of the pack as his wife. I finally figured out it was Sophia when you could hear another zombie after the pause.

I suppose that makes sense about Shane, though the reverse is that he's the only one with the balls to make the decision to not mess around with a barn full of zombies.

 

And yeah, I thought it was going to be Herschel's wife with Shane having to make a decision about whether to kill a pregnant woman (and the ramifications of that - would the baby be infected also)? Same (and better) idea with Sophia though.

Herschel's wife was pregnant? I didn't pick that up

gotta feel for Rick.

leaving Sophia, only for her to turn into what he was protecting her from. The only one mind you to go out and help her not get killed. And in the end he's the one to take her out. Awesome scene.

Yeah pretty sure Herschel told Rick that in their big talk in the house. I thought it was odd too since he's so old. Maybe I heard it wrong.
