    One of the worst episodes out of any episodes from a television series in the history of television series.

    I guess I'm not very astute. I just saw on the Talking Dead that the hangers in the CC were killed by the staff. That explains the tag on one of the bodies "Rich Bitch." Had no idea what had happened when watching the episode.

    This episode only solidified my dislike of Daryl. Such a stereotypical redneck. I think Judith has more personality then he does. Maybe Beth has some potential as a character, I remember when Carol was boring and just there to drive stories off of, seems that is where Beth is. But Daryl is a lost cause, 4 seasons in and he hasnt changed one bit, except he doesnt have his motorcycle now.

    Problem with this show is that it never goes anywhere. I think they should have really deviated from the comics and tried to have some endgame in mind.

    I thought it was one of the worst Walking Dead episodes yet. When I heard it was going to focus on Daryl and Beth, I thought "Uh...ok...every separated group has had an episode...this is just another".
    I think the premise was there. Daryl and this young girl realizing that they both had repressed childhoods...Daryl not becoming anything while following Meryl around, and Beth not being able to grow up like most teenagers.
    It COULD have been done right. It failed miserably! Daryl's drunken outburst was one of the worst things I've seen in a some time. Then, them burning down the house that was otherwise safe to walk through the woods in the middle of the night out of some rebellious "fu" to everything? image
    These "group episodes" should have really focused on character development and to some extent it was done fairly well with Michone, Glenn...hell...and even Carl. This was just awful!
    At what point do you think Daryl bangs Beth? I was waiting for it all last night....cute girl who wants to drink...all by themselves? Dude...Daryl....get on that man! image

    I bet that fog is actually smoke from the fire that Beth and Daryl set.

    ah, interesting. i like that! definitely a good way to link up those two groups. which is good, because maybe maggie or sasha will give beth the bitch slap she deserves.

    started reading the second compendium over the weekend and almost done with it. abraham's character might have became my favorite in the comic book world, hope they really focus in on him moving forward. after really diving into the comics, i am actually pissed daryl is even in the TV show as he isn't in the comics. what was the point in adding his character? to gain interest from female viewers? guy adds nothing. there is so many plot lines in the comics that it's insane to think the TV writers were strapped for ideas and had to create the daryl/merlee storyline and character development.

    blah!

    Was that a mountain goats song?

    The episode was disappointing. It could have covered the same ground in half the time and we could have seen some of the others.
    I did not think it was quite as bad as some here did though.

    Seriously, Daryl and Beth prob just started a Level 5 Forrest fire. Where's zombie Smokey the Bear when you need him?
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I think she was 16-17 when we first met her on the farm. So 18-19 now... :-bd

    Yeah, I know they were apparently drinking...but I don't get the logic in burning that down. I mean, they had a safe place to stay! It was the middle of the fn night...ok now where do we go? image Walking through the woods full of zombies in the middle of the night. Smart move! That, and the fire would (or did) attract zombies in the past.

    Whoever wrote or directed that episode should be fired. Just awful!
