Meh , tired , scared and revealing his own prejudices .

Playing the victim card? Interesting idea, Ser Amirault.

Kurt Schlichter still doesn't like The Walking Dead.

I love this comment.

I've figured out a way to acknowledge the TSTL (too stupid to live) issues and still enjoy the show:

When the Zombie Apocalypse began, the military, law enforcement, and all rational strong warrior types (Tea Party, hunters, etc) went forward into battle to save humanity. We all eventually died or became the Zombies. Those that remain were the comatose, or the chickens hiding in mommy's basement. These survivors ARE the idiots who survived by accident not by strength and guile.

This story is exploring the question of whether the idiots have it in them to "get smart" before they all die.

Sure, it's a stretch, but I really want to like this show, and this is the only way I can.

I know kelliejane (whom I follow on Twitter) adores Kurt Schlichter, but cheese and rice is that guy stupid when it comes to entertainment.

I think when someone goes Left vs Right 24/7 they can't see the forest for the trees .

Anyways - I'm entertained .
Joy and I watched it again last night .
We both favour Darryl .

We both favour Darryl .

He seems to have the best survival instincts.

Skills .
Lost skills .

I have a BiL who'd be the blacker version of him .
He pretty much kills everything he eats .

You guys are silly. We discussed some of those very concerns of his here in this very thread. 

I think they could have taken five minutes to go over basic gun safety and used the term "point and click".  And he's right that there are far-better vehicles out there than an old Winnebago. 

And I still think the deer scene was pretty dumb, but then I've actually been deer hunting (unlike the writers, probably).

I knew somebody was in for it when I saw Robert Kirkman wrote this episode. Dude is like a unhinged version of Joss when it comes to killing folks and making life miserable.
