It's totes supes obvi from their undefined sexually chemical relationship that those two are eventual gonna go down on each other. Of course later down the line when it actually happens people will be all "ewwwww guh-ross!!! where'd that come from??? they're supposed to be father and daughter!!!", ignoring the fact that their heat can literally be traced back to their first interaction with each other. Fuck I hate people.

And being drunk was no excuse for his behavior. He went back in the room and found out he wasn't dead. and put the bed in front of the door so the zombies couldn't get him. Or am I totally wrong? What's he supposed to do, carry an unconscious body through zombieland? Until we are in this same exact situation, don't judge!

He was freaked and close to getting shot - and then here come the corpses. He pushes the gurney up against the door, the only thing he can think of in that space of time, and runs. The writers must have intended this whole sequence to give Shane some slight aspect of sympathy - but why, when they then turn around and make him a near-rapist? Shane's been a hard character to follow on this show, but that could be because I can't get his comic incarnation out of my head. But life-saving gurney or not, in short in short order Shane fucks Rick's wife, knowing that Rick is either still in a coma, zombie food, or shambling around that hospital room in circles. But hey, whatever gets you off, I guess.

So it felt false. Still, it had its moments. I just wish they hadn't tried to go all LOST on us.

So it felt false. Still, it had its moments. I just wish they hadn't tried to go all LOST on us. I disagree. I've been worried about the divergence from the books, and honestly, this episode made me give them my trust that the show will work on its own. I think the whole point of this last episode was to prove, before the year break (remember the books had no wait so long), that things are way bleaker than they'd imagined. It makes sense to me. And the very end was awesome. I was crying! :p Poor black lady but to me it felt real; that was an easy suicide and in these situations people will opt for that sometimes. I don't give a crap if the windshield should've shattered or if their ears should've bled. I just care that the story is good and to me it was. I called it way earlier in the thread - the season would end with them driving away. Of course, I thought it'd be from their campsite like in the books, but still, I think it's a perfect ending for the season. They've just realise the situation is as bad as they could've imagined with even less hope than before, but they're going to trudge along and find a new place to try and survive anyway.

There was nothing to show she felt that way until the second she said it. It came out of left field and didn't strike me as honest at all. I don't know how the series ended in the book because I never read it; but the CDEC blowing to bits in the end did not seem like the natural arc. That said, it was often compelling. Though obvious, the fact that the test subject was the guy's wife was heartfelt and touching to me. The grenade inh the pocket, though ludicrous, was just random enough to be funny. The acting was good. I will definitely give it a second chance, and liked it. It just felt like a contrived ending.

Can someone just give me a yes or no if the comics explain this satisfactorily?

The way Jenners said France was the only one left, thought they almost had a cure, etc. seemed to imply at least the major cities are down. IMO humans losing to zombies is not as big a suspension of disbelief as zombies themselves. Governments and militaries are humans, they fuck up during disasters all the time, especially if they haven't dealt with it before, like zombification. I can at least buy the densely populated areas being fucked and abandoned, even with slow zombies and powerful military. It's not impossible to imagine. As for less populated and secured areas, with the main cast itself surviving in the forest, the father/son in suburbs, Jenners in his facility and even mexicans/old folks in the city, I assume there are plenty of survivors they're just in hiding. And running out of food/supplies/electricity.

Because of the lag in rising time I've been having trouble trying to get my head around how a large city, or even a medium Madison or Wichita, would be so quickly overrun - so if we go with the everybody's infected route that means that the 7,000 or so people who die every day were rising, and as I imagine a lot of people were like Andrea, embracing their recently deceased loved one only to get bit themselves.

Yeah, seriously. And how they kept asking for literally 5 or 6 minutes what the red clock meant. Like, what the fuck do you think it meant? Have people in Walking Dead world never seen any television show or movie, which would make it quite fucking clear that the countdown meant they were going to blow the fuck up. It was just tedious and dumb. I like how when the black lady said she was staying, they were all like "peace!" Seriously. I ed so hard once they didn't care at all about her staying, and then when Andrea wanted to stay everyone was all "omg noerz!" At first I was pissed that Jacqui was killed, but then I realized that if you look at her small, yet effective presence in the show you realize how wonderful her little story arc was. Since she was introduced, she was represented as a mentally stable caregiver amongst a group of emotionally fragile characters. Jacqui cared for T-Dog, Carol, and Jim at various points through the series. It was only fitting that at the end she was there to give her life to comfort an obviously damaged Dr. Jenner. Her character truly made a subtle impact and I think that is mostly due to the actress playing her. In her limited screen time, we got to know who Jacqui was through the amazing spirit that the actress put into her. I hope we see more from this talented woman in the future. thx Woman-Who-Plays-Jacqui!
