The Walking Dead 4.2 "Infected" (spoiler alert)

[Ahnehnois]

It seemed an obvious dramatic conceit that the fence was about to fall and everyone was madly pushing it up...until they ran off to enact the pig plan and the fence was conveniently fine for long enough for them to do that.

The pig deaths are more upsetting in a way. Because they're not human, the censors let through more graphic elements. They screamed a lot more than the humans usually get to on this show, and that sound naturally affects a human listener. And, of course, it's a reminder that pigs are sentient creatures with emotions and killing them is upsetting, just not something that people usually think about. It seemed like Rick had a hard time doing it.

It is also a reminder that most modern humans don't slaughter their own meat. There's a reason you don't name livestock...

Yes, she said carrots on the show, but if you look closely, there is a stream of red on her shoulder as well. However, I re-watched that scene specifically this morning and the "stream of red" is actual Beth's beaded necklace, which happened to be red.

Heh... the first time I saw that scene I also thought it was blood. Glad to know I'm not the only one that made that mistake.

That said, if there were no swine flu possible, they could have done what Merle did last season - play the music loud in the car and have the walkers slowly follow them.. drive another 15-20 meters, stop, then drive again, stop... etc, etc.

This was discussed during The Talking Dead. While it's one way to get the zombies away from the fence, it can also attract other zombies. Additionally, it can attract other humans, which they really aren't too keen on doing.

Waste of bacon if you ask me.

The back was possibly infected.

What the hell is wrong with you? Only Canukistanis and Brits would make such a silly statement where bacon is concerned.

And people who weigh less than 350lbs.
