That truly wasn't my intention. I don't want to get that reputation in this thread as someone who rips this show every week but some stuff is so glaring I just have to comment on it. Like I said it was a pretty decent episode but the filler and useless dialog that leads to nowhere and just takes up time irritates me. I hope the new writer has more episodes like this one (did he do Clear also?) and we have more character development throughout more episodes.

Here's another reason why the writing is lazy. They arbitrarily change how far Woodberry is from the Prison. One episode it takes days on foot to get there, the next episode it takes hours in a truck. Last episode, Merle and Michonne left early afternoon were walking AND driving and they made it waaayyyy before dark. When Andrea was being chased by the Governor, she was walking/running both day AND night...but when she made the same hike a couple episodes earlier TOWING A FREAKING ZOMBIE WITH HER it took just a few hours!
This might seem like nitpicking but its just stuff like that stands out when the characters are just as inconsistent as the distance between the two major locations of the season (Rick's Behavior, Andrea's Behavior, Tyrese's behavior, etc). True, on the show "24" every place Jack needed to go was conveniently 15 minutes away, but at least the characters, drama and twists were better written, even in their filler episodes. Maybe TWD writers need to change the opening credits to a map like in Game Of Thrones.

Yeah that does stand out to me as well. I mentioned it after watching the last episode with Andrea running from the Governor.

Its a legit observation though. You didn't notice in Dark Knight Rises when Batman chased Bane thru the tunnel it was daylight and when he came out the other end it was night time
you can't assume people are making a b-line, or using the same route, between the Prison and Woodbury. I understand why people might call it "sloppy writing", but at the same time it doesn't present any kind of real contradiction that couldn't be easily explained
Yeah when you are in a rush to get somewhere ON FOOT in a world filled with Zombies, the best thing to do is take the long way or a route you've never been on before.
Y'all nikkaz complain about the sillest shyt man...its a fukking tv show...how do y'all cats enjoy fiction shows?
Carl STAYS disgusted with his pops. He's probably hoping that he and Asskicker are Shane's kid....
Anyone felt a bit of catharsis seeing Ben get clapped in the neck and later eaten by zombie Merle? 
I can def complain about bigger things on this show...but even at its worst the show is entertaining. Its a guilty pleasure. We just wish it was on the level of Breaking Bad and other better written shows.
