    Did they pull it off? Do the comics justice? Thoughts? ;)

    I thought the scene was poorly done. But, I'm glad they did it. It could have been done better though. It felt awkward.

    I thought the filming was weird. It felt like a dream sequence, but I guess maybe that was the point?

    I was saying the same thing. It really was dream sequence -like.

    Felt Andrew Lincoln's acting was subpar in that scene compared to previous seasons. Lori's death anyone?

    The scene didn't seem real i thought it was like a fake at first. I do agree it was poorly done...But it still was a pretty good episode in my opinion.

    Ron should've been swarmed by the walkers the moment he pointed the gun at Rick. He was acting like an asshole, not a walker. :Grin:

    It seemed really weird to me. It would have been better without the Jessie flashbacks, in my opinion. It just kind of pulled me out of the moment a little because they rarely ever do that kind of thing, Walking Dead tends to be a little more in the moment.

    Kind of surprised Michonne killed Ron but that's really it. Was just expecting him to get swarmed and then fire as soon as he gets bit. Don't really care though. Felt like this is the best comic to screen adaptation we've seen in a while.

    I think it felt out-of-place because they slowed things down. I guess they feared if they went too fast it'd be too overwhelming.

    I think Jessie shouldn't have been bitten, but was dangering the group with her screams for Sam. She consequently refuses to let go of Carl, thus Rick delivers the blow and THEN she is consumed by walkers. It'd justify Ron pulling the gun on them. I know he was incredibly dumb and a kid, but as a viewer it's hard to empathize with him when his mother was already dead when Rick hacks her arm.

    Well, it didn't take long for the arm-chair writers to come out did it?

    I liked the way it was done. Yours is pretty good though.

    I never said she wasn't? I'm saying how it could have been done better.

    Idk, it just made Ron look even less intelligent. I didn't think it was possible lol

    I didn't really like the Jessie flashbacks either, because it felt as if they were spoonfeeding us too much. We already know how Rick feels about her and don't need to be reminded so explicitly. If the camera had just remained on Rick's face as he was watching her get attacked so that we could read his shifting emotions, that would have been more effective, imo.

    I also thought that Carl's bullet wound looked too perfect, compared to the comic where it took out some of his face, not just the eye.

    But I'm nitpicking. Overall, I really liked the sequence. I literally screamed when Sam got eaten, even though I pretty much knew it was coming.

    Yeah, it felt like deja vu, but not done as well.

    It didn't go exactly as I had imagined, but I will probably have to watch 10 more times before I decide how I really feel.
