What did you think of the promo for next week? I don't mean this to be a smart butt. I'm curious what you think of Beth and Daryl being a featured group again. Do you think this episode might prove to serve a greatest overall purpose?

 

As for the promo, I'm guessing they are focusing on the groups that don't know about sanctuary, so Glenn and co. might show up at some point. I don't think they really plan any relationship for Daryl. I do feel both of them are safe for now.

I think the season is all going to tie together nicely. I'm not surprised they are holding off on the Carol storyline because it has the potential to be explosive if held off until everyone is back together. Or at least a couple groups. We shall see.

BTW, it was perfect but last season of the True Blood was MUCH better then the last couple. I quite watching for a good while.

 

I thought this episode was great. It was nice to see a little bit of Season 1 Daryl come back, lol.

But I still hate Beth though. Probably even more now. If I was the showrunner of TWD, I would probably just have her killed off in a similar way to how Shumpert went out. Meaning that she would not have a death scene like the respected cast members. I would just write the details of her death in future dialog. uh huh!

How should Beth die in this scenario??? Simple. Daryl shares a story with some newer characters about how they found Rick, Carl, Michonne and Tyresse, Carol and the girls. Beth was so happy that she decided to dress up as the Easter Bunny and do a little singing musical skit to entertain the group.

AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE!!!! Lizzy comes up from behind and slits Beth's throat.... from ear to ear. I rule.

 

Ha. Well, I just think it would be too obvious after tonight. I have a feeling the death/deaths will come from Maggie and Carol's groups. Which seems pretty common guesses here.

If you remember, I thought the synopsis was a joke, even thought I was looking forward to an episode with them two. I ended up really liking it but I understand people's frustrations about the unresolved plots. I really like Carol and it is frustrating when they took her out of the show right when she had her best material but I do think it will all work out well.

Oppps, typo. "wasn't perfect." But yes, it's much tighter and focused.

 

I'd attempt to counter your points, if you actually made any valid ones. But until then

 

Well, I have to disagree on this one. Must say I haven't been a big fan of Beth - wasn't too impressed with Emily Kinney's acting and thought of her as a background player (and wondered why she still remained on the show), but after watching last night's show, my opinion has changed. Kinney was very impressive in all of her scenes, imo. All she needed was a proper storyline to give her the chance to show her acting ability.

And I found the episode itself to be a powerful one. No, nothing groundbreaking was revealed about Daryl or Beth's character in terms of their pre-apocalytic lives that viewers wouldn't already have assumed, but it was the psychological aspect that the script took which gave "Still" an impressive quality. I love that the writers brought together two such contrasting people - one from a rather sheltered, but loving home life, the other from a loveless, hardened background - and had them clash, then stop and really listen and see one another. This was a great example of character development. It wasn't heavy-handed, it wasn't boring, and it was extremely well-written.

 

Only thing I didn't really like about this sode was the Beth wanting to drink thing. It was really funny actually. Golfers booze up right?

The beginning was nice. The ending was fine, shesh they flipped off a house they burned. Big woop. I'd probably wave my dick at the fire, would you rather of made daryl do that? :Grin: The best part was the emotion spit forth from Daryl even if it was filler or something we already knew about them. It made the episode. Don't know why people keep bringing up OH THIS SCENE WAS A PREDICTABLE THIS SCENE WAS PREDICTABLE THAT HAHAA THIS EPISODE SUUCKS. Shows are predictable all the freakin' time... Dumb excuse if you ask me.

It wasn't the best episode but I really like Daryl in the Forrest trying to catch food and shit. Feels like real survival. Skinning that snake and eating it. Oh I love that.

This was probably the best episode Kinney has done on the show and yes it isn't saying much. Despite my hatred for beth and the little thing with the alcohol , she was better than expected.

 

[MENTION=26142]Caryl[/MENTION], I'm thinking we need to enact a little violence against women here and give you a sexy spanking. I mean come on, how could you dislike beth? Next episode Daryl finishes the rest of the moonshine and convinces young Beth to do the hanky-panky.

I feel like I understand your mind of negativity, because it's easy to get caught up and be comfortable finding things you hate in everything.

So we'll just give you a spanking this time and call it even.

- wolffe out

I liked this one a lot.
We really get to see Beth as who and how old she is and something tells me we are being setup for them both to play bigger parts soon from this one.

If it was predictable then I was surprised at how well she was the predictable teenager growing up in the ZA and how well he trudged through his old dead end being hopefully into something new.
