In general, they underdevelop their characters, and last week's episode is a prime example of how that [expletive] happens. With the Rick v. the Governor stuff reaching fever pitch... they decided to spend 2/3 of an episode on a dude they haven't even mentioned in 2 years. I'd like the show a lot more if it was slower and spent more time helping you care about the characters. As it is now, 90% of the cast might as well be named "Zombie Target #1", "Zombie Target #2", etc...
Disagree completely. Last week Michonne "developed" by having more lines than she's had all season, showing some semblance of a sense of humor, connecting with Carl and bonding with Rick over being crazy. Rick developed by showing that he's not as far gone as Morgan yet and has learned to somewhat rely on others to help him deal with his visions. That, unfortunately, along with Glen and Maggie sneaking a quicky in some dark corner of the prison is about as close to character development as this show has ever gotten.

This week had zero developments, character or otherwise.

It also sated my desire to see them at the very least address the fact that ammo isn't laying around on the ground randomly and in plentiful amounts like we're playing multi-player Goldeneye up in this piece.

That, especially, was extremely pointless, one of the most pointless scenes I've seen in any show that I watch.
I'll disagree with this. So much of this show is about how everything sucks and is going to [expletive]. Which is fine, because it is. But it's good to see characters enjoying themselves once in a while and see that they have something to live for. Or Beth could sing to everyone again, I suppose.

Anyway, Maggie was almost naked, so I'll take it.

Not sure how many other fans are on here, but the Veronica Mars movie raised $2.5 mil on Kickstarter. The goal was 2 million. Anything could happen but it looks like they're doing it.

Yeah. Best new show since Game of Thrones. Given that Homeland won last year, I'll be disappointed if it's not at least nominated next go round. Because it's wayyyy better. Also can't remember being this good right out of the gate for a long time.

Haven't seen it yet, but it's way up there on the will watch list.
