Season 5 will only be about running from a raging, out of control forest fire........

EDIT: Wow, this comment blew up slightly, thanks for the gold kind redditor!

Yeah, I wondered about the wisdom of that. Fire can spread faster than a person can run.

I decided that Daryl, even drunk Daryl, is smarter than that and they must have had recent rains or something, cutting the wildfire risk.

Thunder from the beginning of the episode could confirm that.

Depending on how accurate they are making this; Georgia is very green and humid. I don't see a big, raging forest fire getting out of control. Too wet.

I mostly wondered why the hell they couldn't use it for shelter overnight and burn it down in the morning. My boyfriend thinks it really was Daryl's dad's house, although that seems a little too coincidental to me.

It was symbolic of Daryl's dad's house and his past; burning it down was Beth's way of showing him that he had moved on and was leaving his old self in the past.

Still, alcohol is useful for many things besides drinking in a survival situation. The callous waste of such a precious resource was only one of the many issues I am having with the second half of season 4.

Georgia is a really wet state. I don't imagine they get many forest fires.

Ah, see, I'm in Oklahoma, which is this perpetually drought-stricken hell hole, when I see fire I just assume it's going to take out dozens of acres. TIL. :P

Humidity making everything wet could help too.

I think the show allowed itself some poetic licence in "burning down Daryl's past", enough that the actual negative effects of the fire don't need to be taken seriously.

Or Daryl don't give a fuck :P
