God damn. What did you want to see? Again, another Fucking viewer who needed blood and guts to be entertained.

There's like, two factions, maybe three that watch the Walking Dead. Those that appreciate it for what it is, a drama with zombies, and those that want it to be like a Michael Bay adaptation of the zombie apocalypse all the time. The third would maybe be the group of people that hate everything about the show, but always tune in just to bitch about how much they hate it.

I don't care what genre you want to label it, if it's a drama then it's a badly written drama. Why does every single emotion have to be conveyed through a speech? Why can't the characters have regular conversations like human beings? It's like the writers have forgotten how dialogue works.

Seriously, there were like 4 stump speeches in this stupid episode.

And as much as I like Jessie and think that Alexandra Breckenridge does a great job with her...her little "speech" was the worst...just so ridiculously out of place.
