Go ahead, but you might want to read the post I was replying to, and the definition of "age of majority"
Yeah I did. The post where you argue that womanhood is relative to age. It's not. Teens are physically, scientifically not adults.

Another point: I think the director is assuming that we realize there are conversations happening between the characters that we do not witness. For example, Michonne could have (not realistic, I know, but there's the possibility) filled Glenn in on a few things while they were waiting for everyone to come back. Michonne wouldn't have known Carol's name but she did watch everyone's reactions when they saw Carol for the first time after Daryl saved her. Michonne and Glenn were sitting there for several hours and the thought that they just sat there in silence for that whole amount of time seems far fetched.

I've just rewatched and noticed something that I didnt before.
At woodbury after the smokebombs went off Andrea was yelling for Daryl, it almost seemed to me like she was trying to follow him and rejoin with the group. Thats when she found Hailey's body, maybe she's changed her mind then? Maybe she thought her group has changed after she's seen them killing a little girl?
I'd like to speak for the evolved male contingent and say that, yes, the actress who plays Beth looks like a 15 year old that just popped out of the womb and there's nothing sexy about that.
If they are female humans of the age of majority, then they are women. Regardless of what you think of their choices.
Also, keep in mind that these women you know are not living in a ZA. As I said, that changes what women will look for in a man. Lumber jacks would be far more valuable than lawyers and accountants.

lol. Okay, yes. I'll concede that in a ZA lumberjacks would be more valuable and attractive than a lawyer or accountant. But not more valuable or attractive than a cop, firefighter, paramedic, engineer or farmer.
Wait are you saying, "It is the time of the ZA, and lumberjacks are not okay." I am deeply disturbed by that thought.
Sorry just a Monty Python moment.
I thought it was a really good episode and am glad the show is back from the break.
Daryl was awesome as usual, especially when he took his crossbow back. I, too, heard Andrea yell for Daryl. Andrea has been driving me nuts this season with her stupidity but I hope it all turns around and she redeems herself in the best way I can think (killing the Gov).
Why would Michonne know that Andrea used to belong to this group(before Rick made it obvious)? Maybe she would know, maybe she would recognise the names..but that isn't confirmed so I"m not going to jump down her throat just yet.I keep hearing about how Andrea should have all this loyalty to Michonne after all their time together, but Michonne was willing to risk Andrea being killed, not just once, but twice now, just to what, keep from telling people Andrea is in Woodbury? Oh, I can see how that would be such a difficult decision, NOT.
I think Rick has more emotionally to deal with than anyone, and on top of all that, he has the responsibility for the survival of the entire group hanging over his head. Andrew Lincoln has said it before - Rick is the type of person who punishes himself when bad things happen, even if he couldn't do anything about it. So everyone they've lost, in his mind, they are on HIM. And losing a parent isn't the same thing as losing a spouse...when my Dad died, I was able to come to terms with it much easier than my Mom. And that doesn't even count the destruction of his marriage through Lori's "betrayal" or him killing his own best friend. Carl didn't kill the man he looked up to - he killed a walker who looked like the man he used to know. That's different than driving the knife into your best friends gut and watching the life go out of his eyes.(after having your best friend try to kill you)I also am having a difficult time following Rick's meltdown. It just doesn't make that much sense to me. I get he's been through a lot, but so has everyone else, especially Carl, and he seems to be maintaining reasonably well. It doesn't fly with me someone with Rick's background and the way he has been portrayed is so fragile.
Yeah, I counted about 30-odd people around. I assume some are up on the walls ... or, ya know, maybe hunting around for more walkers inside. I found it kind of preposterous that three walkers could wander around Woodbury that long and not be dispatched, or even noticed. And, how did the guy who got bit get caught by one, out in the open like that?Ok, finally got a chance to see it last night and will rate it a B+. One thing caught my eye, when everyone at Woodbury was gathered around the Governors house for Andreas speech, did anyone else notice that (A) there were far less people there than i imagined, and ( A lot of them were women and children. I didn't really notice a super lot of manpower to protect Woodbury and or protect Woodbury and go attack the prison. I only saw about maybe 10 guys carrying weapons. I think the majority of the people in Woodbury are unarmed. Just an observation.......
By the way, please note that Maggie has now killed someone else. She has now killed two people. She killed one person with the bone in the last episode and now she shot this girl. So she’s becoming quite an accomplished soldier, and without any hesitation.

Oh, and the thing about Rick? We have to remember that just a year ago, he was a cop - not someone who regularly shoots and kills people. He's had to do it a number of times now, and he's becoming pretty cold-blooded about it, which I'm sure kind of messes with his head and sense of identity. Remember, in the first two seasons, he'd still tell people "I'm a cop." I don't think he's said that this season.
On a related note, I don't like the aplomb with which Maggie is shooting and killing people. Mazzara mentioned it in the EW interview:
If anyone should have a break down, it's her.
Mute Michonne makes no sense, yes. If she doesnt want to open up or even introduce herself to these people, she should leave them. Really, she should have already left. If shes so debilitated by her lack of trust for others she would have long ago left them. But yet she stays and doesnt speak. The way she acts now is against human nature. Speak or leave.I love TWD, and as a result I appreciated most of the last episode (for example, Herschel, Rick, Carol and Tyreese were great). However, as someone already said in this thread, a lot of things seem rushed/far-fetched to me:
* Andrea talking to the people in Woodbury... no "pathos" there, the final reaction with hugs and kisses seemed totally unrealistic. I thought that Laurie Holden is maybe getting tired of how the writers are treating her character...
* Mute Michonne: enough of this, it makes no sense. She wants to be kicked out of the prison? If it goes on like this, she will go away and in a couple of episodes nobody will even remember her.
* Glenn's rant: I didn't understand his point, nor why he's not talking to Maggie at the end of the episode
* Daryl going away: it seemed rushed at first, but thinking about the character, I now feel that it made sense. I still hope he'll be back, though.
* In general, the episode seemed like a collection of scenes not very well glued together (and all trying to be full of emotions... with some failing to achieve that).

I don't think anyone that we've seen is under the same conditions as Rick. And being a deputy doesn't prepare you for the apocalypse.
