The show is largely about how ppl deal w/this reality. Most of the time, they do a kind of shitty job with that, like with Rick's arc over a few seasons. Then, they throw in some blood n guts to keep ppl who are really just interested in zombie flicks interested. W/e, it is what it is
As I've said before, I think they show isn't all that great. But, these last 2 eps did ok in showing ppl that can and can't deal with it (and really, the Dawn arc, as well). You pretty much knew Tyreese really didn't have what it takes to survive. The life he wanted and tried to lead was incompatible with survival in the ZA. But now, everyone yelling at their tv for him to off that fucker from Terminus in the cabin knows why he couldn't, what weighed on him every time he had to confront the shittiness of the ZA. That's why I thought it was an ok ep.
This week, I thought they did all right showing how surviving the ZA is the long fight. It's a long road and it's shitty traveling. Ppl you care about will die. You're probably going to die. You want to die. But, you keep going, doing what you have to do (bark! bark!) and you live your shitty existence with the help of good ppl. You all do your best and keep going and sometimes random good shit happens. Pretty rare, tho.
I mean, we the audience know all this stuff, the show really isn't all that deep. But, I thought showing some of the characters finally coming to grips with it (especially Darryl who, even after dealing with Merle and his upbringing, never showed this) made it an ok ep.
W/e, shit's about to heat up, anyway.
