Did you remember to watch it? I thought it was possibly the best episode ever, especially the last minute or so (no, I won't spoil it).

Oh my! I saw that coming from at least ten minutes out, and was fully expecting it, but it was filmed so skillfully that it was a complete surprise when it happened. I suspect the director spent some time brushing up on old Clint Eastwood movies for pointers on "how it's done" --that's how good it was. Definitely THE best scene in the whole series to date.

What WAS unexpected, though, was the reaction of the other major character in that scene--or, rather, the complete lack of reaction. Just 24 hours earlier, he'd have pitched a fit. Now, nothing at all. Oh, yes, he has changed.

Spectacular comeback for a series that at times was seeming to have lost its way. Still Snakeworthy, at least for now. ;-)

Yep; concur on the "best episode" call and while I cringe at some of the tactical decisions that get made (or not), it's still one of the best things on the tube currently.

I think we can look for everyone to do stuff totally outside their characters this season.

I have it on DVD and will be watching it a few hours from now. Looking forward to it. Thanks for making me squirm in anticipation, Snake.:evil: .......

Do remember to DVR "talking dead" at midnight great after show

 

[threefeathers]

I enjoyed it. Good shooting.

Watched my DVD this afternoon.

You know Snake, I suspect you may very well be right, I saw an element of ....shall I say, "Dirty Harry" there. Yup.

And also maybe a little of The Man With No Name, Joe Kidd, Pale Rider, Josey Wales, and so forth.

Yep. When I saw that scene, I told my wife, "Damn! He's a pretty good gunslinger."

I think the next 5 episodes are gonna be killer (pardon the pun).

Oh, by the way, I've got a question for the rest of you following this show.

Now, didn't Rick give his Python to Otis just before his ill-fated trip to get medical supplies?

Rick still has his Python. Did I miss something (quite possible), or is this a continuity mistake?

 

[Snake45]

I got to thinkin'...one of the IPSC or other shooting competitions should have a stage based on this week's episode, called "Rick's 7-10 Split." From the leather, one shot on a standing target, pivot 180*, two shots on a "sitting" target--all done one-handed! Might be hard finding a range where you could do it safely but if you could, what fun!

 

[Casual]

My IDPA range has left and right ports that normally use 4-5 targets. We'd just move the starting position forward so a safe180* can be achievable.

 

[Snake45]

Rather in-tense episode last night. Looks like the long days of yak-fests at the farm might be over.

The old Doc made a pretty darn good pistol shot against that one goober. Who knew he had game?

 

[IrishCop]

Ol' Herschel had no problem handling that SIG. Maybe we'll get some back-story that reveals he was a Viet Nam era Marine or SOG member or something.

But the best, and most unexpected scene (for me, anyway) was Lori's manipulative plea to Rick to get rid of Shane...permanently. mg:

Appears to me Shane lied to the wrong lady.

TAPED IT -- didn't watch it; beware those spoiler alerts!!!
But interesting news on Lori and Hershel....

Here's an idea, Tommy. Don't read this thread on Mondays--you can pretty much assume we'll be talking about the latest episode.

Is it Monday? Then this thread is an automatic SPOILER ALERT!

 

[WaltGraham]

I read it, I knew there were spoilers and I can't wait to see it...

Everyone else hereabouts except me apparently got the day off due to the 2 inches of snow we got yesterday...

Damn, Walt. Thought I was the only one with the Luck o' the Irish!

It really doesn't matter; I will be watching the show this afternoon.
I just like to stick my finger in the puddin' a little....

 

[WaltGraham]

Damn, Walt. Thought I was the only one with the Luck o' the Irish!

So, that's what that means, my lineage is Scots - German - Cherokee...

 

[Snake45]

Anyone else notice that last night's episode picks up from POV outside the bar shootout of last week--and we hear three shots fired? Last week, five shots were fired inside the bar.
