was the younger man the son that was in tonight's episode? He asked to go along on the search? and there was young girl with blond hair, she came to get rick and said " my dad wants to talk to you"
I don't remember from the episode where they carried Carl onto the porch.
In the episode when Rick ran Carl to the farm house, the farm family met him on the porch. The younger girl in the ponytail and the young man never had a speaking part, not were they seen in the rest of that episode. They were not seen in the next episode either. It was explained in Sunday night's episode that the young man is (I can't remember which) a neighbor or friend. Doc said in one of the other episodes that his wife and step son were taken by the epidemic, but his daughters were spared. So, I am assuming all the women in the house are his daughters, unless one of them is his step daughter and he just has not given that much detail yet.
My thoughts on the episode this week. Sorry, it's long:
I was totally floored by the number of zombies in the barn. I was expecting 2, the wife and stepson, and perhaps 4 or 5 to include a few of the friends and neighbors he had mentioned in the other episode that had been lost. Never did I expect to see the entire community. How did they get all those zombies in the barn? That took some thought.
The doc is still acting very stern in his decision to not allow anyone to stay for an extended period. He is not liking his loss of control over his own daughters. He is already suspicious of Glenn and Maggie. He isn't feeling comfortable with his younger daughter and the young neighbor/friend being so close. He has reminded Maggie that the visitors are not staying. He seems to act like this is not the first visitors they have had. What do you think he would/has done with those who refuse to leave? Is he feeding the zombies? I keep thinking Glenn and this young guy in the house are treading dangerous waters and if doc knew what Shane did to Otis, he would be in danger too. If everyone makes it out of there alive, without becoming food for wifey and junior, I think the young man staying with doc, getting a little overly friendly with doc's younger daughter, just might be hitching a ride off the farm...if he knows what is best for him. If doc is feeding the zombies, it seems the only safe way to do so is to drag whatever up the ladder and chuck it off the loft. Since so far, the zombies need live food, maybe they are drugging whatever to get them up the ladder. Which leads me to ask about the preview for next week. What is that in the wheel barrow the woman is pushing toward the barn?
What's the deal with doc mentioning the antibiotics in every episode? I understand that in each episode, yet another in the group gets wounded, requiring antibiotics, but I have a feeling doc's verbal reminder might mean a little more. I still feel like he is hoping to save the antibiotics for the zombies or something. Then, I wonder about Lori. I don't think she wants this pregnancy. Of course, who would. Anyway, with doc having knowledge of drugs, I wonder if perhaps she might try to speak to him about drugs that could terminate a pregnancy.
Daryl is the man! That mini commercial cliffhanger was too much! he was so primal in this episode and Sophia's mom was like the encouragement he desperately needed. I see a special bond developing between them. I wonder if this will be more friend, mother/child, or romantic in nature? They really need to find Sophia. Carl needs to get better and someone needs to keep the guns away from Andrea. Shane is still going off the deep end. What is Glenn going to do now that he knows about the zombies in the barn?
Interesting observation this week: I assume that was the generator powering the house, but we have never heard it before now.
I can't wait for next week. If it is as good as this week, it is worth watching!
