The Positively Positive

The Walking Dead “Tell it to the Frogs” Season 1 Episode 3 – Life sure is complicated when the world has been overrun by zombies. Not only do you have to hide away in the woods so that you don’t get eaten, you also have some really tough interpersonal relationships, too.

First off, we were all wondering about how Shane and Lori got together and why she thought Rick was dead. Now we know it was because he told her that. We’re still not sure why though and that’s something I’m very curious about. Was it because he always had a thing for Lori and took advantage of Rick getting shot and a zombie apocalypse to seduce her? Or was he told Rick was dead by someone else?

Secondly, things come to a head when Dickson’s brother gets wind of what happened in Atlanta. Not willing to leave a man to die out in the elements from thirst, Rick decides to go back for him but Lori isn’t happy. I can’t blame her but at the same time it made me admire Rick even more. Talk about integrity, this guy is dripping with it.

Meanwhile tensions are high in the camp as there are more than a few unlikeable folks in the group, including a man who abuses his family. People who would never spend more time together than passing each other in a grocery store aisle are now living together in a community and like it or not and they need to start making some rules about what is acceptable behavior. Shane may have been taking his anger out and gone too far by beating up the abusive husband but his point was still valid, in my opinion.

My favorite bits….

Dickson’s slow descent into insanity interrupted by seeing the dead trying to break down the door. Okay I know what I said about this guy last week but no one deserves to die like that.

Glenn passing the truck, still having a great time in his Challenger. LOL, I love him.

I’m with Carl. Frog legs? Ew.

Glenn justifying drawing attention to their position with “I got a cool car…”

Bawling like a baby when Rick was reunited with his family.

Rick telling Lori that he knew they were alive.

Realizing that was Rick’s ring that Lori was wearing around her neck. I don’t know why but I hadn’t figured that out, I thought it was hers and that he still had his.

Glenn’s disappointment as the “vultures” stripped his car. Oh man, that would suck.

Finding it pretty horrible to watch them all kill that one lonely walker, especially when the head kept moving. Wow, I guess they really do have to get the brain or they won’t die.

Shane diving between Rick and Dickson’s brother.

Shane clarifying that he did indeed mean “douchebag” when speaking about Dickson.

Lori and Carl telling Rick they didn’t want him to go.

Realizing that Jim is the same guy who played the “family dog” in Friday’s episode of Supernatural. Huh, small world.

Rick telling Shane his bag was like the bottom of an old lady’s purse. Does that mean he’s got some butterscotch candies in there, too?

Shane telling Rick he didn’t like what he was doing, but giving him bullets to help him out anyway.

Carl telling Lori not to worry because nothing had killed Rick yet. Aw, that was awesome. What a great kid.

The ladies questioning why they’re the ones doing all the day to day work. Yeah, good point.

The ladies discussing what they miss the most and two of them deciding they missed their vibrators the most. LOL!

The sight of that handcuff and the hand next to it and knowing that Dickson decided to take off his own hand. Holy cow.

So what did you think of the episode? Got any favorite bits of your own? I’d love to hear from you!
