Chem was easy, that's nursing. To kill him correctly he should have actually said clonazepam at 75mg. Both were wrong route but what she gave was actually fine and wouldn't have hurt him!

I may be alone in this... but I hate the group jumping. It get sooo annoying. They should just Game of Thrones it and give a little bit about each group for the full length of the episode. Or extend episodes to two hours that way they'll have enough time for everyone

she didnt even stick him right. I would say the training program there is subpar at best.

Lol unless you become psychotic, suicidal, suicide attempt, detoxing off alcohol, opiates, benzos, ect, you won't be in my hospital! And don't worry, giving 75mg klonopin is impossible when the dosage is 0.25-1mg. A red flag should pop up in your head when you try to pull 75-300 pills out of the Pyxis machine.

Lol that too! If she was aiming for the basilic vein on the surface she went about 2" to deep with that syringe.

LOL yeah my wife laughed at that also (she works in medicine). So much wrong in that scene. I imagine if I tried hard enough I could work the stoichiometry out for the proper dilution rate, but.. nahh. Both medicines he indicated, Klonipin and Clozapine, were wrong regardless of dilution.

I'd put money Eugene's a fake. He's not unintelligent, in fact he's smart enough to keep people around him who will keep him safe. Perfect for a coward/weakling unable to adapt to the new world.

DCNISMO

The people I know that work in that type of NIH world, look nothing like Eugene or have mullets. He looks like a roadie for Night Ranger or Accept.

Jordo!

Overlooking the silliness factor of anyone thinking even a small group would only need one physician following a zombie apocalypse, the writing was better on this one.

On a related note, their socialization process made little to no sense... you don't have to guilt or coerce people into doing chores or giving "favors" in return for food when resources are scarce and its basically martial law (who are they "keeping up appearances" of civility for?)... accordingly, why not just let people leave if they won't play ball? That whole set-up was a little goofy...

Anyway, I suspect they are splitting up the groups to see if they can successfully develop that spin off show with totally original characters they've been threatening to make.

I mean, not that they kind of already haven't, but, you know, without having to even feign more than a marginal connection to the source material.

Well, don't forget where that whole side story goes... AMC might change things around in terms of the likelihood of he being for real (no spoiler here ), but in the end, it can't lead to a different outcome so...

I'm just waiting for Abraham to headbutt Of course, he doesn't win that fight...

No activity?

Well, FWIW, I thought they did a really good job with a really awkward plot -- the Eugene is a fraud thing is from the comic, and kind of a lame plot development (although Eugene is a pretty good character overall, and he gets more interesting and useful later on), but it is what it is.

The show did a really good job fleshing him out -- but enough with the commentary on his mullet. Once would have been plenty. It's the zombie apocalypse. Who cares if he's business in the front and party in the back?

Although I still think Abraham should have been cast as someone a bit more physically imposing, they did a good job justifying why he only busted Eugene in the face rather than put a bullet in his head. Should be an interesting trip back to Rick and company...

I was surprised they dropped the bomb about Eugene immediately -- a good decision, I think. Dragging it out for a whole season (AMC's previous strategy) would have been terrible. After a whole season on "killer flu" and another on "lost in the woods", I really hope they just stick closer to the comic. I like that they are fleshing out the comic storyline without tons of deviation, fixing weaknesses in the original story rather than creating new ones with random plot tangents.

In general, much better, AMC!

I dont really think much of the guy that plays abraham, he looks like he was a country music star that nobody ever heard of.
After shane I dont think they wanted any other badasses, I havent read the comics though so I don't know whats to come.

DCNISMO

Slow episode last night, but setting things up for them to go save Beth for mid-season finale. least we know Carol was not faking being injured when she arrived sat the hospital.

Jordo!

Overall, I liked the pacing and their recent use of very, very dimly lit, cramped scenery to ramp up the creepiness factor.

Carol's character continues to be inconsistent, but they can't change what they've already had happen, so all they can do is try to keep buffing the dookie...

On another note: The latest trade paperback of the comic series just came out and the story is getting very, very good again. Looking forward to AMC getting around to dealing with

We quickly discover that the are really
