The Walking Dead Series 2

From what I've read so far Sophia is just another kid who plays & talks with Carl. Weak character in the comic. Far better solution in the show. Maybe she becomes useful later but we haven't read that far yet. I shouldn't be reading this thread to avoid spoilers but just had to look. Bravo on the tv series.

For the first 40 minutes of the episode I was getting bummed out, thinking to myself, "Gee.. I really hope something actually happens

I was definitely surprised by the twist at the end.. there's certainly a lot of mystery behind that part. Who knows how things are going to play out in the next half of the season. Hopefully they get somewhere further than the farm at least.

She is apparently credited in every episode of this season or something like that. That makes me assume you're going to see her in flashbacks. I'm betting Jamie lee Curtis has a huge mental breakdown soon and doesn't make it to the next season.

Curious, now that it has been dealt with in the series, how do they handle Sophia in the comics?

From what I just read in wiki today (I was curious too) she was Carl's girlfriend.

Carl lost his love intertest (comic). Hard to spoil anything if they are deviating from the comic so much, which in my opinion, so far, has definately been for the better. Darryl is one of everyones favorite characters, who was never in the comic. Shame is working out well too (cant say how or why)
 
-Why are they still living in tents?

the conservative / fundamentalist Vet who owns the farm hasn't invited them into the house, they are just camping in the yard.

-Why do you need to go into the middle of a field to peel carrots?

same as above mostly. but having worked on a farm similar to that in my youth, I didn't see anything odd with where they were peeling carrots. We use to pick random spots to do random chores that were outside the main house's 'yard'... generally a few hundred yards from the building.
 
But couldn't they have found RVs or vans or anything more secure than a tent?

Sure - the farm itself. By all outward appearances it was a safe haven this is why they felt safe in teh tents. Sort of like their first spot outside of Atlanta in the first season..

That's why the characters had reacted is such a shocked manner at there being walkers in the barn - it was "safe" suddenly it wasn't..

bingo. as far as the group knew, the only one they'd seen was in the well. otherwise is was safe. thats why they wanted to stay there. it seemed so safe. seemed as such because herschel was rounding up the dead and locking them up. not sure when he found time for that with all the people there.

Herschel wasn't, Otis was the "walker wrangler". Now there's a job title for you! ......Next on "World's Worst Jobs!":D
 
Finally saw the last show last night and the ending took me by complete surprise. Shane's coming a bit unglued, which is understandable, and I was glad Rick was the one to do the deed. Fantastic show.
