First two episodes of the second half of season 2 have been awesome. I think you guys have closed the books on this show and are comfortable with continued hating regardless of any changes/developments.

I think one of the biggest reasons this show still has some lolwtf pointless scenes is the writers are having a clear dilemma with how to involve female characters in a meaningful way. They clearly see female characters as dependents and not strong for the survival/hunter/do what it takes skills necessary for this world. As a result, all female characters are emotionally driven impulsive characters who do nothing but create complications for the male survival characters. This couldn't be more evident by Lorrie's (sp) actions in the last two episodes. They should try hiring someone who doesn't have a dick or at least watch The Wire on how to write strong female characters.
