What'd everybody think about The Walking Dead? My thoughts behind spoiler tags:
It really did scare me a couple of times this week. The herd of walkers going through the high way was suspenseful and very, very scary/creepy. Also, I did NOT see the end coming (the deer getting shot, with the boy behind him). I like the tension between Amy and Whatshisname (the older guy) quite a bit. I don't know how I feel about the idea of people wanting to split off from the group.
I could not watch the part where they opened up the walker to find out if it had eaten the little girl. That was too much gore for me.
Overall, looking forward to the rest of the season.
HIMYM:
Found this week's episode a bit of a disappointment. Hate, hate, hate how they're using the therapist angle with Robin's new love interest. This week, it wasn't just on an inaccuracy level, it was on an annoyance level. I WANT Robin to be happy. I WANT her to be with a good, funny, nice guy. Can we do that and manage to not make Kirsten crazy in the process? That remains to be seen.
Also, you know what? I'm tired of the pregnancy-centricness, actually. I mean, it's funny and all, it's just -- I don't know. It feels trite-ish? Like they aren't exploring or dealing with absurdly funny pregnancy things? ::shrugs::

There's another glimpse of sky...
There's another way to lean
into the wind, unafraid.
There's another life out there...
