Rick "Motherf***in" Grimes Thread

[The Incredible Hulk]

C'mon now, police academy training and shooting at a still target don't teach you how to invade an armed fortress. That's beyond what most S.W.A.T. cops are trained for. What they did was like Seal Team 6 kind of **** with only a cop, a survivalist, a convict (RIP), and chick with a kitana.,

Actually that is EXACTLY what S.W.A.T. is trained for lol. They are trained to for Special Weapons and Tactics and it looked like they used some special weapons (smoke bombs, flash grenades, kitanna, cross bow, black convict) and tactics (sneaking into a fortress with a weak militia) to get into Woodbury.

You don't need a lot of training to know how to sneak into a town that is ran by people with even less skill as you. Also, I wouldn't necessarily call Woodbury an armed fortress. Yeah it is protected against walkers, but as Michonne said they could definitely get in.

I mean just look at whom they had protecting the thing. The girl with the bow sucked and she said she was the best and was sincere about it lol. If she couldn't hit a slow walker, not once but twice, what makes you think she could do anything against a group that took control an overran prison.

I felt pretty bad for him really. I mean locked up for so many years on drug charges, gets outside the walls for the first real time, and gets blown away by a shotgun. Plus he was again the victim of poor character development, although he did take down Andrew so he got points in my book.

[Midnight Black]

What's really messed up is that he was locked up this whole time and when he finally gets passed the walls he still gets shot lol. Even worse if he didn't even commit the crime he was in for.

[Elevator Man]

Agreed. An all b/c Rick was having a hallucination of Shane. Oh well at least the character died knowing that he did something noble. He did get Glenn over the fence.

[DarkSovereignty]

lol, I like how Black convict is listed as a special weapon.

I was reading about how the phone calls were done in the comic and the person who wrote the article was speculating on how well it would work in the show. I have to say, it worked perfectly. I didn't even recognize the voices until Lori's was really clear. It seems that while Rick has not officially relocated to Crazytown, he has been talking to a realtor.

Poor Rick, he needs some comforting. Dude has so much riding on his shoulders. He needs to stop dancing around his sexual attraction to Michonne and just get it on already.

It seems like Rick's training academy skipped the hand-to-hand training. His reaction when that walker grabbed him last night: "UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The second walker comes along, and his reaction: "AHHHHHHHH!!".

[Spider-Who?]

Heh, I'm pretty sure they don't train you to how to deal with two rotting corpses surprising you in the middle of a gun fight by jumping you and tying to eat your face off.
