Why the muffling? Doesn't make sense. You're reading way too much into this. It was all TV theatrics; seeing the eyes and brains pop out. He didn't pull the trigger. Then a moment later Deanna clearly knows Rick has a gun.
I'm much more puzzled with the Glenn story line. Can't tell if it's bad writing/continuity or actual plot development.
To which I'd have to ask: have they been watching the same show? Rick shows up meeting with one of the two pieces of his argument (which he's been preaching since they showed up, for ~6 episodes). Walkers he killed inside the safe area.
The second piece, bad people, shows up in the form of Pete and slices Reg's throat. There isn't a better "example" for Deanna, if she was doubtful before she's completely sold now.
Am I the only person that is beginning to dislike TV serials? Far too many become successful, yet don't have the artistic integrity to go out on top, so everything just gets stretched into tedium. I feel even many good serials often outstay their welcome for me, and could stand to be a season or two shorter.
Just re watched John Adams, which really drove home those feelings, as it shows how much can be accomplished with 7 pre-planned episodes, with the creative team knowing that's all they get to tell the story. Side note: Tom Hooper needs to shove his dutch angle, shaky cam, close ups, right into his ass hole.

Who did Rick shoot?
Either way makes sense. Kill the killer or kill the dead/dying before he comes back as a zombie and potentially kills someone else. If you do the former you prove your point but no longer have a doctor. If you do the latter you still prove your point but keep the doc alive as a tool for future use.
I really think it could go either way and proximity of others doesn't even factor into the equation. After all, a lot of these guys can snipe head shots from a mile away with a sling.
It can't go either way. Watch the clip again and pay attention to how Rick faces Deanna at first (who is cradling Reg's head), and then he turns away from her to fire away from her.
He shot Pete. No ifs ands or buts.
OTOH, my dad finally started watching Lost, just finished season 4 (despite me telling him it "ended" at the end of season 2 ). I told him not to get too invested in getting answers or closure. For me, the last few seasons were pretty stretched & the ending made it so I never wanted to re-watch the series.
What made Lost so great was that it was more than just a show. It was the first 'event' I can remember that basically became a weekly conversation to the level we had in Lost. Deep analysis done by internet sleuths, forum discussion, water cooler discussion, etc.
Not sure if anyone will ever be able to replicate to that level or not.

Lost was still interesting, even when it became clear the show was kinda random. I rewatched it last year, and the ending didn't bother me as much as it did when it aired. In fact, a lot of things that bothered me about it when it was airing didn't seem so bad the second time around. It holds up well, probably because it was never clear until mid way when it actually took place, and there were flashbacks and time travel.
I doubt I'll watch Walking Dead again when its done, although watching one after another is probably the best way to watch this. But then maybe that might be repetitive since the show kinda of runs in circles. I have a similar feeling as motsm...the show is probably going to overstay its welcome.
well yeah, because you know what happened already...
Yeah I actually really miss that. TWD isn't universally watched due to the gore factor - a lot of people don't realize there's a really great show underneath the blood & violence. But Lost, everyone from the boss to the secretary was watching that stuff. We were all googling the clues at our lunch breaks & reading up o the lastest theories, it was great :thumbsup:
Even as ruthless as Ricks group seems to be, the finale had 3 different arcs that all had them being somewhat more civilized than the townsfolk.
Glenn getting shot and beaten by coward dude. Then turning the tables on him and then not killing him. Sasha for nearly losing it on Gabriel. Rick for letting the townsfolk see what they were up against if you try to make bad people just leave.
Carol was the puppet master of that scene though. Dance Puppets Dance.
Actually, I forgot a lot about what happened aside from some really big moments. It wasn't like Star Trek TOS where I remember all the details about every episode. The only thing I remember was not liking Kate. But as I watched I started to remember what annoyed me about certain things, but it didn't matter. Probably because I didn't have time to stew on any one plot point, just move on to the next episode.
Even the Nikki and Paulo thing which I remember received universal hate, I actually enjoyed. Probably because I've grown to like that actress.
Well, since she looks like Janeway, I think she will act like her and get all self righteous next season and say it was a mistake, they are above that, yada yada, until the next time its convenient for her to change the rules. Probably when the Wolves start killing her people, but after she tries to reason with them.
