Not liking something does not equal "jumping the shark." I think people throw that phrase around too much.
We went through this a while back, but if it turns out Lizzie killed the adults the show will have committed a gross continuity break. Carol did it.
I think the only way you can hide under a walker is if you do it before the next one sees you. Daryl hid T dog on the highway that way too. The ones that piled on Rick later in that episode with shane and the kid (18 miles out i think) and Carl in the last episode had already spotted them and they were still moving.
I think Michonne can pull off her act because the nearby Zombies mask her smell and that since they aren't bothering her, the rest won't swarm. Everybody stays cool. But once she starts making moves and killing them it sends them into a frenzy like kicking over an ant bed.
I'm fine with the following points that they've established with Michonne:
1. Zombies can be enslaved or used as pack animals if they are disarmed and disjawed (a new word)?
2. Zombies won't attack if she has enslaved zombies nearby as they are effectively masking her scent
3. Zombies wont' attack if a person is covered in zombie blood
What I'm not OK with is the fact that these points have never really been discussed with the larger group or used as a strategy by anyone other than Michonne. In one of the episodes, Rick was baffled that Michonne was able to stand amongst the zombies without being attacked and I don't remember it being mentioned again. You'd think that it would be used as a survival tactic. I understand the need for dramatic tension, but there are ways that you could use these ideas and still get into trouble. It would make more sense than every episode being "oh, damn, zombies snuck up on us again".
Also, about Lizzy, maybe you all are right. I insisted that Nicole killed Hope and Brady's kid on Days of Our Lives until long after it was established that she didn't, so I've been known to be wrong.
It sounded like nephew to me as well, but Many said it was in that field... I watched the episode again and listened very carefully - It could be mistaken for Nephew or field... But I do believe she said field... Her voice wasn't really clear...
I would like to know how she knew Glenn's name... Wedidn't hear him tell her, unless Hershel mentioned it when he was kidnapped by the Gov..

I agree with those points, some of which I've mentioned bugs me, but because I do enjoy much else about the show and because, well, I've accepted the zombies themselves, I've had to let it go in order for my brain to just keep enjoying the mayhem. Not saying I don't still do a lot of eye rolling and wonderment at the writing at times, but, unless the zombies start flying, I'm managing to manage my irritation. and still look forward to each new episode with great anticipation.

I thought the name thing was a bit odd too, maybe we missed something, but then, they let that accent of Maggie's slide, so who knows what's going on with the people they hire to catch such mistakes.
I hate the way theyre gearing the show to appeal more and more to the fanatic comic book readers, I never read the comics, and have no plans to ever read the comics. I think this show just jumped the shark
If you have never read the comics, how could you know if the TV show is gearing towards or away from them?
I never thought about Lizzy being the possible killer and Carol taking the blame but I can see it now. That little girl is a psycho!
I've always thought it was Carl that really killed them. After all, they keep eluding to the idea that he thinks Rick gives people too many chances. Also, I thought it was very out of character for Carol to do it. I thought it would be interesting if Rick had to confront it was his own son AFTER he exiled Carol for the same thing.
Another thought. Maybe the idea is that most kids that grow up during the zombie apocalypse are bound to be sociopaths...
