The longer into the episode, the more pissed off. I'm bad about watching for this type of thing anyway, and after the first season, I thought maybe i'd be spared. The whole brother encounter and "the statement" made me rise from my chair. I'd given a pass to the God talk/ belief at first, until the old guy was being portraited as an isolationist and control freak....like he led a cult or protecting his flock.....The last scene, barnfull of zombies, justified my fears.....
So the new writing crew has placed thier mark on the show.
