thoughts on beth-carl? i feel like they have purposely been really vague about aging (or super-aging) the younger characters. kinda bugs me...., wasn't beth married to jimmy? and at that point carl was approx. 11 yrs old? i know it's the zombie apocolypse but does that make it out for an early twenties woman to bed buddy up with a preteen? not in my book. i feel like that is where the writers are taking this. maybe it's just a friendly relationship, i hope so. i have the comics but i refuse to read beyond where the tv show is, but this beth/carl thing is killing me! the way this season has been portrayed has in my opinion leaned more toward theatrical/comiclike/soap opera-esque than the previous seasons which seemed to have a more realistic overtone. don't get me wrong, the storylines have my full interest, i just feel the protrayal through writing, cinematics, as well as acting have kind of changed gears. my boyfriend who is a fanboy nerd thinks it's much better but i feel the show is losing some of it's mass appeal. i am sure a lot of people don't see the importance of having mass appeal but i really want to see this series play out indefinitely, or as long as the comics keep going.
