Still

This is the twelfth episode of the fourth season of the Walking Dead. I'm surprised this is the lowest-rated episode in the entire series so far, but then again people don't seem to like filler episodes. I thought this was an excellent character-driven episode and it highlights at a possible thing between Beth and Daryl. The screenplay is excellent as both characters have meaningful words to say.

In this episode, "Still," tensions arise between Daryl and Beth as they try to figure out what to do next. Beth decides she wants her first alcoholic drink, as Herschel never allowed her to have one.

Overall, this is a vastly underrated episode. Sure it lacks on the zombie violence, but this is more focused on character development. We see a new side to Daryl, but it's nice to see more of Beth whom we haven't seen in many episodes as the leading figure. I rate this episode 9/10.

Why do people watch this show?

These last episodes (8-13) of season 4, have been the best episodes since season 1 and some occasional good episodes in 2 and 3. But then I see people hating on the 12th episode "Still". We finally have some good character development, since Andrea, and I see people hating on it. Makes me wonder who are the people who watch this show? Little kids who only want to see zombies beaten up?

It's a zombie series and that is the point for sure, to kill zombies. And I like good action, but it's gets overwhelming at times and the action scenes HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN GOOD recently.

Episode 12 "Still" where is not much action if not at all, gets a rating below 7. But every other episode 9, 10, 11, 13 gets a rating over 8. All those episodes have same good character development, but episode 12 doesn't have "action" in it, is immediately hated. I can't understand, because the action in those other episodes is horrible. There is always the same pattern, zombies' brains are plastered and the the character in question kills the last zombie in anger, first knocking it down and kicking it. Maggie does that and new blonde soldier fella' (who was in Band Of Brothers). Same boring, meaningless, and and tension lacking action scenes repeated over and over again. And one episode without those bad scenes gets a bad rating?

This really makes me wonder for what reasons people watch this show. Are people really so dependent on their weekly dose of zombies' brains blown away, that they freak out when they don't get that dose (the case of episode 12)?

I watch this show because I care about the characters and want to learn more about them. Action of course is expected, and I mean GOOD action, not these lazy action scenes that are in there just cause they have to be in there.

The relationship that Daryl and Beth build in this episode is amazing. The acting between the 2 is phenomenal.Very good writing also, it had my full attention the entire episode. Still trying to figure out why it's only at a 7.3/10 ?? I ranked it a 10

Easily one of the highlights of the 4th season. It's not big on action but it's such an important episode for Daryl and Beth as characters - one of the strongest character development episodes of the series.

Some people says excelent character development in this episode and I must agree with them. Finally we focused on Darly. He wasn't talk too much like the others. He was always a quiet character. I shocked when I see the rating. What the hell? Really? 7.2? It must be 10 of 10 because we finally see some goddamn emotional speech. Darly Dixon is the best character in this show in my opinion. After that episode, its proved itself. Beth was so cute too. I felt I watching my little sister on screen... I can't understand the hate this episode. It was the best in the season since 8th episode...
