» Thu Dec 16, 2010 9:51 pm But I do have one nitpick about the episode “Guts”
I have always been a fan of realism in my fantasy. The idea of undead zombies taking over the city is about as realistic as me skipping the next Superbowl to watch Oprah. However, if all other aspects are portrayed in all their actuality then I can accept whatever outrageous plot device gets thrown into the mix. If someone TIVOed this episode and can correct me I’d appreciate the correction, but if I did see what I thought I saw then it is either a major goof or a profound piece of character development. (I would be immensely impressed if it is the later :bowdown: )
Spoiler
The scene where Rick first meets the survivors and Andrea puts the gun in his face and threatens to kill him. It’s supposed to be a tense moment and everyone in the scene is advocating for calm and civility, but I was distracted by the fact that her finger was not even on the trigger! I can accept the idea that she is so divorced from the concept of fire arms to not know how to operate the safety, but to not know about the use of the trigger is entirely different.
Although to be fair I don’t think any of the actors hold their guns correctly, especially for trained shooters. But I’ve long since given up on the idea that an actor portraying a skilled marksman would ever receive and utilize actual marksmanship training prior to filming.
