How long is a really long walk? Neither of us have issues with walking around, but it's tough to tell exactly where everything is just looking at a map.

I'm not so sure the hotel is going to be too much more than the place we sleep. I'd imagine we will want the good food options and a solid casino attached, but we will probably be all over the place while we are there.

Yeah, it's definitely the latter. The wife is having a pretty stressful year and she really needs to get away for a bit. I suggested we do a trip of some sort as our Christmas gifts this year and it has quickly taken on a life of its own (don't worry, she'll still get some actual gifts on Christmas too). Strangely enough, I mentioned it to some friends we haven't seen since we moved away from Boston last summer and now it sounds like they're going to join us.

The wife and I are planning a trip to Vegas, probably in February. We're probably looking for a middle of the pack place to stay when it comes to prices. I'm sure many of you have plenty of experiences with the area. Are there certain hotels we should definitely check out or avoid? I'd imagine we'll wind up staying on the strip so we're closer to everything. We've never been there before, so we have no experience with those hotels. Thanks in advance.

Again? That implies he was ever off the stuff.

What exactly would be a case of someone going at the legs of a defenseless receiver? The only thing I can think of is one where they jump up to catch a high pass.

What if it's George Zimmerman or one of his fellow white Hispanics? There's more trouble brewing.

When are leagues going to realize how stupid fan voting is? Actually, a better question might be when they will realize how pointless the all star game itself is.

I can't think of anything a team needs less than a 3 foot tall grinder. We still have one year left with him too.

Of course it isn't a concern to the GMs. Their only motivation is winning. The media is the one who wants the game to be watchable, so obviously they are worried about a lack of scoring. It's the people above the GMs, the one who make the money who should and most likely do care about the scoring.

I hope not. He should not be seen until the very second they decide to go with his iconic moment.

Except that the wolf was in there alone with the town's doctor. No matter how badass Carol is, even she has to realize the value of someone with medical training.

I'd love to know why he didn't kill anyone. I'd imagine that a gunshot would attract walkers, but is he even aware of the chaos outside? If he is, ok, it makes sense. He can't overpower 4 people. And was I the only one hoping that Tara/Rosita would quickly shoot him in the head when he had the knife to her throat?

With the reputation Carlo had for being made of glass, that was not the first injury of the year that anyone would have expected. Ouch.

Where is the rest of the town? Tara/Rosita rescued that one guy (Tobin?) right at the beginning while Mullet was standing in the background. Then flash forward slightly and they're saving Mullet, but no sign of the previous guy. There are too many people in that town who have been unaccounted for in the last few episodes. Aaron? Heath? Spencer? The armory lady? The woman Abe rescued at the construction site ages ago? I guess it's good that they didn't randomly kill a few more of them this week, but they have to be somewhere.

Is this the first half season stretch they've had where not a single person from the main group died? They're definitely killing the "no one is safe" vibe. I know the red shirt thing is so cliche, but this really has fit that label perfectly. Even the annoying part of the group in Gabriel has been untouched.

One death in the entire episode. That's what we get out of the wall coming down? I feel like they've slowed this show incredibly so that its sole purpose is to push this badlands show. If nothing else, there is no way you should have to sit through the opening of another show to see the end of the episode.

That was pathetic. What a terrible spot to cut off at.

I think Deanna just delivered the best line of the entire series

Wow. How is that even possible?

Yes to the first two, but I have to be honest and admit that the stereo is sub-par.

You want the stratus?

I've been meaning to look into those fleer jets for a while now. How's the MPG? I don't want to have to sell my Dodge Stratus, but I will if I have to.

I really don't get the Carl hate at this point. He's pretty much just a minor background character at this point. He doesn't have anywhere near the focus he had in earlier seasons.

It wasn't a home game, but the Bruins played last night too. It's a shame they can't coordinate a little bit and not have the teams playing at the same time, especially in Buffalo where both teams have the same owner.
