I think Maggie went for something other than medicine.

She was looking for the Love Doctor.

It would take the end of the world for a hot girl to want me in a drug store when I just happen to pick up box of condoms when she walked by.

Or simply put.

High School with Zombies and FEMA station = Surgical Supplies mainly the respirator needed to put Carl under for surgery so he could breathe during the operation.

Pharmacy = Medicine like antibiotics, aspirin, etc.

*SPOILERS FROM LAST WEEK*
The backpack that Otis is carrying has the respirator.

found the past episode pretty slow, guy stuck in the well alil boring.

i also thought its kinda stupid for the dude to be riding the loud ass chopper

i dont get how the school where the FEMA supply truck had a zillion walkers yet the town and pharmacy was quiet with zero walkers

im gonna stick it out but dang man i find this whole season so far to be a side track to the actual big term storyline . . is there no big picture plot line? is it really just girl runs into woods, group tries to find girl, boy gets shot, boy gets saved . . . seems to be a random collection of events . . .

where is the big picture conflict and resolution? its a bunch of small isolated problems.

Pharmacy was in a small abandoned town an hour away from the farm. FEMA site was ground zero for an outbreak. Unlike the hospital in the pilot episode the military didn't come in and "quarantine" the area. If you remember the hospital had a parking lot of dead bodies. No such thing was done at the high school where the site was likely just abandoned. Besides from a writing point of view why would you want a love scene ruined by a zombie ambush?

excellent points dirt. totally buying and understanding that. thank you.

Thanks, I'm kind of a zombie fanatic so I try to pay attention to this stuff. Scared as hell though that AMC is eventually going to ruin this series with their suggestions for budget cuts. Which is sad because this is the only really quality zombie form of media available these days. Resident Evil movies and games have become crap, Dawn of the Dead was released in 2004, 28 Weeks Later was 2007, and Dead Island was a let down for me. Granted Dead Rising 2 was okay but this is the first real quality zombie media to produce on a regular basis as well as recent memory.

Sucks that the cast and producers have no leverage on AMC because AMC owns all rights to the TV version of the series unlike Breaking Bad and Mad Men who can and have threatened to go to another network. Though Frank Darabont being replaced by the producer of The Shield isn't to bad of a dropoff.

Provided the cuts don't start messing things up, I think when that guy's brother (forget his name) comes back this week, the show will really start to get back on track.

For anyone who's read the comic, is this a huge departure from it?
