Yes this is true about the rants and such. but it seems it has gotten worse in this season..Season 1 an 2, season 1 especially, people spoke their mind. No way would they of let an outsider join them so easy..look how they treated ben when they first found him..they didnt even know who he was and they jailed him..this whole julie thing , i feel, is just something to push the story forward. the way jack has been lately and with the julie thing i feel as if there running it into the ground. i by no means want to upset fans of the show. i mean no disrespect but the way everyone just kept there mouth shut with no protest againt julies presence really takes away from the show for me. If Julie brings trouble than they all deserve it. just the blatant acceptance of julie really is just a smack in the face. Accepting an enemy so willingly really has me worried about the show in the future. Its just so obviously wrong. How can they be that stupid? it makes me wonder what kind of stupid choices the writiers are going to have them make later. When they start makeing choices so dumb you cant even begin to understand what they were thinking it starts to make the show more aggrevating than enjoyable.. because they obviously aint counting on the audience's intelligence to pick up on the lack of saftey and well being. Do they think they can write anything and we wont notice how careless it is?
