Larry is the good sort of antagonist. (If not antagonist, then antagonizing character, if you feel the need to split that particular hair.) He fits in the world and he has his reasons for being the way he is. As Roger Ebert loves to say, <em>he&#8217;s the guy you love to hate<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>I do wonder what the group is doing here. Kenny&#8217;s truck was just out of gas, but it should still work. (Remember we left it about a block from the pharmacy.) If the food is running low, why aren&#8217;t we on the road? As we&#8217;ll find out tomorrow, we have fuel now so we&#8217;re free to leave. This place is a dead end. I know Kenny is trying to fix up the RV, although the only reason to fix the RV is so we have enough space for everyone. But certainly a couple of people could go in the pickup and forage for food. <\/p>\n<p>These questions aren&#8217;t central to the story or anything. This situation is perfectly <em>plausible<\/em>. It&#8217;s just that the odd time-jump between episodes left me wondering what I&#8217;d missed and how we arrived at this particular set of circumstances. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link (YouTube) I&#8217;m really starting to warm up to Larry.
