Re: The Walking Dead

That's interesting. Makes me wonder how it'll all end then. Can't have that many survives left if everyone becomes a zombie. Even the people dying from old age.

I found the key to success but somebody changed the lock.

And there doesn’t seem to be a lot of fornication either. So replacing the living population seems unlikely,...

Still the books that the series is based on are far ahead of where they are now in the current season and there is no “end” in sight that I can see.

Merle!

reply to Voxxjin
So why did Merle kill the National Guardsmen? Because he's nuts (quite a hobby room he has there)? Or was it a cold-hearted logistical calculation? Or something in between?

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

You mean the Governor don't you not Merle.

In the books, the Governor seemed to be normal on the surface for a very short time but it quickly went to a very ugly and sick place. He seemed incapable of having a normal relationship due to his sick impulses which is why I found it odd that he had a woman in his bed at the end there.

They may play it differently in the series because I don't know how they can air some of the things that were in the book implied or otherwise.

Oops, yes, I meant the Governor.

I found it interesting that they stated the zombies are starving, they just starve slower than humans. This means that eventually a zombie will die without food.

Wow.....nobody's safe.

Rick is losing it

reply to Jackarino
I'm glad Lori is gone. T Dog I wished they kept around.

Same about Tdog

What about those prisoners? I think Rick should keep them around. Especially after that one guy shot the other guy who started the siren.

Wow. Didn't see most of that coming.

I wonder how Rick will feel because he let the one convict 'go'. If he would have killed him, things would be much different.

This was a really interesting episode.


I kind of feel they went off the reservation a little with it but it was entertaining. Long time characters from the beginning of the series died showing them the reality of the world they live in. No one is safe.

Carol is MIA BTW,….

Rick has got to be thinking that he must be more proactive when dealing with threats like Andrew (the convict saboteur). Had he killed Andrew himself when he had the chance (instead of leaving him to the zombies) there wouldn’t have been that level of uncertainty and comeuppance.

Lori’s death is ultimately on Rick’s head here, although, I feel like her death in the book had more meaning and impact.

What I feel is missing from the show at this point is the psychological impact on the characters. They actually spent a fair amount of time addressing the fractured minds of the characters in the book and it was particularly disheartening to see this in the children. It was also a recurring theme. It really is too bad the series couldn’t capture this but they may be trying to go in this direction by having Carl kill his mother.

reply to Voxxjin
Noooo t dog noooo.. He died for no reason. But that's pretty much his whole character.

Glad Lori is gone though. The kid needs to go now and it'll become a decent show.

Carol is MIA

I hope Carol doesn't become another Sophia and ruin the season that is going so great right now..

I’m actually sorry to see T-Dog go but the writers weren’t doing much with the character anyway so its almost as if they had killed him off way in advance of this. T-Dog wasn’t in the book and neither were the Dixon brothers. I think it was a missed opportunity for the writers to kill off T-Dog before a reckoning / reunion with Merle.
