The Walking Dead, tv series

[StewieG]

Did Rick just figure out that killing is an acceptable solution to his problems?

[Govbarney]

If it's half as good as the comic, which in some places it hasn't been, it should be a bloodbath. Torture, murder, rape, awful shit.

Dale wasn't killed like that in the comics. He had his leg eaten by cannibals. He had been bitten before hand and the cannibals tried to vomit up the infected "meat". Rick and some of the survivors proceed to massacre the cannibals in brutal fashion. I don't consider that a spoiler since he's fuckin' dead already.

The point of the comic is the real walking dead are the survivors, not the zombies. They're all infected as shown in season 2.

I downloaded the first four volumes of the comic on my IPAD last week, I just started the third Volume "Safety Behind Bars". I got to ask when does all the "Torture, murder, rape, awful shit." start happening , because so far its been a slow read. Maybe I am just not accustomed to graphic novels, the only other one I have ever read was Watchman, which I thought was fantastic, but through the first two volumes of "Walking Dead" I have been disappointed in the writing. Its been disjointed, and kind of cheesy IMO.

The battle for the prison with the Governor and his group, the whole sequence leading up to that.

What the Governor does to the group, especially Michonne. It's awful.

[Adverb Harry]

Holy. Shit.

I don't think anyone can complain about the pace of this show anymore.

[StewieG]

Well that escalated quickly.

Did anyone else think the baby was going to be DOA and turn, eating Lori from within?

[Orenthal]

Just glad she is dead.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

What a surprises. Until I head the gunshot, I was SURE they were gonna keep her alive somehow.

The Governor has been really good so far. Outwardly he has that "ah shucks" demeanor, but they showed you what he's really capable of.

[Orenthal]

My fav character, by far^

Didn't like seeing T-Dog die. Him being conflicted gave him some depth, but I guess they have only enough space for one black guy with issues. So when unnamed prisoner guy dies, maybe Morgan makes his return.

I think Rick goes on a zombie killing rampage next episode.

"You killed the horrible actress that played my slut annoying wife!"

[Adverb Harry]

Really was shocked to see her go so quickly in the season, especially in the same episode as another semi-major character. I figured (wrongly) that made everyone else "safe" for a while. Knew she was a goner at some point, but I figured it as more of a mid-season cliffhanger or season-finale type deal, not a quarter of the way in. You can definitely feel the change in tone and pacing with the new creative team behind it.

[Orenthal]

Pick up the phone Rick!

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Michonne taking that guy's head off was awesome. Rick's sanity is slipping. And war is coming.

Michonne taking that guy's head off was awesome. Rick's sanity is slipping. And war is coming.

I was wondering, why didn't Michonne take out Merl first? Obviously he was by far the biggest threat.

Stupid Michonne.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

I think he was too far away. So she took out the two she knew she could kill.

[e0y2e3]

A much, much, much better series this year. If they were smart they would just pretend like last season didn't even happen.

Still some stupid ass shit (the phone call thing with Rick), but nowhere near enough stupid shit to take away from the fun shit.

That said, I'm very impressed by the shut-in that was able to live for a year in a shed off of a fox carcass while not noticing the dead chilling outside. Dude can sleep.

[motherscratcher]

Yeah, this season is two steps up from the previous season. Not a dull episode yet. There have been a few farts, like the phone call you mentioned, but they generally don't last long like they seemed to in the past.

The dude playing the Governor is perfectly cast and Michonne is pretty badass, if slightly underused so far.

The best decision they made was to jump ahead 8 months.

[Erie Warrior]

The Governor is a bad, bad dude.

What he did to Glen's lady friend was some cold-ass shit.

Watching that hermit get stabbed and sacrificed actually brother mother to mind. I couldn't think of a single person that would deserve that random ass end to their life until I remember that the douchy dentist from the North Shore exists.

I'd take that. Go out while living blissfully unaware of the zombie apocalypse in a cabin in the woods. There are worse fates.

My preferred scenario is getting eaten by a shark. A few moments of sheer terror followed by uncomprehendingly watching as appendages are removed from your body and quickly bleeding out. Probably very little pain due to the adrenaline. And it would leave a great story for family and friends.

"Hey, did you hear about motherscratcher? HE GOT EATEN BY A SHARK!!!"

"no fucking way! That's incredible!"

"I know, I can't believe I knew someone who got eaten by a shark."

"wow"

"it kind of sucks because he was the smartest, funniest, handsomest person I ever met or had the immense pleasure to interact with. I feel grateful for every second I was graced with the knowledge that there were incredible people like him in the world. It gave me hope for all of humanity and made my world a better, bright place."

"Completely agree with all of that."

"Wow, a fucking shark. That's amazing."

[pod2dawg]

^^^^^^^^ Well, that sounds about right. :)

If I were the shark bait my friends and family's next line would be,

" Where's his will?"

[Cerebral_DownTime]

That was just about as much tension as you can pack into an hour of TV. Holy fuck.
