Finally got around to watching the episode. I know that Lori's death scene is supposed to be tragic and sad, but honestly I hate the character so when she died, I didn't feel bad at all. T Dogg's death though, that one was actually sad :(

mrs mem said "oh no they killed off the token black guy ! oh wait they already have a replacement."
why is it always just one. why not have 3-4 to make it harder to figure out who is going to get killed off.
@Luna Guardian - Like you I was glad to see her go. I was ready for her to go last season. T Dogg on the other hand. I hated that. He went out valiantly though. It was a good death
"Token black guy" is a strict rule which is heavy enforced among the ranks.Quote:

so am i completely bat-shit insane or did they ever confirm carrol as dead? i dont remember seeing anything more than them picking up her headscarf thing(that she conviently happened to be wearing for this one special episode). i could be confused though, as walking dead sunday has also become a drinking night at the halfacre house. ;) also, this weeks episode...........
meh
but still better than anything else on tv :hsugh:
Ha, I was thinking the same thing.... I kept thinking that I missed something when I went to take a piss. And if they DIDN'T find her body, then who the fuck is in her grave???Quote:

I love the new season of The Walking Dead, especially after last season's Little House on the Prairie error (Pun abso-Falcon-lutly intended). Yet, truth be told, the only thing that show has over We're Alive is better looking zombies.:D
Yeh... can you imagine if the WA characters were somehow transported to the Walking Dead world?Quote:

Yeah that left me scratching my head. She had the scarf on when she walked out the door but it somehow ended back inside the door. That was an odd scene. If I heard correctly the director said on Talking Dead that she was in fact dead.Quote:

It'd be weird if Michonne ends up running into her and Carol becomes her new sidekick!Quote:

Losing the knife, to me, signifies losing my life, but still, it gives some hope...could've been some heroic escape that left her without knife, but doubtful....Quote:

Uh, I've read the comics: I assume I'm not allowed to spoil it?
I'll put it this way: my brother has a theory that Carol somehow saved Lori with her magical C-section skills. If this was We're Alive, I would say that yes, that's likely, simply because in We're Alive every scene means something. However, TWD has such a history of shooting useless scenes - see Zombie Well in season 2 - so I wouldn't be surprised if it was all for nothing.
By fucking god what is it with this show and missing people though? Like mother like daughter... good work Carol. That said, I think she's still alive, but I don't really know. Walking Dead's been much much better this season, I'm really impressed, but we'll just have to see what happens. I do hope they don't do a Sofia with Carol... seriously. Dead or Alive. NO MORE MISSING PEOPLE. Missing people plots are always fucking terrible. We're Alive had the good sense to make the missing people plots somewhat irrelevant - asides from the initial search for Lizzy, there was no real active search for her, Saul, Angel or Burt, and thank god.
So for all you comic readers out there...anyone find the governor a lil bland? I mean I'll say nothing of what he was in the books....but...yea...i want more.
I guess that's the real problem with this show...if you've read the books, you know this show could be ten times more twisted. I guess we really can't compare the two...And that's really hard(read: aggravating) to keep in mind.
Also, if carols dead...then the entire line of her growth as a character was pointless...she had more development than t dog..who seemingly everyone loved...if she's dead,that's a waste. I'll be pissed.
I refuse to believe she's dead. you are right. She survived so much to die off camera is just not right. Now I'm confused about the last scene with Rick, I've watched it 5 times ...wtf?Quote:

I also like Daryl and Merle and think that they make for a far more interesting plot than without them. Honestly while of course the book is a lot more coherent, there's a lot that was just weird and crude: I'm citing Dale and Andrea's relationship here particularly. Obviously it is a comic so it's understandably a bit weird and creepy, that's kinda the point, but still, I much much prefer many aspects of the TV show...when the plot actually progresses. So far, I've been pleasantly surprised - season 3 has been excellent.
yea...dont get me wrong I've been pleasantly surprised by how good this season has been. And the governor character is most likely just my own personal opinions reflecting on aspects of both the books and the show I enjoyed..i will say yes, this governor is faaaaaaar more "real" than the book version...I'd just like a little more "edge" when he's alone, the time when he can let the inner weirdo out..but perhaps that's still coming, just knowing what the showrunners have to work with(book material)Quote:

I gotta say I'm really digging the governor. I keep finding myself really liking the guy and then he goes and does something evil, vicious, or just all around creepy and I realize "Oh....right, he's a villain." Then he goes off and starts acting all nice again and the process starts all over again.
I'm figuring out a few things about the governor/merle dynamic....all of you who have read the books should know what COULD happen in the coming episodes. Initially I didn't like the governor...he just didn't have the same level of demented-ness as the comic character...but he's just a different character...one that's possibly more interesting..because the sauveness didn't really exist in the book....now, we have merle.....need I saw more?
Lori is gone now we need Andrea to die. Wish I could magically appear in that show and beat her to death with a cinder block.
I can't wait to see the confrontation between Rick and The Governor.
did you see the duffel bag of guns when Michonne was in the governor's room in episode 5? the same duffel that rick gave the vatoes in the first season.
Andrea is going to stumble across a captured Maggie and Glenn, switch allegiances, then escape with them back to the prison, setting the stage for a massive Woodbury assault at the end of this season...Quote:

Also, Michonne acting like a demented crazy person throughout everything doesn't really help her credibility in her arguments against the lure of civilizationQuote:

unfortunately, the rest of it.....meh.
and dude in the shack was labeled in the credits as "hermit" now im annoyed with this show...killing hermits...honestly..the nerve of some people
:hsugh:
This is twice now on the Walking Dead that duct tape has prevented a biter from chomping down on someone's arm (Milton two episodes ago and Glen this last episode). I am adding duct tape to my bug-out bag. Large, large quantities of duct tape.
Attachment 2286
Hehe. Hehehe. Hehehehe. MWUAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! :D:D:D:D
someone can't spell but this was funny
still sad that he died !
I did a blog on uses for duct tape. I'm adding that to my list as well and to my bug out bag.Quote:

rick never gave the bag to the vatos, just some guns and ammo, the bag stayed with the group until the farm and when everyone bugged out, the andrea was left holding the bag (see what i did there?). when she scadood off the farm she kept looking through the bag for ammo, eventually running into michonne. it can be assumed that since at the beginning of this season the mules had the bag, and we have now confirmed that it does in fact say sheriff, that it is the bag rick took from the station. t-dog may die, love interests may come and go, but the bag will survive forever.Quote:

See the Highlander law is in effect. There can only be one. Tyler!
so i just have to say....i feel this last episode was the best of the series. it felt dark, bleak, gritty....ya know, the good stuff. and we got some happiness, the first appearence of tyresse...creepy axel being creepy....carol owning up to NOT being a thespian..(she said thespian, right?)...michonne behaved like a human for two seconds...the guv'na unravelling (FINALLY!) and carl actually being quite awesome...his scenes were probly some of my favorites in an episode full of win. yea...best yet in my opinion.
ps....yarri. neither of us were right. hope your as happy as i am
Very happy, that eppy was very good. :)Quote:
