Walking Dead (could have spoilers)

[Aerock]

If I heard correctly the director said on Talking Dead that she was in fact dead.

I heard that too, but I thought he was just referring to Daryl reacting to her "death."

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the phone call. Doesn't a phone need power to work? That means that Rick really is bat-shit crazy! Maybe he's talking to Shane... possibly Lori?

[fridginators]

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?

I think she's dead (Lori I mean), but her character is far from done. She will continue appearing in flashbacks or in someone's damaged mind. (those who read the comic know what I'm talking about).

Well this says far more than I would've said, but yeah it's essentially correct/how I predict the show will go.

Also 7odd I completely disagree, I think that the Governor in the show is far more appealing than he ever was in the books. I like that we know how we should not trust him but can't help it. I also like that him and Andrea are borderline-romantic, which from memory didn't really happen in the books.

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)

I want to think she's still alive too. Plus I was reading that Tyreese was going to be introduced in this season. Maybe that storyline will pick up from the prison. ???

After last night....im VERY excited for the rest of the season!

[HardKor]

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.

[7oddisdead]

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?
