The Walking Dead [merged]

Spill dat TEA

I only cried because Rick was so hurt, but it was for the best so now he can have a clear mind when he goes up against Woodbury. Lori was such a huge worry for everyone, now they have to worry about finding baby food. Rick doesn't have time to take care of a damn baby have Carl do that shit.

[BFizzle]

Rick doesn't have time to take care of a damn baby have Carl do that shit.

Never told a lie.

[DigitalFudge]

I don't think the baby will survive. It didn't survive in the comics and there is just NO WAY they can have that kid around unless they just take the easy route and move the story well into the future when the baby is a toddler or something. Even still, that would be a pain in the ass and it would slow down everyone. I mean Carl is a pretty grown kid and look how much of a nuisance everyone thinks he is...

At this point, I'm not worried that TWD will shy away from ~going there~. The baby will be terminated.

I'd be surprised if anyone thought this baby was sticking around. They can simply have Daryl come back with the formula then realize there is no way for the baby to drink it. Have it starve and be done.

[TheLyingGame]

I'm thinking they will time-jump..

I mean wouldn't they have to at some point? Surely the actor playing Carl is growing too quickly for the story, and killing a baby? Eh. I just don't know..

But how can you expect anything with a show like this

Fox news gets that kind of ratings? It's actually in the top 20? That's scarier than walkers.


CONGRATS on second place though! That's fantastic!

[BetinaNungging]

I think Carol (if she's still alive) would take care the baby (if they dont want to kill the baby)

Big mouth is the number one news program on fox or tv and he has no problem letting you know it. More dont translate into voters though. It's possible to watch his show and not agree with everything he believes and many people watch because its their job for review and to report on.

[Stoowii]

This isn't Walking Dead related, but it is zombie-related. I figured you guys would appreciate it.



I've read the book and it isn't anything like the book. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, though. Even though it looks to be completely different from the book, I hope the script and direction make it a good movie. And c'mon, it's Brad fucking Pitt! Never in a million years would I have thought him to do a zombie movie.

[DigitalFudge]

^^^ Holy shit. I'm ready.

[gtru1981]

9.2 million viewers!

I figured it would be a bit more especially with the magnitude of the episode. But then again, no one know it would turn out this way!

U got to remember millions on the east coast are still dealing with the aftermath of Sandy. Many still don't have power. But still great numbers.

[DigitalFudge]

[Stoowii]

^Bahahaha, I think you should post that on Yahoo! comments somewhere. =p

[GamerBear]

"It's OK, I got this shit!"

[DigitalFudge]

The writers aren't desperate to shed characters but they do want to show that nobody is safe in this zombie apocalypse (except maybe Rick). Exiting characters helps build suspense as well. If the core group went merrily on their way and intact, I think viewers would soon lose interest.

Oh, I didn't feel bad when Rick started crying on the ground. I thought "Good grief, he's crying on the ground AGAIN." Remember the scene back at his house in the hospital gown? I did get all ferklempt when he went to Carl with that face. OMG, that sad, anguished face!

I think we all want these people to die. I personally could careless now except for Herschel and Rick. My point was simply the story is changing and I am anxious to see how these characters are going to deal because this isn't even the last episode of 2012.

We still have that cliffhanger episode half way in, and if these deaths are happening now wtf could they do to us at winter break?




I have a theory right now: Part of the cliffhanger will have to do with the "Doctor" and what they are testing on the walkers. I believe that we will learn something new that will change the setting in relation to what we thought we knew about them.

[Stoowii]

Btw, who is the third person down on the stake in the Obama image?

Clint Eastwood. XD

[justanothershyguy]

So... does anyone really believe Carol is dead? I don't...

Thank goodness that episode was more calm then the last... And Rick got to go on a killing spree!!

[pausanias_usa]

Who was Daryl so soft on that he put the flower on their grave? the T-man? Not like Daryl, lol.

Something is definitely in the drinks. Why was the scientist so opposed to the night's entertainment? More going on there.

"We're teaching them not to be afraid of the biters." Huh?

And when Rick cut into the stomach of that walker, um, I almost thought Lorie had a twin he wanted to kill (but it was a guy).

No one talks about Carol. That's odd, too. Is that what Rick is doing, killing the walkers until he kills Carol??? His "thank you" for helping Lorie?

[justdra]

Who was Daryl so soft on that he put the flower on their grave? the T-man? Not like Daryl, lol.
I think they made a grave for Carol even though her body isn't in there. I think Daryl put the flower on "her" grave. I also don't think she is dead and I think they will wind up naming the baby Sophia and then Carol will show up and the fact that is named Sophia, she will take a motherly role. At least thats what i think.


And when Rick cut into the stomach of that walker, um, I almost thought Lorie had a twin he wanted to kill (but it was a guy).
I also don't think Lori is alive but she is a "walking dead". I think Carl reverted back to him old self a moment and didn't or couldn't go thru with killing his mother so Rick will wind up doing it after he "stumbles" upon her.

Looks like they are trying to follow "the road to woodbury" book some even though Michonne isn't in it. Penny must be his "daughter" and he has been feeding her and they been using the walkers for entertainment.

[BFizzle]

Okay Michonne! On dat Buffy clock, I see.

[justanothershyguy]

There was a "C" formed out of rocks on it, so it was for Carol. The flower was one of those Carolina roses from the last season. (or whatever those were called, I forgot and don't feel like looking it up).

I think with the walker Rick killed at the end.. I think that was just a walker that "ate" her body.

Last, I think Rick is just killing for the stress relief. A moment where he just "snapped". I don't think it has to do with Carol at all.

[TheLyingGame]

It ate her bones too?

[justdra]

But... we heard the gunshot as Maggie was carrying the baby out of the building. And Rick found the shell near her body, or what was left of it after that walker got to it.

Hm.

True, but we all know Carl can shoot a gun, I didn't say he missed, I just think he shot the gun to make it seemed like he killed and if you noticed, he walked right on out, he didn't come out and fall down crying, he kept it moving. I think if Rick finds her, he can have his say to "it" and apologize and forgive her or whatever while she growls and looks at him like a Rich Sandwich, and then blow her head off. I don't think he will tell Carl or at least the others to save Carl the embarrassment.

[justdra]

^Ugh. That's why watching the Talking Dead aftershow can be informative. The director said the walker had a bloated belly because he ate Lori. What happened to her bones is another question.

Also digging graves only to fill them with dirt? They only have T-dog's body.

And while the Governor is creepy with his walker daughter and zombie fight club, I'm not seeing him as the baddy we thought he'd be. The worse was with the National Guard but since then he's been busy throwing his party and serving refreshing alcoholic beverages!

I have the Talking Dead recorded but haven't watched it yet. I'm shocked they would reveal something like that, lol, they are usually so secretive. I admit I FF thru some of that Rick's killing spree scene so I may have missed some clues. I will catch up on the TD though. I still think there is more to Gov than they have shown. I think eventually something like random killing of people who talk back or maybe taking advange of women, something along those lines. Thanks for the headsup though! I think Chris Hardwich is cute, you would think I would be chomping at the bit to see him on tv, lol.

[gtru1981]

Carol is alive, just read a spoiler for next week.

[BetinaNungging]

Carol is alive, just read a spoiler for next week.

spill it hun

the crazier rick
the more sexier he is

[Stoowii]

I enjoyed the episode. Michonne is one bad mutha-shut-yo-mouth.

Can someone post the spoiler for next week in spoiler tags, please? XD

[hanzosword]

I loved the last episode. I thought Lori should have "aborted mission" when she had those morning after pills. Their lives were just way too unstable to have a baby when they were constantly on the run. I had no idea she was gonna die in childbirth. The new baby is just gonna be a huge burden as precious as she is lol. I felt so bad for Rick when he found out Lori was dead. He needs to get his shit together now that the baby is there though.

Andrea is gonna regret not listening to Michonne. I just started reading the comics and I'm still on the first season stuff but it is twisted of him to have the fighting with the chained up zombies.

[Aisle72]

What do you think will be the name of the baby?

1) Amy
2) Carol
3) Patricia
4) Sophia
5) Jacqui
6) Lori
7) Other

Post your answer for a chance to see if you are correct when they do name her !!!

[Ninja108]

The Governor is now basically hte bartender,he needs to get bad in a hurry.

[TheLyingGame]

Also what did Daryl said at the end? "That's Carol's knot"? did he say knot?

I'm sure he said knife.

[BetinaNungging]

READ YOUR OWN RISK
I JUST GOT A SPOILER FOR THE NEXT WEEK!!!

Spoiler: (Highlight this box to see the hidden message.)

The episode picks up right where episode 5 left off with the phone ringing. Rick is talking to a woman who tells him that she is in a safe place away from zombies. Rick asks her where exactly but she ends the conversation. Later on in the episode Rick gets another call, this time from a male. Rick tells the person that he is with a group of survivors and has a son and a new born and that his wife died. The man asks how she died, but Rick doesn't want to tell him so the man ends the conversation. In Woodbury, the Governor and Andrea are getting closer to one another and end up having sex. The Governor has Merle and a small group hunt down Michonne and kill her in the forest. The group finds a cryptogram made out of zombie parts warning them to stay away that was made by Michonne but they continue to look for her. They end up finding her and a fight breaks out, Michonne kills two of them then some zombies attack her and Merle's group. She ends up gutting a zombie as it attacks her and she gets covered in zombie blood. When this happens the other zombies pass by her this is when she realizes that the zombies can be tricked. Merle ends up killing a person in his group (Philip), he reaches a town and sees Glenn and Maggie. He takes Maggie hostage and orders Glenn to drive to Woodbury. Michonne sees all this happen Rick gets another phone call this time from Lori, she tells him that it's not his fault and that she loves him and that it's time to move on. Meanwhile, Michonne eventually reaches the prison and is met by Rick who had just gone outside in the prison yard after having hallucinations of Lori talking to him on the phone. Daryl takes it upon himself to go searching for Carol in the prison. He encounters nothing but zombies on the way, and finds one with a knife in it’s head, still alive. It’s still alive because the one who stabbed it only stabbed it through the cheek and not the brain. Daryl realizes that it was Carol and that it means she no longer had a weapon with her. Desperate and believing she is dead, he falls to the ground, sitting on the floor. He then notices a door in front of him that someone was trying to open. Daryl takes it to mean a zombie was trying to get in but failed, but at the end of the episode he opens the door and there Carol lays on the ground, alive but almost powerless.

I cant effin WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh wait i just realized rick probably picked up a bullet :3

maybe it's just a bullet case
if you're watching CSI series
yes there is a bullet case whenever you shoot a gun CMIIW
but I still dont buy with no Lori's bone and skull left on the floor

[DigitalFudge]

also how hot was that guy fake fighting Meryl. dayum.

He was EVERYTHING.




Now, listen, everybody. This episode was a mess. Andrea was a mess, Rick was a mess, Carl was a mess with those names.


Michonne remained flawless as usual.


Rick's breakdown and outburst towards Glenn was so out of character. I expected more of his attitude when Carl was shot. Not this shit.


I am excited to see hew was on dat phone tho!

[vulgar_newcomer]

The Governor needs to get bad ass crazy soon. Sure he's a bit off kilter but not nearly as bad as the two guys Rick, Hershel and Glen encountered in the bar way back when. As I wrote, the National Guard killing was crazy but since then he's been more interested in his high balls and party decorations.

I also wish the writers would tighten up the writing for die hard fans like myself. We are watching every detail. I don't like how Glen needed to dig three graves for one body. That makes no sense!

Carol is alive. You can bet on that. Sadly like her daughter she has a bad sense of direction!

How do you know those guys that they met in the bar shoot out were not working with the Gov? I mean they assassinated those national guard dudes including the pilot. Why did the Gov kill those men and keep a bunch of people safe in the compound?
Because sooner or later he is going to need living humans to experiment on as he experiments on the walkers trying to figure out how to get his girl back to human. Those people thinking they are safe are no more then lambs for the slaughter.

I'm still not understanding how the dead flesh of zombies aren't fallin apart after a few days or rot and flies laying maggots into their flesh. There would be flies crawling all over that hellish stink of rotten organic matter. Those walkers wouldn't have a chance against the hordes of maggots eating them to pieces within a fucking week.

[Stoowii]

Maybe they're freshly turned walkers whom were recently survivors and just couldn't stay alive anymore.

[GamerBear]

Good to know Michonne is gonna show these punk ass rednecks who the woman is!

Andrea is a lost soul let that bitch live her life in that nut house! She likes fucked up men like Shane, so the Mayor is no different. Michonne should just forget about Andrea and let her die.

[BetinaNungging]

is it only me that I was glad they showed crazy Rick last episode
I mean the man needed a time to grief and let himslef out of anger, pain, disappointment, etc etc

I could not imagine if he hold his grief to his heart and bury them inside and suddenly BAM EXPLODING! he smacks Beth randomly like a loose cannon LOL

[BFizzle]

Carl was a mess with those names.

I died, came back to life, and died again at each suggestion.

How he gonna write the good sis Carol off like that tho?

He can't wait for the corpse to be found.

[DigitalFudge]

I'm just here for the group coming head to head with the Gov'nah tbqh

Carl's shady ass being kidnapped for shading the good sis carol even though we are all done wit ha.

And Michonne decapitating some dead and breathing sons of bitches

[Stoowii]

Something feels very "off" about this season. There's more action and suspense but it feels very unreal, whereas seasons 1 and 2 really did seem like the aftermath of a plague. I also don't like the looseness of the writing -- unnecessary graves, Lori's missing skeleton, the loudness of "walker fight club" (I thought noise brought the walkers?) even how Andrea was ready to leave with Michonne and then when Michonne says it's time to go, Andrea backs out once the gates are open.

I feel like with season 1 and 2 the evolving plague is what kept me involved. I was always thinking "What would I do?" We learned how the virus went from person to person, saw the hoard mentality of the walkers and then learned that everyone was infected. We also learned how widespread the virus was. Now there is no new information -- just kind of kooky drama.

No shade, but, some shows just aren't for everyone.

Perhaps they want to stick close to the comic. I don't read the comic, so I don't know how much of what is on the show is true to the trades.

[hellcatedy]

No shade, but, some shows just aren't for everyone.

Perhaps they want to stick close to the comic. I don't read the comic, so I don't know how much of what is on the show is true to the trades.

There is quite a few things that they have added to the show from the comic. One thing is the Governor does keep severed heads in tanks like on the show. His daughter is a walker, and they do have gladiator fights. The call in the end is also in the comic book.

[hellcatedy]

Daryl already named her. Her name is Ass-kicker.

Hopefully they name her Judith like in the comic. That is an homage to Judith O'Dea who played Barbara in Night Of The Living Dead, just like Morgan's son was named Duane which was the name of the guy who played Ben.

[Stoowii]

Additionally I think the Michonne character is increasingly out of place. I care about the group because I can see myself as one of them. Michonne is like a super hero with almost super powers. She and the baby need to go.

Maybe she's one of those people who can pick something up and automatically be good at it. I know some people in real life like that, pretty annoying actually lol.

And yeah, I did like how the first two seasons (with the exception of the Season 1 finale) were set as if a real-life apocalypse would occur. But I don't think this season is too far from real-life. And seeing as though it's a show, I think they have a little more freedom to keep it interesting.

[DigitalFudge]

I'm sorry ya'll but the Gov'nah is FINE Andrea better get that good peen






Woodberry can keep Maggie and Glen, tbqh

[BetinaNungging]

Governor is even sexier n hotter when shirtless
I need him!!!

[GrkGuy187]

Michonne SLAYS everything that's real and not real.

[Stoowii]

Woodberry can keep Maggie and Glen, tbqh

This episode was better than last one. And is it bad that I liked Carol more when she was missing?

Can't wait till Gov'nah and Ricktatorship meet!

[DigitalFudge]

This episode was better than last one. And is it bad that I liked Carol more when she was missing?

Can't wait till Gov'nah and Ricktatorship meet!

The great thing is the Gov'Nah can't feed him any bullshit and give him a false sense of safety because Michonne is there to spill the true scolding hot tea.


I'm ready

[Stoowii]

The episode was okay. I really enjoyed all the parts with Rick on the phone, and then Rick holding his baby for the first time. Amazing acting from Andrew Lincoln as usual.

After episode 4, I thought he might have a shot at an Emmy. After this episode, he definitely deserves a nomination.

Surprised that I didn't groan out load when Carol was found. I guess Daryl really has feelings for her so I'll deal her presence.

Actually I think Caryl hookup is more gross than Phillip on this Coochie (Andrea). I wouldn't be surprised if they did hookup, but I'm not feeling it.

Also, I love the person who made this-- too funny:

I genuinely laughed out loud at this.

[Stoowii]
