if that was true then the baby would just eat its way out of lori- alien chestburster style. come to think of it- THAT would be great television. Also it would be a way to get rid of the single most useless part of the show.

If Lori has a miscarriage this may happen, depending on what caused the zombie illness to kick in after death. I'm leaning towards high levels of radiation from the Venusion satellite.

Not so impressed by this episode. It's kind of like the writers bent to audience pressure and right now, the two most polarizing characters are gone. Everyone left is morally ambiguous now.

Word I'm hearing about the new 'morally upright' presence is:

Spoiler:

Andrea is supposed to sort of 'replace' Dale as the moral conscience of the group. After his death, she sort of changes.

What did I ever do to you?

You didn't even know there was a comic until a couple pages ago. How can your opinion be trusted?

He was busy playing Dead Island.

I know Michonne's an extremely popular character, and I undestand why. I wouldn't say people shouldn't like her or anything like that.

It just feels like she walked in from a different subgenre of zombie story with her katana and her zombies on a leash and her badassery. The Walking Dead is more early Romero with regular people (some with limited military or law enforcement backgrounds) fending for themselves, IMO, and she feels like she may as well be right out of Dead Rising.

I've always kind of felt the same way. She's a fun character and all, but she doesn't seem to really fit with the rest of the cast and world. It would be different if she were a kind of parody character to poke fun at some of the more extreme takes on zombie horror. Of course, I'm frequently surprised at the depths of crazy humanity shows on a fairly regular basis, so who knows...

The writers couldn't go a whole episode of Shane without Dale. It seemed like a cop-out.

Shane seemed to be hanging tight in his contentious way until Lori played dumb and dumber with him. "So you're telling me there's a chance?".

Looks like Fox in Japan is showing the episodes a whole week late. I'll avoid this thread for spoilers.

Episode 9 aired on Saturday and was awesome. Love the direction the show is going and am looking forward to it getting a bit more exciting.

It almost lost me at the farm.

 

[Castor Troy]

Damn you guys.
Bailing out of this topic cuz I never read the comics (not like I was really contributing). : /

 

[sp3ctr3]

I swear to god, the writers are reading this very thread. They gave T-Dog a line trolling the shit out of us all.

I hope the 'swarm' will force the group to move.

 

[Taiso]

I think the survivors should leave T-Dog behind when they leave the farm.

But just when you think the zombies are about to eat him, they just walk past because like everyone else, they've all but forgotten he's there.

what's going to happen is everyone will die... except T-Dog. watch..

And after he's conquered Earth, he takes off in a rocket for other inhabited planets.

That's how this series should end.

I laughed out loud @work, awkward moment indeed.

 

[evil wasabi]

Andrea is so uptight looking. Like have we ever really seen her kick it, and really let loose? She has the personality of a prison inmate serving 20 for a felony homicide that she wasn't responsible for. I really don't want to hear her talk that much.

Here's what the real problem is - it's not the farm. It's the focus. It's as if the story is told first person, from the view point of one of the group members.

Diversify focus. Cut back to the group of hispanics back downtown. Or that black dude and his son being chased by walkers led by his dead wife. Cut to the anything else. Cut to Mordor.

 

[norton9478]

AMC should cross the show over with Breaking Bad....

Now how cool would that be?

you know that one does not simply shamble and moan into mordor, right?

 

[Taiso]

I tuned out of this show weeks ago. Have they left Mordor yet?

You'll have to actually read the comic to find the answer to that.

Is T-Dog in it?

 

[SonGohan]

I'm not sure what letter he uses in the comic. Could be a different guy.

 

[Taiso]

If he has any meaningful dialogue, it's not the same guy.

 

[Poonman]

And after he's conquered Earth, he takes off in a rocket for other inhabited planets.

WOAH, more racism?

Not cool, bro.

 

[Taiso]

I know.

I'm a horrible person.
