I have faith in Axel but the other guy seems unstable. Rick is definitely gonna go nuts, but if he gets even halfway to where he went in the comics, he'll be insane

Here it is, Burn

Lori's dead. Dead as dead can be. Even if Carl didn't blow her brains out, you don't survive a butcher's C-section, in a dirty prision and all without real medical care.

But after being annoyed throughout most, if not all of season 2, I am incredibly impressed with what they're doing now. I do think its moving a little too fast, but I suppose they have better funding, maybe, and want to cram in as much as poossible to make up for the faffing about they did in S2. I'm lovin' what they're doing with Carl and he's starting to remind me of comic Carl.

I'm glad they introduced the concept of all infected, I didn't think thye'd pull that from the comics.

As for the governor? I suppose they don't want to make him too much like the comics because then it gives Michonne a reason to shove a spoon up his arse and scoop out his eyeball, and there's no way in hell they'd do that on tv.

It might not be perfect, but its a far sight better than S2.

I haven't read the comics, maybe that's why I'm not as harsh on the show as some other critics.

It's almost completely different from the comics at this point

I say good. I haven't read the comic but it's good that it's different from the comic so people can still be surprised on what happens and whatever else. I know that Daryl isn't in the comic but he's my favorite character.

I agree. it's so different from the comics that it's unpredictable but it's similar enough that the storyline from the comics is recognizable

He's not in the comic!? I love Daryl! Not as much a bad ace as he is Boondock Saints, but pretty close!!!

I loved the last episode. Michone could've easily killed the Governor and he knows it. I think after letting her go, they're going to let her go a certain distance from Woodbury and have her hunted for pulling her sword on him or just leaving. That gladiator fight was messed up with the walkers. And who the f*** is on that phone!?

Lori.

Dude is batshit crazy. Why not have a phone conversation with your dead wife?

Maybe. He might be hearing things. But he did clear the hallways of walkers and he almost Glenn. And what's up with just stabbing that one that ate Lori's body?

In the comics it was Lori. He used the phone and talked to her because he's 'batshit crazy' and refuses to believe she's dead. He talks to her for advice and comfort.

At first I thought he was going after her wedding ring, but then when it shows him later the walker is just stabbed. Maybe he was taking his frustration out on that particular walker?

I thought he was stabbing the zombie because he had a belly that looked pregnant. All that pent up frustration gotta go somewhere.

I'm liking the slight involvement from comic plots, the Gov's daughter, the phone, I'm interested to see where this all goes without it being a copy of the comic.

Andrea pisses me off though.

Yeah I guess I can say Andrea makes me mad as well because she could've stuck with Michone. She looked like she regretted staying after she saw the gladiator fight. And I doubt Rick heard the phone ring because he's crazy. I don't think he knew it was there 'till it rang. But if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

I would agree. Moments before he hears the phone ring he hears the baby crying. Granted, that also could've just been in his head, considering his recent trauma.
Andrea was stupid for leaving Michonne. She's one girl I'd want on my side during a zombie apocolypse.

IHide wrote:Andrea was stupid for leaving Michonne. She's one girl I'd want on my side during a zombie apocolypse.

Well, as long as they don't kill Michonne off. She's still alive in the comics after all this time, I don't think the show's anywhere near the popularity needed to carry snuffing Michonne. Of course, there's always that risk of "Mary Sue-ing" her.

I woudl be interested in how they develope Michonne's backstory. Andrea is apparently the lawyer, which was Michonne's career pre-zombies. I would be annoyed too if they only sent Michonne on her way to she can meet up with Daryl and become his new love interest.

It'd be interesting to see if they put Dale on the phone, he died last season, was the voice of morality to an extent and the TV series is doing a lot of things slightly different. ie. the person missing a hand.

Now that Michonne has joined the group, who think that she and Rick are just gonna show up at Woodbury and start kicking *** until they get Glen and Maggie back?

*Woodbury

And yeah, Michonne+Rick=Asses kicked to Jupiter

Well, they have shown up at Woodbury and are ready to kick ass. Glenn is starting to get a little more badass. And how much do you wanna bet if Glenn and Maggie did take Myrle to go to the prison to see his brother, Myrle still would've done something like he did? Karol is alive and I knew it because they never did show her die. I can't wait 'till this Sundays episode.

I wonder if Glen will maybe be the one to torture the Governor. Or Andrea.

No matter what he says, I don't see Merle picking the governor over Darryl. I'm guessing when the group arrives at Woodburry, Merle will defect and join Darryl.

nah, he'll think Darryl's gone soft.

I'm thinking it's going to be Daryl that has to choose between Merle and Rick. Merle is still way too bitter about getting cuffed on that roof to join Rick's group. And I doubt Rick will accept Merle after what he's done to Glenn and Maggie.

A big question I have is what will Andrea do? Odds are she'll stick with the Governor but the lure of her group and Michonne being with them is a questionable force.
