Re: The Walking Dead
The interview I read with her and the producers indicated there was no comeback and that the reason was based in the comics: a big part of the Grimes character is that he's permanently broken and haunted by memories of his dead wife. I doubt she'll come back living but they might pull a Merle ghosty thing. These ghosty character devices used to bug me but Hollywood has turned it into a useful and plausible device.

Can't kill Daryl. His batshit crazy brother is still out there, will come back and try to get Daryl to join him in killing Rick and all. Daryl will have to have a crisis of conscience.

Re: The Walking Dead
T-Dog wasn't listed in the credits this week but Lori was. All we saw was a dried puddle of blood where she "died" and a zombie in the afterglow of a food binge. She could still be shambling around.
The Thunderdome shit was weak IMO. In fact the Governor and his Stepford town haven't grabbed me yet. Still enjoyed the episode though.
Who dat be calling Rick in the machine room?

I have a feeling Daryl will give his life to save Rick. Maybe even after appearing to go to the other side.

Come on man, you can't see everything about in place for that scenario?
I probably should have been a show writter. The kind that talks and some asshole writes it down of coarse.

No..that's what I'm saying...they have laid it out quite neatly for just that series of events...and it would be a waste. Daryl's and Rick's charachter development are some of the best in the show.
to be fair...that would be kinda epic. the one thing I find superior about Brit TV is they will kill off major players at the drop of a hat.

Re: The Walking Dead
I never read the books, but the Governor story seems pretty gay. It's like they purposely cast the most uncharasmatic actor they could find to play a guy who is supposed to be extremely charismatic.
I'll keep watching though, I want to see how he dies.

Re: The Walking Dead
I think the third season is moving along nicely, not like the interminable search for Sophia.
I read Rise of the Governor last week . It was mildly disappointing. It seems to be in continuity with the comics rather than the show, a dumb choice when you consider the relative size of the audiences. I think Kirkman plotted it and the cowriter filled in the blanks.
A couple of gripes: I hate it when "literary" types make dumb technical mistakes that that a couple of minutes research would reslove. Maybe I'm a grumpy old fart but they take me out a work of fiction --Atlanta isn't in the central time zone, some obivious mistakes on how automobiles, public utilities and homes mechanical systems work. I'm sure you gun nuts could find a lot of goofs, too.
Also Kirkman has been quoted to the effect that nobody in the Walking Deadiverse has ever seen Night of the Living Dead. I think this a reasonable request to make of his audience. The word "zombie" hasn't been used in the show and I don't think its been used in the comics. In the Rise it's zombie this and zombie that.
I continue to be a big fan.

If you like action, it's redeemed. A little over the top but it was time for some of that. Death....destruction....disorder.... Loose ends tied up....mysteries arise....new loose ends....Grandpa's Spells wrote:I quit this show two weeks ago. Redeemed?
I've enjoyed this season. The Governor's story arc has been interesting. So has Rick's for that matter.

OK. Adding slow incurable disease was an additional level of depressing the show didn't need.

Re: The Walking Dead
I think the point of the disease was to illustrate that there are no safe havens in the ZA and nature is going to get you one way or another. This week showed another illusion of safe havens but I won't spoil it. This episode was bleak but with exciting and heroic bleakness.Grandpa's Spells wrote:OK.

OK, turns out I quit just before they did the Governor backstory. Worth circling back.
