The Walking Dead Thread (Spoilers Ahead)

[Devil Ledbetter]

My wife thinks that Laurie plotted with Shane to take out Rick.

Oh, wow. That's a mind-blowing angle.

[johnnYYac]

I looked back at some of my specualtion and feel fairly satisfied with being right some of the time and surprised just as often.  I love the intro to Michonne... armless, jawless walkers on chain leashes.  Cloak and hood, sword sharp and messy.  And the prison, just "over the river and through the woods."  Lori sucks ass, Carol is pretty useless, T-Dogg needs to step up or become walker food.  Rick is a bigger prick in the show than he is in the comic, but seems to have earned leadership for now.  I wonder how many prisoners will greet them next October.  Good shit.

That's what that was? I'm assuming it's the Governor's realm? It was too dark on my TV to make out much aside from a large walled structure.

And Merle is confirmed to come back next season? I hope they work in a stink palm joke.

Here's a good view of the last scene.  Click to enlarge and pan.

I think I jumped 15 feet in the air when that last scene panned up and showed the prison.  I was still recovering from seeing that scene with Michonne.  Season 3 is going to be unreal.  I don't know why my mind went there but as soon as they showed the prison I said damn there goes Ricks hand.  Best episode of the season.  October hurry up!

not sure if this is considered a spoiler or not, but kirkman said he's not doing that in the show.  we'll see tho,  hershel was suppose to die last night according to kirkman and the director.  glad he didn't, hershel is one of the best actors on the show at this point if you ask me. 

I'm interested in seeing how they throw merle back into the mix.  they said he's for sure going to be in season 3 and has lost like 20pounds for the role.   they start shooting in may I think but the set/construction shit is already underway.

AMC Canada fucked up royally last night. They started the first airing of the finale 30 minutes late due to lead-in programming running long and didn't notify customers and cable carriers such as Bell and Rogers (the menus weren't updated), so those that set their DVRs, such as me, missed the first 30 minutes. It'll air again later in the week and on demand hopefully tomorrow, but sucks for me since I was ready to watch it tonight. Oh well, at least I can watch the Bruins pound the Leafs tonight instead.

in case anyone's interested, here's a mediafire link to "Michonne's Story" it appears in this month's Playboy...

(haven't read it yet but I'm pretty sure it's michonne's origin story or something).

Turns out the show recorded ok. It was pretty good. Nice set-up for next season. A couple of things bothered me, of course, but it didn't ruin the experience too much: Hershel's endless rounds from a 5-round automatic shotgun and the pointless deaths of his Star Trek "red shirt" family members that nobody cares about, or even knows.

I counted like 30 shots before he started to reload. 

so I'm up to issue 51 on comics.  So to all of you that have read, does it pick up from here?  Just had round two with the governor and man is it dark.

yes.  it's different than the first half tho.  struggling with the losses aren't ya?  those first few are rough after 51.  things get sweet again tho.

Definitely read it.  Its only 6 pages, but gives a brief sense of who Michonne was, where she got her swords (though she does explain that briefly in the comic), but most interestingly... who the two walkers are she's got on a leash.  They ain't strangers!  Love it!

I found the whole standoff on the farm a bit ridiculous.  I really don't think Glen, Andrea, Jimmy, Daryl, T-Dogg or any of the others could expect to get many good shots from moving vehicles at high speed across bumpy terrain.  As far as Hershel never reloading, unless it was a continuous shot of him firing more rounds than the gun allows, I chalk it up to being akin to never showing a character use the bathroom.  You know they do, even if they don't show it, so we assume Hershel reloades at each edit or commercial break.  I'd already predicted we'd lose Jimmy and which ever daughter of Hershel's we lost (Peggy?).  Thought we'd lose one major character, too, to avoid the Star Trek, red shirt comparisons, but no such luck.  My vote?  Lori.  Carol is pretty useless, but I'm interested to see what they do with her character at the prison.

That bothered me as well, but I was willing to let it slide as a McGuffin

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

word is that shotgun can fire 8rounds. i think the sound fx person messed up when it pans to the porch.  he is seen reloading quite few times. they show glenn miss a couple times too. perfect? no. awesome? fuck yes.

Nah not a spoiler just really loved that scene in the comic.  What about the prison uniforms?  They gotta be rockin those, right? Any thoughts on how the show is gonna intertwine Daryl and Michonne since they are both kinda loner bad-asses.  Sorry folks, I know I am the minority on this one but I miss Shane...that dude was a great actor and will be missed in the show.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

yeah me too.  the missing limbs stuff to me was some of the coolest parts of the comics.  different people having to manage in different ways.  who knows maybe rick will lose it and then when he meets up merle they can rub nubs. 

I hope merle becomes a good guy.  hopefully daryl still has his hand, it's the only way merle will believe they went back for him.   or perhaps if shits not to daryl's liking, him, merle, and t-dogg will overthrow rick?  so many wild card factors now.  all i know is I hope Axel is still in the prison thing.  Hershel is to the farm what Axel is to the Prison.  haven't even been able to factor in the michonne shit mentally yet because it's so insane and bad ass.  she's going to suck t-dogg's dick for sure.  if not she'll suck daryl's dick and make carol jealous or something.  either way michonne will be gobbling some cock seasons 3 and 4. 

there are so many cool side characters that hopefully will be introduced.  Alice, Martinez, Dexter, so many more.  plus, new shit.  that michonne backstory from the recent issue of playboy felt like kirkman talking to his audience.  since he wrote that stuff like 8years or 9years ago he's trying to remember how it started.  I'm wasted and rambling, love comic/show so fucking much.

This is pretty funny and fairly accurate:

the Jim/Lori one is really funny. 

over at PT there's a running joke that all T-dogg cares about is gatorade.  specifically G2, as seen in this photo of T-Dogg quenching a mighty big thirst:



thus leading to hilarious memes such as:

http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3ofh07/

so to answer the question of why I love t-dogg so much, it's mostly because of his thirst for G2.  "FIND ME SOME DRiNK DALE!!"
