The Paddock

At least the new Dunk and Egg will be out before GOT. No telling when the next ASOIAF will be out.

Oh I think the intensity will stay and even rev up. The Governor is coming for them and he's pissed. The way he sees it they came into town just to kill him and his daughter. I just hope Andrea finally dies. She won't but I hope. Apparently the black guy with that new group is a main character in the comics. The new redneck white prisoner in the group just seems too nice to be true. In the previews I noticed little blonde hottie kissing Rick on the cheek. Could be nothing. Could be something. They still have Daryl. They don't give a shit about Merle but they'll go back for Daryl. Things are gonna get bloody and that's always a good thing.

An afterthought. Why didn't Michonne just kill him with her sword instead of choking him with the sheath? That was just dumb and not believable. I mean dumb on the writer's part. I don't know why they'd write something so dumb and unrealistic.

Hey Carl, I just took a look at the other boards for the 1st time and saw this thread. The Walking Dead is my favorite show on cable. The Gov got what he deserved and the next series of episodes should be killer. The chick w/the sword is bad and I love her character. This show has done some things other shows havent and that includes killing off regular characters at a frequent interval and now a new group of survivors make their debut. The blond who is taken with the gov. will really be in for a shocker when she sees the "marauders" who attacked the town. I think Merle and Darrell team up in the end and helps Rick and the others in that group. Just thought I would put my 2 cents worth in on this show. Great thread.

Sleepy,

Watch Game of Thrones, you will love that show as well.

Right now those 2 shows are freaking amazing. In terms of killing off regulars, i would say they are about even, but i think Game of Thrones might have one upped it.

And after reading the book, i think season 3 of GoT will kill more. It's amazing show.

It would be much better on HBO. No censors on their back. There would be a lot more nudity and sexual healin going on for sure.

ARE YOU READYYYYYYYYY

and also, GOT is starting SOON!

Slow episode, but I guess it was necessary for developing the plot. I'm a bit frustrated that it seems the rest of this season is going to be about Rick wrestling with his inner demons and repeatedly making stupid decisions.

No question Darryl will come back into the fold. Its just a matter of when and how. I have not read any of the books and have made it a point to avoid spoiler fansites, as I like the idea of going week to week with anticipation of what might happen, but if I had to guess I would say Merle will likely end up making one last heroic act for the greater good that will save his brother (Darryl) and the rest of Rick's group. I bet Merle is the one who ends up taking out the governor.

As for Tyrese, I have heard he is apparently a big figure in the books, so I have no doubt that he will become a part of the group. The question is how many of his current group will be welcomed in with him, how long will it take, how, etc.

My #1 frustration with Rick right now is how he seems to forget that Herschel and his family took Rick's group in when they could have easily told them to get the hell away from the farm. I know it took some time and they were forced to sleep outside at the risk of being attacked by walkers, but at the end of the day Herschel's group took in Rick's group to form one big group in the interest of safety in numbers. Why Rick now insists on refusing to let any others into their collective group, especially when it is people like Tyrese and Michonne who would bring desired skills to the group, is beyond me. I can get being EXTREMELY hesitant to bring in someone like Merle (even though I think he will ultimately be the one to save the group from the governor), but his continued refusal with everyone else is getting a bit silly. I'm sorry, but in the event of a zombie apocolypse, I would want security in numbers....especially when those numbers include more muscle and the equivolent of a female samurai warrior.

Next episode was much better.

First half started a bit slow, but definitely picked up.

That truck slam kill was like top 5 kill? What do you guys think?

also, bye bye axel. I was wondering if Darryl took too long, axel might have gotten some loving. He also became a shield, hilarious.

Rick's group is falling apart right now. He needs to get few things together. Losing Tyrese for now hurts, you definitely lose fire power. Getting Darryl back is nice, but with Meryl. Meryl can be positive in terms of fighting power, but he could cause shit loads of issue in the camp, which will be interesting to see.

I wonder when rick is going to get his head right. BTW, i understand what he went through (i can never imagine, actually), but why then Carl not go through this? Carl seems calm and normal. I am not sure who went through it harder, carl or rick.

I have been wondering the same thing. Hell, she is the only reason Rick and the group even knew about the others being kidnapped by Merle and held hostage by the Governor. She risked her own life by walking up to the fence at the prison in the midst of a bunch of walkers to let them know what had happened. Then Rick repays her by turning his back on her and trying to kick her out now that they have their people back safe and sound. Again, I haven't read the books or kept up with fan sites, but I fully expect he will come around and will eventually welcome her and Tyrese into the fold. He's an idiot if he doesn't.

Andrea annoys me...

in the age of survival is not guaranteed...soon as i see tank full of zombie and human heads...i would have said "eff that, i'm out you psycho."

Not sure who is my favorite character.

No one really have stood out.

Snoozer of an episode. Next week looks good, though.

I agree, the group vs. group drama takes away from the spooky/freaky, end-of-the-world zombiapocolypse backdrop. I liked it better when every episode left you sitting on the edge of your seat, nervous for what might happen with the walkers. Now that it is prison vs. town, the walkers have almost become an afterthought.
