I'm not completely convinced the Gov is dead, either. I mean, we didn't technically see him die, so it wouldn't surprise me if that eventually comes back in a later season. Awesome episode though.

I doubt they would kill a baby on screen.

Maybe we will see zombie Judith like the one in Dawn of the Dead remake? Can't see it though, there's got to be some sort of goodness coming out of all that mess. Hopefully they go back to the farm like the comics for a while.

Just watched it. Damn. Really liked Hershel. He was probably the only "full face" character on the show. Played the "moral center of the group" far better than Dale and his eyebrows ever did.
Wonder if the Lesbians made it out alive. |
one of them was shot by the little girl
|
Last three eps were really kinda weird. They built up the whole flu/sickness angle, and then were like "Screw that, the Governor's back, here are two slow episodes on where he has been, and now we are back at the prison, but forget that whole flu thing they are all better now, let's get back to the war with the Governor from last season"
|
You mean there was lazy writing on The Walking Dead? Well I never.
|
They got the medicine and everyone got better :shifty:
|
But not Glenn. Glenn is milking that shit. Fake sickness. Make Maggie fight zombies and psycho pirate.
|
Well they did say there were a lot of them sick that wouldn't be able to survive the move. So the illness isn't just Glenn. Besides, I'm glad they moved away from the sickness p.o.v. stuff, some of you sounds like you want more. I was happy enough with thee insinuation of it.
|
Glenn is the most worthless character next to dead baby Judith. R.I.P Judith! They've saddled Herschels daughters with dead weight characters and then they cut his head off.
|
I suppose the Governor might have survived, but a sword through the chest does seem fairly fatal, if he didn't actually get shot in the head.
Hate these "anyone can die!" shows though, poor Herschel. :( |
The young woman has Judith, the one who was all like "oh my god, he cut his head off!". By looking after Judith, the group will trust her going forward.
|
I still miss Herschel :(
|
Just watched episode 8. There was a part of me that thought the Governor was going to fake and take Michon's (sp) head off instead.
Then as Herschel was crawling away, I still thought they were going to somehow save him, even with a wedge missing out of his neck. Pretty damned upset when I watched it. |
in some ways i kind of envy the people who do not read the comic, because i didn't get any of that uncertainty when i saw the governor bring out michonne and herschel. i knew exactly how it was going to play out, even if the show swapped out tyreese for herschel. so i guess in some ways you do lose a bit of that excitement and "will they/won't they survive" drama, i guess

How closely have the series followed the comics? Are there any glaring "that did not happen" moments from either? |

the pacing is very different, especially moreso earlier on, but it seems to have shifted more in favour of the tv show catching up now. there was no way they were going to make it at the pace season one went. major differences and spoilers so far (at least one of sixx's wouldn't have happened in the show anyway yet given when it happens in the comic) in the books... SPOILER: show dunno, probably forgetting some, but that gives you a general idea of how closely or otherwise the show has followed the comics so i mean, obviously there are still some surprises for me, but when there's a major set-piece - say, the attack on the prison - some of the faces might be different, but the overall vibe and major happenings remain. in fact, the end shot of the recent midseason finale, with the prison going up in smoke and rick and carl walking away, was pretty much ripped from the pages. it was kind of beautiful. |
An awesome side by side slide show of key moments from the mid season finale and how it happened it the comic:

That is an awesome image.

Where was my sweet lovely Maggie damn it!?
|
RIP Carl's shoe
|
Good episode. Can't wait to see what awaits the other survivors.
|
Can't wait to see what awaits Carl's shoe. Will they stage a rescue mission?
Shoes can't be easy to come by for a growing young man like Carl. |
The bit with Herschel's head was hilarious. My God Rick is a dreadful, dreadful leading character. Not sure there's ever been a worse leading character in a show I've watched.
|
You know what the show really needs? Another episode of Carl being a bit of a shithead to his dad. He then runs off to prove he's tough, gets in a spot of bother, gets out of the trouble and goes back to his dad. Rick then tells Carl he's not a boy anymore, and he's now a man. Wouldn't that be great?
|
Everything except for a few moments of Michonne this episode was absolutely dreadful. And even some of her parts were kinda meh.
|
|
I loved the dream flashback of Michonnes
|
so carl ate that entire can of chocolate pudding? he's gotta be sick
|
Carl is the worst. I liked the Michonne stuff but goddamn someone better eat that boy soon.
|
I thought the Michonne stuff was outstanding. They should do that with everyone.
