The Walking Dead (Official Thread)

yeah, Gov is definitely dead after last night. Herschels severed head growling was quite funny.

I thought it was good episode, if you forget the fact they couldn't have been to far from the prison, yet somehow found a row of houses they had never scavenged and had lots of food to take.


are we led to believe that Michonne's man killed himself and their baby?

I though one of the original walkers she had with her was her bf? While we are on the subject, I did not know she had short hair in real life. I thought the dreads were natural. Maybe she shaved them off after the season was completed.

After last night it's clear the original Traveling Circus was her boyfriend and his buddy there...as to what happened though, yeah, I guess suicide was sort of implied, but they were annoyingly unclear about it. If you're going to waste 30 minutes showing random Michonne dream sequences, at least give us something tangible for the time we invested to watch it. Sometimes I think the writers get way too cute.

Oh, no, probably she isn't. Not 100% convinced the Guv is, either. They did not show him die (even tho' he was in the memorial on TD).
Yeah the Guv was toast, but he wasn't a walker, which begs the question does a bullet to the head to induce death prevent a walker like it stops one after death? Because otherwise he should have been one of the nomads.

That was just fucking hilarious. I mean after being in this area for, what, well over a year, all of a sudden there's a Canton Ohio somewhere nearby with scads of food and no army of walkers? Yeah, sounds about right :slappy:

The minimal walkers part isn't a surprise to me; after the implosion at the prison, I'm sure most nearby walkers went towards it which effectively cleared most of their new area.

Although I'd like to point out that they are claiming Carl ate the whole 7 lb tub of Chocolate pudding in one sitting; I call bullshit.

:lol: Someone pointed out that the Governor never actually stabbed Hershel in the brain, although he did appear to be decapitated...that could open the way for a Hershel walker

....and we did get a Hershel walker. Go figure.

Yeah, Gov is definitely dead. As far as the bullet to the head, it does prevent one from turning into a walker if I recall. In season one, after the raid on the campsite, they were spiking the heads of the dead to prevent any returns (Except for Amy cause of her crazy sister).

Bucklion said:
No, they didn't, though I am still nowhere near convinced that she is dead yet.

Yeah, I'm not convinced Judith is gone yet either. It is possible that the writers decided that a baby getting eaten on camera was too much, even for the Walking Dead, so they just showed the bloody car seat...but my money is on someone getting her out at the last second and a bloody walker falls on the car seat instead. The question is...who has Judith? Obviously Rick, Carl, and Michonne don't have her. I don't think Beth and Daryl have her, based on sneak peaks. It's still possible the littler girls have her, or maybe the bus of people? Who knows.

As far as the plodding back story, that's the general consensus I've seen on other sites. It wasn't a terrible episode, it probably just wasn't the best one to start out with after the break. Might have been better to have Daryl and Beth fighting their way out of a herd of walkers with lots of near misses, lot of action. Michonne taking out 23 walkers wasn't too shabby though.

that, and the drawn out sequence of Carl thinking he's a badass and then realizing he doesn't have the twig and berries to pull it off.

i'm also fairly impressed with michonne's ability to behead 127 walkers, some through the skull no less, and have that sword stay totally sharp and never once get stuck.

To what end though? I mean, I love the Michonne character on the surface, and who doesn't like watching her carve up walkers? But it's like they went 45 minutes and someone on set went "Shit, people are going to fall asleep thinking this is a soap opera ("Days of our Deaths"?), so we'd better wipe out some walkers". A few token carve scenes gets old quickly if there's no purpose to it.

And I agree, she must carry one badassed sharpening stone with her.

I know she cuts the arms and mouths off of them so they aren't a threat to her.....but why do they stop trying to "get" her? how do you train a walker to go where you tell it to go by a flick of the "reigns"?
That's actually the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I ignored it when it was her bf and another dude she knew. Figured maybe they didn't attempt to attack her because like the dude's wife from season one who kinda sorta remembered which house her family was in, they had some memories of Michonne. But two random walkers are apparently self aware enough to not participate in fruitless endeavours. What the fuck! Also shit like Michonne climbing over the sharpened stick barricade (that for some reason didn't surround the entire prison to protect the fence). Those walkers just impaled themselves to eat while the dude Rick and dipshit ran into in the town was content to chill behind a dull chair fort.

There are just way too many instances of them breaking their own rules. It's shitty writing. It sucks because it had so much potential.
