wasn't there one where he succeeded, but it turned out it was just simulation he was running in a machine? I think it was a season finale/premier one year

That is what he is talking about. It was the two parter "Stewie Kills Lois" and "Lois Kills Stewie." He wasn't even successful in the simulation. A merman nursed her back to health.

Of course, in the end, it's a cartoon that gets away with a lot of stuff that would not be able to be done with real actors. After all, they do have a dog that sleeps with women (including a transsexual). If you can get away with bestiality, you can get away with anything.

Yeah, that is why I said if the episode didn't confirm it. Yet that whole scene is weird, and just another thing where I was like "WTF?" First of all, how did he know where the body was? Second, zombies eat entire bodies, bones and all? Yet like I stated, I am trying to stop doing that and just go with it.

That's what I did too with that...I think he just tracked the whole ordeal into that room. And yeah I didn't get that the whole body was gone and the zombie was bloated like an anaconda.

The overall import was strong so I just went with it. Rick realized he was being cold to his wife and never got to say goodbye. As if that wasn't enough, he couldn't even have one final goodbye with what was left of his wife because as if zombies haven't fucked shit up enough yet, one had to eat his wife after she was already dead. Not really sure where Rick goes from here...he has to regain some sort of sanity before any power struggle takes place.

I do agree with alot of the sentiments here though...hate Michonne so far. With all the build up, she simply stands around with the exact same angry look on her face the entire time. As for the list she found? (and please don't spoil anything if this is in the comic) My guess is they are gradually letting Woodbury citizens get bit to run studies on them and the notebook documented all the names (and heads in the Governor's room). That or he writes down the names all of all the girls he sleeps with to keep track like me :biggrin: He needs more than 1 page it appears though...

Well, nothing basically happened again, but they suree set up next week to be interesting...as I said before, they seem to be blowing through the governor story arc at 100 mph...seems like it is coming to a head already.

Not for nothing, but I thought Amy, Shane and Lori speaking to him from the great beyond through a nonfunctional phone was utterly ridiculous. I know what they were trying to do...but it failed miserably.

I agree. This episode was tougher than normal to ignore some of the holes.

See I disagree completely. If you look at last weeks episode most series would be a season finale, but this is not your ordinary series. Look at this like a fresh start, we are seeing what the Gov. is made and Michonne are made of. She is a complete badass he is a complete control freak megalomaniac. While I have been disappointed in her so far she is cold and calculating and I get the feeling that we're about to get a full picture of what she's made of.

The story that I'm very interested in seeing is the Merle/Daryl story line. This relationship/characters are completely new to the series compared to the books so it's going to be quite interesting. And lets talk about Daryl for a second, he's freaking AWESOME, when he shoots that opossum and announces "dinner" that is great. And in the last episode he was a better mother in 15 minutes than Lori was in 3 seasons.

It was only a matter of time before Rick actually broke down. He's been carrying the weight of the entire group since the start of the show and has finally reached his edge. I also think having Shane, and Lori on the other line brings us more into his head seeing what he's thinking. Now with the introduction of Michonne to the group we will see the decisions that he makes and how and where he leads the group.

Maybe the disappointment is from this show being so freaking good and so much happening last week.

Watched the DVR last night. Got to say I am with most here that the last two episodes were pretty much nothing. I am interested to see the clash between the Governor's crew and the Farm crew, though. That is coming soon, i feel.

As ridiculous as some of the plot lines are, this is still the only show on TV that I actually want to watch.

Alright, I am bored so I feel like mentioning a few things that bugged me...

Apparently Hershel just goes wandering around the prison, by himself, to find Rick. The one legged dude just goes hobbling into a place where two (at the time they thought 3) of their group members were killed by walkers. Then he just ignores the fact Rick is losing it (he had to know), and hobbles on back into the death trap of a prison by himself.

Why does Daryl decide "oh, we will get them on the way back" when he thinks there are walkers behind the door. Oh yeah, that 2 seconds it will take will really slow you down on your important mission to, umm, what were they doing that was so important?

The scene with Glenn, Maggie, and Merle was just ugh. I would have much preferred Merle just sneak up on them, force them to drop their weapons, realize it was Glenn, and then take them hostage instead of making Glenn and Maggie look like imbeciles.

Sorry, had to do it. Feel free to fire away with the usual "well if you fucking hate the show why don't you stop watching it!"

Of course actual explanations would be preferred.

Yep. A mediocre show with zombies is still better than a good show without zombies.

I wish it had been zombies on the other line calling Rick. That would have been a good twist.

It could have been like the scene from High Anxiety. :lol:

"Hello?"
*Gurgle, growl, chew, chew, chew, snarl*
"How did you, ummmm... get my room number?"
*Snarl, chew, gurgle*
"I am not going to listen to any more of this, I mean, I've had just about enough!"
*Snarl, chew, chew, chew*
"What are you wearing? Jeans? You're wearing jeans? I bet they're tight. "

That's it. This post has gotten entirely too silly. I apologize. Fuck Michigan.

I was under the impression most the prison had been cleared when Rick went crazy en route to finding Lori and killed all the Walkers.

I agree, my only guess is maybe he didn't want to mix it up with Walkers while Carl was there?

The scene with Glenn, Maggie, and Merle was just ugh. I would have much preferred Merle just sneak up on them, force them to drop their weapons, realize it was Glenn, and then take them hostage instead of making Glenn and Maggie look like imbeciles.

I think it was important to show that Meryl could magically fashion his own prosthetic weapon with no formal medical training..........no, I agree with you, that scene was dumb.

Sorry, had to do it. Feel free to fire away with the usual "well if you
