    Oh, at first I thought this was a misplaced "on the field' post.

    They sure did hole in the most perfect spot you can be in. Maybe if they had a moat around the prison filled with alligators it would be more perfect but nonetheless it will do. lol

    I wonder if they decided to set up out in that field, eventually wouldn't all the zombies from everywhere start piling up against the fences? Then they would pretty much be stuck there forever.

    But whatever, we're talking about zombies here so I could care less about consistency. This show is great. I love it.

    Love this show. I've read all the graphic novels, but I won't spoil anything for those who haven't.

    Even suspending disbelief, I find it hilarious we're supposed to accept that this 10-yr-old is landing killshots to the noggin from about 100 feet, armed with nothing but a handgun. That kind of logical leap is a little much for me. In the books, they practice a lot, but given a lack of ammo, I can't imagine they could practice so much to make this kid a marksman.

    Anyways, I take the show at face value and keep my over-thinking to a minimum. [​IMG]

    I've read the graphic novels too but there are lots of differences.

    oh man!! **** happens!
    I was a little worried that Rick wasn't going to kill this guy at first. Obvious threat.

    Rick Grimes for defensive coordinator?

    ^^^^^ Yeah...it was kill or be killed at that moment. Luckily Rick has had a lot of practice with a machete to the head lately. lol

    OMG Episode 4! Are you freaking kidding me?? Man I didn't see that coming. Carl has gotta be mentally screwed after that.

    A true white knuckle episode! Emotionally exhausting. What a show.

    Is it me or does the governor remind you of Liam Neeson?

    Spoiler alert!



















    On Talking Dead the director of the last episode said there were drag marks (from where Lori died) to the pot bellied zombie that Rick killed, so supposedly he ate her. But how could one zombie polish off an entire woman? I know, the whole thing ain't real dummy. Still it would have been better and more plausible if there were 3 - 5 pot bellied zombies and Rick just goes off on a blood rage and kills and mutilates them all.

    ^^^^^Well it's possible there were other Walkers there and they might have wandered off after the gorge fest.

    Merle is the new Daryl - every scene he is in is awesome.
    Andrea is the new Lori - needs to die

    I did not read the comic books/graphic novels so have no idea where this is all going, and dont really care. There are so many possibilities, it seems like they can keep this going for as long as they want. It's great that they are willing to kill off major characters. While it is somewhat risky in terms of holding fans, it is a great way to keep the material fresh and avoid the stale-formulistic method that eventually drags on most television (such as the horrendous Law&Order/CSI tripe). While this show may still fall prey to the same factors at work, I think they have cut a smart path to sustainability. I hope it works. Maybe I am wrong but I just can't see killing zombies as ever getting old.

    I also think the Talking Dead afters show is also fun. I would make Sara Silverman a semi-regular. Who else is going to come up with a live, off-the-cuff line like, "Carl's future is to be the first gay president?" Plus, it's a great platform for the cast, especially the ones like who have been killed off such as the guy who played T-Dog.

    "Maybe I am wrong but I just can't see killing zombies as ever getting old."

    You are not wrong.

    I see no way that this ends well for Glenn and the girl.
