The Walking Dead.

If you've ever watched other AMC shows like Mad Men or Breaking Bad... they always do things like that. Stuff that doesn't spoil anything, and is just there for fun.

Gotcha. "Carol" talked about - on Talking Dead - the puzzle on the table. The producer showed it to the cast at some point during production. I think the picture on the cover of the puzzle box was a picture of Sophie in a rainbow dress...?...don't remember the significance.

The Easter eggs are many. The fire looked to big for the moonshine shack but it
may have spread. Maybe we will see a fire next week.

Is it just me, or was Melissa McBride having issues separating herself from Carol...when Rick kicked her out she seemed very light and bubbly...now she seems to be grasping at straws to keep herself Melissa and not Carol?

So tired of this show. They took a perfectly good comic series and turned it into a soap opera, which before watching this show I would not have thought possible. No wonder Frank Darabont left once he realized the direction AMC wanted to take it. I wouldn't stand by while someone took kerosene to my work either. I'm amazed Robert Kirkman is still working with these clowns, although I guess it's probably to keep them from veering even further off-course.

So, you don't like it? Is that what you're saying?

​rhino out!

I suppose there is always the "Book is better than the movie" crowd - I'm that guy too sometimes. And, I'm not a huge fan of AMC, they're pretty much like all the rest when it comes to PC BS. However, this show makes me think about possibilities. I'll admit I started watching the show because I'm interested in survival especially in a modern setting, but the show has caused me to look at the people dynamic in an extended survival situation. You don't really even need zombies...the people are the real threat. It could just as easily be any other pandemic that forced the end of civilized and powered existence...the people dynamic would be pretty much the same. In this episode, what to do with a child that is criminally insane...very small group setting...open and relatively exposed. It's a troubling scenario.

You are correct in that people would (and always have been) would be the main issue. Gathering, growing, defense are all in a work ethic mind set. Getting people to work together for a common goal in the long term, that would be tough.
Decisions about discipline (it would come up) and sickness both physical and mental would be a reality.
To lead a group in this scenario would be beyond hard.

Love the undead

Yes we all like this show. In particular what's you like?

I'm not sayin' nothin'..... I want to, but I'm not. I wonder why someone hasn't taken out a zombie with Barrett, or something like that?

I own the entire comic series and have read it all, and re-read it along with the show. The thing about the comics is the zombies almost become a non-threat, and that is what seems to be starting to happen in the show. Once we get to know the Saviors zombies will have a whole new use! The comic really starts to focus on the human threat, and the starting of groups for survival. I think the show has its ups and downs, but its still a good show imo. And in all honesty, doesn't seem to be veering too far off course with the comic...

 

[jcmagnum]

My favorite episode was when left Meryl on the roof.

 

[BOTA56]

And as far as the "Book is better than the show" I dunno... There seems to be times in the comic where 6 issues go by of Rick planning to do this and that, and no action. Keep in mind 6 issues is 6 months of nothing happening.

Well now because of the plot they are pushing out 2 issues a month, but even during this its a slow moving plot. If they were not putting out two a month right now... BORING!!!

Agreed. I have read all the comics, some parts are better than the show and some parts of the show are better than the comic. IMO People should always be highest on the radar for defense, we have the best thinking ability.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Kinda glad I have not read the comics. I like the show for what it is. It's normally a let down when you go into it with high expectations... Few movies are as good as the books they are based on.

Just finished watching an episode of "NCIS", entitled, "Hit and Run". They were showing flashbacks to Abby as a child. The actress playing the young Abby was the same on that played Lizzie on "The Walking Dead". Except this time she wasn't psycho! Always like looking for actors in different roles on different shows.

Great catch! I remember that episode, but never would have made the connection. Hairstyle and age differences, of course.

so who is going to die tonight!?!?! Anyone? I bet its another boring filler episode getting ready for the final one of the season.
