The Walking Dead (no comics spoilers)

Like I said, I'm not 100% on it. But I do know that Robert Kirkman said on "The Talking Dead" that Otis was the one that put her in the barn and "probably" hadn't even told Herschel yet.

Of course, an alternate theory is they kept her being in the barn a secret because they knew they'd just kill her.

 

Same here! The wife and I have been rewatching old episodes in anticipation of TWD's return.

 

Tonight's show was pretty good. I won't spoil it for those who didn't catch the first airing, but the end was good. Next week's episode looks GREAT. (BS that they made you wait until 17 minutes into that comic book show to see next week's preview).

 

Hmm, I guess you could say that in the sense that I left the tv on AMC, instead of changing it right away.
I just did some work while it was on in the background. It was a dirty tactic on AMC's part though. How often does a show come on, go straight through the intro, and wait 17 minutes until the first commercial break? How was the sandwich?

 

Good riddance.

And that's all I have to say about that...

 

I know how that was handled in the comics and almost wished they had done it that way. But I guess this way leaves some things open for interpretation (speculation spoiler, not a true spoiler)[spoiler:bmmv5nxh]as they speculated on "The Talking Dead" that Shane was goading Rick into killing him. Suicide by cop basically.[/spoiler:bmmv5nxh] And it makes Rick more of a badass. Comics spoiler about what we just saw:

[spoiler:bmmv5nxh]In the comics, Shane is threatening Rick, and Carl shoots him and kills him. Rick kills his zombie. They flipped it on us here.[/spoiler:bmmv5nxh]

Looks like the farm is about to be overrun. Warning, future spoiler: [spoiler:bmmv5nxh]Kirkman said Shane is not the last to die this season. Just please, please, please don't kill Daryl!!![/spoiler:bmmv5nxh]

 

The last couple episodes have been crazy. Rick's a more patient man than I, because Shane would have been zombie food back at the school.

Past comic spoiler:
[spoiler:1brvb8bc]Like Ray said, they flipped what happened with Shane on the show. However, Shane dies very early in the graphic novel series. He never even makes it to the farm.[/spoiler:1brvb8bc]

I'd add another interesting twist that already happened on the show, that deviated from the comics, but the title does say no comic spoilers so I'll refrain. Next week's episode is going to be nuts. I'm just glad it's finally over with Shane.

I could really find myself liking Daryll if he hadn't turned into such an ear collecting psycho.

 

I thought that was part of his charm.

TTF. if you're familiar at all with the comics, we meet a certain someone next week apparently. Female.

 

I do know who (or at least I assume that's who you mean), but we'll see.

Pretty sure of it?

 

100% positive. Worst kept secret of this season actually. That leaked before the season premiere.

 

Merle is a great character too (not a good guy by any stretch, but fun to watch. Or maybe that's just Michael Rooker). But neither he nor his brother exist in the comics, so all bets are off there. Robert Kirkland did say he plans on putting them in the comics now that he's seen how well they resonate with the fans. I can't say for sure, but if I was a betting man, I'd lay odds that we'll see Merle again.

The answer isn't really a spoiler, but I'm hiding it anyway in case people really want to wait until the show eventually explains it:

[spoiler:3bge1t9j]Everyone on Earth is already infected. Everyone. You don't have to be bitten or scratched. You could go without ever seeing a zombie. All that matters is you die with your brain intact. When you die, you come back.[/spoiler:3bge1t9j]

Slight spoiler: [spoiler:3bge1t9j]Supposedly we'll find out that that is what Jenner whispered to Rick at the CDC next week. Rick has been keeping that info to himself.[/spoiler:3bge1t9j]

 

**Hiding these vids in spoilers only because there's some adult language. So you've been warned.

Surely everyone here has seen Office Space, right? This scene was always awesome:

[spoiler:1rh374mk][youtube:1rh374mk]dN3v0drnTdQ[/youtube:1rh374mk][/spoiler:1rh374mk]

Well, on another forum I visit, someone remarked that the opening scene of TWD last night reminded them of that. sure enough, someone has already made a version.

I can't stop...

I'd pay to see this:

Ok thanks. I only venture out from under this rock for Groundhog's Day, and to receive occasional Steelers news updates.

Seen it? I've got the Swingline Red Stapler. No, seriously. :ugeek:

The similarity of those two scenes is downright uncanny.

I added the 'language spoiler' a little while back (badwords). You can just stick things in there without adding a disclaimer...it'll do the rest. Your way is fine of course, just wasn't sure if you were aware of it.

[badwords:11n4whmp][youtube:11n4whmp]B-Wd-Q3F8KM[/youtube:11n4whmp][/badwords:11n4whmp]

That Walken Dead is great. It would have sucked without True Romance quotes. :-D

 

[badwords:1e7o7dj1]How did I miss this? Nice addition. [/badwords:1e7o7dj1]

I really doubt that. But her addition was leaked late last summer. So long ago that people have stopped talking about it for a long time. Unless you're a spoiler geek, it's not surprising you might not have heard it.

Yep. And it never occurred to me until someone said it.

(I never know. I would assume this movie lies in the pantheon of guy movies and everyone has seen it 100 times. But as soon as I assumed, I'd get 5 guys asking "WTF is Office Space?")

 

Thanks. I thought you might enjoy it, and it seems to be a good solution to linking to videos with...colorful language. Can't be offended if you choose to disregard the warning.

Heh heh. Yeah, I usually stay as far away from spoiler write ups as possible. I like to be surprised.
I just looked it up and if they did indeed cast that actress for the role..she'll be great.

I didn't catch it either. I'm glad you posted it though, because I had to run into the other room halfway through it, and I could hear my wife 'EWWW'ing across the house.

I think your assumption is pretty accurate. I'd expect half the people I asked about Office Space to say "WTH is that?" and the other half to say "Sounds like someone's got a case of the Munday's".
