Must have missed that. Thanks.

Maybe that's what he was saving the walkers in the barn for? :lol:

I sorta didn't get bothered by Lori over the last two seasons, but the way she pulled back...

My opinion of her has gone into the shitter... Worlds worst mom, check, lady macbeth much, double check, takes the high road about screwing her husbands partner and setting the chain of events that caused them to have to fight to the death, triple check.

... Behaving like she'd have rather Shane won, instead of her husband... Time to check out lady...

Lori has absolutely no moral high ground to use, and her behavior in season three will most likely be the type that undermines the group in any way possible.

Carol I get, Maggie I get, Andrea I practically adore, Michonne, I only saw in shadow, but all of them are a damn sight better folk than she is...

Always whining about carl being missing... The first twenty times, yeah, okay, your a worried parent, the last twenty times.... Your retarded, lady... And probably the worst parent left on earth... Hell, SHANE WAS A BETTER PARENT THAN YOU....

Okay, rant over....

In the Graphic Novel, i remember as a kind of bitchy alpha female, who clearly didn't have a good relationship with her husband to start with.. She argued, but it was a matter of parenting, and trying to hold Carl's childhood intact... Eventually accepting reality, but I understood her motivation... She was literally a mother hen, but in the Series...
She's a vindictive twit...

Lori reminds me rather strongly of a few tweekers I've had the misfortune to meet; I keep on expecting them to show her hiding a couple baggies of crystal in her gear...

Rick seems to have take the place of Merle in Daryl's loyalties, with Merle's return next season I imagine we'll get to see if blood is thicker than water.

There is one other explanation for Lori's reaction when Rick tells her Carl put down Shane; I've never meet a hound like they made Shane out to be that wasn't always trying to screw his friend's gf, so maybe not only was Shane the baby's father, but Carl's as well...

If Daryl is taking the tyrese role in regards to Michonne, I wonder how big bro is going to feel about that. Could it be what forces Daryl to choose the group over Merle?

Thank you RickOShea. Seriously!! You're on a farm in rural Georgia with a Hollywood budget and you can't turn a bean head into a modified reel mower to take out a herd of Zeds. FAIL.

I have to say Daryl is one hell of a stand up guy. His redneckery is like a beacon of Good-ole-boyness. Awesome the way he backed Rick up while still being true to his group. Ricks wife needs to be dropped off the roof like bad porn.

She doubles over.

That's what she was so upset with/angry at him about. That Rick allowed a situation where it wound up being Carl that put down "Walker Shane".

The dumb broad should have figured out that Carl would have to put down a zombie sooner or later. She should have been a real mother and kept better watch on him instead of letting him do as he pleases

Damn I was sort of thinking maybe one of Michonne's zeds was going to be Merle. He had already lost a hand. But that picture clearly shows neither zed is Merle. Would have been a really fun way to have Merle back, armless and leashed LOL :lol:

Sonofabitch!!!!!! Just burned through 94 issues of the comic and now I guess I'm waiting for the next one to come out. Anyone know when it does?

by **Mannlicher** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 6:04 am

The finale was one of the better episodes. Packed full of drama and action..........and zombies

Ever notice that the vast majority of crises the group goes through, are the direct result of a Grimes family screw up? Again, Rick, as leader, had no plan, no control, no idea. What a loser. You would have thought that at least one or two of the folks would have figured what a bug out bag was, and how to pack one.
Carl, as usual, was out of control, out of pocket. Lori, when told about Shane's demise, went nuts. Guess she loved ole Shane, eh? Her reaction sure hammered Rick.
Speaking of coming clean about Shane, Rick did a piss poor job of explaining it.

T-Dog got some lines, mostly stupid ones. Will he and MIchonne hook up?

Andrea had more to her than I thought. It was a treat to see her meet up with Michonne.

The Prison. How do they find it? Looks like it is just on the other side of those woods. Hershel should have known about the prison.

Carol is still a whiny cypher. Glenn tightened up. Maggie was not as strong as I thought she was. Hershel showed gumption. Daryl was a rock. You have to like him.

Zombies... dead humans... running... shooting... running... and best of all ZOMBIES!!!! Great damn episode.

clearly " Michonne " is a Strong sword weilding woman , and obviously she dont take no Cr#p thats pretty clear . its gonna be interesting to see how she interacts with the Group if she even does
especially Rick with his " Not a dimocracy " Bit .

by **Jamie** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 6:34 am

I thought it was a really good episode!

I think that various members of the group are morons, and that the group as a whole is not planning/acting in its own best interest, but the episode was well-done, and Rick finally grew a pair...

Democratic process, like saltwater fish tanks and hot pockets, is a luxury item that only the citizens of wealthy and established societies/civilizations can afford effectively and sustainably (IMHO)...I don't think that this is a good thing, but I believe that it's the way the world works...I'd love to put a legitimate right to vote and a steaming hot-pocket in the hands of every person on the planet, but they likely wouldn't have either when they wake up the following morning.

Awesome eklipsis!!! Thanks a bunch! Looks like Michonne found out the easy way to survive a while ago.

And body else catch that butt-stroke Hershel gave that Zed with his shotty? I think Herschel was more than just a boozer/farmer, and some of his war days are coming out.

It wasn't just a walker. It was Shane. A grownup (in Carls eyes, if not ours :lol:

) that he trusted.

I really didn't think they had the balls for Michionne's pets. I'm very pleasantly surprised!

Rick's dialogue through all of last night was just odd. The way he explained the shane situation was awkward. It almost sounded like he killed shane, was proud of it, and knew it was coming. They really set it up like murder, versus self defense. I still think the Shane slaughter could have been avoided. I really preferred the way the situation unfolded in the GN. They made Shane too likeable and realistic in the TV Show.

Excellent point. Why not just climb up and toss the ladder aside? Or bring it up with you, they could have corralled more walkers that way.

I thought Rick's main reason for starting the fire was to try to draw the attention of all the walkers that were spread-out everywhere, not just the ones that were hot on his and Carl's heels.

But then he was stuck on the roof of a burning building.

The better question is - Why did the zombies go for the humans and not the cows? If you are an undead person who feeds on raw flesh, would you go for the snack, or the whole meal? I guess that confuses me.

And wtf - you live in a zombie apocalypse and have absolutely no bug out plan? No fortifications at all? No perimeter alarms of any sorts? Everyone is dead... why would you NOT have motion activated solar lights around the perimeter?

Why would you not have the vehicles moderately armored, or have steel shutters / bars for the 1st floor doors and windows? This group doesn't even earn the right to live.

Sooooo you're saying they wouldn't have survived a hanging drop from a ten foot tall platform?

Or more likely, were they exposing themselves on that side of the barn, trying to draw in some more walkers, before running around the loft to the opposite side of the barn and escaping down the outside ladder on that side (the one Glenn used when he was going to meet Maggie for some "sexytimes", but had the mood ruined when he saw the walkers being kept in the barn).

If anything, Jimmy and the RV probably came closer to screwing-up Rick's plan than contributing to it.......Especially when Jimmy decided to put it in "park" and go out to try and hang-up a string of vintage owl-shaped party lights on the Winnebago's awning. :roll:

Either way, the plan worked and Rick and Carl made it to the house (just in time to save Hershel's tunnel-visioning arse). :wink:

Could, in all likelihood, be both. For every practical, blank-firing firearm on a movie set, there's a cast-resin duplicate that gets handled during most of the shooting. Sometimes a softer rubber replica as well, in case, for example, one the actors has to pisto-lwhip somebody, and the director doesn't want the stuntmen to step in. Notice how Rick's Python occasionally appears to have a satin finish rather than bright nickel? You're looking at the repro.

I suppose that's possible. But every still photo or screenshot I've looked at has distinctly shown a Remington bolty.
