So I am now current on The Walking Dead. I was so badly wanting to see The Governor dispatched in the slowest and most gruesome manner, but it looks like they're saving him for another time.

It's funny how you develop an in-group mentality even with fictional characters on a TV show, because in the premiere for Season 4 they show all these dozens of new people milling around and being all familiar with the established characters and I'm like "Excuse me, but who are you people?"  It was the same way with Lost.

LOL.  Damned if I don't know what you mean!  And then, to boot, they started killing them off before we got a chance to know them.

Yeah, it was pretty obvious those folks were wearing the red shirt when they beamed down.

Herschel's getting a little Dale-like.

It is tough for me to explain why, but, Herschel and Dale are two of my favorite characters. I would not want to be Rick, for sure.

Yeah, when he got all preachy about Carl shooting that guy with the shotgun. I understand not wanting to destroy the humanity of a young kid by having him become an executioner, but I would say what he did there was at most a moral gray area. The fact is, that guy with the shotgun had just participated in an act of aggression against Carl and his people, an act of aggression in which he came prepared and determined to kill them. The tables turned and he stumbles upon Carl and Hershel. They order him to drop the gun and instead he keeps approaching them saying "I'm going to give it to you". No, that's not the act of someone compliant. If you're surrendering, you just drop it. I think I probably would have shot the guy too under those circumstances.

Don't see why Hershel had his panties all in a bunch over that. "War is hell" after all.

They talked about that possibility in the Talking Dead show that comes on afterward. Was that the Governor's voice on the radio transmission? Herding the undead is certainly his MO from previous attacks.

LOL. The radio transmission might've just been him trying to lure people to a new Woodbury type deal, if it was even him on the transmission. But yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that massive horde they encountered had something to do with him. He was using those big wind chime things to attract them before, and the sort of research he had Milton doing makes you wonder if he has some sort of scientific aptitudes and has maybe learned how to mass manipulate the hordes.

On another note, one of the things I've been wondering is why they don't use .22 firearms? They would be pretty ideal for the job I would think: lethal enough since you have to do a headshot anyway, easy to transport bulk quantities of ammo, fairly quiet report compared to larger calibers.

I do like how in Season 3 it showed them finally using improvised silencers on their pistols. And why is Michonne the only one using a sword? Something like a Japanese katana is a perfect up close weapon against the "geeks".

I loved Dale at first, and after a while, he wore on me. His perpetual concern, and constantly reminding people to remember their humanity... It got to the point where (hyperbole) taking a dump had a moral downside with Dale.

I absolutely LOVE Herschel, but I'm sensing a change in the character that makes him seem more Dale-like. I hope I'm wrong. Heck, I hope he lives, now. Dummy threw himself right in there, didn't he?

That freak Marilyn Manson was stoned, retarded, or both.

Me too.  Dale *did* get on the nerves -- you don't get to keep your humanity when you're dead there -- and I don't care much for Herschel's unnecessary self-sacrificial turn either, what with the group's only real doc already sick.

If the Governor is controlling the Walkers, then I'm afraid...

I hated the pigs had to go......but since we don't know if the pigs caused the disease ( or visa versa), then so long piggy.

Just thinking out loud, but if noise attracts the walkers, then they need to find an ice cream truck....Those things are always obnoxiously loud.

On one of their supply runs, they ought to try and bring back a backhoe or something that could be used to build some real fortifications. Maybe a trench line. The walkers would fall in and get stuck for easy dispatch, sort of the like the trap that The Governor used to catch them.

A trench with spikes......and gas. I love the storyline, but honestly, too many ways to keep the walkers away from camp.
