I was just looking on Wikipedia and the actress who plays Beth (Maggie's sister) is 28! I seriously thought on the show that she was about 14.

I was channel surfing this morning and came across a 1969 movie on AMC, The Gypsy Moths.  There was a young actor who I recognized by voice, but couldn't immediately place.  After a second or two, I realized it was Herschel.  I then looked up Scott Wilson's acting bio.  I didn't connect any of the following:

1)  He was the killer Dick Hickock in In Cold Blood;

2)  He was the prisoner, Harvey Oberst, sharing a cell with Sidney Poitier in In The Heat Of The Night:

HO:  "You think he could bring me a cheeseburger?"

Tibbs:  "Onions?"

HO:  "Now you're talkin'."

I think those pics are an insult to the brain dead. Everyone knows the walking dead is much smarter than a walking Dem.

** SPOILER ALERT **

Dumb question:  On tonight's episode, the grandpa with lung cancer dies.  No one bites him but he still turns.  Do all the dead turn, even those not bitten?  Did I miss something?  I thought you had to be bitten to turn, or does that just accelerate the process?

Yup. You die; you turn.

I wonder what circumstances will lead to the impending death of the Guv's new "daughter" being blamed on the prison gang? Cuz ya gotta know it's coming.

I started watching this a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it. I'm right at the beginning of Season 3 and last night just finished the episode where Lori was given a C-section/dies as a result. I think I got something in my eye watching the end of that episode last night.  :'(

I really like the way that Darryl's character is developing - instead of doing the typical Hollywood thing and using his character solely to beat up on rednecks, the writers seem to have an actual purpose for his character (when I first started watching I immediately assumed that the writers would use his character as a whipping boy for the right - which they may - but so far I'm impressed that they've resisted the urge and haven't turned him into some weird freak that molests kids and dons a tea party t-shirt in every episode, so I guess kudos to the writers for that.)

Otherwise I'm loving the show and hope to get caught up soon. We've been watching it on Netflix and now the husband is out of town until Fri so I think I just might have to cheat a little bit and let him catch up/fend for himself when he gets back later this week.  ;D I'm dying to catch up!

Stomped around here muttering to myself for must've been fifteen minutes last night.

And, too, their "mid-season finale" crap, until February.

He was a likable character, for sure. His death was grizzly, heartless, and cruel, as was the manner of it in front of his daughters.

The Governor did not pay adequately, in my opinion. But he did get paid by the right person. I like her much more this season, BTW, now that she's more than just the untrusting scowl.

Mishawn didn't end him; she walked away and left him there.  His new paramour shot him.

True. Michonne left him to become a walker/biter. The dumb chick he was boinkin' stole her thunder.

Yup. Tyrese. That kind of creative writing is what was missing in several episodes in season one and two. I think for the most part they've hit the mark this season.

The stark truth is what I like about the show. It is not who "deserves to die!" It is just who dies.  I wonder if they (the writers) sometimes roll the dice. I did not expect Herschell but the episode was extraordinary. And men like Herschell are bound to die. The real surprise was that they killed off the Governor so easily.

So where is everyone at with this now?  I was mad about Hershel getting killed.



** Spoilers from Episode 14 below **



Easily one of the most intense episodes was last week's, the one where Carol is forced to put Lizzie down like a mad dog.  I was genuinely shocked at the realization, along with the characters, that Lizzie had stabbed her sister to death.

I don't know how you would handle such a scenario.  You could clearly never have Lizzie with you from that point on.  It was clear for a while already that she was very dangerously delusional about the nature of the walkers, and finally her delusions had driven her to prove she was right by creating new walkers: first out of her own sister, and baby Judith was just about to be next.  She would always endanger any people she was with, either by attracting walker activity or trying again to convince the unbelievers.  What was the alternative?  Leaving her to her own devices?  That would have been the same thing as killing her.

Prediction:  "Just look at the flowers" is going to become a whole meme unto itself.

Bored, pretty much.

I'd have put Lizzie down like the mad dog she was.  "We don't kill people" doesn't apply to those who will and do.
