All that build-up for the first half of the season and it takes them five seconds to escape Woodbury?
This crazy Rick storyline is boring and needs to be resolved.
Do you really think that's the last we've seen of Daryl? I didn't buy that for a second.
Ghost Lori? Are you ****ing kidding me? I'm not even going to explain why this is a bad idea.
For all the talk of let's strike back at the governor before he hits us. I doubt that happens in next week's episode. It'll be spent talking Rick off the ledge, Tyrese back into the group, how to attack Woodbury, how to find Daryl, blah blah blah.
I hope I am wrong, but I'm betting that this season continues to disappoint and confuse.
I just noticed we posted at the same time.
Whatchu talkin bout Willis?!

Oorah can bash the show now that Thrones is coming back.
You're high.
Some of y'all actually believe Lori to be a ghost? They only showed her as if looking through ricks eyes when they zoomed out where we could see everyone she was not there.

That's just the name for her. It's just a figment of his imagination.

Oorah may actually believe she is a ghost.
There are honestly so many legit things to **** about in this show and you pick out this? Use your head every once in a while. Its the lump 3 feet above your ****.
Oh, so tell what other things I should **** about? The bad acting? The horrible writing? For example, when Glenn opens that truck door, he shocked to find a walker lunge out at him. Really? ****ing really? How in the **** after all he's been through, could he have legitimately been surprised at that? A much more believable scene is if Glenn calmy opens the door, let the walker fall out and then beats his head in with whatever weapon he has.
So now Ghost Lori is known as Figment of Rick's imagination Lori? You two are ****ing pathetic.
I've been bashing this show for awhile.
To be fair, there was one epic moment when Michonne skull ****ed Penny with her katana.
And by the way, how come we don't see any kid walkers roaming around? I guess there were not may kids in this world they live in?
The walkers you see were bitten at some point in time or attacked and later turned after they escaped.
Kids wouldn't be that lucky. They'd be devoured and be unable to get away.

I knew you where full of ****. You are just mad because more people don't post in your favorite shows thread. Maybe it is because you pummel them with your inane bull****. People can like shows other than your most favorite of shows. Yes GOT is a great show but not without its flaws. There is only so much you can do and all media requires some suspension of disbelief and a little imagination, which you lack due to the giant stick up your ****.

and with that how about we talk about the actual show and keep trolling bull**** to a bare ****ing minimum
Anyone else amused about the interaction between the Dixons. First time on screen together and you really get the brother vibe. Some good humor
I dont believe that, so every adult was able to get away after being bit...doesnt make sense.

I liked how Carol compared it to her abusive relationship with her husband and how she didn't know how she would react if he walked in the door right now. He fell right back into that victim roll. I think that after a while of that he will remember that he does not have to take that **** and has a group of people that are as good as family that will treat him as an adult. Some tough decisions will be made when that time comes.
No, but they have a better fighting chance, instincts and reactions than a child would. Look at the walkers. They're mostly intact and have some type of telltale sign that caused their death. You've seen people on the show completely devoured. Given time, that's how they would end up. If the walker(s) stayed and finished the job without being distracted.
They couldn't have cast two better guys. Michael Rooker has always been a quality character actor. He and Reedus have knocked these roles outta the park. Rooker is funny as hell.

Kid zombies don't exist because it would be a hassle to cast child extras. Though that doesn't explain why they couldn't cast some smaller adults to look like kids.
And not al of the adult zombies were bitten. Some could have died in car crashes - like the one in the truck that Glenn stomped on. Some could have locked up their homes and starved to death. Maybe some cut their wrists or overdosed on pills. Some were shot by accident and turned before anything ate them. Some just died of heart attacks, cancer, etc. Since everyone has the virus - once they died they rose again.
Have they explained how everyone got this virus?
Sorry, I watched most of season 1 and part of season two and just this past two episodes(end of first half and season premeir of this half of season).
No, and word is, they never will...
Loved that scene... ****in' Merle... always the ****.
That will suck if they truly never do explain it. But I guess it would be better if they couldn't come up with a good enough story. Rathere that than them do something like they did with the show "Lost". That ending and storyline was horrible.

I'm pretty sure Kirkman has said that he has zero interest in telling people how the plague started, that it's all about the survival aspect, etc. I, for one, agree with that idea. With as many times as the zombie thing has been done, it'd be pretty hard to come up with something that
A) didn't sound ridiculous or corny and
B)hadn't been done a million times before
The only explanation I can think of off the top of my head that would maybe work is one that is so dumb simple (like the black plague was) that everybody goes "that's IT?! All we had to do was wash our hands?!" But even then you're flirting with disaster and disappointing or angering a section of the fanbase.

Why are you saying every adult got away? Ive seen dudes get eaten to **** many times on this show!
Sophia got away... There's your immediate example of SOME crumbsnatchers can scram before the feast

Daryl tracked her to that farmhouse and after putting two and two together, I think she turned in that closet he went to.

I think Sophia turned just from exposure ie she died naturally . I don't remember her looking like she was bit when she got out of the barn

Out of context, (almost) every zombie is an adult that avoided being reduced to nothing. Even if parents killed their kids, the virus is in all of them, wouldn't there be more kids?
I think if you asked the producers they would say it's just to make casting the show easier vs AMC saying there can't be child zombies. Though again - not sure why they don't cast the occassional small adult to look like a kid. Maybe they're worried people would laugh at a kid zombie vs being horrified by it.
I think it's somewhat like why so many street scenes, and the yard in the prison, aren't overgrown like they should be. It's just easier for a weekly TV show to not mess with some things.
She was found by Otis. That's the only reason I doubt exposure. With the weather being good at that time, it would have taken her at least 3 to 5 days to die from lack of water. I think she got scratched by a walker in the woods, hid in the farmhouse and turned there. She looked relatively unscathed, from a walker standpoint though.
same reason kids are left out of open world games like Oblivion and when they were put in in Skyrim they were unkillable. People would get upset that you are showing children mutilated and showing them killed outside of the occasional "Sophia situation". Also the reason a lot of the other kids in the comics were written out of the TV show. Lots of stories about kids killing kids and themselves. The book was super depressing and dark for a while.

It's no wonder, seeing how much wood's got buried in her over the past couple of seasons.

My guess is she shows up every time he's faced with losing someone else. Daryl just refused to lose anyone else--he didn't let it enter his consciousness. He's more black and white than Rick is--since Rick is a more 3 dimensional character, he's not able to simply refuse to let anyone else die, since he's lost 2 of the 3 people closest to him already--one by his hand. While he killed Shane and Lori died, he essentially lost Carl at the same time b/c the kid put his mom and Shane (surrogate father) down. Now they've added in losing Daryl, and Rick's coming apart b/c he's lost everything--the baby is the only hope for his sanity at this point.
For a long time there was an unwritten rule in film and television that you didn't show kids being killed on screen. You're right about why--a bunch of zombie kids running around opens a can of worms better left closed.
One thing that has bugged me though is the scratch thing. How do you get infected by a scratch, but not from bashing in a head with a bat to the point that your face is covered in zombie juice? Do you not get any in your eyes or mouth?

This. Especially when HIV can be acquired in the manner described.
It's just the set of rules that world is bound by I guess. He'll zombie movies don't exist there either
Best I can figure, is since everyone already infected, the zombies transfer a bacterial infection to the living that causes them to develop a fatal fever.
Remember that the everyone already has the virus. People freak out about bites/severe scratches by walkers because of one of two reasons:
1) they don't know about the "everyone is infected" fact and that seems like the reason people come back
2) they know that bites from those things are filled with all kinds of bacteria and they have no access to good antibiotics
Reason two is why they have kinda gone the old school method of lobbing off limbs. It is to prevent gangrene setting in and the entire body becoming septic.
