Ugh! Lori is a dumb bitch and it looks like Carol is going to be whispering in Daryl's ear now.
Was excited for Michonne until I saw the woman who will be playing her is not attractive at all. Rutina Wesley would have been a thousand times better pick. |

Wonder if they're all really infected, or if Shane just got zombie AIDS from doing the trick Rick taught him in the school bus, then somehow infecting the prisoner since his wrists were all cut up.
Anyway, were those walkers in the pic with Raiden? |

I love the fact that absolutely everyone on this show is a crack shot to put military snipers so shame. Check out Glenn getting surgical headshots with a goddamn shotgun fired from a moving vehicle at night.
Also someone writing this show is just a massive misogynist. Just the worst female characters, except Andrea pretty much. Loving the way Rick's character is going. Amped for Michonne and the prison next season. |

When Glenn started to snipe headshots from the moving vehicle, I was like "Daaaaaaamn, pizza delivery boy has got some Terminator-esque skills!"

Also, I like how they explained where the horde suddenly appeared from. Mindlessly followed a copter off in one direction from a major city. Then followed the gunshots.

Excellent ending for now.
- Rick is losing it, showed some shades of Shane's style there. - Lori is a super-bitch. She amps Rick to kill Shane than goes soccer mom when the deed is done (in self defense on top of that). - Andrea is badass. - Michonne is fucking here, man. - Prison time. - Hope to see Morgan and Deryl's bro next year (one confirmed). - Yeah, took the comic a while to make the point but they are all... Walking Dead. The clear point is to stay alive. |

Thinking that some casual fans might assume the show jumped the shark a bit with the hooded character with zombie slaves. Wife was put off, I definitely don't think it fit with the over-all tone...
Hmmm...good episode though. |

Definitely did not fit the tone. If I did not know that character was coming eventually (from everyone here not shutting up about her), I would have definitely been all WTF.

I like Maggie and Andrea a lot. They just don't have prominent enough roles to drown out the trifling, pathetic worthlessness that is Lori and now Carol apparently. Hopefully there will be a stronger female presence with Maggie, Andrea and Micchone.

Didn't fit the tone. I had no clue about it. But the character looked badass, even one of my friends who doesn't browse the internet at all thought it was cool. I actually thought she was going to swing the sword and decapitate Andrea

Last thing this show needs is some super hero type, which is sort of the impression the sword lady gave off. The show does a good job of creating what a realistic zombie outbreak would be like. I hope it doesn't go over the top in season 3.

Thought the thing with Andrea was going to lead to her running into the "Other" camp. Or that Rick and group would run into the other camp since Shane found out from the dude that they were camped out by the highway.
Either way, thought there was going to be some sort of pay off with the whole "Others" situation. |

I don't know if you read the books but Michonne isn't over the top. Outside of her preferred katana weapon she's on the same badass scale as Derryl, Andrea, and previously Shane. She just happens to use a katana, just as Derryl has his signature weapon that isn't a gun.
I imagine Michonne, being a katana swinging black chick with a dead serious attitude, will join Derryl and Shane as a fave for a lot of people. |

I haven't read the books, and I imagine the majority of viewers also haven't read them. That's why I'm a little skeptical, because I have nothing but what they show me to base the story on.

The show runners already hinted at a 4-5 year run. I don't see it going past Season 4 personally.

The prison sounds like a magical place with lots of potential for great storylines. Like someone else said, what better place to keep the zombies out than a fortress. I hope I am not disappointed.

The hood that Micchone wears smells like walker flesh and guts. It works the same as when Rick and Glenn covered themselves in it in the first season. walked by the walkers undetected. That's why she wears it. She has figured out a way to get around and survive in this world.
The walkers she has on chains are missing their arms and jaws, so as not to scratch or bite anyone. Walkers don't attack other walkers, so it's another kind of defense she uses against possible hordes. She is also very prominent in fencing, hence the sword weapons. Nothing "super hero" about the character. |

Check you out dropping knowledge.
I think the response to her was more gut reaction. If you're not familiar with the comic, you wouldn't really know all that so you'd think they were taking it somewhere else. |

Yeah. I actually had that kind of feeling as well personally. Not that she's "uber-badass" or anything. It's just weird seeing that kind of character. It's not what we're used to so far in the series. Completely different than any character that we're used to thus far. And I think that's what makes that feeling.

There was almost a year between the first season finale and the second season premiere, and they did fantastic numbers. They'll be fine.

Caught up with Season 2 of this over the weekend. Not gonna bother with a huge list of thoughts etc, since I've kinda already missed this entire thread, just wanted to say I was completely blown away. Fucking loved it, hence why I got through it all in two days, couldn't turn it away.
Loved the scene on the highway in episode one, when they were hiding under the cars. Didn't give a shit about Sophia, but was sad when Dale got it. Wanted to hate Shane, but there were a lot of times where I could understand his logic. Love the moral dilemmas this group keep facing and everyone's different views on things. The last episode was insane. Really intense and brutal. Really looking forward to the next season, just a shame we have to wait so long for it. Watched the 'Torn Apart' Webisodes as well. Umm... they were okay, I guess. Nothing amazing or important, but still pretty sad when Hannah left herself to be eaten so her kids could escape. |

I'm all over this as it has finally came back on poor man's TV in the UK. Shane just had his heel turn, that's where I'm at right now.
