The Walking Dead on AMC

[elgerber]

OMG, Daryl holding a baby?!?!

It was really sad to hear Carl saying the names of all the women they have lost (or thought they lost). I think Sophia is the obvious choice, but Daryls was good too LOL.

Wow, Rick. Not much to say there. I hope they clean him up soon, yuck!

What did they put in the graves, the only body they might have had was T-dog. I can see doing a symbolic grave, with a marker, but why dig a hole? I don't believe Carol is dead, and the preview showed Daryl finding Carols knife. No idea where she could be hiding but she is there somewhere.

Yes, I think Penny is his daughter, that was creepy. He is creepy. I think Andrea is already starting to think Michonne may be right. Let's hope it doesn't take her too much longer. That town is so not right, the people in their dresses drinking punch etc, it was like the Stepford wives!

One thing thats been driving me nuts, Maggie was a farm girl, where did she get such a butt kicking warrior outfit LOL?? It's looks great on her, but doesn't look like anything she was wearing on the farm.

Penny is his daughter in the tv series-- I think in the comics she was his niece.

I really didn't like the idea of the gladiator arena and all the otherwise normal people thinking it's fun entertainment. Really? In normal society not everyone likes that type of WWF thing. Plus, Andrea is disgusted there, so why in the previews is she making out with the governor? She needs to get eaten, quickly.

I also don't like Rick going crazy and getting phone calls from his dead wife. I hate it in TV or movies when ANYONE goes insane and they use it as justification for doing really weird stuff that doesn't make sense. I hope he regains his marbles soon.

And how could that walker have eaten Lori's bones? I can't imagine that they would have gone and retrieved her bones to bury without killing the walker that ate her!

And I didn't think it was possible to like Daryl any more than I already did-- I am sure the producers knew that and so that's why they had him feed the baby. But really-- how can they assume Carol's dead? And did they really dig those nice big graves just so they could bury nothing (in Carol and Lori's case)? Couldn't they just put up a nice grave marker and call it a day?

I still love the series, but there are some signs of it jumping the shark that are making me nervous!

I think they dug the graves because they fully expected to find all of the bodies. They started digging the graves before Rick discovered Lori had been eaten, right? Maybe they expected to go in and find them.

I don't think the arena thing is that far fetched. History is full of examples of the troubling things that human beings will embrace as entertainment, from the Roman coliseums to the train wreck of modern reality TV. And it is really brilliant thinking on the Governor's part because it brings a reminder of what is outside the gates in without being openly dictatorial or heavy-handed.

I just assumed they retrieved whatever was left of the bodies at some point. They wouldn't just leave Carol or T-Dog wandering around as walkers, so I assume there were three bodies for those three graves. Just because it wasn't shown doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Rick is going to be progressively harder to watch as he loses it and tries to pull himself back together. The phone thing bothered me in the comics but I think it fits better in the show because there was so much left unsaid between them and their relationship was so strained when she died.

 

[crazymama]

With regards to Penny, didn't The Governor say something like "Its okay, Daddy still loves you" right before he put her down for her "nap?" Seriously weird stuff!!!!

I hope that Michonne teams up with the gang and that Darryl and she take over leading the group and kick some serious walker butt!!!! Rick is toast. Is it his guilt on top of the death of Lori that has pushed him into batty land? Is it because Carl had to be a part of it? Is it because he and Lori did not "make things right" before she died? Everyone in that group has experienced horrific loss and yet the fearless leader is the one to finally crack... I'm kind of surprised and yet very sad for Rick.

I love, love this show, but the more that I am thinking about this episode-well, there is just some stuff that is not adding up.

First, we have never seen walkers eat bones. They eat flesh, but we have never seen them eat bones. There should have been SOMETHING left of Lori.

Also, the dragging of the body? Have we ever seen walkers drag a body? Why would they? It's not like they are intelligent-they would see no need to go off and hide their prey. They simply eat where they find the body.
The middle of the road, Dale in the field, etc.-we have never seen a walker drag a body.

Then, I'm finding it a stretch to believe that the walker ate all of Lori and got a fat belly. I mean, we have seen the walkers eat before and we have NEVER seen an engorged walker. Granted we have never seen them eat all of someone, either-but, I still think if walkers got "full" we would have seen it before.

Last, Lori was shot. She was dead. Are walkers now eating people who are dead? I thought they wanted live bodies. I mean, if they are eating dead people now, why aren't they eating each other? Are they trying to say that Carl DIDN'T shoot her (or missed)?

Also, the grave thing. I can totally understand making memorials for their lost friends. It is all about closure. But, why in the world would you actually use time/effort (especially in a ZA world, where both are valuable commodity) to DIG out the graves (especially if you have no bodies). Especially as deep as Glenn was making them?

I know I am thinking about this way TOO much, but I couldn't get to sleep last night so I just thought about the plot holes in this episode .

I just sincerely hope they are not going to bring Lori back or something, I think that would just be too much of a stretch. But, the whole scene with the walker and eating Lori seems a real stretch, too.

I too, as posted earlier, have a problem with the graves. But watching Glenn dig, I wonder if it's more of a therapy. They were in such shock, it may be just automatic, and a way to do something to try to make sense of it all?

As for the bones, that part I don't get either. Maybe he dragged the body, and the bones were actually somewhere near him that we couldn't see? But I could easily see them eating a dead person. Before she turned, she was still flesh and blood to them. They don't eat walkers, but each person takes a different time to turn, so with all the blood they probably would just consider it human, dead or alive, until they actually turn?

Is it possible that maybe the zombie didn't really eat Lori? Maybe it was something/someone else? A stretch I know, but it did seem odd to me too that it could eat the entire body. That part to me was just so out of the norm of how they have been portraying things.

As far as the graves, like a pp, I think they had every intention in going back to retrieve the bodies and bury them proper. I can't remember but did T-dog get shot otherwise or could he now be a zombie?

I loved how Darryl took the baby from Carl to try to calm her and then he was the one to feed her. I love the person he has become. I thought when he put the flower on (what I assume was Carols grave) was so sweet and sentimental. If she does show back up alive, I can't wait to see his reaction. I think it'll be very heart-warming.

I also don't understand the Lori scene. However, walkers have always eaten dead humans before they "turn" on this show.

As far as eating the dead vs alive vs walker.. I think it is implied that Carl shot Lori before she turned, so she essentially is just a dead human (shot in the head so she wouldn't turn) so I don't see why the other walkers wouldn't eat her. Had she turned, I don't think anything would've eaten her (as they don't go around eating each other).

The bones and dragging part did seem off to me though.. they are animalistic, they just sort of mindlessly eat, without any sense of logic to move a body to a different spot. As for the engorged walker, I think it's plausible.. if he was the only one in that area, and had essentially all of Lori to himself, maybe he would look like that (although it doesn't explain the lack of bones). Who knows how a walker digestion process works

I'm also still pretty irritated about the Carol thing.. no solid evidence of her even being dead, or a walker. Finding left behind items does not mean she's gone. They searched for Sophia for so long..but we didn't see one moment of them looking for Carol.

T-Dog was bitten, and then we saw him being eaten alive by walkers as he told Carol to escape - and I was under the impression that when the other men (Rick, Daryl and Glenn) came back around they shot the walkers in that area and saw T-Dog's corpse (I don't think he could possibly come back as a walker after being ravaged like that?), right before they found Carol's scarf.

I hope they bring Carol back soon, I agree I would love to see Daryl's reaction!

First, we have never seen walkers eat bones. They eat flesh, but we have never seen them eat bones. There should have been SOMETHING left of Lori.They have eaten bones. Remember when Rick and Daryl are out looking for Sophie, they come across a walker. They kill the walker, and then noticed that something was stuck in his mouth. They commented that the walker had just had a meal. They cut him open to find a skull of a rodent.

Also, the dragging of the body? Have we ever seen walkers drag a body? Why would they? It's not like they are intelligent-they would see no need to go off and hide their prey. They simply eat where they find the body.

Are they trying to say that Carl DIDN'T shoot her (or missed)?Episode 3, Andrew drug that dead deer carcass into the prison yard. Two zombies began to feast. Dead or alive, they are looking for a meal.

Also, the grave thing. I can totally understand making memorials for their lost friends. It is all about closure. But, why in the world would you actually use time/effort (especially in a ZA world, where both are valuable commodity) to DIG out the graves (especially if you have no bodies). Especially as deep as Glenn was making them?I don't understand digging of the graves for bodies they never found. Putting a memorial up like a cross is one thing, but digging a deep grave is another.

That part to me was just so out of the norm of how they have been portraying things. I can't imagine one walker finishing off a whole person. Even little Lori couldn't have fit in his bloated belly.

As far as the graves, like a pp, I think they had every intention in going back to retrieve the bodies and bury them proper. I can't remember but did T-dog get shot otherwise or could he now be a zombie?I don't believe there was enough left of him to come back as a zombie.

I loved how Darryl took the baby from Carl to try to calm her and then he was the one to feed her. I love the person he has become.

Can't wait until next week!!!

Who knows how a walker digestion process works

The whole dragging thing didn't seem off to me... Lori bled out before she died, so there was a lot of blood on the ground there to begin with. Then, it's likely the walker engorged himself so much that he could barely move, so he dragged himself to the place where he finally rested, leaving a trail of blood. I didn't think he dragged the body off.

But I still have a problem with the bones. I really doubt that they would have gone and taken the bones to the grave without killing the walker that ate her.

I also rewatched the episode and noticed that one of the 3 graves is open. Since T-Dog's remains were found, and Daryl left the Cherokee Rose on Carol's (even though I have no idea what they put in there!!) ... the open one must be for Lori. So either the walker hid her bones somewhere, or ate them, and all of that I'm finding really hard to comprehend.

 

[elgerber]

The other problem with Lori's grave to me, is that no one else has spoken to Rick or gone where he is, so he is the only one who knows that she was eaten by a walker.

 

[msdaisy]

I give Rick the benefit of the doubt for going off of the deep end. I know they have all been through a lot, but you have to admit that your wife dying in childbirth and your son having to shoot her in the head and a zombie eating her until bloated is quite a lot to process.

Plus up until now Rick and his family were always alright - they always escaped or lived. Carl was even shot for goodness sake. Maybe Rick started feeling untouchable, and this time it just didn't go his way.

Does Rick even know Carl shot her? They didn't give any details when they came out with the baby, and he hasn't heard a word since then.

 

[nmmom95]

My son and I were talking about Rick last night. I think that his reaction is partially due to the fact that he knows he caused Lori's death. The other big piece is that he knows Carl had to shoot his own mother and he is ultimately responsible for that, as well.

 

[mousefanmichelle]

I am thinking and I know Lori is dead but what if.... Carl shot the ground and not Lori because he couldn't just shoot his mother. Carol found Lori and is nursing her??? So Carol and Lori are together locked in a cell to protect themselves maybe Carol found the infirmiry????? Random thoughts. I love how Rick is going nuts it is building his character.
The Gov. is a whack-a-do but I do love me some crazy! I like what someone posted about the community seeming very steppford wife-ish. Very true. I think there is something in the water there...

 

[ge0rgette2]

Love this show!!!!!

I really thought they would find Laurie in that room or I was hoping. I was thinking that maybe Carol found her and stitched her up and they sort of ran.

I didn't think Carl shot her, but then Rick found the casing of the bullet. I figured he just shot the gun to let Maggie know he did it. Zombie's dont normally drag someone to eat them, or so we've seen... so why this time? Why no bones? Could she have passed out after birth, assuming she was dead and Carl didn't shot her and left, then she dragged herself into a clearing of that room... I am sure anything is possible, even thought Talking Dead said the zombie at her, I didn't see the hair in his mouth - I'll have to watch it again LOL


I think they buried what was the remains of T-Dog, there was nothing left of him after the zombies got him.

Rick is definitely going nuts! Could it be his guilt? Could it be that this baby isn't his but Shane's and he knows it? Could it be he was mad at her for dying and letting the baby live? He didn't make it right before she died... I mean he was calling her name several times while running to help them when the zombies attacked in the prison yard.

I think Carol is hiding somewhere else, they find her knife next week.

Penny is the Governor's daughter, in the comic is the niece.
He's one odd guy for sure.

Why the heads? Is he using it for Penny -- giving her food, feeding her. How come she didn't bite on him before he put the bag on her head... She was pretty calm after that - I guess if you can't see you are calm?

Andrea is a jerk LOL She needs to be eaten. Meryl is whacked too! But a great character. Daryl is adorable w/ the baby now. Don't like the name they chose - seems off to name her Sophia, but then again, one hand on that day care wall was named Sophia/Sofie, right?

Something is off with the 'scientist' guy too...

 

[ge0rgette2]

Does Rick even know Carl shot her? They didn't give any details when they came out with the baby, and he hasn't heard a word since then.

He knows...

He looked at Carl and knew that's why he was crying and laid on the ground.

I am with you!!!!
I was thinking he couldn't shoot his own mother, he couldn't bring himself to do it, he never admitted, but then again, Rick knows, by the kids look or stare into space.

I honestly thought she just passed out.

LMAO@something in the water!
