Rick kills Daryl tonight... Always trying to stir up shit You try out that new shooting range in SV yet? I saw Hall played a close game against a tough team.

Always trying to stir up shit You try out that new shooting range in SV yet? I saw Hall played a close game against a tough team. No I haven't gone there yet. Heard alot about it though. I got several friends that have gone. It's a half block away so I got plenty of time. The word on the net is that Daryl admits to the council that he's gay, and Rick kills him to keep him from outing him. Then he burns down the death row wing of the prison where the S&M lair was setup, and Glenn is horribly burned because he was bound and bent over a barrel with a red ball in his mouth. Ving Rhames style. This is just the scuttlebutt going around the net though.

God, I hate when they put shitty country music in TWD montages or fade-outs. - - - Updated - - - I suspect we will need a tear-o-meter after this episode for some of the hardcore action fanatics.

So when did they re-cast the Governor as Kurt Russel decked out in Escape From New York apparel? Another pretty damn good episode. Not as clutch-cargo as last weeks, but it's definitely interesting what route they're taking the Governor in now. I wonder if the Governor is going to attempt and bring his new 'family' to the prison and extend an olive branch to Rick and Michonne? And if so, I wonder how the new family will react when Rick and Michonne inevitably tell them about how the Governor gunned down a dozen or more of his own people? This episode is definitely another indication that all season they've put a very noticeable focus on increasing the threat the zombies possess, just like they said they would.

If they go that route then it's just terrible writing after 6 great written episodes

It was actually a pretty good episode. A little slow but it didn't detract from it. This episode shows more of the world they're in, which is what I like to see. There doesn't have to be action all the time IMO. I just get sick of the same ol shit with the prison, and contrived plot threads. This was a refreshing break from all that. Looks like the next episode will explore things further. Last 3 episodes have been pretty damn good. Hope that continues...

I suspect we will need a tear-o-meter after this episode for some of the hardcore action fanatics. The Governor kills a walker with a bone. That's all I need.

Never going to happen. If they go that route then it's just terrible writing after 6 great written episodes What isn't going to happen, Governor trying to save his "family" by going to the Prison? I think it's more likely they're going to get killed off and drive him back to insanity / self-preservation mode, but depending on how they handled it I don't think it'd necessarily be TERRIBLE writing to go there. Obviously the Governor wouldn't be allowed in, that's not what I was suggesting, moreso that they might take in his new companions, then kick him to the curb. If they're attempting to redeem his character, I don't see how it would be so far fetched to think the Governor might try to weasel his way into the prison. He was a sociopath after all, remember the encounter with the National Guardsmen? Or how he treated anyone first arriving to Woodbury?

Im sure this was a merging of the novels and the tv show. Those new characters are from the first TWD novel. Not really sure though because I couldn't make it all the way through due to the terrible way it was written. Anyway, this episode was a nice surprise. Would have liked to have seen more Governor on the road though

Im sure this was a merging of the novels and the tv show. Those new characters are from the first TWD novel. Bingo! That's exactly what I said when watching the episode. Also, notice the new lady-friends name? Lily.
