Walking Dead

[Ironwood]

As much as this season dragged on and annoyed me,

Really ?  They brought her in from the comics ?

That has the power to be interesting or just really annoyingly stupid.  I eagerly await the outcome.

[Velorath]

There are times when reading the comics where it starts to feel less like I'm reading a zombie story that just happens to be in comic book form, and more like I'm reading a comic book about zombies.  This character and the other one who has been cast for next season are the two biggest examples of when I get that feeling.  They just feel out of place in a Zombie story as characters who are overly comic-bookish.

[HaemishM]

That fucking Lori...

Goddamn if you aren't right. I was apoplectic at her character. She bitches at Rick because he killed Shane, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE TOLD HIM TO DO LIKE TWO FUCKING EPISODES AGO! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! And how does she never ever know where her fucking kid is? GAH.

Otherwise, an awesome season finale. If the season had had a few more instances of zombie kill hoedown, it would have been a better season.

[Threash]

The only smart one during that battle was Daryl, he actually STOPPED the god damn bike to shoot zombies.  Meanwhile everyone else is driving around the bumpy ground trying to do drive bys, not to mention they put one guy on the biggest most useful vehicle and double up on the others.

I don't think they would have ever stopped getting shit about leaving her out.

Further, Killing Otis and then Shaving His Fucking Head should have been the groups first clue that all was not well in Shaneland.  He should have been treated like sweaty gelignite the minute that happened.

Shaved his head to try and hide the big patch o hair Otis tore out of his head.

[Ironwood]

I'm aware.

You wouldn't take that as a danger sign ?

I don't know if that was smart, I mean everyone else was still getting headshots while driving on bumpy roads 

[tazelbain]

Rick had to kill him, but Shane was right and Rick now knows it which is why he was laying down the law. Its going to eat him up.

[Threash]

Oh yeah, Shane was a crazy motherfucker but he was absolutely right on every single thing they argued about.  Rick makes bad call after bad call, he just has more tact.

[TheWalrus]

I'm aware.

Oh of course. I just was clarifying that it wasn't a Britney Spears move.

Honestly, without access to on-demand hot water for showers shaving my head would be step 1 for me in Georgia. It's a godawful hot, humid place.

[Xerapis]

Yeah, totally agree on the head-shaving.

I always shaved my head before field training exercises in the Army. One less hygiene concern

[Ironwood]

Well, in the event of the zombie breakout, it'd be the first thing I'd do too, since that's what the guide says we should do.

But the timing was obviously suspect.

These things are always silly but my main feeling on watching the drive by shootings is I'd have built a fuck off gigantic zombie lawn mower by now.  Would sure save the bullets.

[Der Helm]

I'd have at least reinforced the cars somewhat. The poor guy driving the RV payed for that mistake.

Would there have been A-Team Montage Music playing as you built it?

Jimmy in the RV paid for being too dumb to lock the door.

Who has time to do that kind of shit when you can wonder the woods and debate morality?

None of these motherfuckers are Jan Michael Vincent fans.

[Xuri]

Ah, if only they had played some more Left 4 Dead, they would have known that they could defeat any number of zombies by just huddling up in a corner inside the farmhouse and spamming melee-attacks until the zombies stopped coming.

[tazelbain]

So a zombie puzzle game where you create traps that kill the most zombies with limited resources?

[HaemishM]

Walking Dead Memes.

It's official. Everyone fucking hates Lori.

[Ironwood]

That's a keeper.

[Cheddar]

Chick with a sword and 2 zombies shocked me. 

One of the few times I was caught speechless.  Like... Did I just see that?

 

[Tannhauser]

Yeah, that was very effective.  I was like wha wha wha?  Badass. 

Also, never have been a fan of Andrea, but I am now.  She's on the run alone, doesn't sob or bitch or make wisecracks, she fights for her survival in a grim, effective manner.  I loved watching her fight to the very end.  It felt so visceral.

[Threash]

Her origin story was in this months playboy.  I dunno why characters in a zombie show or comic would need origin stories more complicated than "i was working at jiffy lube then motherfucking zombies happened", but there you go.

Apparently, next month telltale games is releasing their first episode of their walking dead game

[Ironwood]

Well, that's that over for another season.

Whomever is writing Lori needs to just stop.  Seriously.  STOP.  I know she was an annoying fuckstain in the comics too, but the level of really, really massive stupid hit critical there.  They can't seem to get any level of consistency with her from episode to episode.

At one point, guy who got mauled to death in RV happened and wife and I both turned around to say 'Who was he?' at which point the subtitles said 'Jimmy Screams'.  It brought to home how some characters just never got any screen time at all this season.  I mean, they're stuck in the car at the end with T-Dog and no-one's saying 'wait, who are you again ?'

Anyway.  Jail looms and mysterious challenger appears.

Yawn.

More budget next time please.

[shiznitz]

Is ep 13 the finale for season 2?  The one that ends with "this isn't a democracy any more."

[Ironwood]

I thought so.

[Evildrider]

Yep, next season 13 episodes of the prison.

[shiznitz]

I just watched both seasons over a few weeks.  I really liked it.  Dale was annoying but I would have rather he survived than Lori.  Shane storyline in both seasons was well done.   I still think survivors would have adopted more melee weapons against walkers.  Save the guns for unfriendly humans.

If there is no need to be silent, I'd rather stay out of melee range as much as possible.

Right, but the walkers are attracted to sound, so it just makes more sense to destroy zombies as silently as possible. Crossbows all around, imo.
