That's the way I took it too. Even then though it's like, "Ok, he saved my life, bitch. And why did you let him out of the house unsupervised? You're looking at me? What the hell were you doing, complaining again about nothing? If you hadn't of left Carl out there I could have just sprinted back to the house. Instead we had to go to the barn and split up."
She's such a dumbass.

To me, I think that if you enjoy the show as much as it seems some people do here, it would make sense to check out the backstory for the show. For me to say it was lame, that probably was a bad choice.

As far as having internet friends, that's not necessarily my biggest concern.
I may have been out of line in giving away a couple of plot points, but I made an assumption, which in retrospect was a poor assumption, that most people had knowledge of what to anticipate in season 3.

I still think, based on the fact that it's a network television show, a lot of what happens in the comic will have to be re-worked and re-written for the show.

I do apologize for giving away plot points from the comic book series though.

for future reference....you can see how to do a spoiler by replying to this post and eyeballing the guts. really coulda done without the comment about ricks hand though....dammit.

Spoiler!

I kept waiting for more zombies to show up at the campsite to thin the herd a little more. A little disappointed that only a couple non-characters got whacked. All of our predictions were horribly off.

thats kind of what Kirkman said on the Talking Dead after the show. When asked about Loris reaction. It was the comment about Carl puttin down Shane that she freaks out about.

yeah the two that were eaten....we thought T-Dog had it bad. at least he does get to talk! wonder what the pay was for the guy in the camper. he never had a line did he? come to think of it....the way he died....maybe he was reeruned and couldn't talk?

But whatev. It's a show about zombies so I'm going to suspend my disbelief. Plus I've been waiting on someone to show up with a katana.

They don't, but with no lower jaw, they can't bite, and just as importantly can't moan. and with no arms, they can't grab and claw. Plus, what better pack mule than a zombie, they never get tired, and will follow you thinking that they can eat you all over the place.

On top of this, the smell of the zombies will disguise your delicious pork chop smell to other zombies, so you are more easily capable of slipping through them. Is it fool proof, no, but every little bit helps.

He had a few lines. He wanted to go with Rick and Shane to look for Sophia.He wanted a gun.Told Rick that Hershcel was good with it.

Also he was the one who told Herschel the walkers were stuck in the swamp.

Exactly. That's what my wife and I said.

Lori knew that Rick was going out with Shane to search for Randall and at that time Carl was still in the house. Her reaction, I thought was to Carl shooting Shane...which pissed me off because what was he supposed to do, let Shane eat Rick?!?

Then the scene where Carl turned to his mom and started to cry pissed me off. He is the one who left the house the night the horde showed up, he stole Daryll's gun and caused the walker to get out of the mud causing Dale's death, he was the one who shot Shane, and he was the one who wanted Rick to execute Randall...now all the sudden he turns into a little bitch? dunno, just annoyed me.

I hope Daryll plays a bigger role next season, he's probably my favorite character. Herschel was kind of badass poppin zombies, thought he was going to get it for sure after he gave Glenn his pocketwatch and basically gave Maggie over to him to protect.

Loved Rick taking charge. I'd get sick and tired of people bitching and second guessing me too. I loved the whole "If you think you can survive on your own, then go. There's the door."

I did think his explanation to the group about how/why he killed Shane sounded a bit unhinged...

So, they "think" they can eat you, so they'll follow you. Wouldn't they just constantly be walking all over you? Why would they stay at the end of their chains and not be right up on top of you? Is this addressed in the comics? Of course, we only saw a few seconds of footage, so maybe they don't normally stay back so far.....

Just enough to get the actor his SAG card, then.

Basically.

just enough for you to know who he was when he gets eaten.

I agree with this. I re-watched it to make sure, and I was right, she was disgusted when Rick told her "Carl put him down".

Maybe she was mad that he didn't know his name.

He had a pretty big role this season
