Anyone think Daryl will end up killing Merle and that's how he ends up back with the group?

I dont really get why they have to stray from the comic so much. Its awesome just the way it is.

I wish it was closer to the comics too, but I don't think certain events (like Michonne's experience with the governor) would have translated well to tv with the show being on AMC.

I saw book one at Hastings today $30, $20 on amazon. Is it worth buying when you have never been into comics?

Absolutely. I've never been a comic fan and when I picked up the walking dead I couldn't stop reading it. I read the first compendium which is a little more than 1000 pages in less than 24 hours.

Is the first compendium same as book one? Seems a lot thinner than 1,000 pages.

Spoiler tagged for language not because of spoilers.

Eh, they can show people being eaten alive and taking bullets to the head I think they can hint at a little sexual assault. I hope they keep the reason why everybody leaves the prison.

HOLY ****ING SHIT


The Walking Dead’ Returns With Record-Breaking 12.3M Viewers
By DOMINIC PATTEN


AMC’s The Walking Dead returned last night from its third-season break with 12.3 million viewers, a series high for the zombie apocalypse drama. Up against the Grammys, the 9 PM midseason premiere pulled in 7.7 million viewers among Adults 18-49, a basic-cable record for a series and up 6% from the show’s previous high for its October 14 season premiere. In total, 16.6 million viewers watched Walking Dead last night combining the 9 PM premiere and 11 PM, midnight and 2 AM encores on AMC. The series was back Sunday for the last eight episodes of its third season after a break of more than two months.

The big numbers Sunday come after a record-breaking third season so far that saw the show pull in a massive 10.9 million Live+Same Day total viewers for its October 14 premiere, which bested all other telecasts cable and broadcast. The Walking Dead’s midseason finale on December 2 garnered 10.5 million viewers in its 9 PM time slot and 15.2 million for the entire night with encores. The Walking Dead’s Season 3 series average in the 18-49 demo is ahead of the averages for big network shows like The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and NCIS.

Walking Dead was renewed for a fourth season late last year. That season is expected to begin in October, according to series executive producer Gale Anne Hurd.

They couldn't just hint at her reaction though. I couldn't see a way to do that whole interaction justice on network tv.

Tyrese is a bad ass. hopefully they show that in the show like the comics!

Yeah, whatever happened to the first guy with his kid? Hopefully they show up again at some point.

Those visions of zombie bitch are soooo lame.

Yeah, I'm really hoping that's not a long plot device, but I'm not optimistic.

It was a good episode, but the ending was incredibly dumb.
