The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

But there had never been an occaision where coming clean was more important than Rick having his head clear. And in those few moments where things were calm, you don't think they deserved to enjoy those moments of peace?

And that's why the ending was powerful.

I'll put and end to the weak vajayjay talk about it being in the open and "forgiven."

The Hollywood Reporter: Rick now knows about Shane and Lori. Lori and Rick tell Shane as much?

Robert Kirkman: It’s a big revelation that Rick now knows about the affair. Whether or not he’s going to be confronting Shane immediately or whether that’s going to continue to be bubbling below the surface, we’ll find out.

So as you can see, it's not "over."

Not sure how that 'puts an end' to anything.

Rick obviously needs to have words with Shane, but that doesn't mean he can't forgive his wife.

Seriously though, of course the writers are gonna defend it. I don't see how it could be more powerful given that whole scene regarding the reveal was probably the most impotent handling of a major plot point I've ever seen in television. How would you act if your wife gave you the impression she nearly aborted your child, then admitted she'd been boinking your best friend since highschool? You wouldn't be bent? You wouldn't think for a second the kid could actually be his? Or would you just grow a vajayjay and say "I kinda had an idea." The truth is, with all the ____ going on, the writers really robbed that scene of any and all impact it could've had so they could hurry up and get to the cliffhanger for the next episode.

Rick didn't grow a vajayjay, he recognized the value of that moment. The way he handled it would make all the difference in where their relationship goes from there, however there's more to it than that:

I have the episode in iTunes, and I've watched the ending a few times now. I think there is a brief moment where you can see in his eyes all the emotions you would expect from a testicle endowed man, but that only lasts for a second. Those thoughts are overcome. Not just by reason, but by his true feelings. He loves this woman and feels her love for him. He also just looks to tired (for lack of a better word) to make a big deal about it. What a waist of energy to get all pissy about something that was in the past - not ongoing. Why scream at your wife when in his heart he truly knows 'the world had gone to hell and she thought he was dead.'


Just watched it again.

Love it.

Meh, I still disagree. Lori's ____ing with Shane and using him for her own selfish game and he's eating it up being a dumb pawn, always ready to swipe at the carrot she'll never let him have again.

Spoiler:

Hopefully she gets it about the same time she did in the comics or if we're lucky, sooner. Her character's more annoying than Carol at this point and I really won't miss her at all.

Well if that's the case, the actress playing Lori doesn't seem to know it.

Or won't say. Rooker didn't state he'd be back for Season 2 and was. I'd imagine there're confidentiality agreements in their contracts.

I don't see it at all.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

when you say to someone "is there anything else I should know about?" it's implied that the person is being invited to share something in a "safe" environment. Sometimes people will even say: 'Please just tell me the truth, I promise I wont be mad.'

That is clearly what is going on here. They are opening up to each other, not attacking each other.

"A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back..."



9 times out 10 when someone says "I promise I wont be mad." the end result is the person being mad and someone getting punched and/or stabbed with a fork.
That's scientifically proven by scientists in scientific experiments in the field of science.



That smiley, according to the rulZ of teh InTERn3tZ, means I'm right.

He wasn't really back.

Merle wasn't really back. Rooker was.

When I read that, I thought of the character so... I need to get some sleep.

I thought about this some more last night. I wouldn't be surprised if that's intentional. Most of the broads I knew that act like that were so self-absorbed in their own drama that they didn't care who got hit and/or hurt by collateral damage. Lori easily slips into that role.

I haven't read the comics. Are your thoughts about her based on the comic version of her?

No. The comic version doesn't have a tool to use and abuse like the show's version.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I had to think about this for a second :

Spoiler:

"I was excited when I found out that I was playing a Micchone Jaw-less Pet Walker."

At first I was like, WTF is that supposed to be?!

I forgot...

Spoiler:

she first appears with jawless walkers on chains.
