Jay, I have to say, I wish the series was closer set to the comics. Yes, I have finally read them and am keeping up on the new ones.

The last couple of episodes didn't thrill me that much, TBH. Unlike the last few episodes where there was quite a bit more action.. These last couple just seemed really slow...

Wow... Rick really lost it last night... didn't he?
I guess he didn't share our sentiments about Lori being a PITA...

Although, I thought it was a little goofy having the walker lying there with the extended abdomen, after his Lori l'orange buffet...

It was misdirection to mess with the audience... first you thing was they didn't show Carl shooting his Mom, then you see the body missing when Rick goes in the room, then you see him pick up the bullet off the floor which could lead people to believe that Carl didn't shoot her and shot the floor. Then next they focus on the bloody streaks on the floor which could lead the audience to believe she drug herself into the corner, then you see the zombie around the corner with the distended belly thinking... my god is that Lori?... then when focused on the zombies mouth you see Lori's hair coming out of the mouth. All misdirection, all good suspense. =)

I thought it was good. I liked the misdirection also. Interested in that phone call.

Just caught up on the last episode. I though the Lori being eaten part was too much of a stretch. Since when have zombies completely eaten someone, skull included...

I agree SpawnXX, I thought exactly the same thing when I was watch it. Definitely made for good suspense. I didn't catch the hair in the zombie's mouth though. LOL

I understand the attempted suspense... unless you were familiar with the story (my son's a comic book addict, and I get a play by play *prior* to each show).
So, even though Lori's demise was configured a bit differently in the original story (a gunshot was the cause of death, as opposed to a non-anesthetized Cesarean), her departure was inevitable (thank you Hollywood for not straying too far on that count).

So, knowing she was gone somewhat mitigated the suspense. And, then seeing that overstuffed zombie lying there, like a drunken Wal-Mart party crasher, with that bit of hair trailing from his mouth... well... that image, along with the implicit fate of the Lori character being eaten -- apparently *completely* consumed... I couldn't help but bust out laughing...

Although, it *really* would have been a knee-slapper if they kept Shane around long enough to play the gluttonous zombie... The symbolism would have kept me in stitches for a week...

Thank God it's not too long a wait! Good season so far. Much better than season 3, or Farmville as I call it.

I'm reading through the comics finally while I wait for the show's return. Awesome so far, but much different character development than the show.

I think you meant Season 2, but I understood!

Still, February is long time for me. I'll be honest, I've had my up and downs with this season.

Edit: I've read all the comics so far, waiting for the next issue, December 12!

Was that really only season 2? Seems like it's been going on for longer than that. The whole detour to the science lab threw me off. I'd almost forgotten about that part until reading through the comics I was like, "hey, they never went to that government lab! Am I thinking of a different show?" Alas I wasn't, and now that story arc seems so out of place with the rest of the story.

I just caught up on season 3 over the last couple days. It certainly is a good series.

It's rather bizarre to post first here, but I thought this was a perfect thread for this forum.

A bike is a great vehicle in a zombie apocalypse setting. It uses less resources, is nimble, fast, and an FZ6R doesn't make the same zombie attracting noise as Daryl's bike.

My first bike gets delivered tomorrow, and I suspect I'm going to be totally entertained thinking about a zombie apocalypse when the road is empty.

:zombie::zombie::zombie::Sport:

lol, I always thought about that during the show. The bike that they have on there is super loud. Those ape hangers he has on there are fail too.

Only good bike during the apoc would be a motard or offroad. Try riding around in the grass sometime with your street cycle. :zombie: Snack Incoming! Also... I'd rather have a raised truck than any vehicle... riding into or through a herd on a bike would be another "Glorified Ways to Die"

I'd take a fleet of H1 Hummers with half of them towing trailers loaded with 55gal drums of fuel. Those things can go anywhere and over most anything, but boy they sure suck down the fuel.

Speaking of fuel, for those who've read the comics one of the things that bugs me (aside from the writer's complete lack of knowledge on guns), is how there is no recognition of a difference between gasoline and diesel. They take gas out of cars to put into an enormous generator, that IRL would run on diesel. :shakehead:

Just one of those things I have to ignore.
