Walking dead season 2 tonight

[gunsmith]

I want to predict that the girl who is "in shock" turns out to be infected, especially after her zombie mother attacked her, even though there was no biting.
However, since every single person on the show has witnessed someone turning, it would be extremely stupid of everyone to not see that coming.

I agree, the farm probably goes to heck as the girl turns and the hero's are in town wasting lead and time.

... but how does the girl get the infection? you see them smearing smelly zombie blood on each other season one plus the girl didn't seem to be bitten or scratched.

[CNYCacher]

He still doesn't know about the 1st time with his buddy.

I thought he knew. 

[Jamie B]

I thought he knew. 

Don't think so.

Also, Andrew Lincoln was on Letterman last night.

He is a Brit, his real last name is Clutterbuck, and he has quite the British accent.

His FIL is Ian Anderson, the flute-playing leader of Jethro Tull!

[gunsmith]

Nope, Rick knows, at the end of season two "Secrets" episode the wife confesses and Rick said he knew, I don't think Shane knows that Rick knows. Shane apparently believes the kid is his, She believes the kid is Ricks.  Probably little chance of DNA verification.

They might have not shown her getting bit.  
You'd think when someone has those symptoms, the first thing you do is rip off their clothes and inspect them for damage, then tie them down jic.

Yep.





Back to the new episode, I was thourghouly impressed with Rick sacking up and being billy bad ass.  He didn't try and talk his way out of it.  He knew the score.  He knew that the two guys were bullies and saw him as the threat, and would use one of the other two to lead them back to the farm.  There is a zombie apocolypse gang leader in there, somewhere.

Thanks for the clarification.

After the quick draw, Rick may yet be a leader.

!!! That's genius!!! I'm gonna use that line if I ever go on a date ever again, "s'cuse me miss but I need to be sure you're not a flesh eater in the larva stage-would you mind undressing while I get the restraints ready?"

Agreed on Rick. This episode recaptured some of the edginess and tension of the pilot, with the plot uncertainties and additional atmospheric music.

[Pharmacology]

I am sure that her baby's real father will drop in the plot soon.
'Course, then there is that pesky little car accident, then roll over....and the unsecured revolver.......
We need more creative walker shooting! 

They covered that in the ending of last season

[gunsmith]

Decided to start new thread instead of adding to misleading "season 2" thread.

 Shane used the same knife that he used to stab a walker in the head to slice his hand to smear the bus door to distract the walkers!

That was brought up during Talking Dead. ... either the writers goofed or they're gonna have to explain why Shane doesn't turn by next episode.

Lori continues to be quite dumb, but the hot sharpshooter gal gets in her two cents-I laughed out loud.

Pretty decent episode, except that its kind of unbelievable the injured kid hadn't spoke up before about going to school with Meg-if he did why didn't he bug out to the farm in the first place or try talking to Herschel while he was mending?

Technically this IS still Season 2.  Just the back half.

For Season 3 (16 episodes!), the Governor will rear his head up - and he's been cast already. David Morrissey, a British actor, will play the part.

[Fly320s]

How long does zombie blood stay effective?  Maybe Shane washed his knife before he used it on his hand.

[Jamisjockey]

Maybe Shane turns and becomes the first of a breed of super zombies..... 

Rick is becoming the hard nosed leader with a concious he needs to be finally.  Of course, I'm certain his wife will continue to be a dipshit.

[grampster]

I've tried watching that show.  It's really sort of boring and stupid.  All the characters do is whine and argue and once in awhile a rotting corpse staggers by.

Just sayin'

[K Frame]

"the Governor will rear his head up..."

What, Smith & Wesson is placing product in TV shows now?

I'm not sure why everyone gives Lori such a hard time. I think Andrea is a far bigger drag on the plot.

Interesting that last night's episode was quite cast limited.

No Herschel, no Glenn, no Daryl, no Dale, no Carol...

[Fly320s]

Speaking of the Governor, I shot one last Thursday during the S&W indoor IDPA match. That revolver is big!  The trigger was pretty decent, but I only got to fire six rounds of .45acp through it.

Shut up Mabs.

[K Frame]

I'll say the same thing about the Gubonador that I said about the Joodge, which is the same thing I said about the Thudd 5 when it came out back in the early 1990s....


What the flying three-fingered *expletive deleted*ck are these morons thinking?

Let's take a huge gun, make it SEVERELY under powered with some ammunition, barely able to hit a barn with a bull's ass with other kinds of ammunition, make it impossible to conceal, and adopt a breathless series of advertising scenarios designed to make this thing look like it's a solution to a problem, when in fact it's a question no one in their right minds ever would have asked in the first place.

But, you know, one of these idiotic "handshotrevolverpistolguns" (not sure which one to use, as none of them really apply) just MIGHT be enough to get Shane eaten, so I'm all for one being written into the script.

[mtnbkr]

The Gov is not a gun, but a person.  They've named an actor (can't recall his name, but he's a Brit).

Chris

[K Frame]

"The Gov is not a gun, but a person."

Duh.

David Morrissey.

What the hell is up with all the Brits in the cast? This makes two, possibly three.

I don't recall any Americans in 28 Days Later.

Uh, perhaps the Brits are more willing to work around smelly actors with poor dental hygiene? 

I also noted the short cast. Contract negotiations?

[Ben]

I'm of the opinion that all the female characters are becoming a drag on the plot. They need a Zoey-like character.

Yea, that would be a plot saving move indeed.

I find it hard to buy the fact that Zombie scent becomes so much more acute (for blood).
Unless they are developing millions more scent receptors in their nose, it ain't happening.

Makes good TV, though.

[K Frame]

"Uh, perhaps the Brits are more willing to work around smelly actors with poor dental hygiene?"

If people would simply accept universal health care, we wouldn't have to worry about zombies with decaying teeth.

"I find it hard to buy the fact that Zombie scent becomes so much more acute"

I find it hard to believe that, several months after "the event" that the zombies, with no functional circulatory or respiratory system, haven't rotted into puddles of goo.

Zombies never really made sense......except for democratzombies.    They don't rot away; but they do cause society to rot away.
