Michonne would be more likable to Rick if she would fricking open her mouth and speak instead of looking like she's just been told she has to bunk next to Merle. All the talk about not letting in the new group is such a waste because you know they're going to join up anyway.

If Rick keeps having his stupid Lori visions I think people will stop watching. Many of us couldn't wait for her to be killed off and now she won't go away. I wish they'd go on the road again. It's much more interesting when they're on the move.

How do we know it's Lori?

Who else would it be?

After her death, her name wasn't listed in the credits. It was this week.

It could be somebody from his past who hasn't been revealed. But her name being in the credits kills that theory.

It was one of the first things I noticed when I read the preview information on Dish.

I like Lori a lot better as a mute imaginary ghost.

FWIW, Breaking Bad usually airs during a time of year when the weather is better and there are other things to do.

The Walking Dead is airing in the middle of the winter and this episode aired the weekend a lot of folks were stuck at home.

I mean, that's true. But I don't think that accounts for the entire difference in viewership. Both are on Sunday night, when people are typically at home. It's not like Breaking Bad is on Saturdays at 3 p.m.

Walking Dead was up against the Grammys and the Fox Animation block.

Good point. Makes it even more impressive.

I chose The Walking Dead over the Grammys. Really wasn't all that difficult a choice, either.

+1

Also, wasn't Walking Dead only supposed to be a mini-series that first year? That's what I remember. The ratings were so massive and the following wanted more, so AMC gave us more.

No, it wasn't going to be a mini-series, but if it failed after the first season, then yeah, it would have been gone.
It just blew up massive quick and they signed them up for season 2 after the initial numbers....then they threw in Talking Dead since people were clamoring for more.
I wonder how the comic market has done, especially with the book just hitting 100 recently. I see they are selling the books as volumes now.

That is pretty standard for comic books.

That's cool. It got my wife into reading them.

The market for Walking Dead comics has been great. Image basically lives off this one title. Issue 100 was the highest selling single issue last year with more than 335,000 sold. And the trade paperbacks are almost always among the highest selling TPBs on the month they come out.

But we're not supposed to discuss that here. ;D

Should we read anything to Beth's lingering cheek-kissing of Rick?

While back they made a point to show her flirting with Carl. Now she's taking care of that baby and acting smitten with Rick.

KYSportsWriter · Feb 14, 2013

I don't think we should. It was just a "I'm glad you're back and ok" type thing.

Cleveland's Playhouse Square advertises "The Walking Dead Live" event with Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Steve Yeun (Glenn), among others. Everyone rushes to buy tickets for Christmas presents. Show sells out. Playhouse Square announces Reedus and Yeun drop out the day of the show. The show is no longer called "The Walking Dead Live" and no longer has an affiliation with AMC. People go nuts on Facebook.

No. She's got a crush on Rick. I'd bet money it will be a storyline and possibly part of the reason for coming friction between Carl and Rick. Carl expects to be hittin' that soon.

dargan · Feb 16, 2013

That's what I was thinking.

Problem for Carl is he's, like, 12.
