AMC's The Walking Dead

Finally caught the first two episodes. The walker snack in the grocery store scene was the kid who played the Flash on "Smallville" for a while. Wasn't fast enough that time. Slurp.

Kind of figured the brunette was gonna die. The show focused on her, and as a "who is she again?" character, that spells certain doom.

Only a matter of time before that fence goes down. Should be fun when it happens.

And I'm guessing Michonne lost a child due to finally breaking down and un bottling a lot of stuff. Beats me. Definitely knew we'd get a more gentle side displayed with little touches like bringing comics for Carl and a razor for Rick.

 

I'm hoping it's Herschel, I suppose, just to give him more screen time. Feel he's underutilized and fear he's going to get bumped off one of these episodes. As for how, I guess I didn't think of that, though it wouldn't be impossible for him to drag them somehow if they were -- as outofplace suggested -- dead or nearly so.

 

I don't think they came out and said it, but there was a scene last season (might have been a teaser) where Michonne and Andrea were sitting around a fire talking, and Andrea asked about them. It was strongly hinted at that they were family members. Judging from the age of her and her walkers, I'd guess siblings or cousins and not parents or her own children. They seemed to be strapping young zombies.

 

Michonne has a pretty interesting backstory if it's anything close to the Source-Material-That-Shall-Not-Be-Mentioned.

 

And that definitely includes the identities of the two pets.

 

Did they really just do that?

Did they really give away the plot for tonight's show just five minutes into it so that they can promo Talking Dead?

UN-#&(@ing Believable!!!!!

 

Thankfully, I missed it.

Really curious what everybody thinks of the admission at the end. Not surprised who it was, but just at how easily the person admitted it.

 

Solid episode tonight. I knew it was Carol the moment Tyreese asked for her help. Dead giveaway.
And I watched a bit late to skip commercials. What did the Talking Dead promo give away?

 

That scene gave it away for me, too.

 

Yip.

 

I just watched it, so I guess I missed the promo. Guess they don't show the promos for Talking Dead during the reairs.

Damn good episode. Thought Ty was a goner, and that scene when he came barging through the woods was well executed.

 

The mass-herd scene was tremendous, too. Good to see "volume" again.
