it did feel pretty lame and rushed. like couldn't he have told a story about his dead wife beside a fire in the next episode or something. that would have been enough to seal the deal and remove her initial suspicions

I'm still half wondering if he has his wife and child's heads in that aquarium
I didn't think to look at the time

I wasn't surprised Andrea took so quickly to the governor, he offered her exactly what she wants, a safe place, a community, friends, etc.

not to mention all the undead heads preserved in formaldehyde she desires

andrea & michonne kinda bore me on their own, they need to get back with the main group imo

did the two chained zombies like rape michonne or something? just based on her reaction when andrea quizzed her.
― Heterocyclic ring ring (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
i assumed they were related to her, because they were black

in the comic one is her boyfriend and the other a good friend

I'm wondering if they're setting it up for Andrea to be playing the long game - good prisoner to Michonne's bad prisoner. But it would be pretty lame if they went that way without Michonne apparently being clued in.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 22:38 (eleven years ago) link
Andrea seems to self-involved to play a long game? idk. Be good if she was.

so Lori choosing to give birth/die was like... one of the most gobsmackingly stupid things I've ever seen in my life? I guess cool that they're dropping all the dead weight though. I meant I just I don't even I mean what I mean
Anyways good luck feeding that baby I guess?
― Clay, Monday, 5 November 2012 12:49 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah that scene was kinda dumb. That baby's going to be dead weight though.
Also RIP T-Dog, an extra even in death.

yup, golf clap for AMC's rationing of minority characters
― Nhex, Monday, 5 November 2012 13:47 (eleven years ago) link
if Lori hadn't done that, and the baby died... would it have gone zombie inside of her?
Great "WHAT'S IN THE BOX" impression by Rick at the end. That dude is kind of a terrible actor.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
rick's actor is a total ham, but i like him anyway
― turds (Hungry4Ass), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:40 (eleven years ago) link
Echoing lolzy treatment of T. I had been thinking that they really had to give him some kind of character this year, with a little arc, but no, they couldn't be bothered. Just killed him.
― Gukbe, Monday, 5 November 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i kinda love Rick's hamminess too
― Nhex, Monday, 5 November 2012 17:47 (eleven years ago) link
it was funny because only 5 minutes earlier i was thinking 't-dog's gonna be ok, they cant kill the only black guy'

I just started the third season, and wow, that first ep was great. Very much akin to the relentless, anything-goes vibe of the comic, and it didn't skimp on the gore, either.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 5 November 2012 19:25 (eleven years ago) link
Not reading thread because I'm only half through season 2, but -- what is the actual mode of new zombie production? Like, it seems like when zombies find a live human they eat the whole thing -- so what's the mechanism by which e.g. Sophia returns as a zombie? Like, when they caught her they just took a bite and then left her alone so she'd go zombie? Why?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 5 November 2012 20:17 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah some are so eviscerated that you wonder but I guess we just assume she got a bite and ran away, and then eventually turned when she was on her own.
― Gukbe, Monday, 5 November 2012 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe some savvy zombies at work?
S3E2 pretty great, too.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 5 November 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
eephus - there is an explanation by the end of the season
― Nhex, Monday, 5 November 2012 20:25 (eleven years ago) link
really? is there a whole mythology and whatnot going on? i thought it was just "oh shit zombies" and then let it play.
― Gukbe, Monday, 5 November 2012 20:27 (eleven years ago) link
/never read the comic books
That explanation explains some stuff, but not why there would be partially eaten zombies milling about. Zombies generally members of the clean plate club, you'd think.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 5 November 2012 20:30 (eleven years ago) link
ah, it's just part of their bizarre dichotomy of having SUPER STRONG JAWS AND TEETH but their other body parts get taken off by a gust of wind
― Nhex, Monday, 5 November 2012 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
OK, S3E3 was kind of crap, but it did an OK job conflating two comic book story lines.

Thank goodness this show isn't airing under the Bush administration, or even its heaviest heavy handed bits would be even more heavy handed.
Also, we'd have Bush.

that was a discussion last night - if Lori hadn't had Maggie do the impromptu c-section and the fetus died, would it turn into a zombie (because we're all infected!!!!) inside of her, or would it have just been a stillbirth since it was never born and thus not a person and only people can be zombies?
would have loved a show that decided to settle the abortion debate that way, tbh
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 5 November 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
by the show's logic i gather we'd have gotten zombie lori + zombie baby, which would've been V-levels of amazing camp
― Nhex, Monday, 5 November 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link
I wish I had a clip of that zombie baby from The Soup this week, that was so good.
― Sug ban (Nicole), Monday, 5 November 2012 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
we're not going to be shocked with Lori turns up again alive and the boy didn't shoot her, are we?
― Gukbe, Monday, 5 November 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
not really, but i doubt it... i mean that kid is plenty shaping up to be a stone-cold killer

Did Carol actually die or not? Can't work it out.
With Lori gone I won't any longer be bugged by her inability to tie her hair back even though it obviously would get in the way all the time.
― ornamental cabbage (James Morrison), Monday, 5 November 2012 22:32 (eleven years ago) link
love the way they introduced a character t-dog could relate to then instantly replaced t-dog with him

this ep was pretty horrible though.
in unrelated news, michonne is hot.
was hoping that the Guvna had drugged Andrea's booze and then as she was trying to leave she'd pass out and he'd put her head in the aquarium or something weird.
also thought when he opened the door with the brick wall hallway, that it was one of those fake brick-wall doors and lol'd and then realized oh wait it's a real door nvm
mishonne is rad, she needs her kitana back
had no idea why lori would say keep the baby not really understanding that thought process but I cried a lot at the end so rick being hammy idk, felt at least kinda right/desperate to me.

actually thinking abt Lori some more, I think that maybe it was just Lori knowing that once the bleeding had started that she wasn't going to survive anyway? Like I don't think that it was any kind of zombie related decision at all. If she's already had one cesarean then maybe she knew the deal way ahead of time and expected that she'd be sacrificing herself. I mean, it's not like the show's giving us a full medical rundown so who the fuck knows. shrug.

Out of interest, how many of you who are watching this have read the comics?
I've not seen any of S3 yet, but I have them recorded and will binge this weekend I think, but I've read all the comics so don't feel like I'm spoilering myself by being on this thread before seeing S3.
