The "Walking Dead" Thread

[ravenloft]

Just watched 'here isn't here'. Good episode, it was bugging me who the big dude was until I saw on here it's Norm from Fargo!

I recognized him from the Zodiac movie where he was the implied killer and from Gran torino where he was the barber. Great actor to make his characters believable like that, dude still creeps me out and definitely colored my perception of him on the Walking dead show. wasn't surprised one bit when it was revealed that he killed the guy, I kept waiting for the shocking twist to vegetarian respect life nice guy Miyagi, guess that was it but i was thinking darker for sure.

I have a where's the beef? card game from the 80's. I still chuckle when I see those commercials.

There was a mention that the show's writers hadn't installed miracle survivals before, but actually, Merle & The Saw was a miracle 'rescue', if you can call it that.  He couldn't reach the saw for all the time before the zombies found their way upstairs.

And Daryl and his pal were trapped inside a car, having one last ciggy, when Morgan walks by with his big stick.  Miracle timing, too. 

Conversely, Rick and Glenn, all covered in guts, has a miracle rain that ends up spoiling their Sunday stroll... and Carl's getting shot, too, might qualify as a once-in-a... uh... 'lifetime'?!! shot.  Hmmm...  And arriving at the CDC, with only one last person left... just hours before that finale.  Carol's miracle shot that set off the explosions just before axes came down on our cast's BBQ slaughters...

When considered, writing out these last-second moments isn't so rare...

She is already long dead in the comics Rick's wife Lori killed her accidently during her death in the prison.
"Lori's death in the TV show was greeted with cheers by many fans, as the character's divisive, contradictory behavior rendered her untenable and just plain annoying in the eyes of many. If you read the comics, though, you'll have to put up with her torment of the Grimes family even longer, since she doesn't die until the Governor's raid on the prison (and not before committing a final act of infanticide: falling on top of and crushing/smothering baby Judith)."
Carol and Glenn are both dead in the comics by this point as well.

I was JUST thinking about how Lori died in the comics......isn't she just a walker (well, crawler....that shotgun cut her in half) wallowing in the prison courtyard even after all these years? Nobody took out (or found) her brain, did they?

He also played Twisty the Clown from last season's American Horror Story. I am surprised that was not mentioned here.

He was a seriously creepy clown, and played brilliantly. Had no idea that was him.

Me either. Good to know. He's one of those actors that are totally believable in whatever they do.

 Another good episode. That sewer scene was absolutely creepy. Hey, where's Christine?

I don't get creeped out anymore very much (I sure wish I did) I guess I am jaded, but It was good. I enjoyed the episode even if it was getting somewhat predictable.  I very much enjoyed the sewer zombies. Even the "hero" zombies have been getting weak lately, it was good to see some real f/x effort back on the show with the sewer zombies again; still didn't top the bicycle walker from season one.
I think all the zombies should be that gooey, much better than just some extras with hollow looking eyes and gray face paint and a rip or tear or two.
Here is my zombie get up illustrating that point (extra extra gooey) that I did for this year's comic con "zombie walk"

Gross zombie, ravenloft! 

This weeks episode was a kind of catch your breath episode.

[long live kong]

That Zombie make-up is awesome Ravenloft, wouldn't look out of place on the show!

Does anybody else find the Deanna character a little creepy? I keep thinking she's about to turn governer-ess at any minute! And does anyone in Alexandria (besides Morgan) know there's a psycho with bad intentions and even worse teeth half-heartedly tied up in one of the homes?

She seems to have popped her cork after the Wolves invasion and now the hoards outside the fence.

And does anyone in Alexandria (besides Morgan) know there's a psycho with bad intentions and even worse teeth half-heartedly tied up in one of the homes?

It appears to be his secret!

Thing is, she's given me the creeps since day one! She has a beady look in her eye...like a headteacher or a dentist.

The following is just some scenarios I have been thinking about. I have read nothing about this. It is just me typing my thoughts. I am thinking that the Glenn situation is just to distract us. I think he might still be alive and that there might be another big death or shocker in the story coming. I was thinking what if the Wolf guy escapes and kills Carl or causes Judith's death, directly or indirectly. Then, Rick finds out that Morgan was keeping the wolf guy all along in a less than secure holding area. Just some things to think about.

I'm thinking the doctors son (forget his name) is going to try to kill Carl, since Rick killed his dad.
