The Walking Dead

[BenGrimm]

It looks like they are basing the TV Governor on the comic Governor mostly, so if you ever get the chance to read The Rise of the Governor, you'll see he actually is a pretty sympathetic character.

I've not read Rise but he was anything but sympathetic in the Comics. More so in the show I suppose.

Last nights episode was good. The look on 'Brian's' face when they said the old man had been gone a little while was priceless. I also thought he was going to get with both sisters there for a minute. LOL

 

[BenGrimm]

So the family didn't have their apt reinforced and didn't know how to kill walkers yet somehow survived all this time? Lol

I kind of thought the same thing but Rick survived an overrun hospital while in a coma with nothing but a stretcher in front of the door, then magically woke up with no medical care for how long yet still had the strength to walk. Somethings you just have to take at face value. Maybe they just stayed real quiet until most of the walkers had moved on.

Someone is still mowing the grass too. Sure they let it go a couple weeks but they are still getting out there and mowing.

The novels are prequels to the comics, except the last one overlaps a bit. Let's just say he took a pretty dramatic change by the time he's introduced in the comics.

A massive change.

An individual in a coma or coma like state can last up to 14 days without water as they're completely immobile. I just assumed that at most Rick couldn't have been in the hospital room unattended for anymore than 2 weeks. I think the timeline fits pretty well.

In the beginning, when during the voiceover and TG was telling someone about the fall of Woodbury, the woman's voice sounded almost like Carol's. Which is plausible, since I don't think Carol ever saw TG and now that she's been exiled from the prison she could meet him and be none the wiser.

I've heard this mentioned by others as well. I would actually like this a plot device, but I think the walkers were mentioned in the voiceover as being monsters....which rules out Carol since Rick's group obviously don't refer to them as that.

 

[BruiserVol]

When he grabbed the girl and said I'll never let anything happen to you. I immediately thought this is going to get interesting. The way he acted when he did that. Seems like he is going to take this opportunity to live a fantasy with her as his daughter he lost.

 

[zaqhhh]

I may be in the minority here but i hated that episode bored me to death

 

[duckman398686]

I just like the Governor because he adds another element. This show will always be based around the zombies and the outbreak, but it was nice to have a villian last season that could actually think for himself. I personally think he's been the most well written character on the show.

Yeah the Rick thing always bugged me too, I do take with a grain of salt. But it still cracks me up.

Maybe Martinez has been sneaking in and mowing the grass...

I think he's talking about the fact that he didn't become walker food.

That first and foremost but putting that aside, even if people can survive for a week or two in a coma without medical care doesn't mean they will just hop up out of bed and walk when they wake up. Generally their muscles would have atrophied some and they would need some physical theropy before being able to walk. Probably some OT to do things like put a shirt on. I mean he did struggle some for a minute but got it together pretty quick.

For the sake of the story its just something you have to look past.

Walkers are attracted to sound and Rick was likely very quiet and still while comatose.

It takes longer than a week or two for muscles to become that weak where you couldn't walk within a reasonable amount of time

Patrick ate a dude that was sleeping.

I didn't care about the food or atrophy aspect.
the only thing that crossed my mind was where did he get water.

It was subtle in the episode, but he changed direction and went toward him because he was snoring.

Rick looks like a guy that snores to me.

Granted... I guess they never put a timeline on exact how long he was out before the outbreak or after it started.

If it was just a week or two since the outbreak Lori was pretty quick to hook up with Shane despite thinking Rick was dead. What a slut.

Anyway, we are talking about a show that is placed in a zombie apocalypse. Can't really expect everything (or anything) to be 100% realistic.

I would be screwed. I would be a walker magnet if I had to sleep outside.

The same place they get all the ammo for their guns

 

[bigdaddy]

I think that last weeks episode was a tribute to Herschel and that we may see the last of Herschel in the next few episodes before the halfway breaking point in the season.

Doubt it, the actor just got a DUI in late August while filming in Ga

So would I, I toss and turn and snore.

So he went on runs while in a coma? Ok Rick should be the leader, that's badass.

Racist right there.

Closed door with a park gurny in front of it. Plus his lack of snoring.

I'm not saying it would have been easy for him to just get up and go walking around town after being bed ridden like that. There's definitely things you have to overlook with every show. You know like taking antibiotics for a viral infection.

I could have just imagined it on TTD but somebody brought up Carol running into the governor and the way David answered pretty much gave it away. Unless that was just a mistake. I wish I could pull it up but I already deleted it off the DVR.
