A coworker just sent me this: http://io9.com/5895214/in...hates-lori

There are definitely some good ones in there

^ I fell out of my chair on that one. Too funny.

For the cold heartless folks.

1. Carl, stay in the house.
2. Seriously, Carl. Stay in the house
3. Carl, I don’t want to yell but it’s the middle of the zombie apocalypse and we’re going to need you to stay close by.
4. Okay, buddy. Can you be a good little sheriff and stay put? I don’t know, guard the living room. Yes, okay here’s a special hat and you are officially on duty to protect the couch cushions. Just stay in the house.
5. Carl, I’d ground you but it seems a bit trite what with the hordes of Zombies outside trying to eat our faces.
6. Remember what happened when another little kid wandered off alone? You were here for that.
7. It’s great you’re keeping your childish rebellion alive but if one of the bad guys gets you, Daddy is going to have to shoot you in the head.
8. Please, Carl. Just stay here. I’ll be right back. Protect the couch cushions. Make some lunch. Get back to doing that math homework we inexplicably cared about 4 episodes ago.
9. Carl, I’m not fucking around. Please, Carl. Just stay in the house. Do this one fucking thing. Just stay in the house for the next 5 minutes.
10. HAS ANYONE SEEN CARL?? HE’S NOT IN THE HOUSE.

I just caught up yesterday. I dvr them and a friend and I watch together in mini-marathons. I finally got to read this thread. yay!

SPOLIERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

The first half of this (half?) season was pretty boring, but they made up for it in the last 3 episodes.

I really hated Shane. I found him hot in a disgusting way (once he shaved his head, anyway), but I hated his character, so I'm not sad to see him go. And what was up with his redneck accent getting worse and worse as time went on? I didn't remember it much from the first season, suddenly he was a good ole boy. Gross.

I was sad to see Dale go, but killing off a lovable character is important. You have to be willing to do it. If you know anyone can go, it keeps things truly on edge.

I hate Lori too. I hate her brown hair and her whining and her everything.

I never liked Andrea much, but I like her more now. Loved her final scenes through the woods and I love how they ended with a hooded character with the armless zombies on leashes.

I Glen and Darryl. Probably my favorite characters. I like Darryl's journey and I'm really interested to see what becomes of him should they come upon Merle again. Great dynamic.

I've not read the comic, so I don't know what to expect and I'm kinda glad. Perhaps I'll pick them up one of these days.

@ Carrie: Your description of Lori is hilarious! She's just Ugh!

A coworker found the graphic novels online and sent me links to a long list of them.

He keeps asking me when I'm going to read them.

I'm off this week, so I'll check them out...

I hate the character of Lori, too. No way you'd be able to get pregnant if you were that skinny. Also, from the Lori school of acting - when I'm feeling hopeless, I put my hands in my back pockets and open my eyes real wide. When I'm sad, I put my hand on my face and open my eyes real wide. When I'm mad, I put my hand by my mouth and open my eyes real wide.

Having said all that - I STILL HATE ANDREA MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read the last half of comic book #11 and all of comic book #12. It was pretty good.

My friend that brought them said the TV series is not up to that point yet, so I won't talk about what happens, but it was interesting.

I've only read the synopsis of the comic, I had to check on the odds of some of the characters, it's interesting to see what did and didn't change. I'm hyped for season 3 though, that looks completely insane.

Nah, I cannot accept that as feasible.

Zombies apparently have "Primal" Instincts, It isnt primal to stop trying. That is a "Conscious" choice.

That was the first thing I thought when seeing the hooded woman, I thought, ok , They have no arms but they are Zombies, Thoughtless killing machines with only one desire to eat.......They would be trying regardless, major flaw.

I cheated a little bit and did a peak preview of the comics. I have no idea if that's the explanation the makers of the show will roll with but they seem to stay close to the comics if not exact. Per the comics they have a connection to her that somewhere in their primal minds they remember along with the fact they can no longer eat. But who knows.

This can't possibly be the first scientific WTH you've encountered while watching a series about zombies. At a certain point, you've just got to submit to a suspension of disbelief.

But while we're at this, one thing I'd like to know is: If the mind of a human walker is reduced to nothing but a machine poised to satisfy its most basic drives, why aren't the walkers also trying to breed with the survivors (even though they'd never technically be able to)?
