    I think I am the only person who doesn't hate Lori...

    I feel that way too! Why all the Lori hate? I felt sorry for her for the way Shane lied to her and manipulated her. And it seems that the Lori-haters all love Shane, even though he was a total *kitten*! I'm with ya! She is not my favorite, but I have sympathy for her.

    He did not lie to her or manipulate her... she spread her legs willing less than a month after her husband was "dead".

    He said Rick was dead when he was only in a coma. That's a lie. Shane used that lie to manipulate her into sleeping with him.

    Takes 2 to tango... he didnt put a gun to her head and rape her. She strung him along the whole time up to when Rick offed him. For that I cannot respect her.
  • where did they get the silencers? very cool!

    Most likely from scavenging through the winter, I suspect. Same with Dale's medical supplies/hatchet used to amputate his leg.

    I was like "HERSHEL NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

    and how in the hell will they keep quiet with a screaming newborn?

    Best scene=riot helmet taking off the zombies face.

    Also, I wonder if Merle will really be back or only a vision like last time? This could get interesting...he'll be a perfect henchman for the General if he is still alive!
  • Merle has GOT to be one of The Governor's henchman.. it just makes perfect sense... LOL

    Michone is actually a lawyer before the zombies.
    I'm all about Michonne - she is so badass! I'm dressing as Michonne in a zombie run in 2 weeks (no slow pet zombies on chains though). I can't wait to see how they develop her character this season.

    How absolutely screwed is Lori if Hershel dies? Having a baby in the zombie apocalypse is horrible enough, but with no doctor either? I'd be rocking in a dark corner moaning. Yeah, I don't think I'm mentally equipped for zombie survival.

    Another reason they should have left Hershel at the fence with the others! Ugh! Rick can be so stupid sometimes. :ohwell:

    I totally agree but I don't think that anyone is completely to "blame." Food for thought--I think the situation was actually done really well for TV because this is what it would really be like for someone like Lori. She's got 2 good options of men to keep her and her son safe. In the zombie apocalpse do you really think it's a good idea to burn the bridge with Shane when Rick could die and then you'd be alone or vice versa? I'm not saying I agree or that this was her only motivation, she's got a past with Shane too as I think they all knew eachother from at least high school, I could be wrong, but this isn't supposed to be in our world.

    But she wouldn't have slept with him if she thought Rick was still alive. I just can't stand Shane. I was so glad when he died. :laugh:

    And I don't *love* Lori, but I like her better than Andrea and Carol. Carol is getting a little better, but she is just a wimp! :laugh:

    I pretty much agree with that.

    I wonder if things were really like this back in the early days of humankind. Not the Zombies I mean, but how the group dynamics have developed. They are all about survival now. Would a group of humans really interact like this trying to survive? Is this how survival really "worked" back then?

    She might have if he told her he was in a coma... You don't sleep with your dead husbands best friend that quickly without already having feelings.

    His bad for assuming that a man in a COMA couldn't survive the zombie apocalypse!! Rick was a sitting duck! Like I said, he had no way to know that barricading the room would actually save Rick's life!

    You're right... and he told Lori that he had listened for his heartbeat, but he wasn't sure because he is not a doctor.

    And because he wasn't sure, he barricaded the door.

    They both figured that even if he wasn't dead, he would eventually be, and that certainly never expected that he would manage to track them down. I mean, in reality, if Rick did manage to survive, he would likely have never reunited with his family.

    Some people are sooooo judgmental.

    My first thought was why was Hershel with them! Even though I KNEW that zombie was not dead the first time he stepped over it I was in denial that he got bit! Then I was all like OMG that one guard's face like fell off how come that guys teeth are so in tact he took that big of a bite out of his leg through his pants. Do your teeth turn in to razor blades when you're zombie fied? I can't bite through pants...

    Overall loved the episode and can't wait for the rest. I kept saying I woulda been stabbing any dead person I could through the fence to get rid of them. Didn't we learn from Dale's death?

    I don't know that I'd go that far; I'm only a recent watcher of the Talking Dead to be honest and I've loved the series since the first episode. I think it does so well because it came on the market when entertainment was saturated with Vampires so in a way.. same genre, different aspect. There's nothing else like it on tv right now (to my knowledge).

    Having said that though: I absolutely love the talk show and make every effort to watch it now (and or record it).

    I know everybody hates Lori and she's not my favorite either but last night I felt sorry for her for the first time. I think if anyone is to blame for the whole situation it was Shane because he lied to her about Rick being dead at first. Sure, she could have handled things better but what's done is done now and Rick should count his blessings that his wife and son are still alive.
    I totally agree, zombie baby storyline had crossed my mind last year...that would be freaky!

    Lori is weak and she makes terrible decisions that affect her entire group. Where is the woman's survival instinct? If I'm living in an apocalypse of any kind (doesn't have to be zombies) the very last thing I would do is have unprotected sex. Why? Because a pregnancy in that situation makes me a liability. I'm slow. I have increased resource demands and I'm helpless once labor starts.

    Last season, Lori was the very queen of bad calls.

    I'm sorry, but I just can't stand Shane. I don't want to give him any benefit of doubt because when he was around, I was always doubting his motives.

    Yeah you're right not to like Shane - don't think anyone is supposed to like Shane really. He was killed off very early on in the comic but he made for interesting TV :wink:

    The already did the zombie baby in the "Dawn of the Dead" remake. Of coarse, the mom was already a zombie.

    If he is, I wonder what Daryll is going to do about it. It would be a total ripoff if Merle shows up as a flashback after we saw him in the trailer for this season.

    These commercials are totally messing up the show for me.
  • P.S. Michonne and Darryl would equal the most badass couple on the planet.


    Anyone watch Talking Dead afterward? Who officially wants to go to Universal Studios for the Walker Maze now? And that Zombie Obstacle Course they kept advertising would be PERFECT for weight loss I think - what better way to lose weight than running for your life? XD lol (j/k... kinda)

    I went to Halloween Horror Nights last weekend and the Walker Maze was, as expected, effing awesome :)
