Returns February 9th yawl! I cannot wait. I want to see what happened with everyone. Is the group safe? I know everyone is definitely not together, so what have they've been up to since then? How the HELL have they been surviving. What happened to baby Judith? Her baby carrier was all bloody from a walker attack. (I just don't/more like hope she isn't dead!) Those scenes with Rick and Carl wrecked me. I am still upset over what happened to Hershel BUT think the Governor got what was coming to him. Who will be the new villian this season though? Where is Carol? Do you think she will have a hard on for Rick this season? Will she surface? What will be between these two? What about Maggie and Glen? Do you think he will be all right? Will they be together? What about those little girls that Carol took care of now that Hershel is gone? Do you think Maggie and Beth will take over as guardians? What about Michonne? Is she okay and will she re-join the group? Do you think they will pair Rick and Michonne together (romantically)? Let's discuss!!!!! I will post articles and spoilers here also. |

For some strange reason I think it's going to come down to the kids surviving. Carl Jr. and those girls but I could be totally off base. Either that outcome or as I said I really don't know. What would be messed up if no one survives.

SOURCE/MANY THANKS: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/02/04/walking-dead-norman-reedus-daryl-dixon-best/ 'The Walking Dead': Norman Reedus promises 'our best eight episodes yet' By Dalton Ross Feb 4, 2014 at 10:22AM @DaltonRoss All the survivors on The Walking Dead are in a bad place after being forced to flee the prison as a result of the failed assault by the Governor. Not only have they lost their home and their moral center in Hershel, but they have lost each other as well in the process of a hasty evacuation. However, fan favorite Daryl Dixon also has another bombshell to process: the fresh knowledge that Rick exiled his friend Carol from the group after she killed two infected inmates in the hopes of containing the disease. Will the aftermath of that discovery play out when the show returns on Feb. 9? We went armed with that question and others and posed them to the man who plays Daryl, Norman Reedus. Read on as he tells us what to expect in the final eight episodes of season 4. (Also make sure to check out out midseason preview interviews with Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira.) ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So we start the back eight episodes with everyone sort of splintered off into smaller groups, and judging by what we saw at the end of the last episode and the preview where we see you two together a lot, it seems Daryl and Beth are going to be making their way out of the prison together. NORMAN REEDUS: Well, you definitely saw them leave the prison together. Whether they stay together is yet to be seen. Everything is gone. Everyone is on the run. Daryl had found an identity with these people and was starting to feel good about himself in a lot of ways but everything has just come crashing to a halt. He assumes everyone is dead. He’s got to start over. Everyone is in a really bad place right now. EW: We’re going to have more individual or smaller group stories as opposed to seeing everyone as one big group. Is that a nice change of pace? REEDUS: It’s different. I will say that the back eight are in my opinion are our best eight episodes yet. The storylines, the acting, and the directing, and the writing are top of our food chain. I’m so excited for people to see these episodes. You get an understanding of why certain characters are who they are, why they fight for what they fight for, or why they don’t fight. You really get an in-depth look at characters like you’ve never seen before. EW: What’s the aftermath for everyone in terms of seeing Hershel executed? He was the moral compass for that group so what will that loss do to everyone? REEDUS: That was such a harsh exit. Not just as the character, but for the actors as well. That was really hard for all of us. I think that you can see it though the actors’ eyes in the back eight. That was a big loss for us. Even Rick sort of gave up hope, gave up the fight a little bit. You always had Hershel who had a positive outlook on things and was telling us that we still had more time and that we’re still people at the core of all this animalistic brutality. With him gone, I feel like this huge beacon of hope just got put out. Everyone is reeling from it — not just his blood relatives, but the rest of us. We were such a tight group there at the prison and to have him executed in that way and have us on the run again, like we started — everyone is starting from square one again. EW: You mentioned how hard it was for the actors. Tell me about having to say goodbye Scott Wilson. I know his last day was pretty emotional. REEDUS: That was a tough one. The whole crew wore suspenders that day in his honor. It was a sight to see. I’m really good friends with Scott. He just stayed with me a couple days, here in my apartment. I took him to the Lou Reed memorial. He’s such a good actor. He has such good work behind him. He’s 100% quality and a stand-up guy. That one in particular was really hard for me and for all of us. Losing a character that is that important is a big deal. It’s a big gamble to take. He’s definitely going to be missed. EW: Is there going to be any more to Daryl finding out about Rick making Carol leave? He was clearly upset about it, but then the attack on the prison happened and that got kind of put to the side. REEDUS: Daryl going into this first episode doesn’t even know if everyone is alive. Right now he thinks everyone is dead. You may or may not see a backlash. The way that we shot that and the way that we directed that, it was left very open-ended. I like the way we didn’t wrap up that storyline with a nice bow yet. EW: Do you think that the back eight episodes are tonally different? REEDUS: Totally different. You have the same characters dealing with the same things, but the way that they are shot and the way that they are written…that’s the joy of this show that it’s constantly evolving. As soon as you get comfortable, everything gets ripped out from under you. It’s such good writing in the back eight. Every time we got a script, Andy would run into my trailer and be like, “Did you read it? Did you read it?” EW: How do you feel about leaving the prison behind? As an actor, that was your home for a season-and-a-half. REEDUS: Even though we shot a lot at the prison, 80 percent of my scenes are shot in the woods. I love playing Daryl in the woods. That’s part of who he is. The only set that didn’t feel totally comfortable was that first season at the CDC with the air conditioning that just didn’t feel like us. That weather down there is a character on the show, as are those woods. I like being on the run. I like the movement of it all. EW: Any other teases for Daryl coming up? REEDUS: There’s a big Daryl episode coming up soon. It was such a grueling, hard shoot, but it came out really well. There’s a couple other episodes based around other characters who do some of the best work you’ve seen them do. I can’t wait for people to see these back eight. EW: I know you were just overseas promoting the show. What countries seem to go craziest for The Walking Dead? REEDUS: It’s huge everywhere. Everywhere we go there’s a huge crowd of people meeting us at the airport. It’s so humbling to go to these foreign countries and see people geeking out over the show and loving the characters. It’s a joy to meet all of them, because everyone is so into it and so cool. I’m a very lucky guy. We all are. It’s big everywhere. Even in New York. People don’t usually run after you here. I was taking my kid to school the other day, and there was a guy chasing after the car. He runs up to the side of the car and says, “I’m a special effects art director and I’ve got to say I love your show.” He literally chased after the car for a block, sprinting in the snow. He ran up to the window and I was like, “Whoa you look like a ninja” because he was all bundled up. Everywhere we go it’s just nuts. It just makes us want to try harder and harder.

SOURCE/MANY THANKS:http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/02/03/walking-dead-danai-gurira-michonne-volatile/?ew%5FpackageID=20622701 'The Walking Dead': Danai Gurira previews Michonne's 'volatile' moment By Dalton Ross Feb 3, 2014 at 11:10AM @DaltonRoss Season 4 has been a roller coaster ride for Michonne so far on The Walking Dead. One minute, she’s smiling and handing Carl a stack of comic books; the next, she’s clutching baby Judith and crying like a baby herself. One minute, she’s finally enjoying being part of a bigger community; the next, she’s watching that jerk the Governor slice off Hershel’s head and destroy everything they had built at the prison. So what does Michonne do now? The good news (for us, if not her) is that we will find out the answer to that question when The Walking Dead returns on Feb. 9 with the final eight episodes of the season. The midseason premiere will show us where Michonne ends up —both mentally and physically — after the fall of the prison. And yes, it includes the introduction of two brand new “Pets” (as seen in the picture above). We spoke with Danai Gurira, who plays Michonne, to get some additional intel in terms of what to expect. (Also be sure to check out our midseason Q&A with Andrew Lincoln and our preview chat with Norman Reedus.) ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So we start the final eight episodes with everyone sort of splintered off into smaller groups and I know in this first episode back we are going to see what happens to Michonne as the prison falls and where she goes. What else can you tell us? DANAI GURIRA: What we know is that she was really starting to settle in. She really cared about this place. She really wanted to prevent what she knew the Governor was capable of. She didn’t see any hope in his transformation or redemption. The idea that this actually happened just as she was letting her guard down. You know she says to Daryl in episode 404, “I’m not going to go out and look for him anymore.” So the trail did get cold and she starts to will herself more to just being there, and not like man-caving on her horse anymore. She does that little trip with Hershel and starts to literally help more with the housekeeping of the prison. So to get to the point where all that is lost is severely traumatic for her. What happens to Hershel right next to her, in her presence, something that she couldn’t prevent, that for her is extremely traumatic. You know she likes to take care of business. She had just started to slip into being a member of the community and plugging in and that is huge for her. It’s revolutionary for her. So the loss is pretty extreme. So the question is, how does she metabolize this? How does she handle it? EW: What’s the aftermath for everyone in terms of seeing of Hershel executed? There have obviously been a lot of deaths on this show, but that one was so brutal for such a kind and gentle soul to be killed in such a savage way. What will that loss do to everyone? GURIRA: I mean, really what everyone has to do is process and survive. But they have to survive, and will they even have the time or space to process? Of course they live in an apocalypse where there’s no more walls and there’s no more protection, so how is everybody going to handle this loss? It could go any which way. How do we navigate this world while still trying to metabolize all these losses and grievances? This is a volatile moment. This is a scary moment for everybody. EW: For the most part this show has been one big group. Now that everybody seems to be splintered off into smaller groups, how will that change the show? GURIRA: I think Andy said it best. There’s space around events in a way that is definitely different. There is a lot of honing in on people and their experiences and their inner turmoil and outward trauma. There’s a lot more getting to know everybody. We’re not functioning in an ensemble-like way anymore because the group is fractured. What I love about that is that looking at it from a macro-perspective it is fantastic storytelling-wise because in the little research that I’ve done I learned that one of the key elements of war is displacement. People are caught up in the concern of where people are and what happened to them and not having any way of finding out. That’s such a rich, authentic component of what really happens in a war zone. So I think that’s really thrilling that’s going to be rippling through the back eight. EW: Any other teases for Michonne coming up? GURIRA: What’s interesting for Michonne is that she is on the tip of something. She was on the tip of something in those first eight episodes. Was she going to settle in? Was she starting to open up? Then the trauma hit and I think the big question is, will this clam her back up or open her up? It’s a question of going back to the old her or going on a different path. That’s the question sitting on her soul as she tries to metabolize the trauma that’s befallen her. For more ‘Walking Dead’ intel, follow Dalton on Twitter.

SOURCE/MANY THANKS: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/01/31/walking-dead-andrew-lincoln-rick/?ew%5FpackageID=20622701 'The Walking Dead': Andrew Lincoln says Rick is 'in the worst place he's been' By Dalton Ross Jan 31, 2014 at 11:14AM @DaltonRoss The good news for Rick Grimes is that he is still alive. Annnnnnnnd that’s pretty much it. He had a front row seat to the execution of his good friend Hershel, the Governor beat him within an inch of his life, the prison has been overrun with zombies, and, oh yeah, as far as he knows, his baby daughter Judith just became someone’s afternoon snack. So not exactly what you’d call the best of days so far for Mr. Grimes. (I mean, just look at the photo above for chrissakes!) What happens next? We’ll find out when The Walking Dead returns with season 4’s final eight episodes Feb. 9 on AMC. The first episode back features a battle of wills between Rick and Carl as they seek shelter and safety. We spoke with Papa Grimes himself, Andrew Lincoln, about what to expect in episode 409 and beyond. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So with the prison gone, everyone is going to be splintered off in these smaller groups and we’re going to see people having to fend more for themselves. What can you tell us about what’s in store? ANDREW LINCOLN: I’m really excited about the back 8 episodes. I think there’s a different tone to the back 8, and I think you’re going to see a lot of characters that you haven’t seen under the microscope as much all have their chance to shine. And people are putting in some tremendous performances. I think there were three scripts that were some of my favorite that I’ve ever done in the back 8. But it’s different, and that’s what’s so admirable about it with Scott Gimple’s vision. It’s a very different tone for the show and I think you learn a lot. It’s very character driven, very soulful — much more reminiscent of the first season, I think, just because they’re all out and alone and they’re much more vulnerable. And also because they’re apart from each other you realize that without each other their family is dying. It’s almost like vignettes; it’s like character studies in all of the characters. The underpinning of all of this is the great hope they can find each other again. EW: For the most part, everything we’ve seen on this show has been as a big group, albeit with scattered separations here and there when smaller groups go on runs or what have you. But now we’re going to have a lot more individual or smaller group stories since everyone is scattered out. Is that a nice change of pace? LINCOLN: I think so. It’s not only a change of pace but what it does is it rewards the audience that perhaps doesn’t know about certain characters’ backstories and histories. There are some very witty pairings is what I will say. Really, really witty. EW: At this point, after seeing that empty bloody car seat, viewers are wondering: Where’s baby Judith? What is Rick assuming as far as Judith? LINCOLN: She’s gone. I think, as you’ve seen in the episode, she’s gone. That’s it. That’s the feeling for Rick and Carl. Rick is has been putting so much of his ideology and hope and change on Hershel and the prison. Now these people have been ripped away from him. The back 8 for him are very much a story of self-discovery for him, of finding himself knocked to the floor and finding yet again another way of picking himself up again. And it’s about fighting to be a father. I think episode 9 very much explores that — about becoming a man and a man accepting that fact. It’s a time-honored story. But it’s set under these incredibly difficult circumstances. There’s a heck of a lot bubbling for all the characters. They’re at the weakest they’ve ever been probably since I woke up in the coma. Of course, they’re incredibly tenacious survivors. Bear in mind, the only other people inhabiting this world who aren’t behind walls are also tenacious survivors as well. EW: What about the aftermath of seeing Hershel executed? Especially for Rick, because Rick was the one negotiating for his release and ultimately failing in that. How is that going to weigh on him? LINCOLN: Man, he never gets a break. It’s not an easy guy to play. There aren’t many calls that he makes that go right, let’s be honest. That was the death knell to that way of living. That’s done, that compromise Rick was attempting to make and had made with the offering of peace to the Governor. Hershel was a father figure and a mentor, he was the bedrock for everybody, he was the moral conscious. I think that Hershel’s spirit lives on always. Everybody that has an impact in your life you carry with you always, but I do think that Rick is in a very low ebb. And I think physically, in episode 9, you’ll see a man who is frightened for the first time in a long, long time. He’s frightened not for himself but for his son because he’s weak. He’s very, very weak and that makes him belligerent and aggressively challenging towards his son because he’s scared. So he’s physically weak, spiritually he’s lost, mentally he doesn’t quite know where to begin because he’s just seeing his home demolished. He’s in the worst place he’s been.

'The Walking Dead': Robert Kirkman gives intel on new characters By Dalton Ross on Feb 6, 2014 at 11:00AM @DaltonRoss It’s sad watching people die on The Walking Dead. But when some characters die off, new ones emerge and take their place. So while we mourn the most recent loss of Hershel, we can at least look forward to the appearance of three familiar faces from the comic book on which the show is based. (Faces like Abraham, as played by Michael Cudlitz — see photo above.) We chatted with Walking Dead exec producer Robert Kirkman to get the scoop on the newbies as well as everything else we need to know heading into the last eight episodes of season 4, which kick off this Sunday on AMC. (Click through both pages to read the entire interview. And also make sure to check out our midseason preview Q&As with Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, and Andrew Lincoln.) ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I’ve spoken with a lot of the cast recently and everyone has talked about how the final eight episodes are tonally different from the first eight. Can you talk about that a bit and how they may feel a bit different? ROBERT KIRKMAN: It’s all of our characters scattered to the winds. Everybody’s separated and so we’re actually doing a lot of really intense, character focusing episodes. So because they’re separated there will be episodes that focus on different people. There will be episodes that focus on different groups at a time when they’re in their worst situation yet. We’re really going to really drill down into them and get to know them much more than we’ve gotten to know them before. I think after the end of these eight episodes you’re going to be acutely aware of who these people are and I think they’re going to be some really shocking revelations about what makes people tick and who they really are at their core. EW: This has always been a show about a big group. Why the decision to separate them? KIRKMAN: Well, the prison is a cataclysm. And you can’t really honor the gravity of that situation without disrupting your characters in a big way. And what the show has been about — in some part at least for the last two seasons — is you need people to survive. The best thing is to do is to get a group of people and try to work together and that’s the way you can get by, and now we’re taking that away from these people. Now they’re separated, they’re on their own, and things are much more deadly than they’ve ever been and it’s really them coming out of losing their prison, and seeing what the Governor has done to them, putting them through their paces. To some extent this is their darkest period that these characters have gone through yet. EW: Tying into that darkest period – tell me about the aftershocks of Hershel’s execution. What’s that going to do to everyone? KIRKMAN: It’s a huge deal for them. Hershel touched each and every one of those characters, that’s why it’s such an important death. These guys are shaken to their core trying to deal with this loss and they don’t have time to deal with it because things are out there trying to eat them. That’s what The Walking Dead is about, so they don’t really get a minute to reflect on that or deal with their emotions. We’ll see these characters are absolutely wrecked from seeing that and experiencing that but there are so many things that are put upon them or that they’re going to have to deal with. It’s really just this barrage of terrible things we’re going to have to see our characters overcome or not and that’s really the fun of it. EW: Okay, where’s Baby Judith? KIRKMAN: All I know is that there’s a bloody car seat so things aren’t looking too good. EW: How about Lilly and Tara. Will we see them or anyone from the Governor’s storyline again, or is that chapter complete? KIRKMAN: There are some people in that mix that we didn’t see die that could theoretically pop up at some point in the future. EW: We know we’re going to see new characters in the back eight, a few big ones from the comics — Abraham and Rosita and Eugene. What can you tell us about them and how similar or different they will be to the original comic iterations? KIRKMAN: These characters are going to be extremely similar to who they were in the comics and I’m really excited about that. The visuals and costuming for them has been absolutely amazing. These people really do look like they were torn out of the comic page, it’s pretty startling. But I will say people excited for the introduction of these characters won’t have to wait very long. I don’t want to reveal exactly when they’ll be introduced, but it won’t be too terribly late in the season so get your hopes up. They really are going to add a very interesting and very compelling dynamic to the show. I think they’re going to bring in elements to the show that we’ve never really explored before and I think that’s exciting and something that’s going to change the game to a certain extent. I’m always very excited at how much this show evolves over time and changes season to season and these three characters are agent that very much changes the story and very much changes the direction of the show to a certain extent. NEXT PAGE: Will we see Morgan? Or Carol? Or the people behind that mysterious radio signal? Robert Kirkman responds! EW: How do you decide whether to make people look like they do in comic, or have them look completely different, like Bob Stookey? KIRKMAN: It’s never done that way. All we ever do is we have the role, we know what we want to do with the character and then we cast them. If we can cast an actor that looks like the characters in the comics, great. But that’s not something we ever try to do. It’s just not possible to find the best actor for the role and somehow match them with the drawing that was done almost a decade ago. We always look for the best actor for the role, period. It would be an unrealistic endeavor to try to match the comic visually at all times. EW: What about this new character named Gareth? What can you tell me about him? KIRKMAN: Nothing. EW: Okay, well, is there a new character named Gareth? [laughs] KIRKMAN: ….Yes. EW: Wow, really spilling all the beans there, Mr, Kirkman! Fine, let me ask you this: What about seeing Morgan again? KIRKMAN: All I’ll say is, it’s entirely possible. I feel like the “Clear” episode that Morgan last appeared it would be a worthy end of the story the way he represented Rick’s future and put him back on the path that he was on and it really played up and played off that relationship they built in the very first episode. And that would have been — would be — a fine ending for that character story. But we all love Lennie James and we all want to see Morgan again so it may happen at some point, it may not. We all want to see Morgan again as much as the fans do. You never know. EW: Let’s talk about some other loose ends. Are we going to learn more about the faint radio signal Daryl and the others picked up on in the car? KIRKMAN: We will absolutely, definitely learn a ton more about that. I think that the first eight episodes of the season probably deserve a rewatch if you’re really invested in what’s coming up. And when it comes time in a couple of years when you watch all of season 4 as a whole there are so many hints and so many little breadcrumbs thrown out that are going to be paid off in the back half of season 4 that people are going to be shocked at the things that they didn’t notice. There are so many little things that are unresolved and are going to be picked up and addressed in these last eight episodes and that recording is definitely chief among them but there’s a lot of stuff we’re going to be dealing with. EW: Does that include the identity of the person putting the rats by the fence and performing rat vivisections? KIRKMAN: Yeah, that’s like a whole plot thread! I wanna know what happens there! We wouldn’t leave that hanging. EW: Is there going to be any more to the aftermath of making Carol leave? Will Tyreese finally find out? Will we see Carol again? KIRKMAN: All I’ll say on that front is that Carol was exiled from the prison because of what she did. And now all of our characters have in a sense been exiled from the prison. So, you know…they’re all pretty much in the same place now. EW: Speaking of locations, any new locations from the comics we might be looking at? KIRKMAN: There’s a lot of stuff on the horizon. I wouldn’t want to reveal anything like that. One of the things very important to me is when things are adapted from the comics, it’s better when those things emerge unexpectedly, as opposed to, “Oh, when are we getting to this stuff, when are we getting to that stuff?” And there’s definitely some of that coming up in the back half. I wouldn’t want to reveal that, I would spoil all the fun! EW: I know we’re going to get a good, long look at Michonne in the first episode back. What would you like to say about how that episode maybe connects some of the dots a little bit? KIRKMAN: The first episode back, we’re definitely going to get a glimpse into Michonne’s past and learn more about her specifically than we’ve known before, and I think people are going to be pretty shocked where we’ve gone with those things.

Omar: I need some Walking Dead scoop! How about some Walking Dead spin-off scoop? We just got off the phone with executive producer Gale Anne Hurd and she tells us that the upcoming drama is still a ways away from appearing on our small screens. "It's still in the very early stages because we've been focusing so much on The Walking Dead 1.0," she says. "We just finished mixing the last episode of the season on Friday so that's been taking all of our focus, as it should." Not to worry, TWD fans! A zombie-filled spinoff is still definitely on its way.

Last night's episode was definetly not what I expected! It was actually really surprising, well written and extremely gut wrenching on so many levels. I bow down to Danai Gurira (Michonne) on her performance! Both Chandler Riggs (Carl Jr.) and Andrew Lincoln (Rick), amazing performances as well. Especially Chandler Riggs in his last scene. :tears: I think the loss of loosing there home (the prison) but most of all Hershel, has really effected everyone but in different ways. You clearly saw it in Carl Jr. last night, how he felt almost "let down" and "very angry" at his Dad. But it was fear talking at the same time, fear of the unknown, not knowing what lies ahead, how they would survive. I couldn't believe his speech to Rick - about how he was responsible for everything. His mother's death, Shane's death (OUCH!), them loosing there home at the prison, Judith's death, (Which we are still unsure of - although (Greg Nicotero - EP/Visual Effects/Director "The Walking Dead" who was on the "Talking Dead" afterwards, said something about this but I was unsure how to take it.) Carl Jr. has really grown up so much since the beginning of the show and you really see the - difference from Carl Jr. "the boy" becoming a "man" in this episode. Yet you can still see that he is still a kid not ready to face the world alone. I was especially effected by the part when he thought that Rick turned into a walker. He was poking and proding his Dad, then he started to sob and cry, begging and pleading. "No, Dad, please, No." (As if he couldn't go on anymore he was ready to give up.) He wouldn't kill his father and was just ready to succumb to the end. Then Rick finally woke up and was saying "Please don't go outside." He was talking to Carl Jr. and then they hugged each other! :tears: Very moving part of the episode! I loved how Rick explained to Carl Jr. "they couldn't get things back to the way they used to be. He had clung on to that way of life for him and Judith. Judith was gone now and Carl is a man." Rick apologized to Carl. Oh boy, where do we get started with Michonne? First of all, we finally get a glimpse into Michonne's life prior to "Zombie apocalypse". My first burning question is: What happened to Michonne's baby boy? She understands loss because she has endured the same painful thing herself. :tears: I never knew the 2 zombies she was walking around with were Mike (her lover) and his friend. When she finally decided to leave the prison amongst the zombie invasion, she sees Hershel's zombie head! Which she decided to "put to rest". (How freaky was that head!) It was not even a moment later that the zombies start trying to attack her but she is by the fences. That is when she decides to make two new pets. Michonne! But then she started walking with the in the woods amongst herds of zombies that freaked me the HELL OUT! She started slaying and slashing them all. It was like a "come to Jesus moment" for Michonne. What broke my heart is when says said "Mike, I'm sorry." (That was such a crazy part! Slasher Michonne!) It was not long after that she started tracking again (something she is very good at) got back on the road, saw footprints, saw the store, noticed people were there at one time, kept going till she saw the houses, looked in one and saw Rick and Carl Jr. and started to cry. Rick started to panic when he looked at the door but when he looked thru the peep hole, said to Carl Jr. "It's for you." It was a really well written and deep episode! Well done by the writers!

The Walking Dead "Inmates" Beth and Daryl at the beginning! Running and killing walkers left and right. How sick was that? The background of Beth reading pages from her diary "Pre-Prison destruction, when they first called it there home"--- very moving and so haunting of how different/stark contrast of how different life is now. I can't belive how different and closed off Daryl is now. (He's done a 360!) But at least he and Beth are together! When the little girls where running with Tyrese and he turned around! Baby Judith is alive and with Tyrese!!!!! BUT that little girl, Lizzie is a cold blooded killer! When they were running from walkers because Judith kept crying; Lizzie puts her hand over Judith's mouth like she wanted to smother her! I swear something set off the "kill switch" in that child. While Mika, seems different, she is a "runner" she runs when she sees trouble. Which to me is normal for a little child. She did try and shoot a walker but the gun shot missed. But she didn't try to kill an innocent baby!!! Lizzie better hope and pray Carl Jr. or Rick doesn't get word of this when the group meets up again. This was happening while Tyrese took off and told the girls, that they could take care of each other. BUT, Lizzie made a up comment about Sasha. Little child is cold-blooded I tell you, what happened?OMG, though -- Carol reunited with Tyrese who doesn't know what Carol did yet to Karen. Awkward and definitely a deadly situation when Tyrese does find out. Um , yeah. One of the victims still alive tells Tyrese and Carol to take the girls and follow the railroad tracks to a safe haven. Is this another Woodbury, though? Sasha, Maggie and Bob are together. Bob has turned over a new leaf. He wants them all to stick together, since that is all they have anymore. (ICAM Bob!!!) Maggie is heartbroken and worried if Glen is dead or alive still, did he make it out of the prison to the bus? What happened to him? She is not coping well at all. They eventually wanded far enough down the road and find the bus that everyone from the prison was "supposed" to be on! :tears: They decide to take the bus, together. Honestly, I was wondering if Maggie was on a suicide mission, thinking that Glen was already dead on the bus. BUT, they started together killing every walker that came off the bus. Not a single one was Glen or anyone from the prison. Glen! Didn't know Hershel was dead? :tears: He wanted to find Maggie. It's better to team up with the devil you know then the one you don't. This chic, Tara, she was in that fenced in cage, she was lucky that Glen snapped her out of that wanting to just die and stay there, I mean, you have got to want to keep living. This is not what you're sister would have wanted! When Glen fainted after making it out of the prison onto the road and Tara tried to revive him, then walkers to coming out of the woods, she was bashing it's face in. She curses out the people watching from the tank! We have some new characters added to the mix now. This Sgt guy and some other military people. According to the comic book canon, the Sgt was a good character and the show could change him and make him go either way. I wonder if he is the new Governor? So far, Michonne, Rick and Carl Jr. have reunited, I wonder how much closer the group itself is to reuniting? Will we see any progress next week? Or in the upcoming month? I am also noticing that everything has a motive: Survival relates to Hershel. His hope, his teachings. His inspiration. Well so far. If you notice that, he comes up in the conversation in a subtle way or his sayings, something. Nice touch by the writers. Edited by EjamiShipper, Feb 17 2014, 01:24 PM.

I want to say a few things: Beth and Darryl are going to become romantically involved. Carol is going to come back into the storyline. I'm thinking they will all meet up at the new city "Terminus". There is going to be some major jealously from Carol's end. This is going to cause major problems for Darryl and Beth. I hope Carol doesn't do anything to Beth. (Or maybe Lizzie - who think's Carol's her mother. That little girl is a cold blooded murderer!) Darryl will flip the fuck out and something is going to happen to Carol. Just something I've been thinking about. Also Beth said something about Darryl being the last man standing. (In her epic speech/conversation with Darryl) I think the last man standing will be: Carl Jr. and Michonne. Those will be the survivors in the end of this story. Thoughts?

I finally caught up on the show today. Watched all the episodes from this second half of the season. Good stuff. I don't know where they're going with Beth and Daryl, but I kind of hope they don't go the romantic route. Great writing and acting all around. |

ITA on Beth and Daryl, it just doesn't feel right. I want Daryl to be happy and all but Beth seems like a kid. It's just weird and creepy to me. The writing and acting has been supberb all around by all the actors. The show is that good. I cannot stop watching. I want to write my thoughts on this week's show but later this afternoon. When I really enjoy a show I like to provide quality discussions.

Actually I was a bit unsure. But I thought about it and maybe someone from Terminus? Who knows that she killed Tyrese's girlfriend besides Hershel (who is now dead)? Daryl found out right as the prison compound got hit by the Governor, so TBH -- I am just a bit baffled. Didn't Maggie know as well?
