The Walking Dead-
Despite being a little slow I liked last night's episode. You kind of saw the similiarities in the 3 main people at the Prison and Woodbury(the leader, the muscle, the consigliere).

Does Andrea have an empathy left? I despise her after her flip-flopping blindness the last 5 or so episodes.

[SHOW]

Also- Rick and Hershel are too smart to give up Michonne right?

i thought last weeks episode was a "slow" one but i still really liked and gave it like 10/10 (if i gave ratings). this was another slow one but i didn't find it as well done. now i certainly understand why this one was slow and their first meeting was interesting/cool but i dunno, i'd give it like a 7 or 8 outta 10. not that that matters of course.

[SHOW]

i don't think theres any way they give up michonne, they know how good she can be. the only way they would is if its part of a bigger plan and she's in on it. i also think rick is smart enough to realize that he probably doesn't just want michonne. i didn't care for the camaraderie between daryl and the governors right hand man (martinez, i think). it felt odd to me...but whatever. and yeah, andrea...i'll just bite my tongue. i want to like her but they make it so difficult. my prediction for the finale is there will be obviously a big battle between the two groups. i'm "hoping" that there's mystery on the governors fate and then for like the first half of next season they assume he's dead and then for the 2nd half he comes back, causes all hell and finally he gets taken out...or something like that. it's really more 'cause i think david morrissey is a great actor and don't want to see him go away yet. AND i want tyreese in ricks group!

I agree and would probably rate it a little lower. We really didn't need an hour of "WE'RE NOT SO DIFFERENT, YOU AND I" moments between not only Rick and the Gov, but all the henchmen.
Yes, you're still alive and thus, relateable to other people who are alive. Yes, conditions of the world force people to do bad things and everybody is just flying by the seat of their pants trying cope. No, we did not need this episode to tell us that. That scene wasn't DeNiro and Pacino finally acting in the same scene in Heat at that diner. It was the governor talking about nothing, Rick staring at the floor and Andrea doing her "oh no I'm caught between two worlds and I don't know what to do even though I actually do know what to do but am too scared to do it" act.

Also, EVERY scene back at the prison was totally pointless. What? Merle is a dick who is hard to control? Glen and Maggie like each other? What?

[Jocephus]

yeah, you are right, the prison stuff was pointless.

[SHOW]

i have no problem seeing lauren cohan getting nude but that scene just felt out of place...or it went on too long. can't explain it. actually i think the best part of the prison scenes was when out of nowhere beth is the enforcer and shoots the gun to calm people down. hilarious.

[JL21]

Glen and Maggie like each other? What?

That, especially, was extremely pointless, one of the most pointless scenes I've seen in any show that I watch.

I'll admit, though, I liked this episode a lot more than last week's. In general, they underdevelop their characters, and last week's episode is a prime example of how that [expletive] happens. With the Rick v. the Governor stuff reaching fever pitch... they decided to spend 2/3 of an episode on a dude they haven't even mentioned in 2 years. I'd like the show a lot more if it was slower and spent more time helping you care about the characters. As it is now, 90% of the cast might as well be named "Zombie Target #1", "Zombie Target #2", etc...

[docellis]

I don't know, I liked the two sides fighting zombies together. I think it will make the "war" that much more complicated. Those guys don't hate each other. Plus,

[SHOW]

Milton seems to be wavering in his support of the governor, Andrea's "on the inside"...a flat our war the prison gang would lose. With those two on the inside, it could make it much more interesting...I still think the prison gang will need a ruse of some sort to compete with the governor's gang.
