IOW: Starting right about now
Ahh, you beat me to it.
Wow, three good ones in a row, I may have to pass on watching the World Series.
I watched the first 3 because I really like Vanessa Williams and the Guy from Lost, but got bored after that.
Agreed
***Wow, three good ones in a row,****
Actually four! After the first men in the moon is the original silent PHANTOM OF THE OPERA with Lon Chaney! The best Phantom ever made!
Really enjoying Walking Dead this season so far. They’ve got the “Governor” and Michonne. I just hope they stray away from the more perverse/sadistic elements in the comic, but I could be wrong.
It was interesting to see the loose canon Merle kowed by the Governor.
I can’t wait until the Dr. Who Christmas special comes.
Agreed. If you had a conscience and know how to turn the power back on, you don’t wait 15 years in hiding to do it.
Someone said the reason the show got better was that they went from being liberal to conservative. Lorrie was worried about her son wandering in the last season, but also worried about him having a gun, in a world filled with zombies. Now he dispatches them along with the men. The group was worried about ethics and nitpicking social stuff instead of survival, neglecting hard preparations for winter or defense of the farm. Now they clearly have defense front and foremost. Even Carol learned how to shoot and some medical skills from the doctor. It’s more realistic than the assumption that the zombies would continue to leave the farm alone, while Herschel naively denied them their guns.
A post-Obama sci-fi short story, “Fire Season”

I couldn't believe it - Merle turned into a wuss/pussy/wet noddle. That Governor is something else. But, it's so bad outside his walls, I think I would stay there and have a small profile, stay away from the Governor.
And the way Rick took care of Tomas sooner than later, that just blew me away. I was worried they would drag out the season with that little power struggle, but the job was DONE!
I’m also glad Lori admitted that she was a bad mother and wife. So many fans want her character to die off since she’s such a b****. Nice to see her have less edge to her and trying to repair things with Rick and craving his affections.
She’s about to be utterly, physically dependent on him as a new mother and with a screaming dinner bell for zombies (wailing newborn) shortly. She has to keep him willing to do anything for her for them to have a chance at survival. Though that doesn’t happen if they follow the comic story arc.
Sorry, tbw2, I meant to say you nailed that perfectly on the head.
Why does the governor have the zombie heads in the fish tanks?
going over some pings...i’ve never seen that one (u-tube). :-D
