What we're about to say, we say with no bias or agenda whatsoever: The next episode of The Walking Dead just might be one of the best of the season. And by "best," we mean deftly written, subtly played and, in the end, emotionally complex. You know, best.
Just what can you expect? Here's a taste. [mild spoilers below]
He was in the series "Jerico" (I think that was the one) and he had a nuclear warhead in the basement of his house......I thought that was a great series but it ended.
Oh aren’t you just special.
VERY hard to watch the end of that one — I did see Carol riding by in the truck... Thanks for the explanations — I had been wondering what the actors’ connection was between TWD and “The Mist.”
Then you don't belong on this thread. But thanks for stopping by and giving us your worthless $.02...........
FWIW, did you know that pure copper pennies are now worth more in bulk than face value? Save enough of your comments and you can put a down payment on a new Land Rover............
Guess we need a fund raiser.......Oh wait.......
Ugh, the ending of that movie felt like being mugged.
I think someone else posted the connection between the actors, though.
Daily KOS is LOADED with the same type mentality.

Thanks for paying attention.
No, not that I know of. Do you want to start one ? If so sign me up as the first to be pinged...........[does it hurt?]
Total mugging!
Sorry, I wasn’t clear about the connection part — I was thinking it was indeed the other poster who said it. Anyway... Can’t wait for tonight’s TWD :0)
Compare that to the 80,000 who watched Piers Morgan, who is a different type of "walking dead," representing a couple of "walking dead" news networks (MSDNC and CNN).
I have never been a big fan of the zombie apocalypse genre. In college, I got drunk and watched Night of the Living Dead like everybody else. But I was taking basic anatomy and physiology classes, followed by microbiology and neurology, on a medical school prep track.
Fantasy requires the suspension of disbelief, and I'm sorry, but it takes a squadron of Black Hawk helicopters to suspend my disbelief that high. Dead tissue is dead. Nobody can bring an entire human sized organism back to life. No virus can do it either.
So I skipped the first two seasons of The Walking Dead and the first few episodes of the third. Finally, one Sunday when my wife was away on one of her notorious five-hour-long, 95% browsing, 5% shopping safaris, and I was incredibly bored, I gave it the "five minute test." If you can watch five minutes of a show without reflexively shutting it off or changing the channel, it might be okay.
Well, I was hooked. As others have said on this thread, the character development and group dynamics are as good as anything I've ever seen on cable. The zombies are usually in the background. It's a case study in post-apocalyptic personality development, and personality disorders.
The fact that I believe an apocalypse can happen, for different reasons, finally enabled me to ignore all those zombies. (A superflu epidemic, followed by economic and social collapse, seems most likely to me as the cause of an apocalypse with survivors. But that's just the microbiology talking.)
Same here! :)
I understand. I didn’t watch the first season. Zombies? Noooooo. No way.
But, I kept reading raves about it, so I noticed Netflix had Season 1. I decided to watch. Half way into Episode 1, I was hooked. Finished Season 1 via Netflix just before Season 2 started on AMC.
That is also similar to how I got hooked on Downton Abbey.
Then the only ones I can think of are the father and son Rick met in the first episode.

I am NOT a fan of the zombie genre either but do find the series very compelling. it is more of a post apocalyptic tale and how people work together to get through it.
Another possibility is that guy in Atlanta who was running things at the senior home, but I think it will be Morgan.
