The Walking Dead

You spell "annoying" oddly.

You misspelled "blessing"...

A blessing if she vanished for a half season with a long and ultimately fruitless search?

I wasn't that fond of the "missing Sophia" storyline as it is, I don't want "Missing Sofia 2: Electric Boogaloo".

... No... Missing for a while and showing up as a zombie the next time we see her would be the blessing...

Nothing in there said anything about a search for her. Besides, they wouldn't have to go looking through the woods forever. Either Carol is dead and walking through the cell blocks, or she is alive and cornered in some enclosed space, where she'll starve to death within a week and then be dead and walking through the cell blocks.

It's actually pretty straightforward.

Though, I suppose that technically there's a third option(Carol turns into an white Micchone, and slaughters walkers left and right on her way to the other side of the cell block and safety)... But that one shouldn't be taken seriously...

Or Carol was eaten alive, like T-Dog, and they're gonna find her corpse at some point.

Well Kirkman said this, supposedly, about Carol: "I don't want the show to be completely bleak, so there's always some level of hope but it's certainly not looking good. I'm sure we'll see her again, we wouldn't want her to be never heard from again. The way in which she returns, who knows what light we'll see her in when she comes back." So it's entirely possible that she's just missing for a while outside of the prison somehow and shows up later with her longer haircut. Maybe she'll help Merle find the prison.

......What? She just went through a door! What the hell is he saying, she may have ran away from the prison? Why?

I don't know. The full interview is here. I can't say why she'd run away from the prison unless she was being chased by a bunch of walkers and didn't have a choice.

Well, the door that she went through had a lot of light shining through it. I suppose that it could have led outside. Honestly, unless Carol's gotten trapped somewhere or died, she's got no excuse not to show up quickly. If she managed to escape the prison, then where the hell would she go other than straight back to the others?

I think Carol will be fine but take a while, as in two days or so, to make it back because they will have to move slow and do lots of hiding. I think they might also shed light on just how overrun the prison is with walkers or make some other important discovery.

I just finished season 1. I didn't want to watch it at first. I thought there was no way they could make a show about zombie apocolypse work with as many stereotypical tropes as they used. But even the first episode was incredibly interesting.

OK. So I watched the extended preview again. Glenn is digging a grave. Oscar and Axel walk over to him and offer condolences. Glenn says that the group aren't just friends they're family. Oscar says he might have had one friend like that his entire life and is sorry that Glenn lost them - Lori and T-Dog being the them. Glenn say's "I need two more." Does this mean he needs two more friends i.e. inviting Oscar and Axel into the fold. Which is what I thought at first until I read someone's blog post. Or does it mean he need's two more graves dug? Presumably graves #1 and #2 are for Lori and T-Dog so who goes in grave #3?

They probably still think that Carol is dead and Glenn's just digging a third grave under the assumption that they'll find her body.

So, I've been thinking a lot about Merle/Andrea. There seemed to be a disturbing bit of chemistry between them last episode. Normally, I'd never think that such a relationship could ever happen, but I don't exactly have much faith in Andrea's taste in men at the moment. And, it's got me thinking: if Andrea did hook up with him, would Merle be a step up or down from Shane?

Step down. Shane might be an asshole, but I don't think he would have physically hurt her if she pissed him off. It's actually expected that Merle would do such a thing, though...

I dunno. Shane did get pretty obsessively clingy over his other girlfriend. Say what you will about Merle, but I doubt that he'd ever try and murder his ex's husband.

^ I think Merle would, if the situation came up and/or he felt like it would suit his purposes at the time. From his introduction we already know that his consideration of what's appropriate and when is somewhat lacking, from his burning ammo and drawing attention to the store with the plinking from the roof.

So...

They filled in Carol's grave. But... they obviously didn't find her body. Why?

And why was Rick freaking out over that bloated zombie?

I thought the bloated one might have eaten part of Lori. Either that or his belly just reminded Rick of her. As for the Carol thing her grave was filled since they assume she was eaten completely. Also I'm surprised they're doing the phone thing in the show.

At first I thought Rick was going to do like Daryl did to that walker during the search for Sophia last season, and cut open the walker's stomach to see what it had eaten lately.

On another note, did anyone else think that Andrea was being a hypocritical bitch when trying to guilt-trip Michone into staying with her, the way Dale did to Andrea at the CDC when it was about to explode?

I don't think so. I think that Andrea couldn't see why Michonne wanted to leave and was trying to convince her to stay.

So are we supposed to believe that a walker ate Lori up, bones and all? And did the show give us a particularly grisly example of Balloon Belly?

I assumed that they just exercised discretion in not showing what was left of her body. I guess I have a sick mind but that walker eating so much that he grew sluggish like that reminded me of people on Thanksgiving.

The fact that Rick found the bullet on the ground shows that Carl didn't really kill Lori, right? So while she was bleeding out, she was eaten whole by that walker. I might sound sadistic for saying this, but: Thank you Carl! You made my most hated character suffer!

As far as crazy dystopic actions go, cage fights don't seem like the worse thing on Earth. I don't see what Andrea's problem is.
