I actually chuckled that when Ford went looking for his wife they just had the glass doors of a 7/11 type place, not locked, not barred, not boarded up and they just slept like that and felt safe. Again maybe really early days and they didn't know what was up.

I got to see Josh McDermitt at Walker Stalker Con and liked him from there, he's the only reason I have sympathy for Eugene. And I know I'm capable of liking Cudlitz because of his appearances elsewhere, I just don't care about Ford. I wish Talking Dead could expand to like Beth hate but I know the partnership they have with the show they can't actively ridicule characters. But my mind can. And I am so glad someone mentioned the dude who does the after show for SOA, who is that guy? You gotta think it's somebody, a writer? somebody in the know of the show? but he is sooooo bad! I like Talking Dead because it brings humor to a heavy show and I like the geeky enthusiasm Chris Hardwick has for Breaking Bad and Talking Dead, things in his wheelhouse. The SOA guy is just awkward interviews. He's as bad at interviewing as Otto aka Kurt Sutter is at acting. (I know Otto is the writer/auteur of SOA and he might be a friggin genius, he just is NOT a good actor)

Holy crap I think I'm Eugene! I had a dream on 9/11 about the earth running out of oxygen because of solar flares on the sun. They had people on tv describing it and Joyce Brothers was there telling us how we were going to die peacefully in our sleep. And the news was all about how you needed to get where you're going because internal combustion engines need oxygen so they will quit running....all science I don't actually own in my brain. I even knew the names of gasses on the sun. So in the ZA I can apparently spin some crap into science and be believable and people will protect me. And MULLET FREE SINCE '93! I will just be happy to get back to the OG gang/CDB and see who Daryl is carrying

I got enough in the dark scenes to know Abraham was having the convo with Glenn but in the like zoom out if we were supposed to see or believe there was someone watching or imminent danger or something we "should" see I wasn't getting it. Without Talking Dead I would not have understood why Ford's family freaked. They did not do a good job of filling us in but thankfully it wasn't all flashback, I need parts of the group (even if it's Maggie who can't remember she has a sister) to remain focused. Personally his rage was justified if his family was attacked/raped and the wife fleeing was just dumb but I think they're going for a vibe that Abraham has anger issues and yes he is repeatedly opening the wound on his hand, not intentionally like a cutter but it can't heal because he can't heal.....omg I've had a moment of depth....not. Not a shocker that Eugene was full of crap, he stalled going on Glenn's mission to find Maggie, he went back for them in the tunnel, he sabotaged the bus, he finally could stall no longer. I do actually feel bad for him because he's at least more interesting than Beth or Ford. Michael Cudlitz is capable of making me care, I just think they are making him too cartoony. When he got on top of the firetruck and saw the sign and laughed, he could have been Yosemite Sam with red hair and whiskers.

We were having fried chicken, I looked at my chicken leg and looked at my sister's chicken leg and I declared "there's something funny about your chicken" and she started to cry. "Its got knees!" Turns out my dad was having frog's legs and they decided to slip some to my sister to see if they did indeed taste like chicken to us. So as long as Bob's leg doesn't have a knee I can probably choke it down. Wait the people eaters were bad.

I'm staying rainbow smiley face. And I'm getting "SATELLITE SUBSCRIBER! YOU MAY BE IN DANGER OF LOSING THE WALKING DEAD. CALL YOUR SATELLITE PROVIDER AND TELL THEM TO KEEP AMC" non stop. I've lost AMC 3 times now, with Dish, Directv and this is directv again which I paid extra to get my channel. But if it's dropped again I will either go to a friend's to watch or find other means. I'm not switching again. I'm not sure if AMC having such trouble because they demand more money ( can't imagine directv is actually trying to keep my costs down) I think Directv wants to jack up the price because people want AMC so bad. Dunno who is the bigger jerk but every year I'm threatened with losing my channel. and completely unrelated they tried offering me HBO and another premium channel for the "special price" of $17! When did HBO go up so much? I only get the 3 free months when they throw it in, I haven't paid forever but last I checked it was $12. That will hurt come Game of Thrones time. But HBO is coming up with their own thing soon, subscribe directly and skip the cable providers.

Are the "3 sheets" in that saying talking about TP? I've never had triple ply in my life. Those are some rich people getting drunk that can flaunt their fancy TP at us!

I always think of the TP and any other useful things. This goes way back, at a drive in movie my parents were watching and I was in my footie pajamas, supposed to go to sleep after the cartoon, there was a creature stalking campers and one poor soul left the tent in the middle of the night to go potty (inevitably to be eaten by the creature) but I yelled "DON'T FORGET TOILET PAPER" at the screen rather than be scared of the monster. I'm sure this is horrible but I'm taking shoes, clothes, food, tp anything useful I find along my journey. If you die next to me I will make sure you don't turn but then I'm also taking your shoes. But I will stop short of Otis-ing you, I won't kill you in order to get away. (I think)

The Canadians are taking over! All my people lost that I voted for. Oh well, zombies are coming anyway. And in the ZA I will be the idiot whining that I just miss tv. They will ostracize me not because I kill Karen but because I keep humming theme songs and reminiscing about the whacky hi-jinks, they will yell "WE ARE ABOUT TO DIE AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GILLIGAN?" And food, I will refuse the can of cat food but I'm all over a stale cheeto

I watched a few of the webisodes from season 1, they had the backstory of bicycle girl, etc and this episode felt like that. Team B went in and shot this, even the effects weren't as good. In the beginning I don't think they beat us over the head with EK singing. Around the campfire felt kinda natural. Maybe tinkling on a found piano at the funeral home wouldn't be a stretch if you hadn't seen one in a while, but I keep remembering episodes of Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley that all of a sudden held a talent show or some weird variety show and everyone broke into song and it was so bizarrely thrust at us. I dont think they've gotten there yet with Beth but I don't want them forcing it down our throats.

I shouted "Everybody Hates Noah" at my tv, the first kid who got sick last season, who turned in the prison and got everyone else sick, was Chris' little buddy so there must be a casting director who worked for both shows. I'm hoping that Noah is with Daryl and they sent Carol in undercover, otherwise this episode wasn't spectacular. I was playing a little drinking game with myself, drink every time Beth gets slapped. I was happily tipsy by the end of the episode. I was like "yes, hit her in the same spot, really leave a scar".

CLOVERTRACEY, ON 29 OCT 2014 - 10:15 PM, SAID: Hah! First post. I've been cyber-stalking you guys for a few episodes, wanna join the party. Look forward to trading cutting edge (get it?) comments next Sunday! :) Welcome, how many walkers have you killed? How many people and why? Is that a sword in your pocket or are you just happy to see us?

It could also be a very good sign, if she was only supposed to be in 1 or 2 episodes and walker bait. They liked her and kept her around. The others, whether long term or short, had a story arc planned from the beginning. So she's defying the odds and staying alive.

I don't know if this is relevent, but Michael Rooker explained he was hired, in the beginning, as a "local hire" (he's from Alabama) even though he actually lives in L.A. or elsewhere and that part of his contract were certain things like, they didn't put him in a hotel or find lodging for him, no per diem and something in the credits. He also was not initially supposed to come back later so for when Merle returned he got a better deal. I don't know if Sonequa has a deal along those lines or not, could be Michael Cudlitz and Chad Coleman have much better agents and credits were part of the deal to begin with.

Remember the "Dammit, Carl!" era? I almost yelled "Dammit, Judith!" when she cried. I just snorted, because when my grandparents took me to their church when I was a kid and the Sunday school teacher asked me who my grandparents were I said "grandma and grandpa" so she tried to get actual information out of me and asked "when grandpa talks to grandma what does he call her?" and I replied "Dammit Dorothy". But oh, yes, Carl and the hat almost sent me into convulsions of anger because I knew he was gonna get Dale killed...etc.

The Termites are way beyond help. Not for one instance would I believe that Gareth would get up and not continue to hunt them down one by one. Martin for sure was defiant in the kneeling, the writers could have easily made the slaughter "self defense" by just having Martin lunge or some such. I personally don't need that because this is fiction. Gareth = bad, don't care how you kill him and don't think less of anyone with a machete or a needle. There is nothing "humane" left in ZA. Technically, aside from the bat to the head, Gareth's method of trough killing was the most humane. That's exactly how they used to slaughter cattle. Now they have a gun so they feel nothing but the idea to drain blood while it's still pumping so it is icky beyond the thinking of it. And Father Gabriel's "this is the Lord's house" was just how far removed he is from what's happening in the world. He hasn't been a man of god since he turned his back on parishioners, even if it was out of fear.

While I find the poll questions annoying I thought I was gonna be awesome on the clock one, because, at Walker Stalker con Greg Nicotero said they set the "watches" (hershel's specifically) to the episode number, so when Rick looks at Hershel's in the first episode it was 5:01 so I figured the clock question would be 5:03 but that wasn't a choice. So I guess clocks aren't easter eggs.

Oh yes! Planet Rooker would be a hoot. He let the audience ask their questions then did a rapid fire "yes" "no" answer question thing to which he mostly shouted "next" if he thought it was boring or redundant. Someone asked which celebrities would he like to work with or something about celebrities he shouted "none! I hate em" And when I get my junk together I shall find a way to post my clips, not the most fascinating but hey it's all I got.

I'm not bothered by how Gareth knows everyone's name but that he is so far gone he refuses to name the ones he has the most venom for, Carol is gray haired bitch, Daryl is the archer, but he name drops everyone else down to Judith. And I was under the impression that since everyone already has the virus that unless Bob's bite was fatal then he would be ok. T-Dawg they took out most of his neck, clearly he wouldn't survive, Hershel they chopped off the leg and he was ok. Bob wasn't gonna survive the leg chopping etc but the bite didn't seem fatal to me. And I would have liked at least Martin to start to turn, one of the termites just to see tainted meat play out.

They did this at Walker Stalker Con, the "dead men" and "dead women" and it was good and bad, Jeffrey DeMunn was funny but he doesn't have a tv so he pretends they all found a safe place with fruit trees, he hasn't kept up with the show and he never was into the comics so he has no perspective whatsoever. And Andrea said she can't watch because she can't watch her friends die. Allen (Dude with wife and kid with Tyrese's group) was like super duper knowledgeable. He is massively into the comics and keeps up would be an excellent guest in this capacity.

Obviously this means nothing on the show but at Walker Stalker Con Lauren Cohan was asked how come she was only searching for Glenn and the answer given was that Glen is the symbol for safety amongst the group, so writing Glen means all but she did say she desperately wanted to tag "and Beth" every time she left a note. I definitely thought something was up with Bob being outside crying, either he was bit or he's done something that compromised the safety. Either way Bob is as dumb as a box of hair.

I guess it's best to go with people (seriously can't believe I never could scrape up somebody from town) so someone could be saving a seat and another get in line to ask questions. Or someone to go get things signed while one went to see panels. There's no way to do it all by yourself. They seemed genuinely pleased to meet people, thrilled with their jobs and not too much diva-ness. Norman tended to be late for stuff but it's possible the wranglers couldn't really keep him unwrangled. They all tended to swear a lot and a little 7 year old would have just asked a question and then they say bad words. And they all said "you watch this show and you're not scared?" and they're upset the kid isn't scared of zombies. haha They all praised each other and everyone else's projects. They all gave shout outs to John Bernthal saying he is the absolute best to work with. They all seem to love where Carol's going. Sophia was there and she looks nothing like Sophia. Desperately searching my brain for tidbits that we haven't heard before. And I know there's tons I'm leaving out. I need to sort my videos but they're all so short just to get a taste and they always said good stuff as soon as I stopped. * whispers* I don't know how imgr tweety vine etc I don't do none of that. Nobody needs to know my constant thoughts on lunch or my hair or whatever random stuff people update constantly with. I have a fake facebook that I uploaded them to. But I nearly lost it because it wanted to "verify" who I am and I couldn't remember the random birthday I put in. haha

Jason Momoa was there and some vampire diaries dudes so there was cross over, the question I would have wanted to ask if I could have gotten in the line but nooooooooooooooo Colleen and her sister from Ohio and some dude named Sintron got in every single line somehow, anyway, I would have asked what was the most satisfying evil do-er death... the governor or Joffry on Game of Thrones. Michonne and the Governor were the two I would have liked to have seen. There was no way I could have stood in any of the lines for signing, you would be there all day and never make it to any of the panels. Plus I don't know what they charged once you got up there, they had a variety of pictures you could choose that they would sign and they would take a picture but I know Daryl charges some $150! Oh Andrew Lincoln is very funny, he was very non Rick. They talked a lot about the beard and apprently it's shown on screen but they're extremely hush hush about the beard but it's now in a plastic bag in Norman Reedus' fridge. He's preserving the DNA to clone Rick. For all panels they pretty much just had you go to your seats (vip, gold, silver etc) but once the sections were filled you could move up. But for Norman and Andrew, omg it was like stampede on the African Safari. There was no standing or sitting in the aisles, they had an overflow room. I grabbed a seat in the overflow room during some earlier thing and just didn't budge otherwise there would have been no way I would get to see it. They had very big screens they projected everything onto so it didn't really matter if you got "close" to them, the best view was probably in the back closer to a screen.

I apologize for the extreme stream of consciousness posting. but I'm trying to recall everything. Michael Rooker is completely batshit crazy. He cancelled first day (stuck in traffic) but rescheduled Sunday. He wouldn't sit down, all over the stage, making up his own questions. I have random video snippets and don't even know what to do with them to share. Right before The Hershel, Beth, Maggie panel some jackass asked his girlfriend to marry him. If thats your thing, great but she didn't seem that into it and she was dressed as the governor. (Maybe she was overwhelmed) No clue how this dude got permission to do this but they clearly were in on it. He may have some affiliation to Walker Stalker con. Most people seem very much like themselves, Hershel is very calm and nurturing, and Dale is very Dale-y. He was funny because he doesn't have a tv so he hasn't kept up and in his mind they all live in a happy valley with fruit trees. Chandler Riggs is much less annoying than Carl, all his panel was little bitty kids. He does think the Carl Poppa video is funny and they played the hell out of all of the bad lip reading videos.

I survived Walker Stalker Con! It was both very much fun and entirely worth it but holy moly it's a lot LOT. First day was very quiet got very close to Hershel, Joe (Jeff Kober), Crazy Mary, saw the booths and junk. Most of the big names were not there yet. Sat in on couple of small panels, the dead men of WD, with Martinez, Oscar, Allen and Tlove (governor henchman dude) truly Martinez is awesome. Allen is major WD nerd from comic books got very deep into it. Second day watched Greg Nicotero's special effects panel. and Andrea and Dale's panel. Where they spent too much time on Andrea's recent saving of slave trafficking. They talked about it and then idiots stood up and asked the same questions that had just been answered. There was a lot of that. Idiot girls (the same ones over and over, I got to where I knew the names and they're from Ohio) and omg women shamelessly hawking out their kids in order to get a hug. People pay money to get the vip photo op stuff and they're not supposed to ask for that during the panels and they wasted so much time. They send their kid up there to stutter out a really stupid question then Norman Reedus or Andrew Lincoln would pull the child up and gush how cute and then the woman gets a hug. And these kids have balls! This one kid Rosie got a hat from Steven Yeun earlier at the signing then she gets up on stage during the q & a asks him what he wants to be for halloween (stupid question but great answer) then she ASKED COULD SHE STAY UP ON STAGE WITH HIM. This irritated me to no end. I didn't think it was cute or precocious. anyway his answer was...he hates halloween because when he was a kid his mom made them an awesome dragon costume but didn't understand that dragons didn't have clown faces, she put big lipstick cirlces on his cheeks and like a red nose or something. He fell asleep on the couch at 6 pm no one woke him up and he missed trick or treating all together. And they went to his cousin's neighborhood where they gave out the good stuff, full sized candy bars and he missed it. so he hates halloween.
