Disraeli Ears

I love how much thought the people on the boards give to things like this! And I would totally believe what you're saying in the real world. But my guess for why the frogs were upside-down? Their UP sides would be too dark to stand out on film. Pale froggy bellies stand out against the dirt. I can see some production assistant: "We can't see the frogs - flip 'em over!"

Yeah, it was Beth's knife - though I don't really recall her having a signature weapon. I think most people will now think of her signature weapon as little surgical scissors.But it should have gone to Maggie.

Sometimes I tell my dogs things like: "Why don't you two layabouts get jobs? You don't even sweep up your own hair!" No, I'm perfectly sane...really. :) Speaking of dogs, I love that they used barbecue sauce to make the dogs look all grotty this past episode. LOL! One of our dogs has longish hair and she likes to get underfoot when we cook so the odds of discovering condiment residue on her are oddly high. "Honey, do you smell barbecue sauce/Dijon mustard/soy sauce?" *sniffs dog, finds sticky clumps of pungent hair* "Ewww. Let me get a wet rag."

Me, too! Persistence! "Would you like this two-year old copy of The Watchtower?" YES! I am super pale and am always up in my loved ones' business about using sunscreen (which is probably annoying but I care!) and I said out loud to Rick: "You're just gonna let that baby burn?! What kind of dad are you?" She is so pale and chubby and cute and I don't want to see little Judith hurt. Tyrese would have kept that baby covered. I was also frustrated with the way Maggie discussed Beth's being missing and saying she assumed she was dead. It was as if the writers read the complaints and shoe-horned that into the show as a way to cover their tracks. One really assumes she would have said that before - it only took a minute or so! ETA: I see Artsda had the same idea about Maggie just now, but explained it more thoroughly.

My SO and I (who tend to be frugal in general, like cooking at home and such) have a housekeeper who comes once a week so I never touch toilet brushes anymore! :) I have become so spoiled, as I was bragging to my mom this weekend. My mom would never pay somebody to clean her house (which, by many people's standards, is always clean), but SO and I would live in a pig sty if we didn't. It is totally worth it, for our time and sanity. And he has been using the same woman for years. We know her quite well now, too. we have actually started paying her to keep our dogs when we go out of town (she loves them so much, she said she would do it for free but we wouldn't take advantage). It's really nice to have someone we can trust.

Yeah, barbecue sauce is hard to get off dogs. I can say that from experience.

Aww, doggies! Noooooo! Why did they have to go there? Leave the reality of dead dogs out of my show...about zombies. Abraham's hair was REALLY distracting in this episode. Who is the makeup person responsible for that travesty? Are they colorblind? Also, Emo Daryl is a drag. "OMG, Beth is dead. Whoa is me!" Please. I also thought the walker barn-door onslaught was Maggie's dream, but I guess not.

I spent my day running around on errands (the SO is OOT so I'm hanging with my BFFs, the dogs). One went to the groomer, one got a bath in the tub (courtesy of me - though she shook so hard this time, I'm beginning to think I'm going to send her to the groomer, too, to assuage my guilt). Now, all is done and we are ready to go hang out and watch Netflix. Last night I spent a couple of hours watching Bob's Burgers (so many good lines, that show). Since SO is not back til Monday, I will have to wait until Monday to watch it with him. *sigh* I'm hoping we are safe from another death so hopefully no big spoilers.

Remember how excited Carl was to eat the pudding? In real life, I think, eating that much of something so rich must do a number on you. I.e., I imagine

Are we sure Rick's beard is even *beard* at this point? It is beginning to look like...mold or lichens or some shit. GET RICK A RAZOR! Bring back sexy stubble Rick! [i'm totally going to start a change petition because I know the power of the INTERNET!!!1!!!] :P

Somebody (actually several of you) mentioned hot dogs? I freakin' love hot dogs, although I don't eat them much. The SO is going to visit his dad in Baltimore this weekend, so it will just be me and my girls (a border collie and a Corgi). When he is gone, I live on a diet of Sonic hot dogs, Kraft Mac 'n Cheese, and Haagen Daas (because he doesn't eat those things). LOL...not so great for the waistline, but good for the soul. About the show and skinny-ness: Yeah, I understand you can't put your actors in danger by asking them to starve themselves, but seriously...they couldn't put Abe and Eugene on a month of eggs and Army-style boot camp? There is no way Eugene would be that schlubby.

So the SO and I went to the home show at the Denver Convention Center on Sunday. He says to me: "This would be a really good place to hole up during a zombie apocalypse." LOL...I <3 him.

Aww - thanks, Walnut Queen! I like your posts, too. Also your dinosaur avi. :) I'll see you around - I am posting more than before!

Hey - my significant other is from Baltimore! Which explains why he has lived most of his life in Colorado. ;) But seriously, he has also told me that it's a great show. As do most of the people I know who've seen it. And I get to see Bob and Tyrese again!

So after tonight's episode, I'm thinking I might want to try watching The Wire (which, like Breaking Bad, I've never seen).

I would often get pissed at Tyrese, but Chad Coleman just seems like such a cuddly teddy bear. I got all sniffly at this death, unlike Beth's (though I got a little sad from Maggie's and Daryl's reactions).

:(

Crying, guys. Seriously. ETA: Chad Coleman's beanie on the cross echoed the opening credits when his name shows - they show the cross with the baby shoes that they found at the cabin. Death of an innocent. Plus the cabin picture and Lizzie and Mika. Anyway, Tyrese could annoy me, but I liked him. Plus I liked Chad Coleman. I'll miss him. Unless "ghosts of victims past" becomes a trend this season!

Howdy! Lovely weather this weekend, eh? I love living in the Mountain Time Zone! TWD at 7! We usually wait until 7:30 while we make dinner, that way we can eat dinner and FF through commercials. Tonight we are having big juicy pieces of...steak! Zombie gore doesn't bother this gal.

Throwing this out there: if any of you like Chris Hardwick (host of the Talking Dead) and you get a chance to see him live, do it! We saw him two weeks ago here in Denver and he was hilarious! Don't take your young kids, though - he cusses some and talks about some *adult* subject matter. But my boyfriend and I laughed for the whole 90 or so minutes he was onstage. And he even did a bit of Q&A with the audience. Someone asked who his fave TWD character was - after a bit of "I like Rick, I like Daryl" he settled on Michonne.

Yep. Lesbian porn, I bet. And he was talking back to the ladies on his screen. Count me in as another who thought the episode title was odd. And, when I watched "the first two minutes," I thought I was watching a preview. I thought it was odd for the actual clip to be bouncing around in time and space like that. *shrug* Well, bring it on, AMC. By the way - we saw Chris Hardwick two weeks ago here in Denver...he is hilarious, if a bit blue.

I found myself thinking about this show last night and how much of the final season ended up being filler for those bloated episodes. Chib's fling with the sheriff? Brook and Rat's relationship? The Eggly in the hospital with Unser bit? Even, unfortunately, Walton Goggins's lovely Venus story. All had slight connections to the main story, but 3 of them merely provided gratuitous sex scenes. *sigh* I enjoyed reading everyone's crazy predictions more than how the actual season played out!

Well, there are apparently no law enforcement officers in San Joaquin County courthouses. Jax had enough time to shoot Marks's associates, stare down Marks, shoot him, and watch him die before hopping the fence. TIG in the doll factory? LOL!

What did Tig whisper to Jax? Jax needed to die somehow. That's fair. So Chibs doing the sheriff was all to set up him threatening her with his new power. Brilliant. Now watching the Sutter tongue-bath. But...OPIE! (I'd volunteer to give Charlie a tongue-bath, though. Rowwwwr!)

OMG - that was EXACTLY what I thought! "Now, that nice tomato man has to live with killing a guy!" I get it - symbolism with Chiklis and all - but....SELFISH!
