  2. It depends on the comedian. A really great one would be nice, but I'm afraid they would get one who would ask him if he's going to hook up with Beth. 

    I have a feeling they were afraid that them not having on this season would cause some sort of controversy because of the subject matter of the finale (which they seemed to avoid talking about as often as possible), so they needed to make sure people knew he would be on at some point.

  3. I wish we'd seen more of her too. I was so scared they were going to kill her as some "noble sacrifice" where she saves Judith. I don't want to see that. I want to see her back in the group as she, and they, have changed so much. Her interaction with Rick in particular wil fascinate me, as she's softening while he's hardening.

  4. Just wanted to go ahead and create this. I always have ideas for title threads, but some aren't great, and I'd be interested in hearing other ideas. The mod said they'd add the title after a decision is made.

  6. I think the difference is that Rick had so much unfinished business with Lori when she died. Amy and Andrea had actually just resolved a lot of theirs. Andrea talked about missing out on so much because of her being older than Amy and away doing her own thing. The ZA was their chance to reconnect and become closer. And, of course, Carol and Sophia didn't have that. I would think losing a child would basically be the worst thing ever, but it was almost sort of anti-climactic because Carol had so long to get used to the idea. But with Lori it happened very suddenly and her and Rick were still not in a good place. Rick had been punishing her all winter and she was desperately trying to make things right. Shortly before she died, they had the moment on the catwalk where he finally showed a smidge of tenderness toward her. But they weren't there.....yet. I think his grief after she died was spurred by immense guilt. I think he wished that he hadn't been so cold to her, and had made things right before she died. And now he never would be able to.

    I also don't think Carol or Andrea resolved most of their grief. Andrea tried to commit suicide. She would have if Dale hadn't essentially forced her to leave the CDC because he would have died too. She then became obsessed with proving how strong she was and what a leader she was, which ultimately led to her death. Carol put all of her anger and pain about Sophia into her relationship with Lizzie and with Mika, only to see her idea (that if a child is "strong," the rest solves itself) end in tatters. 

    They didn't have flashy, melodramatic breakdowns the way Rick has had a few times, but what seemed like togetherness on the surface was much more damaged within.

  8. Most of the joking in her episode was about "Caryl" vs "Bethyl." I think she, like I, may have felt that was disrespectful to a story about mental illness and two children being murdered. 

    The Love Actually woman tells her story.

    The bonus clip, where Andrew reveals that he's the one who remembered that Rick should recognize Tara, and he sort of puts down his attempt at a Southern accent, much to their horror. (and Chris sort of flirts with him a little bit...)

    Scott Gimple's actually funny here. In a droll way.

  9. I feel like if the group gets back together and they had a vote as to whether Carol or Rick should lead, Carol would/should win.

    I'm not sure if Carol has ever been a leader of the group. If anything she's avoided that role. She refused to get involved when the farm group argued about Randall's execution. She objected to Rick's leadership, but she had no other idea of what they should do. At the prison, she taught kids how to use weapons, but only without parents knowing. When the virus hit, she could have suggested they kill Karen and David. Instead she killed them and stayed quiet until after Tyreese went on a rampage. She could have gone back to the prison to get Lizzie and Mika or to plead her case. Instead she stayed away. 

    I think Carol's a very determined and strong woman, which is good and fascinating to watch, but is it in a way that leads others or helps others? I felt like The Grove was her realizing that's not entirely the case. She wanted Lizzie and Mika to be strong, and where did that get them?

    Her confessing to Tyreese was the first time I can remember her being so direct with her actions and her feelings in a very, very long time. I hope this is a step forward for her.

  10. I sometimes feel guilty about finding Rick so hot when he's having a breakdown or when he's so far over the edge, but he was incredibly hot in this episode. Even those night shots with his hair all Jon Snow insane, blood on his mouth. The zeal in his eyes. This was a calling for Rick.

    The jacket does not help my feelings. 

    I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be worried at the darkness, but I loved seeing Rick so dangerous and feral.

    I don't think Rick's a bad leader; he's not a great leader, but he has his moments. I just don't think the group has ever been one that is served well with one leader. The main exception was the months on the road after the farm was destroyed, but the rest of the time it's just too many disparate personalities. This small group with Daryl, Michonne, and Carl is the type he'd be better leading.

    My Rick thread title will always be - He Goes For The Jugular.
