Anyone wanna give a rundown? Pretty please?


(edited title to warn for spoilers)

[texanwitch]

1. Sorry.

The show has started really well.

Zombies to be killed.

Will not say anymore.

[Flaxbee]

10. OK, I can skip that part - don't like the zombie gore.

But looking forward to seeing more Andrea / Michionne storyline.

[Baitball Blogger]

2. May Day! May Day!

Helicopter went down. Andrea and Michonne meet up with the new group of humans.

[Brigid]

3. Don:t know why no one started a thread yet.

A helicopter crash. Some pretty gruesome zombie action. Nina and Andrea seem to have been hurt. I don't know where these military guys came from.

[charlie and algernon]

4. the talking dead guy had to come in shouting again after another quiet moment

[texanwitch]

6. I hate that.

[Brigid]

8. What's up with that?

It isn't his turn yet!

[Brigid]

5. It's Merle!

Holy crap!

[texanwitch]

7. Rick and Merle will mix up a some point.

What a bad dude.

[Flaxbee]

9. Woot! We've all been wondering when he was gonna show up...

nt

I don't want Merle to f*ck with Daryl. Daryl's a good guy; Merle is bad news.

[texanwitch]

11. The Governor and Woodbury.

I might stay few days and rest up.

[Brigid]

12. Wow.

That's quite a spread they've set up. Hot running water even.

[texanwitch]

13. I would be running to the shower.

Change to some clean clothes.

[Flaxbee]

14. where is this supposed to be? Still Georgia?

nt

[Brigid]

16. I guess so.

[NewJeffCT]

53. Yes

One of the signs said "Woodbury" and in small letters underneath, it said "Georgia"

[MiddleFingerMom]

15. STOP WITH THE SPOILERS!!!

.
.
.
Not even warnings, everybody -- shame on you!!!
.
.
.

[texanwitch]

17. This show slowed paced compared to the first 3.

[Brigid]

18. Why would you look at a "Walking Dead' thread . .

If you don't want spoilers?

[texanwitch]

19. I don't trust the Governor.

Everything is to pretty and calm.

[Brigid]

21. Exactly.

Something is going on.

[Baitball Blogger]

39. That is some serious protectionist crap going on in that man's world.

[NewJeffCT]

52. Umm, the thread title says "possible spoilers"?

that should have clued you in.

[MiddleFingerMom]

57. That was edited and added AFTER I posted my thread about "no spoiler warnings".

.
.
.
The red "this has been edited" notice is still not working, but the OP also added
this to the body of the OP --- &quot edited title to warn for spoilers)"
.
.
.
BTW -- that was a decent thing to have done -- thank you, OP!!!
.
.

[NewJeffCT]

62. ah

didn't realize that - I keep forgetting that you can keep editing posts in the new world of DU beyond the old 10-20 minute deadline, or whatever it was.

[charlie and algernon]

20. wow, the Governor's right hand man looks like a fascinating character

It looks like he could either become very evil or a key ally to Rick's gang.

[texanwitch]

22. Keeping zombies around for protection from the zombies.

A thinking guy.

[charlie and algernon]

23. So the Governor IS a bastard

The Walking Dead needs a strong human villain, this could make for a great season.

[texanwitch]

24. I knew it.

The Governor is not to be trusted.

They took out the army guys quick.

Might be the decoy zoombies the other guy was talking about.

[Brigid]

25. It seems to me. . .

A lot went on over those seven months that we don't know about.

[texanwitch]

26. A wall of heads.

This guy is twisted.

[Brigid]

28. Yep.

We all knew something was wrong.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

46. He probably had to eat his tropical fish at some point.

Can't fault the guy for being a hardcore hobbyist.

[Flaxbee]

27. So - anyone care to give me a short rundown? Bullet points?

What happened at the prison this episode?

What's up with the whole Governor setup?

I am asking for spoilers...

[texanwitch]

29. There was no prison scenes in the episdoe.

The Governor is in control of Woodbury, a little town.

It looks nice but the people are under control by the Governor.

The Governor is twisted.

[Flaxbee]

30. hm. OK, thanks.

I like my prison peeps! Wondering how the heck Hershel is going to make out. But this sounds interesting regardless.

[texanwitch]

31. I make this best I can.

Andrea and MIchionne are walking and they see a Army helicopter go down.

They go to check it out and the Governor and he men also show up.

The Governor's men kill the zombies, and Michionne and Andrea try to stay hid.

The women get found and taken back to Woodbury by the Governor.
The place looks nice but to nice.

At the end of the show the Governor and his men kill the National Guard guys.

He is just a dictator from what I can tell.

The National Guard guys would be hard to control, and they had lots of weapons.

The Governor is twisted, had a wall of heads.

This is a bad dude.

In between the women hang around Woodbury, they know something is wrong.

[NewJeffCT]

54. Well, Merle was there, too

He was the one that found Andrea & Michonne.

Oh, when her zombie pets were making noise before that, and it seemed like the noise might let the governor & his allies discover them at the downed chopper site, Michonne decapitated them without a second thought.

[rug]

32. Woodbury is Governor Romney's dream for America.

[texanwitch]

33. Yep.

Everything safe if you behave youself.

[dawg]

34. Andrea's going to do it again, isn't she?

Some women are just drawn to assholes. (Well, at least on t.v. shows. Maybe not so much in real life since I don't see any beating down my door )

[texanwitch]

35. Talking to much.

She needed to shut up.

[dawg]

37. I agree. I loved Michonne in this episode.

She didn't say much, she just stood around with that pissed off look on her face looking cool as could be.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

47. She was totally badass

While Andrea on the other hand is reverting to dumbass.

[Systematic Chaos]

36. Governor is a sick, sick dude.

He's intent on wiping out straggling groups of men, probably to raise the female to male ratio in his little paradise.

He's got this brainiac guy who's big on tea. Almost like a Goebbels to the Governor's Hitler.

But my early prediction is that Goebbels will actually turn out to be a good-leaning guy before it's over.

The aquariums full of heads are some creepy shit.

[texanwitch]

38. He needs sheep.

No one to question his orders.

He needs women to repopulate.

I was thinking Hilter also.

He wants to control all.

People will give up their freedom for safety.

Sounds familar.

[Baitball Blogger]

41. You didn't get the impression there was something in the tea?

[Joe Shlabotnik]

48. There has got to be something in the tea. n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

49. It's a writer geek thing.

On Walking dead they just said that they put it in because one of the writers is a big tea drinker.

[NewJeffCT]

56. He was even sicker in the comics

swipe for spoilers below.

[font color=white]In the comics, instead of keeping heads in a room, he kept his now zombie daughter chained up in the room. He had removed her teeth, and planted a big kiss on her... also, they had a pit/arena in town where they dumped people who fought against the zombies, in a Roman colisseum sort of way. [/font]

[Demonaut]

40. everyone's infected

gov is an evil sumbitch...has his own CNN and Fox news talking heads

[Baitball Blogger]

50. Good one.

[BlueMan Votes]

42. I hope somebody asks merle why he hacksawed thru his wrist...

intead of sawing thru the rusty bolt he was handcuffed to.

[texanwitch]

43. Good question.

I think zombies were coming to get him, it as been a long time.

Sawing thru his wrist might have seen faster, not good thinking Merle.

I would think the pain and blood loss would have taken him out.

[BlueMan Votes]

44. it would have been easier/quicker to saw the bolt...

he'd probably go into shock or something, just from the pain. (from cutting his own wrist).

[texanwitch]

45. Maybe he was in a panic.

I don't think he would have really made it in the real world.

He would have needed first aid quickly.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

51. If the Gov,

is calculating enough and willing to risk attacking a bunch of well trained and well armed national guardsman; how far is he willing to go to protect his world or achieve his ideas. Great introduction to a scary character.

[Helen Reddy]

55. DISH has restored our AMC.

So missed only the first episode of this season. But alas! AMC is showing all episodes on Sundays so noone will miss a beat. I am wondering where this Gov. ala David Koresch-type story line is going. A "The Stand" type epic show down at the end perhaps?

[Duer 157099]

58. I must be the only one who likes the Governor

And I don't see a problem with him keeping those heads. It probably serves as a reminder of what they are up against.

I like the Miles character (Rubicon). Although, the chemistry lab setup was a little hokey.

I would think that a small group would think that there is strength in numbers and that adding more people to their group would be a good thing. Not sure why the theme has become the living against the living instead of uniting against the dead. Just like politics I guess.

I don't get Michonne's cynicism. Why would she rather be out in the wilderness alone than in a safe community?

And why did she chop off the heads of her pets rather than stab them through the brain?

So many questions.

[WooWooWoo]

59. anyone else notice the head at the top of the whole tanks of heads...

was the army dude who they brought back...alive.

[Still Blue in PDX]

60. I totally missed that on my first viewing. nt

[Still Blue in PDX]

61. I am so thankful to DU for turning me onto this show!

I spent the whole weekend watching seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix and then the three episodes and Talking Dead.

Never, ever liked zombie movies. Didn't know what I was missing!
