The Walking Dead 3.10 - Home - Discussion (Spoiler Alert!)

[NewJeffCT]

Should be an interesting episode tonight - Rick and the gang in the prison, Tyreese's group and where they went, Merle & Daryl on their own, plus Andrea and the Gov in Woodbury. I hope they can manage it all together.

[Earth_First]

1. Hopefully it picks up again...

Last week was a snooze-fest!

[Joe Shlabotnik]

2. I was a little underwhelmed by last weeks show.

But then again, maybe the anticipation after waiting 2 months had something to do with it.

[NewJeffCT]

3. I thought it was pretty good

but, I'm hopefully they give Michonne more than one line or two.

[Baitball Blogger]

4. I agree. It's time for some backstory.

[texanwitch]

5. Ghost Lori.

Has RIck lost it.

[Baitball Blogger]

20. Yes.

Glen has already figured it out and said that he's the next in charge.

[Flaxbee]

6. ok -- spoiler requests!

almost half-time mark - what's going on?

[Baitball Blogger]

7. I just started the dVR. Rick is chasing ghost Lori.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. Michone just gave Rick a look like, Do I stick to Cray-cray leader no. 1 or no. 2?

[Baitball Blogger]

9. Michone speaks. She tells them of the head tank.

She tells them the governor is coming.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. I told you the Governor was going to be suspicious of Andrea.

[MrScorpio]

11. OH NO!!! nt

[Flaxbee]

13. this is the spoiler thread!

what's "OH NO"??

Must know. Please.

At work, no teevee.

[Baitball Blogger]

14. Ssshh. Just give me another half hour!

[Flaxbee]

16. ok

[Baitball Blogger]

22. OH NO!!!

I reached the spot. The Governor has made it to the prison and just killed Carole's new love interest!

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Carole has found someone to take her mind off Daryl.

[Flaxbee]

15. y'all quit f*cking with me

gimme details!

[Baitball Blogger]

18. I'm tweeting!

[NewJeffCT]

23. Axel got killed

Carol was finally warming up to him,and bang, he gets shot in the head.

[Baitball Blogger]

27. Looks like the Governor gave them a cause they could all galvanize around.

Merle just found a way back into the fold.

[NewJeffCT]

58. True

the attack will probably unite the gang, hopefully putting off their inter-personal grievances for the short-term. Though, Merle is a wild card, and who knows what will happen with Andrea?

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

61. Carol just can't catch a break;

neandrethal hubby, daughter gets lost, new friend gets it...............

[texanwitch]

26. I saw that coming. I was starting to like the guy. Axel seemed like a nice guy.

I Knew the two brothers would not get along anymore.

[Mojorabbit]

46. I was starting to like him also and then boom. nt

[krispos42]

48. The Governor then promptly put that someone's mind ON Carol! n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

17. Oh, Awesome head caught in the SUV hatch.

[Baitball Blogger]

19. Daryl just helped out a latino family. Merle and Daryl are having an

argument of conscience. Daryl just figured out he needs to get back to the prison, where he belongs. Merle is afraid to go because he has issues with Glenn.

[NewJeffCT]

49. I knew something was up

when Merle called Glenn "The Chinaman" or something like that, and then Daryl retorted, "He's Korean!"

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Herschel is trying to talk to Rick, pleading with him to take back the reins of leadership.

Rick is telling Herschel he saw something. He admits he sees Lori. He knows its not her, but he believes there's a reason for it. He sounds pretty sane, though he's talking cray-cray.

He says he's waiting for something, an answer.

Herschel tells him to come back into the prison. Rick says he can't and goes into the woods, alone.

The male prisoner is hitting on Carole. The two of them know that Rick is cracking.

[Baitball Blogger]

24. They are idiots for not expecting a swift attack from the Governor!

[NewJeffCT]

25. True

good move by the Governor driving the truck through the fence and having the back of it loaded up with walkers

[Baitball Blogger]

28. Walker Bomb is what they are calling it on Talking Dead.

Yeah. No question that the Governor is evil based on these extra-curricular activities.

[NewJeffCT]

31. In the comic, the governor

used a tank, if I recall.

[texanwitch]

30. THey should always have a guard in the tower.

Could RIck look more sweaty and dirty. He makes me want to take a bath.

[NewJeffCT]

33. well, Glenn had mentioned that early on

which turned out to be some foreshadowing

[Joe Shlabotnik]

44. I wonder who drew the short straw and had to drive the postal truck.

[NewJeffCT]

52. It looked like somebody not very big

dressed up in all that body armor - so, I guess it may have been a woman?

[blogslut]

62. My question is what happened to that person?

I may have missed a bit because I didn't see her/him anywhere near the victory truck that the Governor and his gang drove off in.

[Baitball Blogger]

66. She made it out safely. Even took shots at Michone on the way out.

I guess Michone was out of bullets by then.

[Baitball Blogger]

29. Oh, Wow. Is that who I think it is on Talking Dead?

Where is LynneSinn when you need her?

[NewJeffCT]

32. He just gave out a big comics spoiler, though

about Rick losing his hand in the comics.

[Baitball Blogger]

34. I don't know if Rick can afford to lose much more and still be a leader.

[NewJeffCT]

36. well, he still has two kids

and all of his limbs - still a lot for him to lose.

[Flaxbee]

35. So, question: are Daryl and Merle heading back to the prison? Already there?

Can't quite tell from the comments what happened with them.

And what about Andrea?

[NewJeffCT]

37. Yes

Rick was outside the prison when the governor attacked, and he got pinned down by machine gun fire, so couldn't get back. However, as the assault wound down, Rick was out of ammo and surrounded by walkers - then Daryl & Merle rescue Rick when he was about to get bitten.

[Flaxbee]

39. yikes. is the Governor still in the prison?

Has Andrea pulled her head out of her butt yet?

[Baitball Blogger]

40. Governor left after he deposited a truckload of zombies in the yard, after breaking down the

the gate by rushing it with the truck.

But they know he's coming back.

[Baitball Blogger]

38. Andrea was stuck in the town and the governor slipped out to attack the

prison.

Daryl and Merle had a fallout and Daryl realized his place was with Rick's group. He told his brother he was going back and it was up to him to come with him. Merle was concerned because he has history with Glen.

The next time you see the two brothers, Rick is about to get swarmed by three zombies. One zombie was in his face when one of Daryl's arrows pierces the zombie's head from behind. If that arrow had gone a little further, it would have hit Rick in the face. Anyway, Merle redeems himself by saving Rick's life.

It ends with the three of them outside of the fence of the prison with a yard full of zombies between them and the others in Rick's group which have had to retreat behind the interior prison fence.

[Flaxbee]

42. thanks much, BB, for all the scoop!

[Baitball Blogger]

41. Do you think that Lori's appearance is an omen trying to tell Rick

to leave the prison? She is always walking away from the prison.

[NewJeffCT]

43. Not sure yet

but, she looks great all cleaned up and in white...

[Joe Shlabotnik]

45. I was expecting

that when they finally got around to showing her face, it would be all decomposed, sending Rick totally out of control.

Too bad she didn't get shot again though.

[Mojorabbit]

47. I was expecting that also! I was surprised when she looked all fresh and lovely. nt

[NewJeffCT]

50. That thought crossed my mind

as well.

[Baitball Blogger]

55. The writer said that she is suppose to represent all the good things in their life.

I'm not quite sure how to interpret that, since her appearance interfered with Rick making the right choice with Tyrese's people.

[LP2K12]

53. Interviews with the writer...

63. I don't see any links?

or, am I missing something?

[LP2K12]

65. Strange...

They were there when I clicked edit and resubmitted.

[NewJeffCT]

67. I see them now

At first I thought it was because the links were blocked at my work, but then I didn't see them when I got home, either.

Thanks

[NewJeffCT]

51. OK - where the hell did Tyreese & company go?

The way they came in was through zombie central - did they go back out of the prison that way, or did they leave through the front door? Did they stop somewhere inside the prison?

[Baitball Blogger]

54. And where is the zombie door where the zombie's keep getting into?

[Baclava]

56. I didn't like it - Season 3 is going downhill

Michonne the scowling mute ninja is horrible - speak already!!! I really think they just threw that character in there because she was a hit in the comics - she brings nothing to the series so far.

it's all becoming a little too cliche with Merle and Daryl and the Guv and duh Andrea and who gives a shit about Ranger Rick and his ghosts anymore?

[NewJeffCT]

57. well, Michonne did speak a bit last night

and, she did rush out there to help save Hershel. However, I agree that I think the producers threw her out there and don't know what to do with her. (in the comics, Tyreese joined the group even before they got to Hershel's farm, with Michonne meeting the group after they got to the prison...)

What's cliche about Merle/Daryl? The fact that they were both whipped by their father? That Daryl went back to the prison? I think Merle's a bit of a wild card - I wasn't sure if he was going to turn on Daryl or not, and now I'm wondering if he's going to hold their plan to rob the camp outside of Atlanta over Daryl's head? Still not sure about Merle's loyalty - if it's an elaborate ruse by the Governor to plant somebody inside.

[Baclava]

59. Daryl/Merle what was that deal on the bridge?

I get Daryl is the white knight and Merle is the dark hat villain, but did they both go dumb? - they kill off all the walkers then leave a bunch of good looking vehicles behind and wander off back into the woods again? not me

[NewJeffCT]

60. good point

I would at least ask them for a ride to the prison...

[Baclava]

64. I mean, the whole point is for us to identify with these survivors, right?

when they start doing obviously stupid shit, I notice



dammit, I want to LIVE!

or something

[LP2K12]

68. they are following the novels...

at this point most of the vehicles are out of fuel or have been scavenged.

most humans are living off "nature" hence merles crack about searching for items in homes.

[NewJeffCT]

69. In that regards, they are following the novels

but, a lot of the plot has been different - there were no Merle and Daryl in the novels... Tyreese joined the group right after they left Atlanta and before they got to Hershel's farm... Andrea never slept with Shane or the Governor... the Governor was more of brutal warlord from the beginning in the books, while he was more of a ruthless politician in the TV show... the group stuck together a bit more, too. Andrea, Tyreese, Michonne, etc were all together with, Rick, Glenn, Maggie, etc when they fought off The Governor... oh, and it was Dale that got his leg amputated in the books, not Hershel.

[LP2K12]

70. correct.

Hershel should also be gone by now. Rick should be the one missing a hand instead of Merle.

I take it for what it is... entertainment.

[NewJeffCT]

71. we still have 6 more episodes this season

for Rick to lose his hand and for Hershel to die - though, I think Dale died post-prison in the graphic novels (the cannibal encounters?)

I remember in season 1, when Merle sawed off his own hand, there was speculation that Merle would end up being The Governor on the show, and would lop off Rick's hand as revenge. Merle seems closer in personality to the Governor that was in the graphic novels, too. (tough guy/bully)
