I am reading speculation that the Governor publicly turned on Merle is part of a plan to have him escape with Daryl so that he can be their inside man at the prison. It does seem possible. I feel for Daryl if it is true.

Great article on the Republican mendacity in the election by Dan Froomkin: http://www.huffingto..._b_2258586.html

Seriously, my Sunday night feels so blah now that Once Upon a Time, but mainly The Walking Dead is on hiatus. I was just surfing the Internet for Walking Dead stuff and found this deleted scene on YT. Have you seen it before? It is really good. So odd seeing how many of the group are dead now. Got to love this show. This scene would have given us the first hint of the Governor and his people who obviously killed the Vatos. I had totally forgotten about the plan to go to Fort Benning. Guess, that is out of the question now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFOQZ6Sr_dI

Ugh, I am going through Walking Dead withdrawal. Dexter will be on, but I no longer enjoy it like I used to and it definitely does not compare to The Walking Dead.

I thought that initially TPTB did a good job of showing why Andrea wanted to stay in Woodbury. She was tired of constantly being on the run and Woodbury seems safe with a semblance of their old lives. On top of which, Michonne never explained the reasons for her suspicions to Andrea and the Governor had done a good job hiding his madness. Yes, zombie death match comes off as brutal, but as he pointed out it is entertainment and no one can really get hurt. However, all of this was undercut by the sexual attraction which made it look to some people like that was her main motivation for staying in Woodbury and letting Michonne leave alone. However, after Penny, the severed heads, and a captured Daryl, the scales have got to fall off Andrea's eyes or she will be a fool.

I mostly blame the writing for both Lori and Andrea. Of course, the Shane fans were always going to hate her for choosing Rick, but on Talking Dead, it was clear that the producers were deliberately having Lori's act in ways that would stir up controversy. The look the writers and producers gave each other and the bungled explanation for her lack of support when Rick's confession that he had killed Shane made that clear. Andrea has now taken on departed Lori's role as unwitting "woman pawn." I don't think that it is a coincidence that they are writing both leading women this way. In contrast, Maggie who is a supporting female lead has become a strong, admirable, fighter, and devoted partner.

I will love Cameron forever if he took out both Marlon and Laurel.

I did not feel sorry for the Governor when Penny got killed. He killed live people with no remorse. It was about time that he suffered. He had it coming. I am quickly coming to the conclusion that after a rough start, Glenn and Maggie are the best tv couple ever. They are simply epic. Among the current crop of tv couples, I like Snow and David on Once Upon a Time, but they are children at play compared to Glenn and Maggie. Glenn making a shank out of a walker's arm for Maggie is the most awesome and gruesome gift of love.

Amazing ratings, although I was hoping that the winter finale would hit a series high. The Walking Dead kicking butts and taking names. AMC has got to be dancing in the streets. No one would have ever thought that a zombie show rejected NBC would be the no. 1 show on little AMC. I hope the delay at the renewal announcement means that we are getting two 16 episode seasons. I know that the producers and actors must be demanding major raises after seeing AMC shell out for low rated Mad Men. I simply do not understand Mad Men. I have given it many chances, but it does nothing for me. Oh, I loved when Kirkman said on Talking Dead that they keep finding new ways to viciously kill zombies to see how far they can test the AMC censors, but they keep getting away with it. You know just know that AMC is happy to let them go all the way to the edge.

Let me know if you find a way to contact Talking Dead about bringing Yvette back. I will send an email in support of her return. LOL! I will happily undertake this task. Like JaneAusten correctly said, TWD's ratings have been killer this season. Only The Big Bang Theory is close among scripted programming. TvbytheNumbers usually does not release Sunday's cable ratings until Tuesday, but if the ratings are very strong, AMC will put out a press release earlier. Last week's ratings: 5.4 in the 18 to 49 demo; 10,427,000 total viewers http://tvbythenumber...re-more/159151/

Neither can I. Life is so transient on the show that it seems a waste to get too invested in any couple. The exception would be Maggie and Glenn who have the only romance that was built from scratch. If Daryl and Carol ever do get together, sorry to say, but she would probably die the next day. AMC is changing things up. When The Walking Dead returns on Feb 10th, an hour long episode of Talking Dead will follow. I hope they have good guests like Yvette Brown again.

I was referring about Laurie Holden who plays Andrea.

I missed Beth kissing Rick in the promo. She is young for him, but he is traumatized and newly single so I say they should go for it. Carl will be fine and grow out of his crush sooner than later. Any attacks on Laurie come from irrational folks on or off Twitter. The blame clearly lies with Kirkman. Michonne had loads of time to tell Andrea about the Governor trying to kill her, kidnapping Glenn and Maggie last night, and the rescue with Rick and others, yet she said absolutely nothing. Andrea will figure things out quickly now that Daryl has been captured. However, it does not mean that she will be able to easily untangle herself easily from the Governor. It seems clear that the season finale will be Rick's people against the Governor in a winner take all scenario.

The next new episode airs on Sunday, February 10th. I don't know if I can survive that long. I LOVE this show! Great preview. Tyreese is going to have to take those two guys threatening Carl and Carol. I can't believe they look at them and just see a little kid and a woman. Carl and Carol would probably kill both those guys in two seconds.

Stan Lee is going to be on Comic Book Men so I will watch it. Now there is a Walking Dead app.

Yep, Carl told Rick that he should stop being the leader. I think that this would be good for Rick, not sure about the group, but he needs the psychological rest. Kirkman is on Talking Dead. I forgot to mention: I freaked out when Michonne's head was in the water with the heads. That was a crazy fight. Kirkman says that Michonne was trying to tell Rick that she needs him. Chit, you are right. Kirkman says that the Governor threw Merle to the wolves because he lied to him about killing Michonne.

But they never allow more than one black male at a time even if they have nothing much to do. They have killed off the only black male just before adding another one. I expect the African American woman with Tyreese not be gone soon enough since we have Michonne. However, I will be pleased to be wrong.

Right, the Latino family did leave alive. I mixed them out with other people who got eaten earlier on. My point holds though.

LOL! Well, I suppose it is better than being Latino. The whole Latino family got killed off and never got replaced. Glenn is destined to be the only Asian guy around. Andrea is a nutjob. Is she really going to stick with the Governor she saw all the crazy walker heads and him keeping his walker daughter "alive" and locked away? Seriously, The Walking Dead is the best show on tv on the moment. Anyone not watching is losing out on damn entertaining thrilling action ride. Nothing compares.

The best part is that the Woodbury citizens have earned the wrought of Rick Grimes. They are all so zombie chow. It is just matter of time before Rick and his people take them out. Poor Oscar. He was the obvious the red shirt. There seems to be a one black male and female rule on the show.

LOL! The crazy ass governor has turned on Merle. Oh no, Daryl! Yes, Andrea, see you are dumb biatch. Don't worry, Rick will come back and save you, Daryl! Damn, that was a great episode! I cannot wait for the next episodes in February. Did Carl tell Rick to stop being the leader in that preview?

Carl is the man! Talk about growing up quick. He saved them and then locked them away from their people. Nice job.

Michonne is a fool. All she had to do is tell Andrea the truth. Andrea is a fool. How is she not freaked out by all of this?

You go Carl! I love that he is brave as hell. He saves Tyreese and his people. They have to leave that woman or kill her.

So Michonne's plan is to sit there and kill the governor? Damn, Daryl is planning to stay and find Mele. Rick is losing his mind. Poor Oscar. I knew that he was a red shirt.
