I enjoyed this episode. The stalking sequence was really well done, and whoever wrote this episode gave us more insight into the personalty of the governor without dialogue than that bullshit sob story waste of time last week. Andrea for all her faults is a tough customer and really gives as good as she gets in fights.

For me this was the first truly bad episode of the series so far. Supremely boring, I was actually FFing through parts like that needless love scene of Maggie and Glen. First the Governor tells a little sob story but what does it matter? Who even knows if it is true and why should I care or even be partly interested? How does that explain the jars of zombie heads in his bedroom? The hour spent cutting a deal--a deal we know will never be cut--was for what purpose? And then we are allowed to see the Governor has a hidden gun Han Solo style ready to kill Ric. Well, at the end of the episode he tells his henchman to kill Ric, so that begs the question of why didn't he just kill him while they were sitting at the table? It was fake suspense, a dangling plot element that was inserted for no reason whatsoever. Meanwhile we come to the only character that made sense the entire episode: Merle. He wants to kill the Governor and the gang doesn't trust him. Well, this was the exact same status quo when we last saw them two weeks ago, so why did I have to see it again? I thought perhaps we would get an alliance of Merle and Michonne, but that was a dead end too. And where are the zombies??? One of the important elements of the show is the tension and danger the zombies provide, but this episode was almost zombie free with just two people talking in a conversation that had no significance whatsoever to anything that will come after it.

Why do they need a big set for five busybodies just sitting around chatting? Of all things it is talk shows that don't really need a set. My opinion of the view is these people hosting it were often clueless about the things they were talking about which is why they often wound up in the news. That one host who couldn't state whether the world was round or not, Whoopi saying dog torture was a cultural thing for southern black america, and then again her defense of Mel Gibson. And of course the breakout star of the View: Star Jones. She wound up actually becoming famous thanks to her ridiculous wedding and her lies about weight loss. Joy Behar comes across as the most normal of the bunch but admittedly I have probably seen the show less than ten times during its entire run.

I felt bad for the hitchhiker. The guy is a human and in this situation every able body counts. If he turned out to not work out they could have kicked him out of the compound but person after person has come to want to join the group and Rick has turned them all away, and then conversely they discuss how all they have is Rick, Daryl, and now Merle to fight. Looking at the governor's town we see that dozens are more than 4, and hundreds are more powerful than dozens, and the basic premise of safety in numbers plays out. 400 humans stand a better chance of survival than 40, and 4000 would stand an even better chance. Carl is one of my favorite characters on the show because being a child we are able to see how dramatically he is changing and how not a child he becomes with each episode.

Cool promo, it looks like Dragon Queen is finally making some progress getting to where she wants to go. The only thing I am getting tired of is how Impy is always first among equals in these promos. It's enough of him already. I haven't read the books but is he the star of the early novels also, because he certainly has taken over the show.

It is a comic book!

This is from the worst period in GH history, featuring the worst cast ever assembled in the worst stories. Alcazar, Ric, Tamara Braun, Courtney, Sam...it is a Guza wet dream.

I guess he was nervous

Robin Sachs, who played Adam in the reunion movie, has died. I guess he was known for other things.

I don't know how old you are, but as someone who remembers the Koch administration, that is not how I remember it all. Jesse Jackson would show up in NY on a semi regular basis to protest, seek political gain and try to cause trouble for the city he called "Hymietown". He refused even on camera to shake Koch's hand, and he was open about using the death of a african american boy to gain city hall for David Dinkins. Now he was no Al Sharpton, the con artist who still does not apologize for the Tawana Brawley scam, I'll give him that.

RIP Ed Koch. He was a great Mayor, often very funny, and a perfect fit for NY. He had political foes as varied as Jesse Jackson and Rudy Guiliani.

Isn't that the munchkin from GH? She is trying to evoke a porn star vibe to compensate for the fact she looks 12. Perhaps there is a production of Lolita she might be good for.

Oh, Well Knots wasn't a public affairs show, but they did cover some topics like the kid having ADD or whatever it was he had and Abby's daughter doing drugs. Dallas and Dynasty never bothered with stuff like that.

I don't think you are correct on that last comment. I could swear there was a couple that moved into the street and they had a daughter and then the mother died in a car crash while Joe Cocker sang "you are so beautiful to me"

while I believe in life after love, I am partial to some of her oldies <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TOSZwEwl_1Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Is there anyone shocked that Speaker Boehner refused to allow a vote to send money to NY and NJ? The republican playbook and their hateful ways are a predictable as ever. If it was a southern state filled with republicans the House would have voted that money. NY and NJ votes to send the other states money but when it came time to help the victims of Sandy Republicans showed--once again--what a horrible disgusting group they are. If you told me Boehner and his crew said "&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] NY, they're democrats" I would believe it. <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="+id+" width="440" height="284" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab"><param name="movie" value="http://embed.crooksandliars.com/v/MjYzOTQtNjQ5Mzk?color=C93033" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://embed.crooksandliars.com/v/MjYzOTQtNjQ5Mzk?color=C93033" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="440" height="284" allowfullscreen="true" name="clembedMjYzOTQtNjQ5Mzk" align="middle" quality="high" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object>

Amy Locane was found guilty of vehicular homicide and facing 10 year in prison.

It was a great finale but I don't think the show has explained Michonne well enough to justify her OTT hatred of the governor. I have not read the comics but I have read they watered the governor down a lot trying to save the character and make him last, but as a consequence it sort of makes Michonne's hatred of him make almost no sense. Her gut tells her he is bad therefore she waits in his apartment to kill him? And really, she could tell the prison group about Andrea. I also read that the characters of Daryl and Merle are not in the comic, which is amazing because if you look at the last few episodes all they have really been about is setting up the Daryl and Merle reunion. There is a lot of action and this and that, but at the heart of it all is "what will happen when Daryl sees Merle?" That was the payoff for the whole thing, taking Glenn was just a means to get the show to Daryl and Merle. Besides Daryl and Merle are any of the other characters original to the TV show?

I think my favorite screwball comdies are Twentieth Century and The Awful Truth

I just got turned onto this show and watched the entire series this week. I have to say I was happy Dale died because he was just a nuisance. Shane had issues but I found him always right all the time in every debate, and the issue of saving the teenager's life was a perfect example. The entire first two seasons all their troubles would stem from Rick's good-natured decisions that put his own people in jeopardy. Season three is great too but I can understand why Andrea decided to stay. Michonne is ok, no great shakes because she is just needlessly full of attitude. There is no reason not to warn these people their enemy is Merle or that Andrea is alive. Great show.

The simpleton has an IQ of 156. Einstein's was 160 as a frame of reference. I would be curious to see Sarah Palin's.

They aren't even able to see that Abraham did not literally live for 900 years. The only picture they seem able to see is "The Ten Commandments" on ABC every easter.

Adventures Of Robin Hood is now online. http://retrofilms.in/index.php?productID=266 Just go to full screen mode.

I said this in this very forum a year or two back. The socialist hating, conservative states that despise the northeast and the so-callled liberal elites that live in Manhattan and Harvard, are actually charity cases that would starve if not for the people in Manhattan believing in helping those who need help. These selfish southerners, as represented by their odious congressmen, will now seek to block the federal government from sending money to Sandy ravaged NY, but they will keep their palms facing up to the sky waiting to catch every charity socialized dollar NY sends their way. I say we take republicans at their word and stop income redistribution. Let NY send $1 in for every $1 it gets back, and let the fundie, hick, backwoods south do the same. We shall see who starves first.
