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! 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.

I don't t think they are deliberately keeping blacks out of the show but I do think up until Michonne came on, they really didn't give or invest much in any of the other black characters. That's going to change with Tyrese , who IMO has already gotten more focus than T-Dog ever did. Maybe the complaints have resonated with someone with the show.

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.

During the FB chat, here is what one person had to say:

"Jen Stewart Die Hard

1h

Come on, AMC, there CAN be more than one black guy"!

It's very noticable that one has to exit before the other can enter. I'm hoping we can have Michonne and Tyreese's daughter.

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.

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.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Chris B · Posted

      I had hoped they'd pair her with Michael Knight. They had a nice chemistry and he's been one of the better random castings on GH. When it comes to Gio, I found the scenes with Dante to be overdone. It's obvious they're trying to set up conflict for the reveal but I don't think that was needed. It actually made me less excited for the reveal and killed any interest I had in Dante and Gio forming a bond.

      He also lost the woman he was going to marry, under very sudden circumstances. They are probably surprised Rena has wanted to stay. I think Lois works OK in her current capacity, if they allowed her to have more of a point of view, a bit more life of her own, and not just the reason for Gio's paternity being hidden. The character always felt very thin to me and on paper this dynamic with Tracy, Brook Lyn, Gio, visits from Gloria could be better for her than how overly centered she was on the canvas the first time around. But as of now she could be better used.  Somehow the show that was revived due to supercouples seems completely alien to romance. The older cast has this hardest but even with tiers who are younger or middle-aged, they've really dragged their feet about Liz and Lucky, they have contorted themselves in trying to figure out how to pair a man with Joss, Kai and Trina barely get focus...and others I struggle to remember. They also blew up Sasha/Cody so now I guess we're meant to be waiting to see if she finds true love with Jason? The show is so hesitant and when you are this hesitant it means you are incapable of writing romance.

      I agree.  Rena doesn't seem to mind the lighter workload and seems happy though. Strangely, a lot of the veteran cast are without viable love interests-Sonny, Nina, Lois, Jason, Tracy, Alexis, Carly (Brennan doesn't count).  The show lacks serious interest in romance.

      I just can't wait until next week when we can go back to a full weeks worth of episodes. 3 episodes and a mid-week gap has been so difficult to deal with, especially in light of how good the show is.

      I always hoped they'd change Parker's paternity back to Phillip.  I guess it doesn't matter since Chloe is off the show currently.  I don't recall Holly or Maggie mentioning Parker, so it's not they are close to him.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      I’ve reached the summer of 1998.  Until now, my impression has been that the show has steadily improved since the great quality dip of 1994, reaching as high as 8/10 in 1997. Sure, I could complain about a few things in 1997 (Claudia got wasted after her initial storyline; Thorne’s feelings for Taylor were a bit too sudden; the storyline where Sheila lived with James and Maggie while pregnant got rather boring; Mike periodically revisiting Sheila despite being on the run from authorities), but overall it was a very strong year.  I liked the Thorne/Taylor/Ridge triangle, the mystery plot about who shot Grant, the sham wedding to trap Sheila, Stephanie/Eric/Lauren, and Clarke manipulating his way back to working at Forrester. I even liked the Greenland storyline with Eric/Lauren/Rush, although I had expected to hate it. Maybe 1996 tops 1997 in raw soapy excitement (especially as Sheila got a chance to interact with a larger canvas of characters), but certain problems with overall storyline cohesion puts it somewhat below 1997 for me. Unfortunately, early 1998 has turned out to be a bit of a speedbump, perhaps on par with 1995 levels of quality: - Maggie’s character really got trashed after James left her to be with Sheila, and the early 1998 storylines where she imprisoned Sheila in the house from Psycho, or installed those wires and mikes and such in her house to make her think she’s going crazy, were total GARBAGE. So much so that the latter storyline (and Maggie with it) pretty much disappeared into a limbo.  - I have mixed feelings about the twins plotline with Lauren. No way did Rush survive being shot with a crossbow through the chest, and the romance between Lauren and Rush’s good twin brother Johnny was rather dry to me. I did however enjoy the camp aspect of Rush taking his brother’s place to be with Lauren, and Eric rescuing her. But it doesn’t appear like Bell cared too much about the Johnny/Lauren romance beyond the twin storyline gimmick, and it too disappeared in an unsatisfactory manner (come on, why not hire Johnny’s actor for just 5 more episodes for an arc where he realizes Lauren is not over Eric, or JUST SOMETHING?) - Clarke wormed his way back to FC in late 1997, which had exciting storytelling potential, but then he disappeared almost entirely. Sad to see my favorite character wasted in this manner. Does he get anything interesting to do between now and the Morgan saga of 2000-2001? - The Thomas saga was entertaining in 1997, but it got stretched out too much, and made some of early 1998 tiresome, with Ridge having to decide YET AGAIN which woman he wants to be with. On the plus side, I like the plotline of Thorne being neighbors with Macy and Grant, and we’ve finally been introduced to the SORASed Rick/Amber/CJ crowd. The Stephanie/James/Sheila triangle is also starting, and it makes me excited (I remember seeing some if it in my childhood). I know Sheila, Grant, and James are all leaving soon, which I honestly kind of dread - between them and Clarke’s near-absence, it feels like herd is going to get culled too much in the near future. But I know there’s the familiar 1999-2002 to look forward to.

      LOL - this is a perfect description, and that's what I loved about it! May be a bit campy, but it immediately caught my attention in a good way.  I'm not familiar with the Fishing Trip storyline, I'll have to look that up. I've noticed that about Josh, which has made him less attractive to me overall. He just yells a lot when he's not happy. Wow, Reva was married to HB!  LOL - "Always... eventually, and again"

      I love your ideas. I would love to see Jack grown up this confused unhinged individual. He should hold a grudge against both Brooke and Taylor.
