I think Carol's a real survivor and a very strong person, but the whole Chris Jericho fanfic of Carol riding in to save the day has never quite worked for me. Carol tends to avoid direct confrontation if she can. She wanted to leave rather than deal with Rick at the end of season 2. She went to Rick instead of Tyreese about the murders. She accepted her banishment. It makes sense, given her history, but it means that she's generally not going to be in there to go Rambo.

The first time I've seen Carol directly confront a situation was when she told Tyreese about Karen and David. I think that may show where she's heading, and she will become more upfront, but I don't think that's where she's been up to this point.

Carol and Big Moose cannot go in there and do what a sword wielding bad ass and a cross bow bearing nothing to lose pythons made of steel bad ass could not do.

Gimple cracks me up.

Another one (this is from right after the finale but he talks a little about setting up the details of the Lizzie story).

This is from a few days ago.

No one wants The Walking Dead to last for 10 years.

I always see this headline whenever a show is at the peak of its success. This show has a finite premise, it needs to end in the next 2-3 seasons.

I don't think it will last for 10 years either - I think 6 or 7 at the most. That's just sort of an open-ended answer, which I prefer to the "I have a plan" type answers that often end in show collapsing on their own muddled pomposity.

Oh hi there.... The Walking Dead sure does love The Wire alum... newest casting!

I haven't seen him since Oz, where he played an unplayable role (the inept son of the warden, who kept making bigger and bigger mistakes and being isolated as a result). At first I didn't like his work, and then I realized that I wasn't supposed to like him, so I watched again and I was more impressed.

Gilliam also had one of the more memorable "insert nudity here" sequences I've ever seen on pay cable, where he was annoyed at the attitude some of the other guards were giving him and proceeded to put them in their place by taking off his towel (to change) and letting them see what a big dick he had.

Oz was very fond of dick scenes, it must be said.

He wasn't the son of the warden, he was the son of a CO but Warden Glenn treated him like a son since his dad was killed while they worked at Oz.

Thanks. Well, you have a better memory than me. I think I last watched those about 13 years ago.

LOL, I am probably marginaly better since I spelled Glynn's name wrong. FML! OH, I was a huuuuuge fan and watched whenever HBO would air it or show it on On Demand. I loathed his character.

Seth Gilliam was one of my favorite performers with one of my most favorite characters on The Wire - and I said that about both Chad Coleman and Larry Gilliard too, but it's especially true of SG. They were all fantastic on the show. And I am so glad to see my Carver again.

I liked Carver until he started doing what his POS partner was doing but he was still superior to said partner. I don't even remember his name.

Carver didn't do it like Herc!

That was his name, I wasn't caeibg tii much to look him up and his Entourage character name kept popping up in my head.
