I agree, but I don't know if Tyreese's fate on the show rests with those three. I do think he and Abraham probably fit that "popular comic character who struggles to fit in on the show" role. I think there's more potential with Tyreese. I don't know what one could do with Abraham. I'm glad they have moved on from him being an alpha male, but I just can't see him being around Rick or Daryl or Michonne. It seems like Abraham may just stay around because he's popular with comic fans, or because of the actor, but I just don't know where they can go with him.

I like Rosita mostly because I enjoy her relationships with some of the supporting players like Tara (or even Glenn), and she makes me see Abraham and Eugene as less cartoonish, but I'm not sure how I'll feel if or when she's back with the group.

What I like most about Tara is how she makes Glenn and Glenn/Maggie less dour. Silly little things like GREATM. I know it could become cloying, but in small doses it works. I also like that she is from such a different origin than most of the group.

I keep meaning to write a story where Sasha ends up seeing BOB from Twin Peaks (she isn't assaulted or anything). She has bad luck with Bobs.

I guess I just don't see Glenn or Maggie as dour. To me they've had tough times but they've always been united by each other and their love and their relationships with the group. But I like Tara.

Rosita, OTOH, just has a silly premise to begin with. The actress seems fine but when a slew of other female leads' futures are in doubt, from Carol to Sasha to Beth and so on, I would sooner see all of them than her. (I especially think Emily Kinney has really taken off this year.)

Dour may not be the right word, but Glenn, understandably, lost a lot of his humor after the second season. Tara sort of reconnects to that side of him.

One of the problems for me is that I've adapted so much to having the characters split in different groups that it's difficult to focus on how they'd all be together. For instance, I didn't care for Rosita with the larger group, but she's been one of my favorite parts of this DC roadtrip.

I would like to see more of Tara with Rick though.

Do you get the feeling they're going to pair Michonne with Gabriel? I get that vibe.

Tyler James Williams talks about GoT and Star Wars.

I think Rosita has been more interesting on this trip, but I prefer Glenn and Maggie with the main group - I think they're part of that. I do think the splitting-off has helped delineate some of the newer or supporting characters, especially Tara, Sasha and Bob last year and then Beth this year.

I have a sinking feeling they will do that - I mean, it would be fine, they're both excellent actors. But I think the real money is with Rick. Or a triangle! Let's not rule that out.

Oh boy, I just saw "Killer Within" and I'm stunned they actually killed off Lori.

I mean, I'm glad the baby wasn't still born, but a really selfish part of me was hoping it would be for the sake of that disturbingly cool scenario Lori speculated to Hershell might happen (the baby being dead inside of her & ripping through her as a walker. OMG, I need help)

They had Carl put his mother out of her misery by shooting her just like he did to Shane. That kid is going to be all kinds of f-cked up!!

^^Speaking of Hershell, maybe I missed something or will find out later, but I'm confused why his ass is still alive & well and acting normal after he clearly got bit. What's up with that? LOL. Again, maybe that's to come but for now I'm dumbfounded.

Andrea clearly wanting to stay in Woodbury a "few more days" so she can get a piece of the Governor's ass is beyooond ridic. She is clueless and horny as hell. Thank heavens for Michonne being there to balance things out. Loving her.

Sorry to see T-Dog (horrible, embarrassing name) go but he was becoming another Dale and I wasn't here for that. That was admirable what he did for Carol, and really I think he had been wanting to do that for a while. He was miserable & always the outcast, he would've never been able to enjoy himself even if a cure was found.

I hated the bitch and was glad to see her die. BYE HO!

I LOVE the governor. He makes for such a great villain and the actor plays him perfectly. I think there's something wrong with me bc I like the villains on this show more than the good guys...lol

LOL!

Oh, I'm loving the ghost appearances of Shane & Lori. When I saw Shane with the gun I was cheering. Damn he looked good and I was fooled. Please tell me that's not it?

I was LOL'ing at Rick seeing Lori in her wedding dress and Michonne looking at him from afar like WTF?? I'm digging these Rick hallucinations. They're very well done and fitting.

I so enjoy the 'Gov as well. He's great. The villains definitely outshine the good guys in this show

I'm going to look back @ what everyone here said during this time soon but so far I like the new peeps especially the father/daughter

i'm hoping Carl gets bit soon and no one does surgery on him to halt the spread. sorry.

Glen & Maggie are infinitely sweet & riveting. Glen's journey & development as a person has been remarkable

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense. 
    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.
