I'd hoped for a little more, but generally the midseason finales for TWD don't have a big boost, from what I can remember. They were lucky that the two Governor episodes didn't do more damage. In the past the midseason premieres have had a boost. We'll see.

A few more articles.

Gimple interview. Might be a little spoilery.

http://www.vulture.com/2013/12/walking-dead-postmortem-scott-gimple-governor-rick-tank.html

I was reading through the new Walking Dead magazine at the store, and they interviewed Gimple. He talked about how when he was 9 he planned to become a TV producer, and what he'd have to do to make it happen.

I didn't realize he wrote 18 Miles Out. That's one of my favorite episodes, mostly for the opening and closing shots of Rick looking at the walker as he drives by.

I thought the interview was okay. I usually like most of major plots that the story does, but I don't think that they made the right decision dragging out the Governor's story. Really his story was done last season, the attack on the prison should have been last season's finale. I also don't like the character study episodes that telegraph who is going to die next.

With three more regulars, we should have at least one more death by the end of this season. I think that we will see Morgan again. I would prefer that he joins the group. They can get rid of Bob.

I totally believe Darabont's claims. He is not the first creator/producer to be cheated by the networks. Plus, AMC is run by cheap dumbasses and scumbags. AMC has been in financial trouble for the last two or three years and it was made worse when it tried to take on the Dish Network. No doubt the settlement with Darabont will take yet another financial chunk out of AMC.

LOL! AMC is just poking itself in the eye with all these miserly decisions. Think of all the projects that are going elsewhere because producers want nothing to do with AMC. It such a coincidence that just a couple days somewhere online I was reading a financial blurb where two stockbrokers were debating whether investing AMC was a good move. The network has such a bad rep despite having the no. 1 scripted tv show.

    • TBH, I found Felicity's dialogue in those scenes where she encouraged Chad and Cat to admit their feelings for one another more offensive than Xander yelling (although both are bad).  And, I don't get why there is any question of Xander's behavior being offensive, given that he knew that Felicity deserved an apology. I like giving the character more to do, because there is a value in representing a person with a congenital disorder being employed, given that the unemployment rate in that community tops 83%.  I just hope they find a voice for the character that matches her functioning ability. As for Cat, I wonder if she is going to inherit any of Clyde's money?  And that was the reason for the phone call.  I know he's not dead, but he could have named her family as the beneficiary of some insurance policy if he were to be incapacitated.  And the call could have been an attorney trying to reach her to give her money.
    • Oh you may have been watching the Teresa/Tom storyline...or "Terry the tumor" as she was called.
    • Are these new?! Damn, he is in the prime of his life. 
    • He is a 40 year old large grown man "raising his voice" and calling a teenage girl "careless".  That's inappropriate.  I am not going to argue at the octave of his voice although I would consider it yelling.  Felicity was visibly upset.  She also has special needs, but it would be wrong to do that to anyone in general.  Xander was out of line.  He didn't immediately apologize or admit he was wrong until Princess Sarah was okay.  Idk, go find your wife's epipen instead of berating a young girl.  Or, you know, Sarah could have asked if there was any pistachio in her scone as a pre-caution.  That's how most people with allergies that severe order things. I do think this story or plot point is silly, but acting like Xander did nothing wrong is just strange.  Even if Felicity DID do something wrong was he just going to continue to go on and on while his wife was going into shock?  That's the proper reaction lol.
    • I didn't get that so far so I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever pick back up.  I must have chosen bad episodes because what I saw had some really bad Irish accents from supporting/day players. They were hard to get through and I just didn't have the patience to deal with them. I don't think these accents would be allowed to go through today. I assume these accents were ironed out as the show went on--reminded me of Deas's terrible accent on GL that was dropped because it was so bad.

    • It's shoddy journalism. Pretty much says all you need to know about Parade as a source.  
    • It could still be possible.  Ashley could know who her dad is, but her mother stating that her father was a ruthless man so she opted to listen to her mom and kept her distance. It also could be a change in storyline direction since we're now approaching the period of episodes being filmed when the show debuted. The actress playing Ashley posted an IG two weeks ago with her saying she got to work with new characters and old time favorites.  So I do wonder if some new details will emerge between Episode 51 and whatever she was filming at the end of April.
    • He didn't scream. He accused her of being careless in a slightly raised voice. Then he immediately admitted he had overreacted.
