Thanks for posting, they just sprinkled in a few new snippets from the season. Glad to see my boo gets out of whatever predicament he's in. I need it to be Feb. already.

I am worried Rick's mental state, my poor baby is wreck at the moment which makes the group vulnerable to the Governor.

A look at the upcoming game centered on the Dixon brothers, with Michael Rooker and Norman Reedus being involved.

The footage looks like something I played 15 years ago, but it's just a glimpse.

^I was excited... until i clicked that link. Wow. That looks cheaper than an episode of Days!

It's very old school. You don't even hear sounds when the zombies bite it (no pun intended). I guess this isn't by the people who did the games that got such acclaim.

More not so thrilling reviews...

"Tell It To The Frogs"

Shane has a very nice ass.

I was very moved by the scene where Rick reunited with Carl and Lori. Andrew Lincoln was just incredible. Apparently Sarah Callies played that scene as if Lori wasn't sure if Rick was a walker, which is an...interesting choice.

I thought Lori was running too hot-and-cold with Shane but then I understood her anger more when she thought he'd lied to her about Rick being dead.

I had to laugh when Darryl's first scene was accompanied by a slightly awestruck closeup of Rick. I guess those Rick/Darryl OTP or bromance (not the same thing, of course) people enjoyed that. They seem to have taken a lot of care in the writing for Darryl early on, making sure he was not as racist as Merle (aside from the ugly comment to Glenn).

I could have done without Merle ranting and raving on the rooftop but I thought Michael Rooker did a good job.

The scene of everyone awkwardly trying to kill the zombie in the woods was a little odd, but I got the thematic point. The show's stunt coordinator played the zombie in that scene, as he also did in the scene where Amy gets bitten.

I liked the scene where the women were talking about being forced into "women's work", and ignoring that they had their own identities before the world ended. It was nice to actually get to hear Jacqui.

Shane gave Ed such a beating that I was surprised he wasn't even more seriously injured. He just went on and on, full force.

"Vatos"

I don't really buy Dale as the voice of reason and wise man of experience. Maybe it's the crazy eyes, I don't know. I would have preferred someone like Jim in that role.

Jim's dreams leading him to dig the graves for the attack that would soon happen...I don't know, I thought that was a little too clever, didn't quite get into it (especially the "It was my dream!" type dialogue at the end). But I quickly grew to care about Jim very deeply. His collapse over his family being devoured as he got away absolutely broke my heart. There are also people on the show who I just can't quite believe are surviving a zombie apocalypse. I completely believe it with him.

Andrea...eh. I like Amy, and while her relationship with Andrea is a little too much tell and not enough show, the actresses worked well together. I felt so terrible when she was eaten alive.

The whole story of Rick's morality and goodness being a fatal flaw was fascinating viewing. I didn't get all that much out of the Atlanta sequences, as everything up to the last stuff at the nursing home was amateurish and impossible to buy (Glenn apparently has super-healing powers to have zero aftereffects from being knocked around with a baseball bat), but I did like Darryl's freakout when he realized Merle was gone. That also led to the oft-quoted "Nobody can kill Merle but Merle" line.

The zombie attack back at camp was certainly scary as hell and nicely put together. Considering how little Morales has to do on the show, it was nice that they let him have so much airtime during those killing scenes. I guess that was a goodbye present.

One more month!

I don't know how I will last that long. Half-way into Revenge tonight, I started to hope that a zombie would pop up from behind the bushes and eat off someone's face just to spice things up.

Damn Ann, you got a TWD mind take over. Just watch more Deception and keep calm. Or marathon S 1-3 and by the time you finish it should be Feb.

LOL! So true. It happens whenever I watch a show I that I do not usually watch or like. Tonight it was worse because it was TWD night and its time slot. Justified will perk me up on Tuesday though.

AMC decided to release a promo which gives away a fairly big moment for upcoming episodes.

Carol is using Axel's dead body to try to shield herself from bullets.

AMC released a poster for TWD.

Great poster. Awww, my Rick. I hope that he digs out the Governor's other eye and lets the walkers eat the rest of him alive.

I have am still staying away from the promos. I am so proud of myself. Let us see how long I last.

Edited January 10, 201312 yr by Ann_SS

LMAO still Ann? Just give in. If you watch the promos Feb. 9 or the 10th I'll laugh.

Knowing me, I will probably end up doing just that. LOL! I cannot believe that we still have another month to wait. Oh well. I am doing my best.
