**I shall start out this week’s recap with ground rules about the comments section. You may read the graphic novels and that’s cool, however, not everyone reads them. Do not share what you know about the novels in the comments. It’s quite possible that the novels and TV series not follow one another at all (like Dexter – the books and TV show have hardly any parallels), but it’s possible they do. For the sake of keeping all heads cool, please don’t mention them. Kisses!!**
We can’t start a really good episode without gratuitous consuming of raw innards by walkers. But wait! It’s a trap!
Someone is leading the walkers to eat what appears to be a heart stuffed with a grenade. Smart, but seems like overkill a bit. I mean, 1 -2 zombies with a grenade? Maybe this is the person who was watching our dear Carol.
Glenn and Maggie have turned the guard tower into their own personal shag pad. Don’t go in there without a mop and some Lysol.
The two prisoners they left alive, Oscar and Cooter, come out to see what the deal is. They’re none too happy with the setup. Rick tries to be Mr. Hardass, but we know he’ll crack. Oscar seems to smell this about our dear Rick, because he leads into a spiel about watching their friends helplessly slaughtered by armed guards. When Rick gets ready to crack, he looks back at Daryl (who I shall now refer to as “Hotstuff”) who shakes his head. Leave it to Hotstuff to keep his wits about him. Hotstuff explains to a wavering T-Dogg that he know guys like that and could easily have been in there with them when this whole zombie thing went down. T-Dogg takes that as a sign of agreement, but instead Hotstuff uses this as fodder to keep them away.
Rick knows their kind, too, being a cop and all. T-Dogg, however, is not cool with this treatment of his fellow man. Well, T-Dogg, that’s why you’ll die first. You care too much. I’d die first, too.
Back at the fort surrounded by giant tires that tend to always make their superfluous appearance in a post-apocalyptic world, M is checking out bullet holes in the military vehicles. The Gub’ner tries to convince Lady M that the soldiers were killed by walkers who use guns, but Lady M’s not biting. Good for her – thinking with her head and not her vagina.
Cooter tries to friend-up with Daryl over his SS-chopper, but Hotstuff is too cool for that. The tough crew heads out and leaves the puss crew back at the prison. That means we get to see everyone’s favorite, Olive Oyl, and her stupid hat-wearin’ kid. Hershel is looking fairly good for an old man with his leg bit off. Hopefully, he’ll be given a chance to continue being a contributing member of the crew.
Oh, Sweetie… You have that pointed the wrong way.

Whew! That was one of the greatest scenes I’ve ever seen on television. What made it even better was when it became clear they were killing off the character at long last.
I was disappointed the baby didn’t turn out to be a zombie, mostly because the whole idea that anyone would even consider bringing a baby into that world was preposterous in the first place (especially when there was plenty of Plan B available). And now we’re going to be saddled with a whole “how we gonna take care of the baby” storyline. That’s really going to suck.
But I knew right away they’d kill off T-dogg, since all of a sudden he had more dialogue in this episode than he’s had in two entire seasons.
Actually the Governor’s comment was about taking the women to Augusta and letting them play golf, as that would be a first…since Augusta is still stuck back in the 1800s and doesn’t allow women. You’ll note it was Merle who didn’t want to mess with “tradition.”
Extremely weak recap for the best episode in the history of the series. I see recaps for Real Housewives of NJ for 10 pages and four is the best possible here? No explanation for the lack of ANY recap last week either. If you hate the show, find someone else to write these–the scene with Rick finding out about Lori’s death was Emmy-worthy.
Cattyfan – it is a private club and unfortunately they now do allow women.
@Blahblahblah – Sorry for you not liking my recap. If you want to write them, have at it. I apologize for last week’s lack – I had no idea my week was going to wind up the way it did. Next time, I’ll try to get backup as soon as I realize I won’t be able to do a full one.
It’s funny…when I log in, the site insists on putting in caps both the “C” and the “F” in my name. I have no idea why.
labowner…didn’t know Augusta had finally gone PC. I wasn’t commening on the rightness or wrongness, (although it seems odd to bar women from a sport that is non-contact.) Just putting the Governor’s comment into context.
As much as I’m not a Lori fan, I found her death sad. Now Rick will have no resolution to his conflict, and Carl will grow up with no mom at all, as will the new baby.
Poor T-Dogg. He’ll be missed.
Damn, TDogg getting his throat ripped out was nuts…and Lori’s C-Section scene made me actually cringe and look away!!!! Then I almost barfed! it was AWESOME!
Looking forward to seeing where this will all go. How are they gonna feed Shane Jr? Will Carl become completely messed up? Will Andrea do the Gub’Ner?!?!
This was far more entertaining than last night’s Dexter (which was luuuuuuuuuh-ame)
@itchy – I am also questioning the decision to bring a baby into the zombie world. I am loving this season so much though, so I’m hoping they will write a good storyline to that crazy idea.
My husband was asking why I was crying at a zombie show (he just doesn’t “get” TWD… or Seinfeld for that matter – 2 things I found out AFTER I married him…but I digress) but that whole scene with Lori and Carl was just so devastating. As much as I didn’t like Lori, I completely forgot about that fact as I watched the horrifying scene unfold. Having a son of my own didn’t help matters, but honestly the acting and writing for this season has blown me away. I can’t go so far as to say I’m putting TWD ahead of Breaking Bad and Mad Men, but AMC sure knows what they are doing!
I feel like TWD writers are doing all they can to make up for Season 2 – and so far it’s working for me!
Great recap. i could’t believe that I got teary eyed over Laurie dying, but I think it’s because I have a kid. Dying parents leaving there kids behind always gets me. I agree that if blhblahblah doesnt like the recaps, they need to quit reading thm or write them themselves.
I’m in the minority…I had no problem with Season two. Sometimes character development is enough.
1st of all, huge thank u for trying to implement some rules regarding spoilers for the show. I really appreciate it.
Your recap was a little short, but i think you covered all the important things that happened quite well. Lets not forget that Real Housewives… And shows like it tend to go long because of all the snarky things a recapper can go off on. TWD is quite different. However, if in the future you decide to devote more pages to Andrea’s idiocy, or Darryl’s hotness, I won’t complain.
I swear, SB, you are my WD soulmate. I agree with you about everything: T-Dog’s demise, Andrea being a complete moron, and our absolute hatred of Laurie. I did not think they’d kill her off so soon, so I was pleasantly surprised. I was only sad for Carl and Rick, and how her death would affect the group. But even as she died, she pissed me off. She said something about how her life didn’t matter, just that the baby lived. How does that make any sense in a zombie-apocalyptic world? Not only are 2 people losing someone important to them (I’ll argue both would have rather had Lori live than the baby), but the baby has no mother, no breast milk or formula, and is now a huge liability to the group (that MASH scene keeps coming to mind). And I’m sure the group is happy about trading an able bodied adult women for a newborn. At least we get another token black guy to replace T-Dog.
Couldn’t shed a tear for Lori’s death. I am glad they finally killed off the character. I wished reallyyyyy hard that Lori would come back as a zombie and bite Carl.
That being said, no kid should ever have to shoot their parent. Way to stick to the pact, Carl.
Funniest line of the recap: Olive’s newest accessory is an outie bellybutton taped to the front of her droopy melon gut.
I rather enjoyed the recap. Thanks for posting it!
CattyFan- in hindsight, season 2 had a lot of good stuff. But watching it at the time, for me, was extremely taxing. I think splitting the season was a big part of that, but something else that bugged was that I couldn’t relate or understand many decisions made by the characters. With exception of Lori and Andrea, I’ve been behind most actions by the cast thus far. S2 was also uneven, some good eps, some not so good, and a couple great ones.
I’m really looking forward to Merle finding the group, if it happens. I’m sure he’s resentful about Rick locking him up on the roof, but now Darryl and Rick are BFF. It will be interesting if they follow that storyline through.
I am racking my brain to think of who broke into the prison! When we saw the person watching Carol, I thought I was Merle, but he hasn’t left the compound. Hm.
I don’t feel like Merle wants to kill Darryl. Why would he go through all of that danger just to kill him?
Not to take away from the moment, but did anyone else think of Terms of Endearment during Lori’s last scene with Carl?
Plockness, it was Andrew (the prisioner) who was watching Carol. He was also the one who broke the locks and let the walkers in.
And — SB you are SO right about Andrea’s curls. Like Melissa’s bob, it seems one’s hair has the power to form its own salon-style shapes when zombies are after one. Unless one is not meant to be a sexy character, in which case it never quite outgrows its Evangelical Christian crew cut.
That kid Carl has killed more of his own people then any of the Dead and needs a better hat. I thought recap was good easy to read and very witty. Plus up quick so thanks
What a terrible and great episode that was. I was actually almost starting to like…well, not exactly like, but not hate Lori recently. I’ve always like the actress that played her and hoped they’d make the character a little less annoying, but now my hopes are dashed. Poor Lori, and Poor Carl, and Poor Rick! That’s what Rick gets for leaving a bad guy unkilled, though. If he hasn’t learned that lesson by now, he never will.
T-Dog, dammit, why did you have to go and die just when you were starting to get some lines!?!?! That was messed up. And they’re apparently replacing T-Dog with that prisoner, because American TV rules say you can only have one decent black man appearing on a series at a time. Now I’m worried for Michonne, too…and not just worried that dumbass Andrea will get her killed because of her idiotic need to flirt with dangerous lunatics either.
What’s the baby gonna be named…any guesses?
Dale T-Dog Grimes.
I’m pretty sure Lori was beyond the window for Plan B when she figured out she was pregnant. Once you are far enough along to have symptoms or show a positive pregnancy test, you’re way beyond the time frame for Plan B. Those pills she swallowed and threw up wouldn’t have done shit to the baby. I always wondered why she didn’t have them raid the pharmacy for the actual abortion pill (the prescription ones doctors use to induce medical abortions). Do they keep that at pharmacies or is that a doctor’s office only thing?
Someone on another website mentioned the fact that she’s been pregnant for 8-9 months and no one has thought to pick up some supplies along the way? I mean they had to have seen stores or houses they could have looked for formula, diapers, etc.
Yes, but, the series offered Plan B as a possibility, so it’s therefore possible in that reality (where everyone magically gets perfect shots to the head as well). We are speaking of a post-Zombocalyptic reality, after all.
And yeah, they knew they were going to have a baby on their hands – no one thought of stocking up on formula? I guess they were counting too much on Lori’s teats for that part. My immediate thought, however, was what they were going to do for diapers.
As for season 2… no. ‘Character development’ just isn’t a good enough excuse for producing such a drag-ass season (especially after the first season, especially since a) half the characters developed are going to get killed off anyway and b) the developed character is just as likely to undergo a sudden and complete personality shift as it suits the writers’ needs.
So what we’re left with are dozens of tediously long scenes of Lori and Rick discussing their marriage…
I’m just afraid this season is going to get bogged down into multiple episodes of these people scampering through the darkened corridors of the prison again and again. Not to mention the way the momentum suddenly comes to a stop everytime they switch to the Guv’nor and his village.
Speaking of which: you’d think by now they’d have some kind of drill for when the group is suddenly confronted by zombies so that they don’t all get split off and sent into different directions.
Oh, and I’m glad I didn’t have to wade through 10 pages of recap. That’s okay when there’s lots of photos, I suppose. But I think this recap was just the right size.
Aaaargh, T-Dog! I KNEW when the big black prisoner got more lines than him that his clock was ticking. Guess they had to slip in a replacement token before knocking off the original token, eh? I’m struggling to come up with any reason other than good ol’ TV racism for the fact they offed a main character who was loved by fans so gruesomely, without ever giving him a back story or even using his real name. Pathetic!
I too was unmoved by Lori’s death, although Rick’s reaction was pretty damn sad. It was STUPID of her to try to carry a baby to term in that situation, let alone sacrifice herself to save the baby when it has no mother, no food or diapers, and its cries will attract walkers. It’s just a big ol’ anchor on the group, let alone unfair to the baby to be born into such an f’ed up situation, plus I’m not really going to enjoy the long “we need to keep the baby alive” subplot that will inevitably follow. I just don’t think that baby needs to be around. Sorry, I’m a terrible person.
Did Andrea suffer brain damage from her fever or something? Michonne’s badassery has been keeping her alive for nearly a year, and she’s just going to brush off all her valid concerns and put them both in danger for a bit of dong? Pretty easy solution, bang your current psychopathic crush and then grab your swords and MOVE ON. Not only that, but she’s going to give Merle a roadmap to people he wants to kill – people who also kept her alive for a long ass time? I’m starting to see a pattern here.
What exactly do you want, itchy? All zombie attacks? If we never get to know the people being attacked, it wouldn’t be very interesting.
As for Lori, what choice did she have. She was bleeding out. They could A.) take the baby and keep the baby alive or B.) let BOTH mother and child die. There was no C.) save Lori but not the baby, because they were not in a hospital setting.
I didn’t find season 2 to be “drag-ass.” Shane slowly turned into a nutball. Carl got shot. Otis got sacrificed. Andrea shot Darryl. They had to face a sadly dead Sophia. Dale was ripped apart. Shane turned into a zombie. And the farm was destroyed. Seemed pretty interesting to me. I prefer that to end-to-end zombie attacks with no impact.
I’m looking for a middle ground between the two — Season 1 was a good example of this. Season 3 has been great so far — obviously they learned their lesson from last year.
In any event, since this is a Zombocalypse, I’m more interested in peoples’ reaction to the threat and the need to survive than in who screwed who and is having who else’s kid. I realize there’s a need for a certain amount of downtime/exposition — but Season 2 went way overboard with the downtime.
But the real problem with Season 2 (and the show in general) is that the writing is awful — simply lousy. Full of plot holes and incongruities and cardboard cartoon characters who barely exist as television characters much less as believable people. The only reason why this show succeeds at all is because of some great action sequences and especially some awesome makeup and special effects. So yeah, there’s my real complaint with season 2.
Imagine how amazing this series would be if it had a writing team on par with Mad Men!
Lurker – Thanks! I don’t know why I didn’t think of him. Glad he’s gone. He tried to kill my man.
I think Carol is still alive. Thoughts?
Also, I liked season 2. There were def. some moments that lagged, but I didn’t mind the character development…mostly b/c I liked the characters.
Another question. When the guys found T-Dog, they didn’t stab/shoot/ax him in the head. Whyyyy? Was he just too eaten up to reanimate as a zombie?
Just another one of the many plot holes in this zombie universe. Let’s just assume the zombies eat the brain first of all. Because otherwise, yes, anything dead should come back almost immediately as a zombie.
“Cooze”? Really? Do you write recaps for literotica.com too? Super classy.
Ugh, that’s really the only thing that bothers me about this show. Can’t a sista get a definitive set of rules regarding zombies??
plockeness monster…I still wonder why zombies are driven to eat AT ALL. They don’t need the sustenance, and have no way to digest it. Where does it all go? None of them are all bloated with undigested meals, and I haven’t noticed any pot-a-potties for zombies, so what’s the deal?
Good question, Catty. I just assumed they had a thirst for blood and innards. Maybe it’s fat free??
Actually, in some zombie universes, zombies do indeed starve to death — albeit very slowly — if they don’t feed.
And if they weren’t dead human beings coming back to feed on live human beings, well, then, they wouldn’t be zombies!
Good point about the digestive process – I’ve always imagined the zombocalypse as one very smelly place.
Well, at least most of the women got to have great hair this show. One had to die, but still, great hair.
So, did Carol get eaten or is she hiding somewhere in the prison? Hope Hotstuff doesn’t get too lonely without her. Norman Reedus is the real reason I watch this show but don’t tell Mr. timgunnssister.
Two episodes ago, the creepy doctor working w/ the governor, said that Michonne’s pack mules were starved and lost the taste for blood.
One reason I cried about Lorie dying was when she was talking to Carl. I have a son and I’d be a mess if I had to die in front of him….knowing that someone would have to shoot me after I died. Poor Carl. He was so annoying last season and a little this season, but my heart broke for him this episode. That aside, did anyone notice and kind of admire how cool and calm he was during the whole thing?
The other reason I cried was because poor Maggie was a mess about it. But when Rick found out….and figured out that Carl shot his mom??? Oh my goooodness did I bawl. I love me some badass Rick, so his breakdown was horrible.
Poor T-dog. I hope that Carol’s still alive after that scrifice, even if he was going to die anyway.
Hershel makes me happy. It’s what I imagine Mr. Yeknom to be like if he were old in the zombie apocolypse…though hopefully w/2 legs. Just saying.
….siiiigh Daryl. That’s all I have to say about that.
Andrea is getting on my nerves again. Love that Michonne isn’t falling for any or the govenor’s BS.
@maryedith….I didn’t think that til now!
Lady they are in the South. No way would a backwards Georgia pharmacy carry RU-486.
SugarBush, meant to tell you I love the title of the recap!!!
Was anyone else cracking up when Darryl was creeping up sideways when the prison guy was holding the gun on Rick? Just the way he was side stepping and the way he was holding his fists like he was going to go all high karate on the guy made me giggle.
I loved the second season too, but I watched season one and two right before season three started so I wasn’t watching them with a week between episodes. I may have had a different opinion then.
@ Featherhead – I noticed that, but he had an arrow in his hand. He was going to stab him once he felt that he was a threat. But I see how you’d be amused.
And seriously – you people are heartless, lol. I didn’t like Lori either, and her disappearing from the show was preferable. However, once she did die, and died like THAT, in front of her son and left behind a newborn and a husband who was pissed at her, but still loved her, probably feeling like this whole thing was his fault (because he didn’t kill Andrew when he had the chance) was more than heart breaking, but gut wrenching. Perhaps I’m too empathetic, I was bawling my freakin’ eyes out, and watching it a second time didn’t help much. Gosh, I’m still depressed thinking about it.
T-Dog…yeah, that was depressing as well. But at least he was awarded a ‘good’ death.
Worst…..recap……ever! If you hate this show so much don’t recap it…..it wasn’t snarky/funny…it was mean and ugly. Plus there were soooo many things that happened that you skimmed over…
SB: loved the recap…COOZE, perfect hair and all. Besides, someone was offended by the word \COOZE\ in a show where a man literally has his throat torn off, tendons flapping, artery spurting, when a ZOMBIE used its plaque plagued teeth (cuz all zombies, even newly turned, seem to need serious oral hygiene)to tear it off! (Seriously, lol!).
I think carol alive. Just cuz. Rick’s breakdown scene got me, Carl is creepy and.Sorry, little dudette, but your colicky cries will be the actual death du jour. I’d vote her off the island.
And as soon as TDogg said 3 lines, I looked at Mr. Katie and said, \he went over the line quota for horror movies for non-whites.\
Of course Carol’s still alive. They’re going to spend the rest of the season looking for her. Only to discover her locked in a room full of zombies and that she’d been dead all along.
Hope I didn’t spoil season two for everyone. ;-D
I propose Sugarbush tries to work the word \COOZE\ into every single recap, if only to troll people who get offended by recappers using semi-naughty words during a show that involves people being gorily murdered and eaten alive by zombies.
Cooze. Cuz I’m classy, too.
Hey, I have an idea. I propose that we use the word cooze as a general all purpose word, the way the smurfs use smurf. Sort of like, Did you see what Papa Cooze was wearing today? It was so coozey!
Good morning, Coozers!
You know what the great thing about freedom is, you have a choice whether or not to read this recap. If you don’t like it, quietly leave…and keep the negativity to yourself.
@Incognito – If you think that I was mean and ugly about people who don’t exist, I suggest you don’t read any of the recaps on this site for the reality shows. I’m pretty sure I’m well within my rights to hate a character on a television show, but you won’t have to worry anymore, because SHE’S DEAD!
I think you may also be blahlblahblah, because you both seem to have a feeling I hate this show, which I don’t.
Also, I use the word “cooze” so I have other words to use than “vagina”. I could also use taco, snizz, vag, clam, roast beef curtain, pussy, puss, moose knuckle, chuckie, bearded clam, axe wound, slit, twat, etc. The list goes on and on. Choose the word you’d rather I use and I’ll be sure to include it in all of the subsequent recaps.
To my true Gasmii – Thank you. I love you all!
You missed Hines Ward: http://theclicker.today.com/_news/2012/11/06/14949435-hines-ward-was-a-rotting-zombie-on-walking-dead?lite
@Sugarbush – I vote we, from this moment on, use MicRae instead of cooze. Although, I was partial to “roast beef curtain”, myself.
I can’t beleive Maggie let Carl shoot his mother. That’s shameful. Poor boy has to see that vision every time he closes his eyes. A Guvner in the making?
Here is a partial list from Urban Dictionary -

So many to choose from…
Wait, what does “Sugarbush” stand for it not another euphemism for Vagina?
I hope Carol is alive, that way she may be able to become Carl’s baby sissy’s wet nurse.. like in them olden days
I have a feeling Carol’s boobs are as dried up as the Sahara.
well, what a lot to take in! I always say, \You said cooze!!!\ when I see that word. I never think to use it, but I do find it rather unflattering, not that I’m offended! I don’t think I would use it to describe a mom’s gateway in childbirth tho, it’s more dirty . . . is it me!? I actually prefer cooze to refer to some jerk! It would be hard to offend me . .
I was thinking about how people would react to the OO (love that!) dying, when she is so hated. I felt a little sad, esp for her plight, knowing her kid was already screwed up, and now doing this to him. Would have been worse for him if she killed the baby to live tho . . . anyone!?
I did think of terms of endearment, and that wooden kid of hers, and when Shirley slapped the kid and he started crying. That made me bawl, but somehow, this carl kid gives me the creeps . . . I was sad, but not weepy.
I just think this is the best TV show ever, seriously, and this season is rocking!!! I liked that summary of season two, made it seem better in retrospect, but I remember sighing a lot watching that. It certainly ramped up in the end. I don’t see Mad Men as better, but I’ve only seen the last season . . . maybe I just don’t get it! I love the dire, survivalist stuff on this show, and the tremendous and seamless acting!!! Everybody brought their A game here.
INTENSE!!! I say, just amazing!!!
And with all that said, I rue the baby being born. I wish it had been a zombie baby too . . . what dark hearts this show is spreading!!! A zombie baby would have been sooooo creeepy, on top of all that drama!!!
a zombie baby would have been creepy, but also awesome.
@yeknom, maybe it’s not too late . . . maybe it will still happen . . .
Also, I had no idea who that prisoner was, Andrew . . . and I think I have a good memory . . . sigh . . .
Judd – I didn’t remember Andrew either!! Don’t worry.
@juddfan One can only hope!
I wanted a zombie baby, too, if only because babies on my favorite shows always seem to drag the story down. I didn’t like Lori but I still cried. This is my favorite show on TV right now.
Yeah, babies ruined Friends. Now the thing’s going to destroy The Walking Dead. Hey, holdonnaminit… babies ARE zombies!
Hey, this baby could still be a zombie or perhaps some evolved form of zombie. That could be cool.
And I still loathe Andreas character. She’s just so easy.
IronE Singleton (T-Dog) was on Talking Dead and he really seemed moved over his huge fan support. It was interesting when he was talking about how all the cast gathers around to watch an actor shoot his or hers last scene when they are leaving the show..(usually through being munched on) I will miss his character.
I laughed Sugarbush when you mentioned Hershel perfectly fitted crutches ! Plus he had been at death’s door and his first time on his foot he was walking/running and shoving walkers like a pro! wow….that is one tough ole’ bird! I’ve got my fingers crossed for zombie baby too! Not one single item for a baby they knew was coming for 7 months??? How long can a newborn survive with no milk/formula???
Well, you know the writers have to keep the thing alive for at least six or seven months, until it’s learned how to crawl….
Of course, since it wouldn’t have teeth yet, it’d be hilarious to watch it go at someone’s leg.
let’s see Herschel put a crutch through a walker’s eye.
I’m sorry if this has been discussed and I missed it. I notice they are in the heat of the south, yet no mosquitoes? Wouldn’t mosquitoes be able to carry the virus from person to person ala west nile?
I love that Hershel has a ponytail now.
Yeah, Hershel’s looking badass, I noticed that too.
All of you minus the naysayers rock. The comments and recap were cracking me up!
I do think Carol is still alive. They did not show her die so she is hiding out somewhere. Daryl will have to come rescue her and then they will have dirty reunion sex. Hot. At least he is hot. I respect Carol having needs too. Might as well make the most of it folks.
Merle I think wants to maybe get revenge on Rick and others but hopes to get his brother back. You know how those backwood folks are about Fambly.
I also was pretty pissed Maggie did not hand the baby to Carl and put Lori down. I was like WTF!? about that. Don’t make him shoot his own mom after he just watched her get cut open and die in front of him! I was not sad about her death, but it did hurt me a little to watch Rick’s reaction. That was some Emmy worthy acting with him right there.
RIP T Dog. You were loved. At least he got to die a good death. Also Hershel is one sexy older man lately. If I was in my 60s I would be all about it. He looked badass on those crutches with his slicked back hair.
Yeah stupid as fuck to not be having formula as a back up. Diapers can be made from anything so that is not as big of a deal. But formula is a necessity. Especially when they knew there was a chance of Lori dying during birth. Dumbasses. All I can guess is maybe they never found any but still look harder!
Now I get to bring up my zombie baby defense plan. You have to gag the baby. I know its horrible, but the only way. Now if they are safe in the prison it should be fine. Keep the baby inside so its cries don’t attract walkers. But if you have to travel or hide, you must gag the baby. No other way. Its cruel but letting them get ate by zombies is more cruel. I have discussed this with my husband and if the zombies come, we are gagging our 5 year olds. Would not think twice about it. They can’t be making noise when we are on the run. It won’t kill them, but it will be unpleasant for them.
@April “but letting them get ate by zombies is more cruel” That made me laugh at loud! lol You’re right, though. Having them be zombie chow would be much more cruel.
I have no idea how they plan on keeping that baby quiet. Maybe let Daryl hold her all the time. She seemed to settle down when he held her. Smart baby. I know I’d be all nice and quiet and content that way too.
Where is last Sunday’s recap?
Sugarbush – hope you’re ok and coming back soon. My husband gets irritated with my constant obsessing about this show and I need somewhere to vent.
Seriously disappointed with how long these recaps take to come out. The past 2 seasons I’ve always so looked forward to the tvgasm recaps. Sad to see it slipping.
So I just started watching this show a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend…and I finally caught up to the current episode last night. I never looked at any recaps before because I didn’t want to spoil myself, so now that I can I am so glad to see how many people agree with me.
I can’t stand Lori and was so happy when she died. My boyfriend thinks I’m heartless, but I guess most of you agree with me! Olive Oyl is hilarious by the way…I always called her stick figure with no soul (from Sex and the City), but that works even better
RIP T-Dogg, you will be missed…and I totally called them out on killing the token while we were watching. Why’s it always gotta be the black man?
I never knew so many people found Darryl attractive. I think he’s kind of gross redneck (lookswise) but has a great personality and is a total badass. He’s who I’d want with me in the zombie apocolypse…but not for sexy times. I was shocked when I saw he used to be a model for Prada…maybe he cleans up well?
I love this show. I think I am obsessed, but in a good way? After the episode where Carl shot his mom – I had come up with a theory. (Actually a lot of it was my husband’s). Since we didn’t actually see Carl shoot Lori, my husband was able to convince me that maybe he didn’t really shoot her. And then I just went crazy – was able to convince myself that Carol, who was running about the prison happened upon Lori and she wasn’t really dead yet and since Herschel had started training Carol in emergency triage that she was able to save Lori and now they were just waiting for someone to find them. As much as I disliked the Lori character, and was happy to have her gone, that would have been epic! But, alas, before I was even able to develop my theory – it was shot down.
The main reason I watch tv is to read snarky recaps on tvgasm and one of the 3 shows I’m watching during my crazy med school schedule is the walking dead. I’m seriously bummed out on how long these recaps are taking to get up. I understand recapping is a voluntary thing but so many people look forward to it. Hope you’re ok sugarbush and I hope to see some recaps soon. You’ve been hilariously recapping for awhile so something serious must be going on. Hope all is well and hope we see a recap soon. Can’t wait to hear your take on the past 2 episodes!
