   I haven’t really watched much of WD last season, but I read the graphic novels. If they follow those, holy CRAP is this going to be an interesting season.

   I really enjoyed this episode and hope it bodes well for the rest of the season. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I kinda felt sorry for Lori. I still want her to die though.

   these folks are one shot wonders…I think they only missed the kill spot on one zombie.
   Read it’s been 8 months since last season. Unlike you, I found shane to be manly sexy. maybe it was the brother semblance. I miss him already

   The special effects for this episode were a-maz-ing. Truly. I hope they keep that up this season.

   Olive Oyl is decidely the worst character — this may be the actress’ fault (’cause she’s awful), but it’s also the writers’ fault for making her so unlikeable.

   And if the writers pussy out and DO NOT have the fetus eat her from the inside out, then they suck and they’ll always suck.

   I like it that Carol’s more assertive — there’s some weird thing going on between her and Darryl, like a joke between them. Hmmm… it was a long winter. Maybe Darryl came out as gay to her?

   Oh, I do sort of like the Hershel character, but I feel he’s had his day.

   And Sugarbush? If you’re perv enough to drool over the abs of an armless, lower-jawless zombie, then you’re definitely the one for this recap job!

   I have been waiting for this recap! I have read all of your recaps and thanks to them, started watching this season. My favorite kill was the pic you chose, ripping the face off! Thank you for recapping!!

   Worst pregnancy belly ever. For all the zombie effects, they couldn’t fake a pregnancy better than that?

   This ep was better than most of the second season. Excited to see new characters coming into play, shake things up a bit. Some (most) of the other players were getting a bit stale, although Dark, Embittered Rick is much more intriguing than Boring, Moral Compass Rick.
   Lori is the worst. I am shocked T-Dog got more than 32 seconds of screen time.

   I was always divided about Shane. I thought he was mostly awesome but dangerously crazy and I’m relieved for the group that Rick killed him.

   My hate for Lori hasn’t changed and I’m thrilled to find like-minded people here. I drove my family crazy last season because I cannot shut up about how much she irritates me.

   While I agree that Mrs. Pregnancy is a bad character, Rick has gotten worse and worse overtime, bt nobody can hold a candle to Carl in the category of worst character in the show. Shitty attitude, sadistic, thinks he should be involved in everything, can’t stay the fuck still in one place, disobeys orders, thinks he’s already a man. He’s like every single “annoying kid” cliche rolled up into one little turd with a cowboy hat, and while the idea of children deaths in any show or movie disturbs me, this is the one time I actively root for a kid to get killed in the most painful way possible.

    if it’s possible to get worse than death, carl does. if you read the comics.

    **spoiler**

    I only read the first Walking Dead book, but doesn’t Carl become the central character of the series? So I guess we’re stuck with him.

    I agree, that was definitely the worst fake pregnancy belly I have ever seen. I guess they went all out on the zombies this year and only remembered they had to do a belly at the last minute. And I hate how she walks around holding the damn thing up all the time. Is it sliding off her Olive Oyl ass?

    I’m not finding Carl as annoying as last year and I already mentioned I felt sympathy for Olive. Maybe it’s hormones.

    And I like Hershel and don’t want him to go, especially after they put him through the leg chop. How awful would that be to go through someone chopping your leg off while you’re screaming bloody murder and THEN you still have to die!

    Ahhhh!!!! So glad you’re recapping, Sugar!!!

    This episode was so awesome, I watched it twice. Everyone is a fucking badass now, even Carl.

    I’ve always been on the “I hate Lori” band wagon. I’m kind of happy Rick is upset with Lori. It’s about time. I love Rick and he’s very easy on the eyes.

    I’m really sad about Hershel. I don’t want him to die.

    What’s up with Carl and Maggie’s sister?? Surely, it’s a one way crush because he’s like, 12.

    Sugar – Dale was my favorite too.

    My fav scene was when Maggie stabbed the zombie in the head then looked at glen and said “Did you see that?!?”

    Also, I thing TDog had more lines this episode than he did the last two season, so yay TDog!!!

    I just have to say, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who was a little WTF about Carl and Hershel’s daughter. I mean, sure, it’s the apocalypse and there’s slim pickings. But for reals. Carl looks like he’s like 8. It’s weird. Just, no. I mean, can you imagine if the ages were switched? Yikes. I’m glad for Shane to be gone because he went from complicated to mustache twirling, and I like Rick a little more complicated. I haven’t always hated Lori, but I’m so glad Rick finally is pissed at her. Which, weirdly, is what she wanted in episode 1 so maybe he shouldn’t be mad at her?

    I read the comic so……………..

    Good recap. I LOLed at the Amber Portwood joke. They should throw a zombie Amber walking around with the crazy eyelashes and weird piercings falling out of her rotting face.

    Glad they are doing the alive prisoner storyline. Not saying anything more. Was wondering if they would still do it.
    Really liked this episode. I would be a Maggie. I am not hanging back. Send me in for zombie killing.

    Count me in for Lori hater. Hate for her has been since Episode 1 and not gone down at all. I LOLed when she wrecked in the car that time. I was like “What a stupid fucking bitch!? Go somewhere and not tell anyone you are going? Ruin a perfectly good car? God you suck!”

    Re: Last night’s episode: Every time it’s just Lori and Rick on screen, the show loses all its momentum. Man, I was so disappointed that Herschel didn’t bite her face off.

    Great ‘cap!! Looking forward to the rest of the season!

    The campfire song…..god it went on forever. I looked at the clock and they wasted five minutes on that crap.

    Lori is still annoying as hell. And that pregnancy bump is just THE WORST. guess all the special effects went towards the zombies, they couldn’t spring for an extra $100 worth of bump makeup, huh? The folks over at “face off” would have done a much better job.

    Speaking of Lori, Carl still sucks too.

    Im really interested in what happens with Andrea and her new BFF, also Glenn and Maggie. They are the “anti Rick and Lori”

    @Blahblahblah: Fuck you and your Spoiler.

    To everyone else: I also find Lori completely annoying…but not Carl. I think Carl is pretty bad ass actually…

    And I can’t wait to find out more about Andrea and Female Blade!

    @Sugarbush: you had me at “Blood In, Blood Out” *hugs*

    I’m with sweetblondie:
    Can we please NOT put spoilers on these recaps? A simple “spoiler alert” doesn’t help much either. We get you read the books and that’s cool and all but if we want spoilers we’ll read them ourselves.
