    What? I didn't see any walkers that look like Darryl. What part of the video are you talking about?

    Around 3:25 onwards. The zombie being held back.

    Huh, saw that the first time around but thought the zombie's face looked a little too pudgy to be Darryl. On second glance it does look a bit like him, but I don't know if I believe that AMC would give us that big of a spoiler in the announcement trailer, much less actually kill him off that way, seeing as how Darryl's been a fan favorite since the middle of season 1. Personally I think it's more likely that Lori gets ganked this season.

    Edit: Also, did I just see Merle pull an Ash Williams with his missing hand?

    Lori needs to go, preferably before she breeds. But I doubt it, the idiocy and meaningless drama that can come from Rick's kids is a nice little plot lubricant that I don't think the writers want to give up.

    Not to mention the fact that the writers probably don't have the balls to finish her.

    If they do, they probably won't end her the way the comics did.

    Well, having not read the comics I'll avoid the spoiler, but join in on the Lori needs to die group, her and Carl preferably. sure it'll break Rick, though potentially it'll make him more brutal than he is, even though he was starting to come across as people describe him in the comics, at least to me. Still, more Carl with a gun, alone, un-supervised, I swear the writers do this just to make us angry and keep us watching in case the little shit finally gets what he seems to desperately want from his undead companions.

    Hey! Couldn't find a thread for the Walking Dead comics so I thought I'd post here. Did anyone read issue 100?

    Man, I almost lost it right in the store :puke:
    Anyone one else have thoughts on the issue?

    Stupid shit like what happens in that issue is why I refuse to pick this book back up after having to drop it a while ago.

    It's back! S3 Ep1.

    Liked what I saw, but what happened to Hershel could have been avoided if everyone checked the 'dead' bodies. Just because a Walker is not moving doesn't mean it's not a threat.

    Meh, they were in a bit of a rush throughout that scene. While unfortunate, I do think that it's believable.

    Hershel also could have, you know, went around instead over the 'dead' body. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't just be smart and avoid putting his leg right within biting range. At least that way if the Walker does move, he has time to react.

    I can let it go since he was worried about his daughter, but that should be in avoid getting bitten 101.

    "Under no circumstances should one leave an extremity within the reach of a Walker's mouth unless you yourself has put something sharp and pointy into said Walker's brain."

    Carl planted the sleeping zombie for Hershel. No one cock blocks Carl. No one.

    Fucking awesome premiere was awesome. I have literally never been happier to see a show return. VIVA LA THE WALKING DEAD.

    To be fair, we had to know it was coming; Hershel getting effed up provides the most dramatic tension at the moment, with Lori about to pop a kid and what not. Jeez, I really want them at some point to just lure the walkers all into the same area, and douse them with gasoline or something. There's got to be a better way than running around dark halls with guns and flash lights. O_O

    I see you have never played Left 4 Dead.
    The only thing worse than a zombie, is a zombie that's on fire.

    Well, yeah, you wouldn't want to be in the same room with them. O_O Maybe from up above or set a trap.

    Gasoline is way too valuable as a fuel source to be wasted. If they won't even use bullets when it's not absolutely necessary, they can't afford to use gas.

    Still these people are idiot.

    When the cleared the inner courtyard they walked in and did hand to hand combat. They could have just made a lot of noise and lured them to the fence to finish them off. It worked well to start with.

    In fact their whole strategy of clearing the prison has been retarded. They deserve to be eaten.

    I love the show but these people are idiots.

    Great first episode of the new season! I absolutely loved it and can't wait for more.

    Still, I second the opinion of them acting retarded after they established the "safe-zone" in the outer yard. Then again, considering their situation; starved, scared and desperate, it is quite believable. Everyone makes mistakes and people who are stressed who lacks sleep, tend to make more than most.

    Pretty much. Why would you get into a situation where you could be cut off and surrounded? Outside the prison I can kinda let go off because it was more for visual reasons than anything, inside...they just couldn't move the plot along without someone being dumb.
