The Walking Dead - Page 3

Clodfobble · 12-20-2013, 05:51 PM

Okay, I have a question for you other folks who have watched Walking Dead. We have just started season 3, so I've skimmed some earlier parts of this thread to try to keep my spoilers to a minimum.

In that same vein, do not read the rest of this post if you haven't gotten to season 3 yet.

Okay, so in the part we're at, they have just settled into the prison, and Lori hasn't had her baby yet.

My question is, why is Rick all mad at Lori now? They implied that he blames her for somehow forcing him to kill Shane at the end of last season, but neither Mr. Clod nor I can figure out how that is remotely supposed to be her fault. Did we miss a plot point somewhere, or is this just an example of us being too logical and not understanding normal people's irrational emotions?

I'm thinking that he felt betrayed by Lori's total withdrawal from him after he admitted that he killed Shane. Probably felt that he lost her trust and respect. It never occurred to me that he blamed her for his actions, but beforehand there were a lot of conflicting emotions coming from her about the baby...whose it was, will it survive, it is worth to keep it to term, so she was never really on solid ground enough to give Rick a lot of support via the whole Shane thing. Maybe he did feel that killing Shane was a result of her not dealing with it effectively.

Didn't Shane force the issue? By wanting her back or something?

Pro: They would move even slower, even the fast ones.

Con: You'd constantly be swinging over their heads, smaller targets.

There's also the fact that she all but told him that he wold have to fight for her: that Shane was dangerous, deluded and likely to try and kill him in order to keep her and the baby he believed to be his own.

Then, afterwards, her response to him was not what he expected.

Incidentally: I watched the midseason finale night before last: well, fuck. I mean...just fuck.

Damn this show is awesome. Can't believe I have to wait til Spring now.

Fucking stoopid split seasons.

I remember having the same questions, and I think I decided he was mad because he's a dick.

Amen, sister!

And that means it'll be on at the same time as Game of Thrones, when it could be over before GOT starts. Assholes.

Just watched the season six premiere.

Holy fuck balls, that is a season opener.

Sundae · 10-26-2015, 07:19 AM

I watched it.
I didn't like.

I mean I liked it like I always like The Walking Dead. And I appreciated the difference in colour to separate the time-jumps. But it was too much for my tiny brain to handle. I need to watch it again to work out the real order, which I can't do until it comes out on DVD. Grrrr.

I'm not very good with things not laid out in time-sequence. I don't mind a bit of confusion, but I need to have things straight in my head to properly appreciate them. If I had access to it, I'd watch and rewatch and enjoy. The pressure of knowing it was a one-off viewing ended up making me less clever about keeping the plot-lines separate.

Not saying it wasn't good.
Just saying my personal circumstances meant I didn't enjoy it as much as I would a straightforward rendering.

So far we've had three episodes that cover the same time period. It's an interesting structure.

DanaC · 10-26-2015, 12:40 PM

I havent seen ep 3 yet. might watch tonight

Pamela · 10-26-2015, 01:50 PM

They killed Glenn.

I'm in mourning!

Happy Monkey · 10-26-2015, 01:53 PM

Maybe switch the font color to white? DanaC hasn't seen it yet.

DanaC · 10-26-2015, 02:57 PM

Whoah! Spoiler alert!

I've been avoiding articles all day that splashed 'death of fan favourite' all over the headlines.

Sundae · 10-26-2015, 03:27 PM

FUCK.
