My girlfriend wanted to know how Norman Reedus smells? To be honest, I'm curious as well.
steveyeun83He smells like a fusion of vanilla hand soap and motorcycle musk.

If something was to happen to Glenn that gets him killed, how would you personally as an actor prefer to be killed twice?
Like what kind of death scene would you like to play if it was totally up to you, both as human and walker?

I'd love to have my death be via explosion. I'd be on a motorcycle and a heard of walkers would be chasing me down a highway. They would also be on motorcycles (it'd be way down the line, when the walkers eventually figure out how to ride). I'd look behind me and say, "Oh F-" but it would cut to me looking ahead, right before I said the F word, to a giant Chevron semi. I'd look back one more time. Grit my teeth, then pull out a comically large stick of dynamite from my pant leg. It would say, "TNT" on it. Trinitrotoluene guys... come on. Then I'd take an large match, I'm talking like 3 feet long and drag it on the ground to light it. Then I'd light the stick of dynamite and throw it at the truck in front. I'd do a front flip with my motorcycle over the blast and the blast would project me on to the road in front of me. The explosion would kill the giant walker biker hoarde and I would look back in satisfaction.
Shortly after, I'd realize that I'm physically fine but will to live would diminish as I had done maybe the most bad ass thing I possibly could in my life. Then a harem of bodacious babes would come of from the sides and we'd cut to black because it's still basic cable. Then we'd reopen on me with lipstick kisses all over my face and I would say, "all in a days work." Then I'd fall to sleep/death with a smile on my face.
I'd reanimate immediately, and would have to be sexed to death again. As my brain would be realized to be actually located in my nether regions.
I hope this happens.

AMAZING.

Thoroughly entertaining read. Kid seems pretty grounded.

i don't think this was posted yet, i've sort of lost track of the last dozen pages, but a decent conference call transcript/interview - alludes to some spoiler-ish stuff

(that forum is great by the way)

Sheez, think they can say "you know" anymore..... Decent read besides everyone saying "you know" so many friggin times.....

[EternityEnd]

That, you know, interview would, you know, make a decent, you know, drinking game. You know, if you want to get hammered.

You know, that, you know, I'll say, you know, the fact that we revealed the (randal) before that so that people were not completely baffled or thrown off when Shane rises. You know, that there - we built to that and we spend a lot of time crafting that story on the page.

Where did these people learn to speak?

I'm late, just saw it, but yeah, coming to a conclusion before this episode aird was stupid.

Spoiler: show

My thoughts on the things people seem confused about as someone who HASN'T read the comics:

The show has had lots of hints about the zombie-mode being a passive disease as was said earlier, but nothing conclusive or even prominent enough for any of the main characters to believe that to be the case. Every person they've seen or heard of "changing," was preceded by a bite or attack of some sort.

It is possible that this was the information conveyed by the scientist to Rick though, which would explain why Rick was hovering over the body and freaking out until his son showed up with gun in hand and launched everything else out of his mind. Also possible he just didn't know and was freaking out because it was Shane and he didn't want it to end that way. We'll probably find out if he already knew (and was probably in denial) next episode, but in either case I think the whole 'passive' disease thing is going to come up one way or another for sure either in the finale or at the start of the next season considering the now direct evidence they have.

As for Carl pointing the gun, my interpretation was that he probably was freaking out thinking his father killed Shane in cold blood and lifted the gun to protect himself or just out of anger. When he saw Shane get back up as a zombie, he saw a more immediate and certain danger and came to his senses. Alternatively, considering it's likely he would still think the disease is passed by bites, upon seeing Shane zombified, he may have instead thought Shane was actually just bitten and Rick was defending himself and thus changed targets. Largely this all depends on how much of the confrontation he actually saw.

Lastly, the herd. In my mind, the zombies really are like a passive herd that moves in and out like a duststorm. So at any time they could be walking nearby or they could be miles away and the farm completely safe (no matter how much noise was made). Throughout the season, it would seem the farm has been relatively safe because they stick to the middle of it and made relatively little noise, so packs that came near the borders would have no reason to try to get over gates/fences and would just move on. With that in mind, the final encounter makes a lot more sense. it was at night, when they are most active. They made a lot of noise with the 2 gunshots and all the yelling. And they were way far out from the farm, either near or past the borders of the property, where they are more likely to be found. Add all that up, and they managed to hook onto a particularly large herd that was nearby and fucked themselves over pretty hard.

edit: One final thing: Fucking awesome episode.

Geno pretty much posted exactly what I was going to say.

Who's stupid now?

After the last two episodes I find myself genuinely excited for what happens tonight. Last time I was excited by TWD was Season 1. Some interesting predictions going on for what people think is going to happen. The most interesting theories I've found so far.

1. Hershel goes insane after zombies wreck his farm.
2. Randall's group arrives and is led by none other than Meryl.
3. Said group includes Morgan and his son.
4. Open acknowledgment that everyone is already infected.
5. Michonne arrives.

[Serif]

seems like as good a time as any

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

the arrival of a new character is too much for tonight and next season is 16 episodes. They have plenty of time to add new elements and create a new story. I expect nothing but carnage and misery tonight and a whole lot of what the fuck to end on.
