Crazy stuff...

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Seems Rick was as surprised as I was to hear the Governor say "That was quite a stash of weapons you brought back" This guy needs to be taken out and taken out QUICK.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

I assume they're going to lose the prison, the way they lost the farm. It's the Gilligan's Island Syndrome. So close, yet so far.

So much going on. I'm really anxious to see what happens next. It's a lot of fun to watch. Best reason to pay for satellite right now.

People from both sides making friends. Maybe we'll see some characters split together.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Yeah, no way a guy keeping that much an eye on you would let you live. That was fucked up.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Why would Rick consider this for even a nanosecond with all the information he has on the Governor?

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

That would be awesome, war + herd.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Easily the worst episode of the series for me. Let's waste an hour with a pointless "negotiation", Blech. I guess they just want to wait until the last episode.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

I'll be the first. Please please kill Andrea next week if she try to redeem herself.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

I agree, just a lot of staring.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

This X10000000.

Seems like the writers have largely listened to the fans and created a show with fewer of the problems that plagued earlier episodes/seasons (killing off Lori, turning Carl into a badass, improving the pacing, more gore, better characterization of Michonne, etc.), so I'm continually baffled that Andrea gets as much screen-time as she does every week. Her character is awful and adds nothing worthwhile to the show.

And about the ep., loved it, and a great follow-up to last week's (probably my favorite to date).

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

I should think that Rick, being a cop, would be able to pick up that the Gov isn't to be trusted.

Of course he walked into what could easily have been an ambush tonight, so his police instincts might be off...

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Also, he has no idea about prisons near his home town.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

I'm so bored.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

It seemed completely out of character for Rick to not just shoot the Governor in the head.

After last week's amazing episode this one was a serious letdown. I can't believe they're going to drag this Boringbury plot out for another 3 weeks.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Why wasn't tonight epsiode closed-captioned? Since I'm hard of hearing I alway have them on but this was the only episode not to have them. :(

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

That's why last weeks episode was such a pleasant surprise for me. 16 hours is way too long for this storyline. Now they have to drag out what we all know is coming. This was a filler episode, and I'm afraid we're going to get another next week. Last week was perfect.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

dom56, it was just your provider. They were available on my viewing.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

With 3 episodes left, we might have 2 more filler episodes to get through. :(

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Ok, thank. Hope my provider get it working for next week.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

This is beginning to be a show where nothing happens till the last ten minutes.
I don't know why I thought this was the finale tonight.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Khan and Kirk never met face to face in Star Trek II. These two didn't have to, either.

There was no logical reason for Rick not to plug one in the Governor's head first thing that Ol' Winky hung up his gun belt.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

It's amazing how nobody appreciates the art of telling a story anymore.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

Yea... I mean...if you wanna watch something completely just zombie kills..watch a 90 minute movie or something. A TV series can't survive and thrive off just that.

But... I do think this whole meeting was unneccersary. I do like the conflict of should he give up Michone for the greater good or not though. But there is no reason for Rick not to have just shot him there and end it.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Arrow on the Doorpost" -- 3/10/13
 

It's about consistency. Rick killed two guys in a bar because he had a bad vibe about them. Better safe than sorry.

Now, he knows how much of a psychopath the guy is, but has an inner debate about handing over Michonne? He doesn't shoot the guy on sight? Rick should have gone there with the plan to ambush the governor.
