Real spoilers are one thing, complaining about knowing an actor being cast in a role before they show up is a little first-world-problemy for me.

Carol has never been a mindless killing machine. She killed out of what she saw as necessity in the prison, and accepted banishment for it. She barely made it through killing Lizzie, and I wouldn't have been surprised if she had shot herself directly after that. Terminus made her a bad-ass in the fan's eyes, and some people just want that and nothing else.

I was getting a little tired of Carol's schtick when they arrived in Alexandria. Referring to them as "children", threatening Ben(?) with tying him to a tree and leaving him for the walkers, and all that. But I wasn't very happy with the way the whole group was acting then. One of the biggest problems with this show is how inconsistent their motivation can be.

I do think Morgan is having a deeper effect on her than she wants. Going to be interesting when this heats up again.

Oh, a prediction for the finale:

Spoiler:
The last shot of the season will be the POV shot of Negan swinging Lucille, but we won't know who gets whacked until October.

I guess that would depend on how a character is introduced. If a show (not just this one) was have an actor play a unidentified role for some period of time, having been told who that actor was playing would be quite the spoiler, no?

Even going on about a show being renewed or cancelled could give things away. My basic point is that there are other threads for casting details & renewals/cancellations. Or just use the tags. It should be that simple.

My theory on the season finale (I haven't read anything on what happens) :

Since Maggie was stabbed in the abdomen my guess is that her baby is dead. The baby dies and turns into a zombie in her womb causing accelerated growth. The zombie baby eats her from the inside and bursts out of her chest Alien style.

It'll never happen but would be cool to see.

She wasn't stabbed - her shirt was slashed and she was cut. No one responded in any way that would have indicated it was more than just a scratch. But it was close enough that Carol decided playtime was over.

It's not just knowing an actor (though I don't like that). This particular character is well-known to comic readers, and his entrance has been teased on the show for quite a while. Just to blurt out that he's going to be played by X and appear in Y without spoiler tags is not courteous.

Just in case anyone can't place the two juxtaposed sets, it's TWD with the original Saw movie.

They shot Saw in Atlanta?

When Carol and Maggie were held hostage by the Saviors in their hideout, the room they were initially locked in was the very same room used for most of first movie in the Saw franchise.

Yep, as spotted by The Walking Dead Twitter account, that's the room in which Adam and Lawrence were locked inside of and forced to sever their own legs in back in 2004. It's a possibility that the entire facility was actually the set of the hallways in the same facility seen in the later installments of the Saw franchise.

Except Saw was filmed in Los Angeles and TWD shoots in Atlanta. Also, on The Talking Dead, they talking about it being a custom built set. Maybe they used the same plans?

I'd imagine it was an homage, not the literal set. After all - there are definitely differences (in addition to the similarities). Tile work doesn't go all the way to the ceiling in TWD, no doors in the SAW room where they are in the TWD room, etc.)

I don't know one way or the either. The official Twitter account claimed it was the same set even though Saw was shot in LA. I don't see any TWD production moving to LA. They have a great thing going on in Georgia.

I suggest watching Saw again. The two rooms are nothing alike.

Catching up on episodes, finally saw this one. I don't know who Alicia Witt is and had to look her up; I thought all the women in there were absolutely terrible actors, her specifically. Glad they didn't keep them around any further then they needed to.

Enjoyed the arc that Carol is going through, and yeah it was obvious where she was pretending and where she wasn't. Locking and burning them in that room - harsh.

She was the "D-girl" in that one episode of The Sopranos with Jon Favreau.

Never saw The Sopranos, so that doesn't help me.

She's been in lots of things going all the way back to Dune as a child. I think the role that would generally be given credit for sparking her career in the 90s would be Gertrude Lang, the girl Richard Dreyfuss teaches to play the clarinet in Mr. Holland's Opus.
