"Kirkman mentioned at this year's San Diego Comi-Con that he was originally going to end the comic when Rick's crew reached Alexandria. However, the show was a ratings powerhouse. So AMC said, "Your show is a hit."

The Film Theorists have a good video explaining how these numb nuts are , or should be, deaf due to their constant habit of firing off guns in confined spaces

"plus the bowcaster shot" - I've seem this pointed out before - the movie makes a point of showing the power of that weapon (every time someone gets shot with it they basically go flying) for this very purpose

Maybe , but there is a difference I think: the cult of authenticity around modern pop music . 'classical' music is composed with the idea of others also eventually playing it, which can keep it alive through time. Modern pop music is supposed to stem from the singular emotional voice of the author (or their swedish…

"So if they weren’t there for thematic or narrative purposes, what were they there for?"

"How on earth did they identify these kids? Is there testing at state run day cares or some sort of clever surveillance system in place?"

"Rick has been on the edge for a while now, but it’s fascinating here to watch him rant at the townsfolk, because part of what he’s saying (like the fact that these people are absolute shit at going on runs outside the fence, unless it’s Aaron on a recruiting trip) is legitimately true.

Another site suggested she's actually going to be Jennifer Jones - they'll introduce her in Daredevil as a prelude to the Jones Netflix show show .

Define bomb. Less than 100 million domestic? Less than what Thor 1 made (domestically?)? Less than 250 million worldwide?

You’ve got to love Axl’s pride over giving college his all and “doing solid C-level work” for his trouble. Given that his psych notes appear to consist almost entirely of drawings of dragons and random woman-fish combos , I’m not sure how his grades are even that high."

I enjoyed the episode but there was something near the end that bothered me. Skye and Coulson are having a conversation by the pool, the hard drive comes up, and Skye says something to the effect of "I left them[Ward/Hyrdra] a little surprise" when she decrypted the drive…only Coulson then immediately barrels past…

True, but the Hecks aren't exactly competent people. Granted they have their share of bad luck and we can easily talk about structural reasons behind their poverty, but they would be case number one for conservatives trying to argue that poor people are poor because of their own failings. In fact, I wonder if that…

"Dare I say that The Simpsons have a better reason for when the family goes to exotic locations."
