I'm assuming the effect of Tom Cruise hanging off the side of an aircraft during lift-off was achieved by actually having Tom Cruise hang off the side of an aircraft during lift-off.

I got the sense that they were trying to convey Rick as "holding back"..after all, he didn't just shoot Pete, or bite his throat out (and he had an opportunity for both). He openly says as much before the fight..as he's "trying not to kill" Pete. He also lets Pete initiate the fight…which I suspect is the main reason…

I still believe that there's a group of people 'driving' a herd of walkers like cattle and the "W" is their brand. Perhaps the "W" marked walkers were livestock at one point…sort of the carrot on a stick that the walkers chase, who eventually succumb to fatigue, only to rise and join the herd.

Pete wasn't a pushover, but I'm not surprised. The first time I saw them standing in frame together I noticed how huge Pete was compared to Rick and wondered if Rick even stood a chance in a fight. Plus, he's predisposed to violence…however I'm assuming a lot of Alexandrian's are not.

I agree with you. Their respective experiences with Shane and Abusive Husband plus all the other sociopaths they've encountered, Carol and Rick know better than anyone that the Apocalypse turns shitty people into miscreants and outright bad people into monsters…and there is no turning them back. The only option is to…

At first I thought the "W" zombies were just the dead stock of human slavers….I've changed my tune.

Ghostbusters is just a propaganda film for traditional family values and abstinence. It's about the danger of bros (ghostbusters) recklessly banging broads (proton packs and traps), knocking them up (slimy ghosts) and forcing them to put the baby up for adoption (containment unit). Then when those unloved, abandoned…

Crazy theory time.

I suspect they're invaders. If there's one thing that they've been pretty consistent with this season, 'shooting people' fake-outs in the next episode previews. They have been doing that a fuck-tonne.

That is true, and so obvious, I can't believe I didn't pick up on it.

I buy it, but I think I interpreted it differently than you.

I think Carol has crossed a line, but she's not evil. She's just a little bit too close to the whole abuse thing, particularly with a kid involved, and so she's just not thinking clearly. She's definitely not going to be successful at goading Rick into cold blooded murder.

The gore: reminded me of Tom Savini's super gory, super practical effects, particularly the craziness at the end of Day of the Dead. Honestly, I appreciated it. It also worked to evoke the same emotions in me as they did in Glen.,..horror, sadness, and anger. If he had died off screen, or if the gore was masked, I…

A fellow named Davis Aurini was recently brought to my attention.

I tried watching this show once. It was painful and I didn't last more than a few minutes before I started streaming Parks and Rec episodes. The jokes just weren't funny, the acting was stilted and every time Kat Dennings delivered a punchline, she was mugging so hard and shamelessly, that she may as well have been…

Well the latest T.V. spot I saw last night was set to the tune "American Badass" by Kid Rock.

Mixing males with females? Are you trying to start a cooties pandemic!?

Matthew Broderick is only 7 years older than Paul Rudd. That feels incorrect to me, considering the decades between the peaks of their respective careers.

I've suspected that she's aware of an external threat and that's part of the reason she wanted to bring in some bad asses from the outside.

I don't think Rick is planning to conquer anything. Last episode he said "If they can't make it, then we'll just take this place" and a lot of people seemed to assume a hostile takeover was brewing. To me that line more implies that if the softies of Alexandria end up dying, this'll be our town.
