Be careful about how you present these studies - what you were taught in Introduction to Psychology is a very simplified version of the story, and the take-away about people's nature is not that clear. For example, recent research on the Stanford Prison Experiment has highlighted just how much the professor, Zimbardo,…

He's the British answer to Matthew McConaughey.

Kathy Bates will get an Emmy just for her hissing of LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEESSSSS at Jessica Lange.

Well, on a better show, D'Angelo would be a total red herring with his character flaws and oddness. Given the plotting on TWD, I see him as the actual front-runner for the inside crazy.

Totally agreed. Looks like they were shot/clubbed, dragged outside, and then burned. No way that was self-inflicted.

They established in the last episode that he was found wandering and completely alone for who-knows how long. He has a drinking problem. He's disarmingly agreeable for someone in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. He just strikes me as a little off-kilter.

She's hanging out with Daryl.

D'Angelo makes the most sense, unless the writers just pluck some random background nobody from anonymity to be the villain.

I like how Carl deconstructed his cross. I guess he has to carve a flying spaghetti monster or something now.

That just bugged me from a rational standpoint. Why not just drive further out in the field and kill one pig instead of killing them all 5 feet apart? Draw off the walkers and kill them, then quarantine the remaining pigs and see if any survive rather than just assuming they're all infected…

Don't forget Frances Conroy - she's 59.

Face lick.

I hate Gladwell and his legion of copycats churning out overly-simplified social science research. As a psychologist, I see this obsession with sexy, counter-intuitive research with overblown implications for everyday life as a real threat to the legitimacy of the field. The best journals want "impactful" research…

Sean Penn is a great actor, except for when he's busy being a terrible actor (I Am Sam, All the King's Men, etc.). His good work is outstanding (and I'd add Mystic River to your list), but his failures are uniformly cringe-worthy.

I don't think he's any worse than the majority of male, A-list actors who show up in movies to just be themselves.

Hopefully the writers will not perpetuate the stereotype that people with Dwarfism have special and magical abilities and just cast someone suitably creepy in the role.

Mmm, I can feel those sweet product placement dollars rolling in now…

Clearly it was the poltergeist who pooped the bed.
