I remember Bill Berry speaking about 'Radio Song', and basically saying they didn't owe radio shit, as he believed it was their relentless touring schedule from '81 to '87 that built up their fanbase to a large enough level that they couldn't be denied, and radio was then forced to play them.

When I saw the preview for this episode, I thought "Please not a whole episode dedicated to the Governor".

It's because Rick is the 'hero' and everyone excuses his actions because of it. He's the star of the story, which means his actions are rationalised away as 'being good', yet everyone else is just a supporting actor in his story and is held up to unrealistic standards of behaviour because of it.

Bollocks. I remember on here when everyone justified Walter White killing Jesse's girlfriend, then decided a couple of season's later that *now* he was evil for poisoning a kid.

I'm way ahead of you. I hate *the cadence of his speech* by now.

To be honest, even the actor playing Axel said that's why he was originally cast, then the writer's wandered off somewhere.

You've just proved you're too smart to be watching this show.

Yeah, the smart ones who identified the toxic infighting, the weird passive-aggression between Rick and Shane, saw that Darryl and Merle were racists, and figured they would be better off alone.

My grandmother used to tell me the clean underwear thing, but it was 'in case you get hit by a bus'. I used to find it amusing, but after she died I discovered her army nursing job during the war involved her going into fresh bomb sites to tend the wounded. Now her fussiness seems a little sad.

Rick murders two men in the bar in Season 2: "I did what I had to do."

I'd watch that show.

Rick killed two men in a bar in Season 2 based on a 'hunch'. He ignored a hitchhiker last season because he was feeling all moody. He murdered prisoners when he invaded the prison and decided his group deserved half of what the people already there had. The inconsistency of the writing for his character, and the…

Logically? If living bacteria no longer seems to affect dead flesh - it would turn a human brain to chunks of mush after about a week - then why would we presume it can even survive inside a zombified corpse? Or, following on from that, viruses?

Remember when Rick murdered two strangers in a bar because he didn't like the questions they were asking in Season 2? Remember last Season when he came in and murdered the prisoners cause he fucking felt like? Remember when Carl said 'The world has changed' and started acting like him Rick suddenly got all…

Rick has been a *toxic* influence on the entire group since Day 1. Horrible lead character, and one I would never remotely miss if he was killed. Particularly given his limited range of acting tricks.

I was laughing when George Romero dumped shit on the show the other day, saying "It's just a soap opera with the occasional zombie."

The Governor killed Andrea, who he was fucking. Why the hell would he still be interested in a bunch of useless people in a prison?

I've been thinking for two minutes and have no memory of him at all.

Offer people anonymity, and they'll be pricks.

I love 'Plague Of The Zombies'. It and 'The Last Man Of Earth' had to have influenced 'Night Of The Living Dead'.
