A better actress could have found a way to project a certain level of likability onto Lori's character, but this work would have been all between the lines of the script — similar to how Michael Rooker took a completely two-dimensional character and made him compelling without any help from the writers.  But this is a…

Mark Hamill is kind of like the Ringo of film.  On its own merits, Hamill's performance as Luke might not be one for the ages, but because of the popularity and cultural significance of the movies, it's guaranteed that people will still be laughing at his goofy facial expressions a hundred years from now.  He's always…

Andrea gives up most of the information to Merle — because she's worried Merle is going to kill her as revenge for being somewhat complicit in cuffing him to a rooftop.  The point of Andrea's exposition was to convince Merle that Rick risked his life to rescue him, and that Rick had earned Daryl's trust, so that Merle…
