The sctors will already be at least a year older in season two, and it isn’t going to be shown until October. Unless they plan to shoot seasons three and four before 2017 is out, they will have teenage/young-adult actors on their hands. Kind of like, in the Walking Dead, it may be only two or theee years total in-show…

I really don’t have time to go back and forth with Kinja’s latest troll-wannabe. Thanks.

Well, the psychologists didn’t help. They had a stack-ranking system that encouraged back-stabbing and grandstanding simultaneously. Supposedly that’s gone now, but who knows. Most of the people I worked with there have moved on.

Kinda wanting the gang to age up into grunge rockers circa 1989-91.

I just think that, in the TWD world, there must be hundreds of Negans by this point, not to mention the rogue “Last Ship” cruising around with copters and jets and nuclear weapons.

The story goes that at Microsoft (where I worked for a while) people would actually wear a button that said, “Fuck you, I’m vested.”

Fair enough. I thought maybe Carol’s encounter with the Kingdom scout and his extra bottle of water might have changed her mind about wanting to go back and help, but that was a thin reason.

While would have kept reading your comment anyway, it may have benefitted from a “Comics spoiler” kind of warning.

Yep. Rick said they stashed the car someplace safe. Snd I too thought the new group looked mostly female (if not completely).

Negan is talking on the radio about poor fat Joey as they drive up to the blockade. Joey has been out doing all kinds of Walker misdirection and probably some booby traps like this. Negan et al may not know the extent of Joey’s fortifications.

Maybe Carol contacted the Oceanside women? The group that surrounded Rick and company seemed to be mostly women to me.

I see the sneak-attack zombies teaching the lesson that “you never leave your guard down.” A corrolary to the sneak attack is the “not paying attention while driving” crash that seems to take people out (or put them right where a zombie needs them to be),

Yay. Thanks for an “original” version. Now I wonder, is there some psychoanalyzing of Rick (or of his mother, I suppose) we can do if we compare his version of the story with this? Why so many injuries and destructions (broken bones, axles, kegs of beer) in Rick’s version? Is he adding color to make it a more…

Re: the Saviors. Everyone has to realize that there is going to be another Saviors a few clicks down the road, terrorizing their own little groups of survivors, right?

Plus, if their goal was to leave no evidence of them having stolen explosives, leaving a thousand chopped up zombies blows the whole cover.

Having recently completed John Scalzi’s Redshirts,

One of my best friends has a text file of every wager he’s ever made with anyone, about anything. It started as a flat UNIX text file about 25 years ago. Every now and then, one of his friends will be confronted with something like, “On January 5th, 1996, you bet me $100 that we wouldn’t see a black president in our…

This wins the thread. Art from life (well, life of a nerd).

Ibanez electric guitars from the 1970s, especially the “Musician” model. I can look at a Musician and guess its date of manufacture down to the month/year based on what kinds of parts it has and how the guitar is put together.

Why not. These days 90% of the effects getting the awards are CGI anyway. It should be about making technicological advancement to the art, or pulling off something seemingly impossible (practical effect or not).
