It wasn't the school he wanted to see, it was the cannibals' camp. He had to see that severed leg, really confront the reality of the outside world, for him to accept that the group was righteous in killing them.

Thanks for the info. I was only half-joking about Lapidus. I don't know why, but he is one of my favorite characters, even though he frankly is not that important except as a plot device. It's his constantly furrowed brow.

The pace of the network TV industry, especially a few years ago, just amazes me sometimes. Like how you could have created and cast a new character and be filming them within a few weeks, have the reaction be bad or the actor drop out, and then have to switch gears midway into a season (even your final season). It's…

Would the other one have been about the almighty Lapidus? I really hope so.

Ya I've heard that stuff. And Cesar too. What was up with that guy?

I've heard rumors of that kind of stuff too. Does anyone have any info on other stories that the WGA strike killed? My biggest frustratingly killed story, although not in season 4, was Ilana in season 6. I was literally just dumbfounded by how little that arc mattered in the grand scheme of things.

I think he was an investment banker. (?)

Said the Governor, while gouging everyone's eyes out.

I know, right? There's even a shell casing flying out of the gun.

Season 1 (Episode 5… I think?) shows the destruction of Atlanta through the eyes of Lori and Shane as they are trying to go towards the supposed refugee center.

I seriously thought he was just going to drop Officer Mr Clean right in front of Daryl. He was giving him Rick's patented soul-baring thousand mile stare.

I know. Daryl gave him this look like, "You didn't ask me about this." Hardcore Rick is the best Rick. I think it's the beard. It gives him strength.

Amen. Praise be to the bearded one, he of the red blade.

I've thought for a while that any new adaptation should be set 35 years from now (I believe 1984 was published in 1949 IIRC), and should extrapolate modern technological and political concerns while keeping the original book's themes intact. It would be more interesting IMO than a straight adaptation of the existing…

I also think Rick has a metal band named Throatbite. It's pretty dark stuff. Their first album was called Cannibal Church Massacre.

It was Merle's bike.

It's funny because this is actually what I tell myself about her character.

Featuring Rick G-Rhymes and his hit single "Stuff N Thangs"

Agree. Reedus has said that he pictures Daryl with no game because of his issues, and almost asexual.

In a deleted scene from the second season premiere, they are revealed to all be dead. There was about a half hour of deleted material from that episode because of the creative conflicts between Darabont and AMC. So it ended up being one 90 minute ep. Fun facts!
