It was not a bad line if you think the ghost was real and she was expressing sympathy and understanding for him, but if you think the ghost was just his own imagination, then the line becomes about Daniel absolving himself for everything he did wrong and is unmerited self-pity.

He was in bed asleep when the gun shot woke him. Since he probably didn't pack his fluffy bedroom slippers with him for the trip because of … you know … the trying to stay alive … he just had his socks on. He wasn't barefoot. Were you even paying attention to the show? Remember when he took the sock off to how his…

The producers of FTWD and TWD need to learn to stop relying on pronouncements they make in interviews as part of the storytelling process. Gale Anne Hurd appeared on "Talking Dead" and told us that Daniel isn't dead and then Daniel was not included in the "In Memorium" montage. But Celia was included in it with no…

I was just thinking the same thing about the AV Club comments section for the show….

Wow. This is so dumb. Daniel was seeing the walkers as the people he used to know who are now dead. No wonder you hate the show so much. You don't have a clue what you are even watching.

Thank you for the detailed and complex analysis. Having read your carefully considered arguments I see that you must be right. Or else you were just staring into your toilet for an hour and thought it was your TV. Yeah, probably that's what happened. It sucks when you are so dumb that you can't tell your toilet from…

It was night. Everyone was in bed when Strand shot Thomas. So he didn't have shoes on when he went to see what was happening. Then when Chris ran, he just ran too. No time to get shoes.

I liked a lot of this episode, especially the scenes with Nick. I must admit, though, that when Chris and Travis were fighting I was really hoping for a murder/suicide outcome.

Well, if they were thinking that "Abigail" was a wife or daughter they were writing him as someone motivated by a need to get back to someone he loved very much, so changing it to a man really does not change his motivation much.

Actually, when Mercedes Mason (Ofelia) was asked on "Talking Dead" how she thought Ofelia would fare if Daniel died she did not hesitate to speculate about it. Given how much the show values guarding secrecy about what happens the fact she did not hesitate to speculate about this suggests that she knows that it does…

We learned from Colman Domingo's appearance a couple of weeks ago on "Talking Dead" that in between season 1 and 2 they changed their minds and decided that the "Abigail" was not named for a wife or daughter of Strand's, but for his male lover. So whatever plan they might have now, they could still change them. Here…

On "Talking Dead" Jim Gaffigan floated the theory that the boy we see in the flashback is Daniel as a boy. Mercedes Mason (Ofelia) said we will find out what was going on in the flashback in the next episode. I hope Gaffigan is right. That sounds potentially more interesting than just a flashback to something evil he…

It's not weak if you like overused cliches - Will Daniel hesitate at the wrong moment costing him his life? No, just fake drama.

Before tonight, the only characters I cared about were Strand, Nick, and Daniel. After tonight I feel the same, but Daniel is becoming less interesting. Unless he has some spooky superstitious reason to get rid of the owl coin as fast as possible, he just made himself look like a dick in front of the others by not…

The preview I saw he is in great pain and still impaled. Maybe you should pay closer attention.

Stannis Baratheon is played by Stephen Dillane. Nick is played by Frank Dillane. Stephen Dillane is Frank Dillane's father.

Your knowledge or medicine is not as strong as the medical experts they consult to make sure that what they show is as realistic as possible. The simple fact is that people can be impaled by an object and survive. You can't criticize a show for being lazy about what is possible when you are so ill-informed about the…

You are aware that "Lost" didn't invent the flashback, right?

The answer is: No one pronounces DOUG as DEW, but his name isn't DOUG. It's DOUGRAY and the first syllable is DOU not DOUG. Understand now, Mr. Christmas? Or are you Mr. Dunne?

You are reading it wrong. It's not DOUG—RAY, It's DOU—GRAY. How you say it depends on where you see the syllables split. The G isn't with the DOU.
