Surely he killed Hershel because he was still hoping to horribly torture Michonne. Wasn't Milton clear on that point?

Too bad about the show. In the hands of someone other than Lorre the toilet sniggering might not have swamped the real promise the show had (and Allison Janney!).

Likewise. The more I think about the episode, the worse it gets. There are enough shows that reward critical scrutiny or that even hold up just as narrative entertainment that I can't justify very well continuing to watch TWD.

"Hi, my name's Carol. Around two weeks ago I killed the woman you loved a couple of hours after you strolled with her to quarantine [Ep 4.2, 23m10s in].

My point remains that it was not at all possible to be clear that the disease killed Patrick.

Huh—speaking of angry, resentful assholes, Steve…

Keep in mind that, while I agree, Carol appears not to. Failing to have her or Tyrese put down rr track walker completely undermines arguments against Lizzie-walker.

It strikes me that, somehow, those might have been two different groups of people.

How could they? They'd have to go the route of something like,

for the comics.

I had to keep closing my mouth while reading issues 75-85, where it seemed like Rick was getting someone killed every issue. It was around #85, I think, where after getting yet more people killed at the walled community, Kirkman, wholly unironically, has Rick declare that having meetings and apportioning tasks is the…

"Jibe".

Instead, Fleming (who also made the humorous teen-girls-at-Watergate opus Dick)…

Great description.

Ellison never did grow up, did he?

Yeah. That must be it. Because in contrast the percentage of male roles that are well written studies of complex characters in much, much higher.

S/he needs to be careful, why? Because angry, resentful types are going to act like assholes?

Just curious, but do women viewers actually want more female actresses in films?

In a phenomenon that can only be described as “jeez, tell us something we don’t know,” a study by the Center for Study of Women in Television and Film reports that
only 15 percent of film protagonists—and only 30 percent of speaking roles, period—are female characters.

I would have liked to see a shot at redemption through Lizzie and Mika once she pulls back from her current bout of madness, but I think the writers know they're already in over their heads with Rick and Korl. This would have gone better, too, with and actress closer to Korl's age. That way you get Carol's refiguring…
