Gotta love Hanso.

Great episode, and excellent review.

My guess is Lori really knows already, and just didn't want to say anything.

Hey there Hanso! Love ya, buddy.

You too Millean, and anyone else who mentioned me in my absence.

No doubt Tim has done a fine job. I'm kind of jealous, because I love being in the middle of these discussions and I came late to the party late on this one.

I'll just reinterate what I said earlier and what I've read from more than a few people, but Lori's reaction was completely out of left field. She had been saying she had Rick's back. Promising Rick, no matter what, the baby was his. Until that last episode it seemed since Rick was back, Shane made her skin crawl, and she only softened on that in the finale when she tried to have a heart-to-heart with him when he was repairing that weather vein or whatever it was.

There's no doubt the baby is Shane's and maybe that will be reveale next season. The only reason I can tolerate her now is I'm hoping her (hopefully eventual and soon) demise amps Rick's paranoia and dark side up even higher.

Hey guys, just wanted to check in with my 2 cents. I was on a plane the last two Sundays so couldn't watch or review either show. Just got around to watching both episodes last night.

Personally I enjoyed watching without the obligation to criticize and review, so the experience was different for me, and I enjoyed that freedom. Not to say I wasn't checking it out with a critical eye, but it's nice to watch leisurley, and not rewind while taking notes.

Loved Michonne at the end. I do agree with some of Tim's comments. I wasn't sure how a random helicopter, followed by other random nosies led an army of undead to Hershell's farm. I'd have bought the power of smell, but the sound thing was fairly random.

Very interested in watching Rick's character get darker. Lori is an unsympathetic character, and not very realistic much of the time. Not of fan of that character. She just doesn't ring true as an actual human being.

I'll check out all the comments when I geta chance, but I did enjoy the episode, and look forward to next season.

Damn, this episode sparked some conversation. Great to see it. I've read all the comments, but I'm wrapping up my latest book so I don't have time to respond. Loving the passion though.

wish, as to your spoiler alert......

SPOILER........

That's the way it is in the books, so that makes sense. Now I have to go back and look at Rick's face to see if he's trying to conceal a secret when he and Shane deduce it might be from scratches.

Hey everyone,

Don't think I'm going to get a chance to address each comment this week, but glad to see most everyone enjoyed this ep. ... except for jyasnr. I have no idea how you prefered this episode over last week's, but you are he one who is clearly in the minority. If you liked last week better, maybe you should go back and watch Falcon's Crest on Hulu instead.   ;)

totaman, I see that side of it, and while I haven't bothered calling T-Dog a token here, I'm not bothered by it either. I don't assume it's said with any malice. I think I try to police my comment boxes pretty well, but again, I understand your point.

I do hope we see both Tyreese and Michonne - she is bad ass.

goldeneyz, T-Dog would not be my go-to guy for comic relief. Glenn handles that very well, along with all the other duties they throw at him. T-Dog black or white is a useless character lately.

Jonny Rotten, I assume the arm was just to show how desensitized everyone is by this point, but I did feel like it needed a bigger pay off.

Mr Jaw, I did, it's possible.

DaForce, yes, it was mentioned earlier inthese boxes. Still my indignation at her following her cop husband who had back-up, while she was pregnant stands. - AND, yes, there are some interesting divisions going on among the group. Alliances are being formed and will be demolished shortly after is my guess.

tjanson, it was very pissy, very soap opera-ish. I can handle it for a filler ep, but I was hoping for a better one. Hoping next week is an A.
