IGN News : Walking Dead Season 4 Confirmed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dhRbM_BDnI

I find it very eye opening that the second showrunner is bailing on the show. Think about it, Frank Darabont left for the same reasons when AMC started meddling. I get the feeling that the Corporate Suits at AMC think they are the reason why the show is successful and therefore they should be allowed to get involved with day to day operations of the show. If this keeps up, I find it very hard to see this series lasting longer than 5 Seasons regardless of how well it does in the ratings.

AMC Called “Small-Minded” In Wake Of Shocking “Walking Dead” News

Quote
This morning we dropped the bomb that, even with the renewal of a fourth season, AMC had parted ways with “The Walking Dead“ showrunner Glen Mazzara.

The release was issued jointly, citing creative differences – you know, where the artist gives up in attempting to deal with the powerful suits. I’ve heard through the grapevine that an alleged huge issue that has lingered with the series is that AMC is always trying to cut budget, even though it’s one of the biggest shows on cable. I’ve also heard that, because AMC has no partners (with “Mad Men” they are partnered with Lionsgate TV), there’s nobody to tell them “no.”

Anyways, some AMC alum have been vocal, with “Sons Of Anarchy” creator Kurt Sutter, pictured below, taking to Twitter on Friday calling the network executives “small-minded, bottom-line thinkers who have no appreciation or gratitude for the effort of its creative personnel.” Caught by Deadline, he also warned that without Mazzara at the helm the “future is dim” for “The Walking Dead”. Read his full assembled rant inside.

Says Kurt Sutter: “AMC is run by small-minded, bottom-line thinkers who have no appreciation or gratitude for the effort of its creative personnel. Time and time again we see events like what happened today with Glen Mazzara. They continue to disrespect writers, **** on their audience and bury their network. Mazzara took the work-in-progress that was “Walking Dead” and turned it into a viable TV show with a future. Without him, that future is dim. Showrunners are not development executives, we’re not cookiecutter ****s that you plug into a preexisting model. TWD will suffer. Even Zombies need consistency. “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” will be gone soon. So will AMC. I hope their f*cking stock takes a dive and the shareholders line up (Josh) Sapan, (Charles) Dolan and (Charlie) Collier and **** in their open hands. C*nts.”

Like I said, I doubt TWD will make it past 5 Seasons, if they are lucky to get that far. I just don't understand why a Company like AMC would kill it's Golden Goose by meddling in something they have no business in. They are literally biting the hand that feeds them. Ugh!!

Michonne's on a horse (and more!) in 1st poster for Walking Dead S4

Quote
One of the best things about Comic-Con is the awesome promotion. You get to see custom-made trailers, footage and posters. One of the convention's most popular panels is AMC's The Walking Dead. Every year, it's preceded by great marketing and this time is no different. The network just released the first teaser poster for Season 4 and it's overrun by zombies.

Four members of the cast take center stage. The poster features Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman) all wielding their favorite weapons: a gun, crossbow, sword and hammer. The new season can't get here fast enough. Michonne is on a horse, guys. We repeat, Michonne is on a horse.

AMC's The Walking Dead Season 4 Preview Weekend Marathon Launches July 4

(http://blogs.amctv.com/the-walking-dead/TWD-S3B-Key-Art-560-v2.jpg)

Quote
Starting Thu., Jul. 4 at 1PM/12c AMC invites viewers to tune-in to "The Walking Dead Season 4 Preview Weekend" and catch up on the series that has been hailed by USA Today as "one of the season's best series," and reigns as the number one show in delivery for adults 18-49. The Walking Dead marathon will be hosted by Comic Book Men executive producer Kevin Smith from the Atlanta-based set where the cast are currently filming Season 4 of the hit series. Smith talks to the cast and crew and shares behind-the-scenes footage from the highly anticipated upcoming fourth season. The first season of The Walking Dead airs twice on Jul. 4, featuring marathons of both the original and special black-and-white editions. These are followed by Season 2 on Fri., and Season 3 on both Satu. and Sun. Each day of this four-day event begins at 1PM/12c. (However, the black-and-white editions only apply to Season 1 on Jul. 4).

The Walking Dead returns this October with brand new episodes. Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, The Walking Dead tells the story of a group of survivors who travel in search of a safe and secure home in the months and years following a zombie apocalypse. The series stars Andrew Lincoln, David Morrissey, Steven Yeun, Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, Chandler Riggs, Lauren Cohan, Scott Wilson, Melissa McBride, Chad Coleman, Sonequa Martin-Green and Emily Kinney.

So I take it that the marathon will just be behind the scenes interviews on location and no actual new scenes from the upcoming Season? Perhaps a world premiere Season 4 Trailer? I think it will most likely be saved for a Comic Con Panel premiere if there is one in the works.

Agreed. Not only that, I think this is going to literally take the series in a whole new direction. I loved Season 3, but part of me felt like both the characters and the viewers were hijacked and stuck in the same place. It was either prison or woodland. I want to see them get out more and more....scavenge for food and whatnot and now, throwing in a mole makes it better.

And that's what the people on the side are slowly finding out. Those folks who never gave this a chance because they thought it was lots of gory walking dead. They are starting to find out there some pretty serious drama, characters, tension, everything. The zombies are just one of the motivations to survive.

Waah! 'Walking Dead' is getting a zombie baby (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Smilies/0%20All%20Smilies/449326.gif)

Quote
Forget walkers. AMC's zombie drama "The Walking Dead" is bringing a crawler to the hit show when it returns this fall.

Star Danai Gurira, who plays survivor Michonne, told TVGuide.com that "there's a little hint of that (baby) in the premiere."

Robert Kirkman, the show's executive producer and author of the graphic novels the drama is based on, also confirmed the news to TV Guide. "It'll be something different from the baby who was seen in 'Dawn of the Dead' remake which was horrific and done so well," he said. "There's still room for us to do something different and cool."

Sound crazy? Perhaps. But showrunner Scott Gimple did tease at Comic-Con earlier this month that season four is "going to get insane very quickly." And the man would know: He wrote the first episode.

There have been child zombies on the show (RIP, Sophia and Penny!), but no infant yet. Well, no infant unless you count Lil' Ass Kicker, as Daryl likes to call Rick's newborn, but she's no undead wailer. (Or will she be?!)

But all this talk makes us wonder: How and what would a baby zombie eat? Assuming it really is an infant and not a toddler with chompers, it would have no teeth to bite with. Zombies aren't exactly known for taking care of each other, so it's hard to imagine a mama zombie feeding her young like a mother bird might feed her hatchlings. (So gross it might just work for "Walking Dead"!)

Then again, it seems the zombies on "The Walking Dead" don't have to eat to survive. (Remember the poor guy who hung himself from a tree? Yeah, he's still chomping at the air.)

Cry on, little one. We'll meet you Oct. 13 on AMC when "The Walking Dead" kicks off its season four.

That was a very good discussion. Some pretty interesting ideas going on there. That's what makes Walking Dead what it is.

This show could have gone the fanboy route and be nothing but gross zombies and fighting and been over in 6 episodes.

Now throw what if elements in. Yes, it gets complicated, but ya know that's what life is and that can very interesting.

Thanks for the post.

Interesting episode that kinda took me a bit off guard with everything being "serene and idyllic". Well, as happy as one can concievably get in the land of the dead. I think what took me by surprised was how large the cast has gotten. Sure, they are going to become fodder throughout the season, but to see so many people after basically living with the small band of survivors took a bit getting use to. The other thing was, where did all the kids come from? It's just weird seeing any other kid that isn't named Carl.

So, 6-8 months have passed since the end of last season. They have carved out their little community and basically turned the prison into another 'Woodbury'. Speaking of Woodbury, I'm so glad that place is done. I couldn't stand that place anymore and even better, no Governor. I think I enjoyed this episode more because of those two things not being featured. Some gnarly looking walking stuff happening in this one, especially the 'Raining Zombies' sequence. What's the deal with that one black dude that was trapped under the shelf massage and feeling inside that walkers head? Is he some sicko that gets off on this? Yuck.

The ending definitely opens up what this season will become. With the kid getting sick and seemingly dropping dead on the spot and then turning to a Walker, I can only imagine what next week's episode will be. Bloody. So, do we have an airborne virus that made him sick? Or is it bad pork that he may have eaten which contaminated him? I only bring up pork because they highlight the pig that dies. Not sure if the two are in fact connected or I miss something else all together.

It didn’t help the nerdy kid coughed all his undead juices into the open container of water. Holy crap, what did happen to him? Virus’s can mutate. Can they now go airborne? He was preparing food.

What happened to the hog?

We knew Beaver would never make it back. It just seems the show spotlighted that future demise. And Beth was rather creepy, in an undead kind of , with the news of Beav’s death.

Scott Gimple (Writer) was on The Talking Dead, suggesting that every scene is a set up for a future episode. He said, things are going to get very bad and bloody very quickly.

Infected
(http://i.imgur.com/PavQhZ0.gif)


I've never been more unnerved watching an episode of TWD as I did with this one. For starters, knowing that there was someone within the walls purposely feeding rats to the Walkers made me uneasy. The idea that there is someone or more that had zero regard for the safety of others and would do that.....ack! But the biggest thing that had me on the edge of my seat was the kid that turned last week and is walking around the cell block looking for a snack. Man, this episode was brutal to watch. A lot of blood and gore. More than I can remember ever seeing on a single episode. The ending also had me wondering as to who torched the two people that were infected. My guess is that it was Glenn.

It's good to see that Rick is back. Happy Rick is just.....odd. Time for him to take the reigns again. Giving that one girl a knife is going to come back and bite Carol in the ass. I don't trust that girl one bit and I'm pretty sure she along with her sister are the ones feeding rats to the walkers.

(http://i.imgur.com/vtSznvh.gif)



To put it bluntly, I did not like this episode at all. I'll go a step further and say that it was to the point where I began to question whether or not I wanted to continue on with the show. So what could possible be that bad to do that? For starters, it was boring.....and stupid. The writers took a character that was and is a fan favorite and just made her dumb. Why the f*ck would Carol, the one that preaches being prepared suddenly go outside the prison to fix the water hose and to do it alone. What is even dumber than that is her nonchalant attitude with Walkers closing in on her. It just didn't make any sense at all other than the writers "needed to do something". Running out of ideas are we? Her reveal at the end being the murderer wasn't even all that surprising to me. I suspected early on that it was her and not Glenn.

Gotta agree... They really drug this one out.

A couple of gotchas, but otherwise, very lackluster show.

Talking Dead struggled too. Marilyn Manson constantly diverted the show with WTF comments. Jack Osborn, was kinda goofy, agreeing with everything. Gale Ann Hurd, just teasing stuff. Very frustrating hour.

I guess this is good news for TWD fans, but the last episode still leaves a bad taste in my mouth to not really care about it being renewed. I just hoped that what we got last week was an anomaly and doesn't start to suck and go downhill.

I'm thinking it was just a minor arc, setting up all kinds of things to go down. We have main characters getting sick. Carl is well, hmmmm. Now the infection is inside. Someone is playing with the dead. Carol is changing. Rick is changing again. I’m sure we are going to be seeing the Governor sometime in the near future. A lot went on, but in a subtle way.

I thought the renewal was a no brainer.

Especially if they are considering a spin-off

Well there had been other series that had proposed spin-offs that never materialize because the main show started to tank. Heroes anyone? After watching last weeks episode, I immediately thought of the former series and how it all went wrong. But to be fair to TWD, Heroes sucked from the moment the Season One Finale aired. TWD at least has been consistently good thus far.

Indifference
(http://i.imgur.com/SW1TShG.gif)



Rick is such a f*cking hypocrite! How many times did he just react to the situation in front of him that necessarily wasn't the right choice to make over the course of 3 seasons? Yes, Carol maybe reacted a bit prematurely, but she only did what anyone in this new world would do in order to survive. I thought this was a much better episode for Carol, especially over the previous episode. I don't think she will be banished for long as Darryl will no doubt go out looking for her. Another thing that I really liked about this episode was the fact that it was all out on the road. I'm so sick of everything be done in and around the Prison. It's dull. Sending them out beyond the walls give the viewer some room to breath and it opens it up for unexpected moments as well.

Post by: Mac on November 04, 2013, 06:05:06 am
Ya, Ricky has got a lot of ‘splaining to do.

Can Rick lie through this? I think he would be a fool to try.

But at the same time, how can Carol come back with Tyrese, an emotional time bomb, and have no qualms about killing Carol for her actions, even though we all know she’s doing the right things to survive. Until Tyrese gets out of the picture, Carol coming back will be problematic. We may just start seeing a tear in the fabric of the community.

I think Carol is going to end up in the clutches of The Governor, much in the same way that Andrea did. No, I don't see them becoming an item, but I do see him kidnapping her and trying to use her as leverage against Rick and more importantly Michonne. And I actually foresee Tyrese actually being the one to initiate some sort of rescue mission (when he realizes that their group is falling apart because of a divide they have. Pro/Con), one that Rick will object to but will have to do it anyway when he realizes that it's gonna happen with or without him.

I think Tyrese will finally see the bigger picture here (something that seems to elude Rick these days) and when Tyrese puts the past behind him and starts to take on the role that Carol has been doing, there will be a light bulb that comes on over his head, leading him to mount the rescue. This time, they will succeed where they failed Andrea and this would be the perfect time for Michonne to kill The Governor. Well, that's how I'd like to see it play out anyway.

Caution - Spoilers

The Hollywood Reporter caught up with McBride to discuss Rick's decision and how Carol will fare solo. Plus how will Daryl respond to his closest friend at the prison no longer being there?

Q: Rick has kicked Carol out of the prison! What was your first response when you read the script?
A: I didn't see that coming! I was pretty floored and I love it. I liked where it went. I looked at it from the story and thought, "God, how ironic." This choice that Rick has made, there's so much going on and so many parallels. There are so many ways to turn what's going on here to find these parallels between Rick and Carol, between what she's done and what everyone has done in some way. I can't help but really like the way that this went down.

Were you worried that you were being written out of the show? Will Carol be back?
No, I wasn't worried. We don't know if she'll be back! (Laughs.) I can't say! I can't wait until everyone sees how this season plays out. It's going in so many directions.

If this was it for Carol, would you be satisfied?
That's a tough question because I like not knowing. I can only imagine what the hell she's up to out there and what she's going to do. I like that aspect, but then it's so abrupt and weird. It's so hard to understand and to completely banish her, it's flooring.

Do you think Carol deserved to be banished from the group?
No. It's interesting Rick wants to go on this run and bring her along for it. They're testing one another, it seems. She knows what happened to Shane (Jon Bernthal) and questions what's going on there. Rick is feeling the same way and wondering what's going on with her. Obviously when she took the risk, Carol knew there would be consequences if she had to confess or if anyone found out.

It's interesting that you mention the timeline. There's a theory that Carol is covering for Lizzie (Brighton Sharbino), who in this episode reveals that she's not afraid to kill people.
I'm sure Carol did it. But did she want Rick to find out? Hence the episode title, "Indifference." That's an interesting title for this and that attitude toward some of the things that Carol felt had to be done, because there was a more pressing matter that all goes back to the things we have to do in this world to survive and can we come back from them? There's a bit of that at play: Rick pulling Carl (Chandler Riggs) in and taking his gun away after he shot and killed the boy. There's also a part of Rick that obviously doesn't trust Carol because he sees what she's capable of now -- he's seen a lot of what she's capable of in this episode. I don't know what else she's capable of, had it been someone else besides Karen. What if it had been one of our original Atlanta people? What would she have done then? She's going about this with a very single mind and not talking to other council people, and that's frightening. That threatens his position of leadership, even though he had taken a backseat to it and didn't come to the council meetings -- which she and the group really wanted him to attend since his voice is important. She's wanting to be caught and wanting Rick to do something.

Could Carol attempt to return to the prison for Lizzie and Mika (Kyle Kenedy)?
I certainly hope so. She knows someone has to take care of them because that was Ryan's (Victory McKay) dying request. Her heart is broken, and I would hope she finds a way back, but I don't know. Plus she's got the crappy car! Rick took the good one!

How will we see Rick explain her absence when he returns? How will that go over with everyone? Will he tell Tyreese (Chad Coleman)?

That remains to be seen. Is he going to tell them exactly what happened? Will he make something up? Is he going to tell everyone that she killed Karen and David? Is he going to tell them why? Is he going to tell them why he left her? There were other options, and he could have brought her back if he was worried about her killing other people. She told him: Karen and David were suffering. Was it a mercy kill before they had an opportunity to turn? That's what's so weird about that ending: Why is banishing her the only option? I understand he didn't trust her and felt uncomfortable and uncertain about what she's capable of, but is there something else going on with Rick personally about his ability to lead and make decisions and trust himself in the decisions he makes? Have both of them gone too far?

Will Rick struggle with his decision to banish her? Do you think he knew what he was doing when they left the prison together?I hope so! (Laughs.)
I'd like to see him struggle with the decision in terms of how he's going to address how Carol isn't there anymore. I hope he takes more time with that than he did deciding to banish Carl from the group. I think throughout the episode, Rick was making his mind up. The more Carol asserted herself, it seems the more his mind was made up. She doesn't back down; she has a mission and I like that about her.

While McBride aka Carol doesn't give anything specific away, she does talk about her ideas of what she thinks will happen.

Internment
(http://i.imgur.com/HN43uYN.gif)


Internment is easily one of the best episode so far and I'm not talking about just this season, but the entire series. The thing about the show is that you can't predict anything. With the amount of characters from the main cast meeting their untimely demise, everyone is fair game as they are on borrowed time. And that's why this episode worked to perfection. Any number of people were bound to go out at some time during the episode: Glenn, Herschel and Maggie were the ones that I thought were doomed. I didn't know if any of them would make it. Intense episode and full of action. High body count. The big kicker comes at the end with the reemergence of The Governor outside the prison.....

Probably has always been there since Woodbury went dark. It's possible that he is the one feeding the rats to the walkers in an effort to draw the walkers to the fence with the intent of having them crowd and then take down the fence. This also implies that he would have always had a way inside the prison in order to do just that.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4 - 2013)

Could be, but the feeding came from the inside. You saying he worked his way inside the fence?

I always thought the rat thing was one of the kids, who really didn't understand the zombie thing.

Yeah, it's possible he has found a way inside and this is nothing more than a game to him. My first thought was that it was one of the kids. Not so sure anymore. It's still a possibility that it's the little girl who gave the Walkers names. But that's too obvious now.

When the episode opened started, I immediately knew that it would basically be an entire episode via flashback to show what the Governor has been up to the past 6 months or. I was somewhat p*ssed......for about a couple of minutes. Then I realized that we needed this episode because I really didn't want to spend the rest of the season wondering what he had been up to and it would slow things down in later episodes if they spent any more time on this. So, good call by the writers. Interesting episode which was all about Governor. The original cast makes no appearances. What I found particularly interesting was how they tried to "humanized" him when he comes across a stranded family, surviving on their own. Do I think the Governor is reformed? Absolutely not. He may be able to toe the line for the time being, but there will come a time (probably by the Season Finale) where he will unleashed his fury again. FYI, that little girl is gonna need a shrink after witnessing some of the most brutal kills in front of her. Yikes.

Post by: Mac on November 18, 2013, 06:26:45 am
I hesitantly agree. I think it was good they gave us the backstory. But it started to drag on. I like the new character of the woman that is tough.

I found it interesting how the Governor’s overall demeanor was portrayed. Quite, humble, non-caring, sick.

Was anybody else besides me thinking the whole time Snake Plissken?

In the beginning of the show, they were showing catch-up, I immediately started thinking again about the other two guys that left with Governor. Why didn’t they immediately blow him away, first chance they got? Are they that stupid? Secondly, where are they now? We have this little gap of him suddenly on his own.

I found it VERY odd, him sleeping in a pup-tent in the middle of nothing.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4 - 2013)
Post by: Chiprocks1 on November 18, 2013, 06:33:19 am
I kinda liked that they just left him. Maybe it was to teach him a lesson that he is an island unto himself therefore he will have to fend for himself....alone. Sure, the smartest thing to do would be to eliminate him. Why would you want to have that in the back of your head that he could resurface later, only to mete out his own personal justice. Well, we are about to see that given the final scene when his former soldier finds him in the pit with the little girl.

Never made the Snake Plissken connection. In hindsight, yeah. But when it was playing out, I didn't see it because all I saw was the 'Governor'. I did laugh at the idea that anyone would think they were secure and protected by a thin piece of nylon fabric.

Looks like hell broke loose with ditching Darabont

Frank Darabont Finally Talks Being Fired From 'The Walking Dead'

Quote
It’s been quite a while now since we found out that Frank Darabont was fired by AMC from his position as showrunner of The Walking Dead. This after only one season of a show he developed for five years; of a show he talked Andrew Lincoln and Jon Bernthal into starring in; of a show that would become explosively popular on its way to becoming one of AMC’s biggest shows of all time, joining titles like Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Darabont has been busy since then working on his next project, Mob City, which looks fantastic and is set to debut on TNT December 4th.

But one thing we’ve never heard is a comment from Darabont himself on the drama that unfolded. Now that changes, with the Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, and The Mist director finally sharing his thoughts. And as you might have imagined, he’s not at all pleased with how things went down.

Continue reading to see what he had to say.

Speaking to Rolling Stone as part of a larger interview you can check out there next months, Darabont was first asked if he’s kept up with the show, with mention that fans of creator Robert Kirkman’s comic weren’t too fond of where things had gone since his firing:

“Have not? Well I wouldn’t know. Because, for the same reason that if the woman that I loved left me for the Pilates instructor and they sent me an invitation to their wedding, for the same reason I wouldn’t go to the wedding, I haven’t seen an episode of The Walking Dead since then.”


Darabont then went deeper into the the subject, saying:

“Look, I really haven’t spoken of this yet – I will, I’ll get there – but I had to take some time off after that to really reassess everything, to really get over the emotional devastation of having some truly malevolent people tear asunder a brilliant family that had gathered to create this hit for them. It was a very, very deep and loving family, the cast and the crew, and to have that torn apart was – when somebody throws a hand-grenade into that situation, it’s tremendously emotionally trying. So would I want to watch another episode of The Walking Dead after that? Are you **** kidding me? No, you put that traumatic disappointment behind you and move on with your life.”

So there that is. After a couple of years of silence on the topic, Darabont has shared his thoughts. And he was and still is clearly as angry about it as everyone assumed he was. And has every right to be.

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! You can take the Governor out of Woodbury, but you can't take Woodbury out of the Governor. I knew that the old Gov would return, but I thought it would be much longer before he eventually snapped. So, when that golf club comes out of nowhere and attacks Martinez, it was a big surprise. Feeding him to the Walkers in the pit was vintage Gov. Nasty. So, now Gov has basically gone out and killed to inherit another Woodbury and of course an Army. Still not sure what's gonna happen once he makes his presence known to Rick and company. I purposely turned off next weeks sneak peak. Don't wanna see what's coming till I'm watching the episode. Cool to see Kirk Acevedo (Oz, Fringe) joining the cast. But how long will that last? Just look at Enver Gjokaj (Dollhouse). He didn't even make it to the end of this episode.

Too Far Gone
(http://i.imgur.com/cTZ9poD.gif)



Man, I am royally p*ssed off at the writers of the show. The decision to kill off Hershel was and is a HORRIBLE decision. Don't care if it's for the "betterment of the story". F*ck that sh*t! In a dark, dark world that is TWD, having him on the show gives the viewers a ray of light with his moral compass and compassion. The show is just going to get even more bleak than it already is. Beyond losing a great character, we are losing a fantastic actor in Scott Wilson. I've never been this sad at losing a fictional character from this show. This sucks big time.

As for the rest of the episode, it didn't take long for me to start screaming for the death of the Governor. As soon as he started his little recruitment speech to "rally the troops", I wanted him dead. What a bunch of sheep's those people are! It didn't take much to convince them to join up, take arms and head off to the prison. Because they were so willing, I wanted them all dead. This episode will be remembered for a lot of things beyond Hershel's swan song. The taking of the Prison was another big moment in the series, the brutal fight between Rick and the Governor and of course Michonne finally getting her retribution against him when she finally skewer's the motherf*cker.

I should have taken some joy in Lily blowing his head off, but I'm p*ssed off at her as well. Her stupidity in letting her daughter play in the mud unattended is the cause of her death. So, f*ck her too! Really not sure what's gonna happen now when the show returns in February. With the Prison now in ruins, everyone has scattered off in different directions. I'm sure they have a destination that was all agreed upon where they should meet. But I think most of the people will be fending for themselves for awhile as they try to regroup.

'Walking Dead's' Norman Reedus gets pranked with real zombie scare

Quote
Norman Reedus knows how to handle a zombie attack — well, at least he does when he's in character on "The Walking Dead." As Daryl Dixon, he stays calm and cool and lets his crossbow do the dirty work. But in real life? Reedus isn't exactly zombie-ready.

That became evident when "Walking Dead" super fan Nick Santonastasso joined forces with show star Andrew Lincoln and special effects go-to guy Greg Nicotero for an elaborate prank.

Santonastasso is no stranger to zombie pranks. The teen, who was born with a rare condition called Hanhart syndrome that left him without legs and with only one arm, makes a habit of dressing up as the undead to shock unsuspecting passersby. But shocking one of his favorite stars proved to be his biggest prank yet.

After traveling to Japan, Santonastasso sat in the makeup chair for the full show-worthy zombie treatment, and then hid in a tablecloth-covered cart until Reedus entered the room for what he thought was a quick promo shoot.

I wasn't aware that TWD returns tonight. I thought it was in 2 weeks because of the Winter Olympics. Usually during the Olympics, all scripted shows go dark because the audience just isn't there.

After
(http://i.imgur.com/vtSznvh.gif)


This was a very frustrating, odd and at times boring episode to sit through. Not what I have been waiting all this time for since the mid-season finale. There was just way too much Carl in this one and on top of that, way too much dumb, idiotic Carl. I get that he is p*ssed, but come on dude, some common sense would go a long way here. As for Michonne, her nightmare was very odd and very out of place. Yes, I get that she is having a small, temporary melt-down, but that doesn't change the fact that the nightmare sequence felt like it was shoehorned in. Add to the fact that she is suddenly talking to herself and you have an episode that just felt weird at every turn. The only scene that really connected in any way was when she found Rick and Carl in the house and she's on the verge of tears. Not sure if she was happy that she found them or if it was because the episode was finally over. I hope next week delivers something really good to make up for this one.

Actually there is one scene that is literally a 'jump out of your seat' scary moment. It's the ONLY time that has ever happened with me on the show where after said moments happens, I could feel the heart racing a little bit faster. Only good thing about the episode for me.

I wasn't really looking forward to this episode because of last week and my big concern was that we were set to get a series of episodes focusing on a specific pairing of characters before they all find each other during the Season Finale. This episode didn't start off in a good way either. I did not want to spend an hour with Beth constantly whining the whole time. Thank God her and Darryl's story was completed by the second commercial break, which led into EVERYONE getting their "where are they now" stories. The biggest surprise and one that actually made me go "hell yeah" was the return of Carol. Very glad to see her back. Question though, did Rick ever tell Tyreese who killed his woman? I can't remember if he did. I'm guessing he didn't because his reaction to seeing Carol was happy.

As for the Children of the Corn Girls, I am even more convinced that Lizzie was the one that actually kiiled Tyreese's woman and that Carol took the fall for Lizzie so that she wouldn't be an outcast with the group. Overall, the episode was way better than last weeks, even with the shaky first 10 minutes. And no, seeing that Tyreese has Baby Judith in his arms was not a shock. I always knew that she was alive. But her crying was freaking me out because she was going draw every Walker their way. *Shudders*

After

I dunno... I kind of dug it. Yes it was slow, but dayum the tension in the air and that was just with two people and their inner demons.

I think it was pivotal. Both for Michone and Karl... separately. Lot going on their internally. A lot of bridging back to the beginnings. Kind of let you see a bit of where they came from.

I'm very encouraged as to what's ahead with regards to story telling (Unlike the huge trip and fall that happened with American Horror Story)

Talking Dead for "After" was pretty good too. Guests were Greg Nicotero and Danai Gurira (Michone). Dayum, she is a beautiful woman. Diametrically opposite of her character.

Danai went on and on about her character which bordered on ad nauseum, but then again, she revealed a lot I had not thought about. Especially her thoughts about the Governor.

Funny show too. Nicotero brought in the animatronic head of Hershel to play with.

Talking Dead is also maintaining it's relevance. Definitely recommend watching it right after the episodes if you can.

No, Tyreese still doesn't know. If you can recall the look on Carol's face when Carol and Tyreese come face to face, she definitely has that look "Does he know? What is going to happen next?"

Lizzie is becoming a very freaky presence. Especially for us viewers. We see it. She has not fully blossomed and making herself known to anyone else... yet.

The baby crying is just on-the-edge-of-your-seat tension. I couldn't even imagine having to deal with that, in the open, with death everywhere around. Hellllll No. The Talking Dead made some pretty good funnies about that.

And speaking of the Talking Dead, they ever so briefly discussed where the TV show is compared to the graphic series (about #50 of #152)? Anyway, the discussion very, very briefly talked about a character coming up in the story telling that is ungodly nasty. I was thinking... more than the Governor?

Really dug this episode a lot, especially the scenes involving Rick and him trying to navigate around the house with other people inside. Some good tension working it's way through each scene. Even got a "scare" moment when Rick hides in the bathroom only to discover one of the men is taking a dump. Haha. That's some scary.....sh*t.  ;D Really glad that Michael Cudlitz has joined the cast as Abraham Ford. I don't know anything about the character because I stopped reading the series way back in Season 1 so that I would have some surprises waiting for me in the series. But I have always been a fan of Cudlitz. Gonna go watch Talking Dead now as he is suppose to be on it as well as Mindy Kaling.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when characters start doing a lot of talking, especially a character like Darryl who hasn't said all that much for 3 1/2 seasons. Suddenly he seems to be giving off one monologue after the other. So naturally, THIS is is swan song episode. THIS is where they are going to kill him. I have never been more on edge and more unnerved watching TWD. After awhile, I figured that the writers were leading us to believe it would be him and that they would in fact turn around and send Beth packing. And then I thought "you know what would be the absolute worst thing they could do here? They are going to kill BOTH of them". Ugh, my stomach was in knots. I kept wishing the episode would get to the damn credits so that I would know both would survive another day. Happy to say, they do. But yeah, this wasn't an easy episode to sit through and all the scary stuff that was playing in my head was far worst than anything that was on the screen. I really liked this episode a lot for that reason alone, as well as getting (finally) more insight into both characters.

Ya know, it's pretty clear that they are going to hook up eventually and of course become attached. Before TWD, this would be called "going steady". After TWD is called....."Surviving". Anyway, whatever you call it, I think it's going to make for a great story line when Darryl finally reunites Carol. Love Triangle! This Soap needs more SUDS!  ;D Gonna go watch Talking Dead now.....

J.B. Smoove was f*cking HILARIOUS on Talking Dead. I've been a fan of his for a long time (ever since Curb Your Enthusiasm). He stole Talking Dead and I knew he would. He was perfect for what the show is about. So much enthusiasm (hey, see what I just did there?  ;) ). I like to see stars getting into a show because they are fans. I don't want to see stars popping up for the sole purpose of hyping something they are working on (I'm talking to you Mindy Kaling!). But yeah, fantastic episode and Norman and Emily was great as well. The hour blew by incredibly fast.

What a great episode. I loved how the opened and closed the episode, especially with the chosen music to underscore the scenes. Sandwiched in between those scenes were some stellar moments, especially those involving Bob and Sasha in particular. Up till now, I have not really cared much for Sasha and that's only because she has always been on the fringe and never gotten a moment to call her own. We finally get some insight into what makes her tick. But it was Bob that benefited the most. Other than the one episode where it was revealed he was an alcoholic, nothing much was done with him. After tonight's episode, I really like the character more.

Also great was the scenes involving Darryl and Beth. So, they are getting closer (nothing has happened other than holding hands once and him trying to tell her she was the reason why he still thinks their are good people out there) and just when things are going good, they are driven apart (by Walkers of course). The kicker is that Beth is kidnapped. But by who? Who damn it! I want to know! I don't think for one second that Darryl is going to flip and become bad just because he seemingly "joined" the Redneck Gang that surrounded him at the end. He's a ninja doing recon work!!!!!

The Grove
(http://i.imgur.com/cTZ9poD.gif)


People are going to be talking about The Grove for as long as the series continues and then some. I went through a few different emotions watching it. First I was like 'what the f*ck' with regards to both girls and their creepy demeanor. They were already f*cked up, one more than the other. Seeing Lizzie going into meltdown mode about not killing Walkers was just the tip of the iceberg and somewhat expected since she has been giving them names all along. It was great writing that there was a "moment" where she finally got it and chose to kill the Walkers that were invading their camp, where she had to fight to save her sister Mika's life. The writing just went to a whole new level of 'Wow' when we least expect it, with no foresight, Lizzie kills Mika. What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! As soon as I saw that, I knew the die was cast and that she would have to be put down.

With all the sh*t that went down, this was first and foremost Melissa McBride's episode. She owned it as Carol and she nailed the anguish and the guilt that she's been carrying for a long time. I knew 100% that with the added guilt of both Mika and Lizzie that she would finally tell Tyreese the big secret that she's been keeping for so long. What I didn't know is whether or not Carol would live beyond this episode. This is TWD. Nothing is set in stone and popular character's aren't safe. Well, she is....for now. Great scene between her and Tyreese.

Man, watching Talking Dead is sad because everyone on the panel, including Melissa McBride, are talking about the girls as if they really are gone. It's like everyone for that split second has forgotten that this is just a show. Still a great post show and I'm glad they had McBride on. But I was also expecting to see both actresses that played the sisters on as well. Oh well.......

This episode was somewhat of a letdown after last week and I totally expected it to be. How do you top something like what went down last week. Also, having a 4 stories running concurrently at the same time in this one kind of diluted it somewhat. This wasn't a bad episode by any stretch. It was still enjoyable. I did like the reunion between Glenn and Maggie in the tunnel. As for Terminus, how come everyone is so gung ho to head to another "safe haven". Did they not learn anything from the fiasco called Woodbury?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the parallel between Dr. Eugene Porter in TWD and Gene Porter in Revolution. Both are Doctors in the apocalypse.

Getting Scott Wilson to return as Herschel one last time was awesome. It immediately elevated this episode up a notch. Granted, his scenes are  all flashbacks, but who cares. As long as we get one last Herschel fix, I'm all good. Really enjoyed the juxtaposition between the 'Upbeat' scenes of Herschel teaching Rick the art of farming and the darker (really dark that is) scenes set in present day in which Rick isn't the same as he use to be. He's more sadistic when it comes to survival and no other scene best exemplifies this when he has his back against the wall, is unarmed and all can do is literally take a bite out of his aggressors, Joe's neck. YIKES!

With that said, this is all about getting to Terminus. We all knew that it would be another Woodbury. But how would it present itself. What are the people like? How will everything reveal itself and hit the fan? We are still somewhat in the dark, but I like that Rick, Daryl, Carl and Michonne are reunited in the Train Car with Maggie and Glenn. That's the cliffhanger. How are they going to get out of this little predicament? Oh, that's easy. Carol to the rescue! Do I think she will bust them out by the first episode of Season 5? Hell no. I'm sure Rick and company are going to be forced manual labor for a few episodes before they get around to their escape. Can't wait for next season to start.

And yes, I'm pretty sure that the Termites kidnapped Beth, even though we never see her and clearly is not inside the Train Car.

A lot of stuff to catch up on starting here....

Second half of the season over all very good. -Disclaimer I do think this is some of the best stuff on TV- The Grove what can I say the best. I thought it was going to go one way then the other. The only thing that was worse for me was Carl shooting his mom. Andrea's death surprised me I did not see them killing off the hot chick. THe death of both of -the children of the corn, really Chip- girls caught me off guard. I thought 1 of them would make it. Then Carols confession also.

Beth- I thought I saw a cross in the back window of the car that left with her I think she is back at the mortuary or with their group.

New people 4? of them. Tara- glad to see her join the show, Glen could have just left her there or shot her. I think it shows how you have to do everything you can to survive. Of course Glen is the only one? that knows she is from the governors group. The rest of them how much screen time did they have?

Thats the one issue I have with this show is they only make 16. Then to split the season. To cover 4 or 5 story lines over 8 episodes its too much. I did not like watching and not seeing a major character(s) for 2-3 episodes. I feel they could do a 2 hour finally even 90 min.

Looking forward to next season.
