The Walking Thread (SPOILERS!!)
Newt, didn't that happen in the prison? Then Carl killed the crazy one? I missed that episode, but knew Rick took his gun.

Yes it did. Probably. I read Walking Dead like, two or three years ago, if not longer. I barely remember it these days. I haven't been keeping up with it, either. A certain character died in issue 200 and that's what settled never reading it again for me.

Has that character appeared in the show yet?

Yes. This character has. And the way they killed this character in the comic was too much for me. It was basically an issue of "Let's torture this character" and then at the end, they killed that character. If you're familiar with Game of Thrones, imagine watching all of the Theon torture scenes, only replace Theon with someone you like, like maybe Jon Snow, or Bron. Then, replace the castration scene with beating <YourFavoriteCharacter> in the face with a baseball bat for like, five panels. I'm not sickened by gore. But seeing someone I cared for being beaten with a baseball bat for that long genuinely made me feel ill. I stopped reading Walking Dead for good after Issue 200. Great job, Kirkman.

As an aside, if you're unfamiliar with Game of Thrones, hopefully someone else will get the comparison, haha.

Honestly, I could change my subtitle from "The Amphibian" to "The Comic Guru" I have so many comics it's depressing. If I didn't know better I'd assume I was too geeky for my own good.

I get it, and I know who you're talking about too :(

Kirkman likes to do everything he can to make the readers/viewers miserable. He's stated this fact himself. When the governor died, Kirkman had him shot by a new character that no one (readers/viewers) had an emotional connection with. He said himself that he wanted it to be unsatisfying for the fans.

I felt like that with the show too. I mean, his end was way too fast and brief for me to feel pleased about seeing him dead.

He has also menchend that he did not like how the Governor was offed, so he made it so that he could be offed three times on the show. So there's that.

So, anyone else think Terminus is where the cannibals are residing?

I don't know what is going on with Terminus, but I do know a few things.

1. We are going to see the death of at lest one person (possibly part of the main group seeing as Rick looked very worse for ware) and it's most likely going to happen near the end of the next episode (kinda like Andrea's death last season).

2. Shit is going to hit the fan very soon. With everyone headed to the same place and the guys Rick beat up right tight behind him, we are going to get a stand off in the "peaceful" town. Someone is going to claim someone's ass, though I think that Joe is going to stay alive for a bit longer to be the big bad of season 5.

Also, is it okay if I start calling Mary "Tasha"? When she came on I said to myself "I know her from somewhere" and it took the Talking Dead to tell me it was Denise Crosby.

I don't know why, but when I saw they were having some sort of BBQ. I imagined they are probably killing and cooking the walkers. Which could be an interesting plot point.

It seemed a bit too perfect, I thought it was going to be some sort of military camp, but now it just seems like its going to be a random camp that people just set up.

Also my fucking God Eugene is the most cringe worthy character holy fuck.

I bet if he found a fedora he go and wear it right there.

You're right. Cooking and feeding walkers to humans or vis-versa wold be intersting. *Cough*video game*cough*

Am I the only one who wanted to punch Eugene in the mouth when he started talking about video games. I mean really. Now's not the time to do that.

I think Eugene is supposed to be an unlikable character. At least in some aspects. He's a perv. he's somewhat derpy. He's socially awkward and

Terminus is likely Cannibal City, but I'll keep my eyes open. It's certainly no safe haven.
