1. They covered the abortion issue last season keep up. Bad character decision maybe but in no way bad writing.

2. Oh yeah lets go out where we just saw two sets of walkers going down both adjacent hallways and go look for a dude with one leg and a chick that you don't know where the **** she is I'm sure all the ******* zombies will just ignore you.

You fail at every level but trolling.

Did I ever say it was bad writing? I said it was further demonstration of Lori being an idiot. The only way it was bad is the fact it doesn't make me sad that she's dead. But it's not like the writers could have salvaged her character after two seasons of being a complete incompetent dumbass. Honestly, I applaud them for having the balls to just cut the dead weight and kill her off. Further kudos for putting the blunt of the damage all on Carl.

I know I stretched it with the helicopter stuff but you guys are acting like a couple of Twilight fangirls. If you can't tolerate negative viewpoints, may I suggest Reddit, where all the comments are ranked by likes and unpopular opinions are hidden. If you wanna talk like adults, I'm more than willing to have a discussion. For instance, I personally loved TDKR but I know a lot of people didn't. However, I don't go into the TDKR thread and call them trolls and demand they leave the thread immediately for having a different opinion. I may disagree with their reasons and I don't think a lot of them hold weight but I don't belittle them or cry like a child. As for TWD, I watch the show and while I like some elements, a lot of it leaves a lot to be desired. Simple as that.

I also found this hilarious. It wasn't atrocious acting but something about how he leaned into Carl's face cracked me up.

When I first saw that part live, for a split second I was confused, because with the gestures of both characters and the tone of Rick's voice it seemed as if Rick was making fun of his son, because his son had lost a baseball game or something. I'm sure that out of context clip will be used in future internet scuffles.

Pretty much this. I mean it's one thing to criticize a show, but it's another to not look at both sides of the coin (good and bad) and just focus on the negative week after week. And this just isn't directed at one person.

That's exactly how I read it too.

Meh. The Alex is a troll. He has nothing constructive to add, so I'm happy to put him on my ignore list.

With the final scene, I completely bought Ricks breakdown. I'm not married or anything so I have no idea what sort of emotions would be going through his head, but to have gone through so much together in the past 12 months or so, I imagine him going completely crazy is 100% plausible. I bought into it completely.

[vidae]

I buy his emotions, but that scene was laughably bad. His reaction was just.. off. It looked like he was joking. I half expected him to go Nooooooo! haha, jk y'all, she was a *****.

I didn't hate the scene where Lori was talking to Carl, but I didn't love it either.

Overall I'm just glad she is dead. That is, without a doubt, the worst TV character I've ever seen. Yes, even worse than Sheldon from BBT.

I hope the writers killed her off so quickly this season because they realized she was loathed by the entire audience. I have literally never seen a single person praise or support Lori.

[MetSox17]

I was just happy she got put down like a rabid dog.

Offscreen. Until we see a corpse on this show, they aren't finished. There is still a chance for zombie Lori.

[vidae]

Zombie Lori will be a more fleshed out and believable character than regular Lori, so I'm ok with it.

To each their own. But I had no problem with the scene. A little melodramatic perhaps, but Rick has gone through so much hardship and pain that I found it completely plausible for exactly that kind of thing to happen. Ultimately it's difficult to really know how someone would react in such a situation.

I'm going with option B, clearly the superior choice for myself, you, your father and everyone else we know.

Yeah its cute that you likened me to a twilight fangirl and expected that to be the end of it. But you quoted a post that directly ridiculed the writing and added on. I have no problem with negative viewpoints in this very thread I've called T-Dog the most useless character in all of television and their constant divergence away from the comic story line is something I really don't like. But, when I think someone is being over critical or ultimately wrong about a character or story line I say they are wrong but I guess I should just stay quiet and allow others their fun right? I think the biggest thing for me is that TWD isn't a show that claims any form of realism but whenever something unrealistic happens people want to **** all over it. I think Neil DeGrasse Tyson said it best. "If the director doesn't care about accuracy why should I? I'll just let it go."



I don't think the telling people to leave thing was about me because I don't think I've ever told anyone to leave (maybe you I don't remember). But the thing is the thread was made for people who enjoy the show to discuss it. I don't wander into threads about shows that I don't like and talk a bunch of ****. If I don't like a show after three episodes I stop. I don't know what you want to accomplish by constantly coming into the thread and nit picking when I don't think you've ever said one thing positive about the show.

[Brothgar]

I'm not going to lie though that scene was aweful :/

[Smooth Criminal]

Lori sucks. I hate so many of the wives on the shows I watch. They all suck. Lori was so annoying.

so is your spelling. that scene had me crying like a little *****.

bad comparison. she was already dead and not turned yet

[Dr. Gonzo]

Season two was one of the biggest piece of **** seasons I have ever seen. That was some later years Heroes ********. That said I think this season has been a huge improvement. I expect a whole hell of a lot from the show. So many allegorical points can be made using the zombie apocalypse as a back drop. There is just so much depth lacking from the show and what pains me most is I see the potential is there. This season has had it's fair share of groan moments but on a whole it is an improvement and I hope the show continues to get better.

this scene hit home with me. maybe a little to much. i completely buy his reaction in every way. my wife had major complications during child birth and i lost her for a short time. during that time i was an absolute mess. i dont really remember my exact reaction, but her family refuses to bring the subject up in front of me because they are scared of reaction now, 3 years later. so, i completely buy him melting down and speaking jibberish between sobbs.

as far as Lori goes. see ya, *****. she needed to go. its just a shame it took this long. all we can hope for now is zombie Lori. i like the idea of zombie Lori roaming the halls of the prison alot.

[SuperMcGee]

I love how there's that emotional, personal paragraph, followed up by "see ya, *****"

I very much enjoy remembering that she's done every time I see this thread.

[Caddy]

King Carl bringing the emotion to the thread. I'm glad it worked out ok for you!

[Ness]

I wonder if Carl really shot Lori in the head.

[vidae]

Well since he's 100% unable to miss the head when he fires his gun for some reason, I'm going to go with yes, he hit her in the head.

If she is alive. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

But all the interviews they've done seem to indicate this won't happen...

[Ness]

We shall see.
