I don't think anyone took him down with a brain shot, did they?<br /><br />Is that the Governor's last bucket of balls, cuz if it is shouldn't he be blasting them somewhere toward the center of Pleasantville where it's safe to bend over and pick them up?<br /><br />Couldn't Carl the Walking-Shane-Killer have shot Mommy first so she didn't have to endure the torture of being carved up like a Thanksgiving bird? Different story if they were 'shallow cuts', but this was never going to end well for Lori.

Interesting comment on Last Resort, because I actually do like his wife a lot. And I actually like Jess on Homeland, too. I wasn't aware people were hating her until I read it in EW.

He had to stop the killer within from emerging. It's a fantastic title.

He quite clearly said something along the lines, of "NO, OH NO", when he reached out to Carl, Carl kept on walking. That's when Rick completely fell apart.

Lori seemed to be there to undermine Rick and to have had an affair to upset him. <br /><br />I wonder how people feel about Scott Speedman's wife on Last Resort, who is very supportive of him. Though again, that seems to be her reason for existence.<br /><br />Re: Lori. I had Darla flashbacks.<br /><br />I watch The Talking Dead after and they read people's tweets.

I think Michonne should just leave her there and go.<br /><br />I cried so much in this episode, and I didn't even like Lori.<br />Regarding the Entertainment Weekly article about the wives, I don't believe the viewers alone are to blame, at least not usually. As a feminist, I always try to think hard why I dislike a female character, and I 've reached the conclusion that female characters are just often written as more obnoxious, and, practically always, the funny, geeky character that the majority of viewers will love is male.<br /><br />Personally, I dread a Daryl-Mearl reunion.<br /><br />Ugh, I knew I should have never begun watching this show!
