I had pretty much figured Sophie was dead, but it never occured to me she might be in the barn! what a plot twist!

I loved how it really made you conflicted about them shooting all of those walkers in the barn. At first, you're like "I don't care about the ones in the barn and they are a threat." but then... you see Sophia and then you understand how Hershel felt about the walkers in the barn.
 
You guys might want to put a spoiler alert for those who haven't watched it yet. I would have hated to have that spoiled for me.

Everything put in hide tags.

Agreed though, I hadn't had a chance to watch the episode yet... Fortunately it's what I figured would happen. :(
 
I deeply apologize! I completely forgot that there would be people that haven't seen it already.

Thx Kelmar :D
 
So Hershal knew about Sophie the whole time and neglected to say anything?

They explained it on the after show that Hershel had made the comment that Otis was the one who brought the zombies back, and we all know what happened to Otis. So Hershel probably wouldn't have known.
 
I love this show. It has however started getting a lil soap opera. I havent read the books so I dont know how far off they have gone.

Ahhhh what a great show! Anyone catch the graphic novels? I didn't but I saw them at the store... (B&N?), but they were *very* expensive.

I have read them all and I'm anxiously waiting for the next issue #94.

Personally, I prefer the graphic novels to the show. There's just so much more action. It's true the show at this point is doing it's own thing with the storyline but I don't think they could have done half of the things onscreen that are in the books. Could you imagine Carl shooting Shane back when they were outside of Atlanta? Will Rick get a hand chopped off? I doubt little Carl will ever get shot in the face on the show. There's plenty of harsh gritty events that happen in the books that more than likely never happen on the show.

The book's author has often said that no character is safe and he has held true to that tenfold. The show does a good job of filling in the gaps of the day to day stuff whereas the books, being a monthly release, skip over chunks of time.

Going by the books, the group leaves the farm and finds refuge in a prison. Things really hit the fan there but I can't see the show going in that direction.

As much as I prefer the books, I am looking forward to the show to start back up.

I think they are setting Merle up to show up as the Governor later on. And hopefully they bring in Michonne and her swords pretty soon. She is a badass! And I like how they are setting up what's-her-name to be the awesome sniper she becomes in the books.
 
I get a feeling that the group that was in town may come into play and delay the Rick/Shane fiasco for a few episodes at least. Perhaps something starts then that group shows up forcing the two of them to work together for a while long. It also comes to mind that perhaps they will stay true to the comics as to what finally happens to Shane or they may have him and Andrea split from the group and come into play later on...maybe Woodbury.
 
Interesting, so governor is confirmed for season 3 wonder who from the current group will not be there...
 
Word on the street is the actor playing Shane is moving to some other show Frank Darabaunt is working on. Might piss off some of those Team Shane folks.
 
Has enough time passed for us to talk about the latest episode? Did Rick do enough to put Shane in his place or is it true that a tiger can't change its stripes? What is going to become of Randall? There's only what, 3 episodes left? What kind of cliffhanger are you expecting for the finale?
 
i am catching up on this season...

i was sad to see sophia come out of the barn...
but i was half expecting it...
after the 3rd day missing... I was thought she was dead.. but was hoping there would be a happy ending. and when they found the barn... i suspected she was in there...

why is the only asian boy .. so lost all the time...

I don't think the show portrays how young and inexperienced he is as well as the graphic novels do. It seems the show's writers make him out to be weak and confused. Apart from Rick's character in the novels, I'd say Glenn is the most changed and developed character.

Can't wait till the 3rd season starts! I wonder what they'll change from the comic book! AAAAHHH!

One of the bigger things I noticed that they've changed is, in the show, Andrea and Michonne end up in Woodbury rather than Rick, Michonne and was it Glenn? That means no one handed Rick I guess.

What I want to know is will they end the season the same way the prison stay ended in the comic books. If they even go halfway I'll be impressed. Also, will there be the story of the few survivors in the prison when the group gets there?

Looking forward to the premier regardless. 3 weeks and eagerly counting.

Edit: Probably should get a Walking Dead season 3 started.
