The Walking Dead; 2.06 "Secrets" (open spoilers)

Because he’s a patronizing old man. And she has the hots for Shane.

I thought he was going to say “I had sex with Maggie”, which is his third secret. He could have kept quiet about the other stuff, but I’m glad he didn’t.

I hope the midseason finale doesn’t end with the Barn Walkers escaping. If the episode starts that way, fine. The last scene can be Maggie’s mom chomping down on Herschel.

Zombie Porn!

It was a split level house. In some split level houses you might walk into the front door into the living room, go upstairs to reach the bedrooms and then go downstairs to reach the garage.

Not in the tv series.

Someone already knows that, I don’t remember if it was Dale or someone else, but someone else figured it out already. I think it happened in the RV, so it was probably Dale that asked him.
Yes, I think it was the conversation that started off with “You’re old, right?”.

Yeah, Glen told Dale in the previous episode that he had slept with Maggie. Dale then lectured him about it, of course.

Hmm, it looks to me like Dale has a big ol’ crush on Andrea, but it could be a father/daughter dynamic, too. I think Andrea has zero interest in having Dale looking out for her like a daddy, though; I think if she’d heard Dale’s conversation with Shane, she would have left right then and there - she’s had it with Dale’s meddling.

It’s absolutely ridiculous to even CONSIDER giving birth in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Lori actually hit the nail right on the head - every time the baby cries, it’s going to draw walkers. And babies cry a LOT. Hell, my husband and I were discussing the fact that, should hypothetical zombie apocalypse strike, we would definitely have to put our dogs down, as no matter how well we hid, every time there was a noise they’d bark like maniacs. The fact that anyone thinks ending her pregnancy is a bad thing is just a sign that these people have STILL not accepted the reality of their situation at all.

Actually, it may be. It hasn’t been addressed yet - we haven’t seen anyone die of a non-bite and then hung around the corpse to see if it comes back. We’ll have to see.

There has to be an abortion or miscarriage. The series would need to run for 15 years to show that pregnancy come to term. Once they are finished with the day-by-day at the farm they will need to let some serious time pass, or have a gap between season segments. Otherwise the only way they will be able to resolve that story line is with the termination of the pregnancy in some form.

At the current pace, they are going to have problems with the kid that plays Carl aging 1 year for every two weeks in Walking Dead world.

I’ve thought the same thing about my cats - we couldn’t just open the door and let them go, and we can’t travel with these cats.

Maybe we have - all the people who died in the cars weren’t zombified. Of course, with this show, we don’t know if that’s a clue or bad writing. :slight_smile:

Well, they could have zombified and then starved/cooked in the car heat. As far as I know, we don’t know what baking at high heat does to them, or if they need to eat in order to stay animate. Why else would they have the desire to eat, though, if they couldn’t “run down” and starve?

for some reason I really really liked this episode. the acting was great the dialog was great and for a change SOMETHING HAPPENED other than people getting older.

It wasn’t just that line either. All of Rick’s conversation with her at the end of the episode was nothing more than a hard sell, anti-abortion shaming. I just didn’t see the point of it at all. You can have your emotions and convictions but to seriously consider incapacitating your wife with a pregnancy in the middle of a total societal collapse full of cannibalistic, homicidal, walking corpses is beyond idiocy. I can’t think of any reason for Rick’s position on the issue other than editorializing on the part of the writers…or they are taking a really subtle jab at pro-lifers.

What I liked about this episode (in conjunction with the previous episode, in retrospect) was how it mercilessly drove home the point that a rag-tag group of survivors can’t expect to maintain the same level of privacy that they might have been used to before the apocalypse. Secrets are going to come out. So much so that in this episode the walkers were really only a secondary threat to the group cohesion. The real threat this episode were the ‘group’ themselves.

Why do they have to be making a political point? Maybe they are just thinking about how Rick would react to a pregnancy.

What’s all this goldanged RU numbers and such? Ain’t got nuthin like that on a map round these parts.

‘Course us here in Georgia don’t know nuthin about nuthin cause we’s in the South and that means we just plain stupid bout everythin’.

:rolleyes:

Now hesh up, Dingbang. Quit carryin’ on and let the yankees talk. I reckon we might learn somethin’! Them folks is powerful smart.

All I got to say is that if the Zombie apocalypse comes, I would rather be with my redneck brother than my New England brother. One may be smarter in the ways of sex ed, but the other is smarter in the way of taking care of business. Me I would be useless zombie food in about 10 seconds.

Now now, don’t go putting yourself down. Food is a useful and keystone part of life. Why, without food nothing would live. So, you aren’t USELESS if you are food. Even if it’s food for zombies :wink:
