The Walking Dead; 3.09 "The Suicide King" (open spoilers)

Tyrese and his daughter had most of the black lines. If you have more than two black characters speaking in a mostly white show, by law there must be a spin-off, and they don’t have the budget just now.

Glenn is pissed that they didn’t take him on the rescue party, so he could whack the Governor and Merle, but took Maggie, who was abused by the Governor, and no body else whacked the Governor, but indeed brought Merle back with them.

The rest is Girl Stuff.

Well, considering she’s only 17, I sure as Hell hope there’s no romantic subplot there! :eek:

Besides, we all know Carl was makin’ eyes at her, and he totally called dibs. :stuck_out_tongue:

And then there was also that creepy scene with the last surviving inmate (can’t remember his name,) trying to hit on her…

Yeah, but we probably know why he is in prison. :slight_smile:

Pretend I’m stupid (or perhaps you don’t have to pretend): I’m not getting it. Wikipedia tells me the “suicide king” is the King of Hearts, which is not helping me.

I just call him Larry (and his cellmate Darryl and his other cellmate, Darryl).

Refresh my memory: did Daryl and Carol ever hook up?

I think the Gov has said, “Well, fuck it.” and it letting the town kill itself by not talking to the populace and calm them down.

On the other hand, the King of Hearts may refer to Glen and his change in behavior with Maggie, Merle and Darryl.

I don’t recall their Doing the Deed.

I don’t get it either. My first thought was the Governor, now that he’s missing an eye, but that’s either the Jack of Hearts or of Spades or the King of Diamonds. I have the feeling it was the writers trying to be clever and screwing it up.

I think Suicide King might also refer to Rick having a meltdown and making decisions that could cost them their lives or at least his.

Me either. As I would specifically remember puking my guts out at the sight.

The key to his survival is to immediatly kill any and every other black male as soon as they come accross him.

Wow! The Walking Dead had 12.3 million viewers last night, with a 6.1 rating in the 18-49 demo. Pretty amazing numbers for a cable series.

They are probably just hoping for Maggie and Glen to give it an XXX rating.
:slight_smile:

Zom…er, walkers seem to take care of that. :rolleyes:

Seriously? Norman Reedus is a former model … Prada, etc. He cleans up pretty good.

and Melissa McBride is a very attractive woman. It’s hard to look good when you are wearing filthy shapeless clothing and no make-up. She cleans up nice too. Walking Dead Wiki | Fandom

I saw him at Dragon-Con (Atlanta’s miniature version [but still very large] of Comic-Con) and when he entered a room it was Dionysus and the Maenads. Boy has a HUGE female following.

I have no problem with their actors and I agree, they clean up well. But it’s more so the idea of their two characters hooking up that just disgusts me. I don’t like the idea of them together and I’m annoyed the show seems to be leaning that way. I dunno. I’m not a big Carol fan, so I’m a bit biased.

About the Suicide King thing…

From the bit of reading I’ve done on the term, the King of Hearts is called this because of the way it looks as if he’s stabbing himself in the head with a sword. Apparently though, because the pattern on the arm is different than what the king is wearing, there are thoughts that the arm and sword belong to another figure not seen on the card.

So perhaps the term is being used to describe a coup against a leader?
