But…they have still been using other vehicles in the show, the governor drove up to the prison with, what, 8 or 10 vehicles? And a tank, of all things. ---

There are a couple other Brits on there too. Geez, do American actors charge too much or something? There are four British actors altogether, though ‘Maggie’ was born in the US. That’s less than the furriners making up True Blood, though. I think. ---

Haven’t watched True Blood. Figures it’d be full of “true blood” Brits. Walking Dead? Why would a gaggle of Brits be faking American accents? Are American actors that bad? ---

Maggie slips in and out of accent SO much, they should have just written it into her character. ---

> [@randwill](#): > > While I have no way of knowing one way or the other, it wouldn’t surprise me if the next episode depicted the activities of characters other than Rick, Carl and Michone. We might not necessarily ever see those three back at that particular location again. Yes, I have a melancholy feeling that we’ll be kept in suspense over the Same House Or Not question for at least two or three more weeks. ☹ ---

Well, the episode 11 promo shows the three of them together (Carl, Rick, and Michonne), so at some point next episode we should get the rest of the story. While it is extremely possible that my initial reaction about Michonne not being at the door was incorrect, it is nice to be able to speculate throughout the week. Dang porch furniture really through me for a loop. I still haven’t had a chance to re-watch last week’s episode, clusters headaches have really taken over the past few weeks.
