The Walking Dead: old seasons discussion (but still spoilery stuff)

[ZebraZeebra]

For people who haven't seen it yet - spoilers ahead!

So we've re-watched from the beginning because I'm obsessed and for whatever stupid reason, first time around we skipped half of season two. Like a dick I'd got bored of it and we stopped watching, and then re-started at season three. So I never knew why Rick was so pissed off with Lori at the start of season 3 but NOW I KNOW! Argh what is her problem??

Shane did save her and Coral numerous times but he also went completely loopy, compromised the group, went renegade, and began to hate his best friend of many years because - like Rick said - made out like it was Rick stealing Lori and Coral away from him, AND he plotted to kill Rick. Lori even had conversations with Rick about this. Yet she's obviously so hideously angry with Rick that he had to kill Shane. I get that she'd have all kinds of confused feelings about this and be sad because - aside from that she might be carrying his baby - they all had a history...but for god's sake woman! Keep it to yourself! HE WAS GOING TO KILL YOUR HUSBAND.

Argh. Do not like Lori. She's a dick most of the time.

I disliked her from episode 1 of series 1. I.e when we were meant to like her

No me neither Spanishfly! When she crashed the rolled the car when out looking for Rick and Hershall, I was cheering for her to be eaten.

I never liked her either. We've not watched the current series. Only seen what's on DVD, is that where you're all up to?

We're up to the end of the season that was just shown on Fox - series 4 I think

Yeah, just waiting for October for season five - terminus!

Think I'm a series behind then

My sod alarms murmured when there was an Xbox achievement sound for the police guy killing his first zombie. And then, there were these Mexicans, who were obviously all ex-healthcare workers. Traumatised by zombie outbreak, they rationalise, and open an old peoples homes.

Gatsbycluster I am a massive WD fan but your post has got me very confused!

I was literally going to spiel about the masterfulness of the comics.

Instead I literally battle with autocorrect for about 30 seconds about how to spell masterstroke.

Okay. Still none the wiser but never mind .

Just what exactly did happen to the mexicans and the old folks they were looking after?! We deserve an extra episode (not one of the main ones, but an extra cause we're such well behaved fans) to follow their story for an hour.

I'm about to cave and re-watch seasons 1-4. Making us wait until October to find out what happens at Terminus is just bloody cruel. I sense a main character death but who? Who?!

I've spent the day making Carol Peletier and 'What Would Carol Do?' t-shirts. I'm not obsessed. It's my job. (OK, so I could have done other things, like my tax return. But whatever.)

Did anyone else find Lori bloody annoying even in the comics? Yet comic Andrea was pretty awesome. Such a shame the way they went with her character on the TV show

Oh don't even get me started on Andrea! She spends most of season two being a petulant child about guns and wanting to get in the thick of it - any tenuous reason to draw her gun, she does. Then she spends most of season three being a sticky beak and getting involved in the inner workings of Woodsbury...even though she was only there for five minutes.

Greebo0gg I haven't fully read the comics but I found a WD comics wiki that has a synopsis of each one. I sadly don't have the time to read them fully so I think I'm missing out on the full horror of comic-Lori.

Aye you've nailed the annoyance that was Andrea! Goes through a 'gun phase' and shoots Daryl. Then we have the 'Woodbury phase' and we all know how well her decisions there turned out. FGS Andrea just go sit down and shut up.

I only have the first compendium of the comics as they're so expensive, so wiki everything else as well
