How are they going to keep this baby alive with no breast milk or formula?

I was thinking the same when Lorri wanted to sacrifice herself.

This seemed to be a big part of the preview for the next episode. Darryl hops on his SS Harley to get formula.

Oh great, now I know Darryl rides his hog next week! I DID NOT want to know that, I like to be surprised! Way to use spoiler tags guy. GRRRRRRRRR

I skip the previews but they don't have a choice but to find some. It was rather irresponsible not to look for some beforehand since you never know what could happen (Lori dying after giving birth or simply not able to produce milk).

I'm still hoping for zombaby...maybe he/she will die of starvation and gum away at Carl's neck.

I have noticed that some of the effects, like the zombies and the killing of the zombies, don't seem as good as the first couple seasons. I think they are still first rate, but I have noticed, imo anyways, that they don't seem quite up to snuff of the previous seasons.

Maybe budget issues?

Was AMC screwing up for anyone else last night? It was almost as if I had DISH and the satellite kept going out or something. And I don't even have DISH. I was getting pretty ####### mad.

I had several glitches during the broadcast as well. Sound going out, picture pausing for several seconds, that kind of thing. It wasn't horrible but it did happen 4 or 5 times throughout the hour.

Yeah, thats what is was doing for me. Moreso in the beginning, like when Michonne was talking to the governor. But it happened a few times later as well.

The only person we know is for certain dead is T-dogg, which sucks because him meeting Merl would've been interesting.Annoying mom maybe shot by her son, but maybe he faked it.Annoying former abused wife and mother of girl who became a barn zombie is maybe dead, maybe she just lost her bandana and is still running through the prison.FWIW, I really think Lori is still alive, I don't see Carl actually shooting his mother in the head. We'll either see Rick save her coming up (like the end of next episode, they'll reveal she's still alive but just hanging on) <OR> she'll be back as a zombie and Rick will have to kill her.

Are we sure Lori is really dead?

Robert Kirkman confirmed in an online interview after the episode that she's definitely dead.

I wouldn't put it past Kirkman to lie about this.Facts: -Lori had a crummy c-section that is probably non-fatal-Lori supposedly shot, but it was offscreen-Carol had been practicing c-sections and was learning the ways of post apocolyptic medicine-Carol's dewrag was found, but no Carol, who we last saw in the SAME BUILDING AS LORI, escaping zombies through T-dogg's sacraficeAsk yourself these questions:-Why make it a point to have Carol practicing c-sections on zombies when as the 2nd closest thing to a doctor, she should've been helping with Hershel?-Why have Carl shoot Lori offscreen?To me, the set up is likely this, Carol finds Lori and saves her. This will probably happen in the last 5 minutes of the show next week, will Carol be able to save Lori being the cliff hanger.I think Kirkman is lying as he has a vested interest to lie. The story is unfolding, and unless you have rational reasons for why Carol was practicing c-sections and why Lori was killed offscreen, you'd can't rule it out. Kirkman said she's dead, but the story unfolding for us says no she isn't.

Glen slicing that walker head off just about 1/2 way up was impressive. I think it was glen.

-Carol had been practicing c-sections and was learning the ways of post apocolyptic medicine

-Carol's dewrag was found, but no Carol, who we last saw in the SAME BUILDING AS LORI, escaping zombies through T-dogg's sacrafice

Ask yourself these questions:

-Why make it a point to have Carol practicing c-sections on zombies when as the 2nd closest thing to a doctor, she should've been helping with Hershel?

-Why have Carl shoot Lori offscreen?

To me, the set up is likely this, Carol finds Lori and saves her. This will probably happen in the last 5 minutes of the show next week, will Carol be able to save Lori being the cliff hanger.

I think Kirkman is lying as he has a vested interest to lie. The story is unfolding, and unless you have rational reasons for why Carol was practicing c-sections and why Lori was killed offscreen, you'd can't rule it out. Kirkman said she's dead, but the story unfolding for us says no she isn't.

Well, at the time she was practicing c-sections Herschel was lying in a bed half dead with a bloddy stump. And they didn't show Lori being shot because they didn't need to... it was more impactful.

 

[Billy Bats]

Lori is dead. Why would the kid keep a lie going that he shot his own mother? He wouldn't say "hey dad, I'm just playing I didn't shoot her, go in and save mom"? I was half expecting the kid to shoot his father too, "stop crying #####!"

How old is the blond daughter? Her and Carl keep making eyes at eachother but I always assumed she was older than 18.

That is how the wife and I viewed last nights episode, that Lorie is not dead and Carol stopped in and closed up the C-section.I did not read the comics, so not sure how they will take this, but they left so many holes out there it only makes sense for her to still be alive.

Even better is if Carl shot her in the head and didn't kill her. Carol saves her via her extensive zombie autopsy training!

It's the sheer number of zombies that is costing the show a lot of money. During the 'boring' episodes they could afford to spend more per zombie because there were fewer of them. If you want more zombies the quality of them is going to suffer.

 

[Billy Bats]

Seems like they're using a lot more cgi for zombie kills. Doesn't that cost more than rubber costumes and ketchup packets?

That's all you think it is? It takes highly skilled make up artists many hours to achieve these effects and CGI is cheap these days.

Yea, latex mask full of Heinz 57, how hard is that? But it's safe to assume they have a lot of zombies ready to use, just thought it would be cheaper to chop a real zombie head in half instead of outsourcing to cgi. Thought the computer stuff was

 

[modogg]

I thought it was really well done how Rick and Lori shared a moment and the camera panned to seeing all hell break loose. The whole birth/death was very well done and the kid did a good job in a tough acting spot but I just didn't think the guy playing Rick did a good job at the end.

Doesn't take away from an awesome episode though.

all i could think about when Rick did his thing at the end of the episode was if it worse than Jax in Sons of Anarchy when he was yelling for his baby that got taken to Ireland

 

[peaces]

attn comic dudesis the hedd aquarium in the comics, and is there some purpose to it?I don't really get why he'd put all these heads in there unless it's some kind of sinister thinktank, or something.

I think i would give this a 1.5 out of 5 as far as how big of a deal it is, so feel free to check it because i don't think it will ruin anything for you in the show.

Spoiler

It was in the comics, but didn't really serve much of a purpose beside letting youn know he is f'd up, and that some of his guys know he has the heads in there and that they leave it alone. i think there is a line in the comic about how there is no more TV, so he uses this

If you think it might need a spoiler tag, please just put a spoiler tag. No need to rank it imo. TIA.I like the spoiler tag ranking system. Keep it up.

 

[Raider Nation]

1) They seem to have a quota now for minimum number of zombies per episode, and it's getting tiresome.

1. The amount of zombies was perfect.

 

[Pick]

Actually felt bad for Lori. Never thought that would happen.

 

[beer 302]

So we are (supposed to be) emotionally invested in Rick's group. They are dropping like flies. At this rate, Rick is going to be the only one left. Can they get you to care about some other characters (Andrea, Michonne, some other group) quick enough? Or is this becoming a horror-type movie where hope and triumph is not part of the equation?

The show is all about Rick and him keeping Carl (and now his baby) alive. If he can keep other people alive that's great but the show is about Rick and his family.

ThisAlways been about Rick. Anybody else is just icing on the cake.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Kind of a twisted question but would it have been better to shoot Lori in the head (and kill her) and then take the baby out? I mean assuming the c-section is done within a few minutes the baby would still be OK, no?

I wouldn't rule out Daryl as a great sympathetic character. He's already a fan favorite but his upcoming struggle of eventually having to choise between Merle and the Group. My guess is he chooses the group (based off of how the comics went*). As for hope and triumph, I don't see how there can be any unless they get to some non dictatorship utopia, protected from without as well as within. Otherwise hope will have to come from the little things like a good night's sleep, a shower, a little nookie, playing some music... The little things that will make them feel more human than walking dead. *I actually didn't read the comics much past Lori's death and don't even remember Merle coming back in them. Just wanted to freak out the squares.

One guarantees the death of the parent and one doesn't.It became obvious that she wasn't gonna make it when she started to hemorrhage blood, shooting her then also wouldn't have done any good as she was likely in shock, but would have also endangered all of them as there was a pack of zombies within earshot.

Iirc they got more money than the previous season but they could be skimping for a gigantic episode. BSG did that in season 3 with a massive battle and you could see the effect it had on the rest of the season.

There's also plenty of post apoc lessons to learn as well. Like don't get separated. Multitask. Futility. Realize all plans go to #### when zombies get involved. Etc. .

Infant mortality as well as adult mortality now as well is why people were married and reproduced in their teens prior to modern medicine improving both dramatically. I think with the options available, the grass on the field rule goes into effect.

She was doing a lot of screaming before she started to bleed out. Why didn't the walkers hear that?

 

[packersfan]

Kirkman doesn't play games when people die - if he says they're dead, they're dead.

I think having the shot occur off screen was for dramatic power. The focus is on Maggie's face as she hears the gun shot, realizing what's been done. You then see Carl essentially zombified walking past her and you clearly know what's been done. As a storytelling device, having the shot occur off camera worked extremely well.

Np, 5-6 quarts of blood in the human body, can lose 2 quarts before you have virtual death sentence without medical attention (blood transfusion).The more you know.

I thought the scene of him walking past Maggie like he was one of the undead was very well done. I'm half hoping he hooks up with the blonde sister just so that he's not a complete emotional wreck going forward. Plus, he'd deserve big props for nailing an older chick.

If it isn't cauterized they will bleed to death if they lose more than 40% of their blood.

I mentioned before that I really didn't like this episode and got ripped for it, but in fairness I thought they pretty well established that Lori's labor was going horribly wrong and that she wasn't going to make it. My problem is that the entire thing was handled with the subtlety and finesse of a cutscene in a video game, not that it was too ambiguous.

I really hope they do the scene from the cover of the comic where Carl and I think its Sophia and not maggies sister are holding hands on one side of the fence and on the other its just a horde of zombies.Favorite Panel

just thought it would be cheaper to chop a real zombie head in half
