In his defense, in the comic he was porking andrea, not surprised that they removed that from the show, but I was very disappointed they killed him off way too early imo.Favorite character in the comic, imo the best actor on the show. Made sense killing him off when they did, he was always Rick's voice of reason - Just didnt like it.
heard there was a falling out because the actor backed the showrunner who got fired...so they wrote him out
I can't hit the link posted above. Which character are you talking about?
 
I don't have a problem with Merle calling her a farmer's daughter. He showed his racism (not that the farmer's daughter comment was racist) when he made the comment about T-dog, and then when he brought in the zombie to eat Glenn he said the zombie would be hungry again in an hour... a shot at Glenn being Asian. Racist, or at least stereotypical from Merle. So it could be that he just called her a farmer's daughter because she looked like one. He could have also called are the "girl next door", or something. I didn't think it took away from the scene.
Andrea said they were on a farm in 3-3. Merle was asking about Darryl.
 
Is it just me, or does that guy on the wall have the worst prop gun ever?
you mean this one?
:lmao: :lmao:
So that wasn't just me. Actually, it makes perfect sense. They are up on a wall, so the barrel is angled down to fire down at the walkers on the ground. Yah...
so we have a guy with a fake gun, and a girl shooting a bow who couldn't hit water if she fell out of a boat. Maybe Woodbury isn't so heavily protected after all.

Correct but that's a rather gigantic leap to assume some random chick just happens to be the daughter of the person who owned the farm.

They have a small army and Michonne just killed 3 of them. What they do have is decent weaponry that they stole from the National Guard.

You really think "farmer's daughter" is some sort of common expression these days?

Perhaps not. Also one thing we've seen repeatedly this season is how organized Rick and his group are when they are hunting. They are an efficient killing machine at this point and now they have Michonne. Rick, Daryl and Michonne won't be easy to put down. Plus Merle and at least one member of the Governor's inner group are heading to the prison to do some recon. Assuming they're gone when Rick and the group attack, Woodbury will be weaker than usual.
 
Oh, my kid sent me a link to all of the issues of the comic books online.

:lmao: All this time I thought they were going to be some sort of comic book tour de force. They're crap.

:shrug: I've heard it before. And it came from Merle, the guy who called T-dog a racial slur that we also probably haven't heard in awhile. At least I haven't.

Well I mean it is a common phrase but it doesn't seem like something someone would use as a slur or a put down."Did you see all those women lined up in front of the Tulsa Wal-Mart on Black Friday? What a bunch of farmer's daughters!"
 
I have my first nitpick in series history:Merle calling Maggie "the farmer's daughter." How could he have known that? He hadn't talked to her yet and she surely wasn't going to tell him that nor was Glenn. That was a pretty correctable mistake they let slip in.Overall a great episode. The tension was off the charts everywhere. LOVED the music at the end. Thunderous pulsating beat just amped up the tension even more. Cannot wait for Rick and the Governor to get face to face.Oh and nice thong Andrea. :thumbup:
Could simply be, he called her that due to the twang in her speaking. When I hear "farmer's daughter" I'm thinking someone with a southern accent. Daisy Duke comes to mind.

Aren't they all from the South? Is that something that would stand out to Merle who is half a hillbilly himself?

He'd certainly notice if she didn't have an accent. Andrea may have told him more about the farm and they didn't show her doing so on screen. He could have learned it or it could just be a saying he uses. Seems fairly insignificant to me.

Oh I don't care either way.
 
I love the show, but the one thing (other than the terrible gun prop) I didn't like, was the guy they ran up against on the way to woodbury. The guy is 1 mile from woodbury. He's been there roughly a year. woodbury knows about the prison because they say it's overrun and had considered it until deciding they couldn't clear it out. woodbury has done maybe hundreds of scouts and never found this cabin near the lake?

Love the show. Best on tv. But I thought it was just weird they hadn't found this guy before.

 
Rick is told that Glenn and Maggie are taken by a group while in the process of getting supplies which included baby formula. This implies 2 things: The group that took Glenn and Maggie are hostile, and the group knows that Glenn and Maggie were in a group with other people. One could logically conclude that this hostile group will try and find out from Glenn and Maggie where Rick's group is and attack it. I found it a little ridiculus that Rick only left Carl and maybe prisoner-who-could-be-a-pedophile to protect Herschal, the baby, and the two woman.

Who would you leave behind? Rick's going. Michonne has to go and you sure want Daryl on your side in a fight. I see your point but I don't think there were any better options than what Rick went with.

Agreed, if anything it just further emphasizes how few real fighters they have left. That point was further emphasized when Glenn was trying to talk big to Merle and listed out all the fighters they had that we know to be dead or gone.

Yeah. That was another great scene. For a moment, it appeared Merle might be thinking the group had gotten stronger but the second Glenn said Andrea's name he knew he was bluffing. As soon as Glenn saw Merle all :D he probably knew his bluff had been called.

Andrea said they were on a farm in 3-3. Merle was asking about Darryl.
Correct but that's a rather gigantic leap to assume some random chick just happens to be the daughter of the person who owned the farm.
Real? A gigantic leap. More-so than it being a racial slur.

"I'm going to call the cops"? That was horrible.
Every part of that was poorly written. Has this guy slept through the entire apocalypse?!
:goodposting: Maybe eating wolf is equivalent to taking LSD and he thought he imagined everything.. hard to say as I've never had Wolf before. :unsure:
Thought that was a dog with a collar? :confused: Anyhoo, it was obvious that the guy was bat#### crazy. To me the only point of that scene was to show that Rick has now placed survival above old moral considerations, as exhibited by chucking the wounded but alive crazy guy out the door as a Zombie snack.

I hear ya.My only complaint about the episode was the Michonne/Rick scenes when they brought her inside. Obviously the chick brought a basket of baby food for a reason. She's been shot, and is giving you info on your friends, yet Rick's reaction is to grab her wound to try to force more out of her? I get that Rick has sort of gone off the deep end, but that encounter just seemed forced to me. Michonne's wooden acting didn't help.I'm excited to see where they leave things off in the mid season finale though.
I really can't stand this actress. She's turned this character into something I dread seeing on screen because of her constant "What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?!" expression. Similar to that girl who played "Precious"...just this ugly scrunch face, sour lemon, smelled a fart look that detracts every single time she's on screen.There were a number of moments in this episode that had me wondering what?! Rick's use of force there was so dumb and misplaced. Hermit wanting to call the cops or run out to the zombies. Glenn calling her the farmers daughter. This doc not realizing this zombie will bite him. We've got a new person on the scene with Michonne...screw that noise Rick...there's something over here you gotta see. I'm sure Carols old ### can't wait a moment...damn.Just an odd hodgepodge of things that made no sense.
