He wanted to let the outsiders in and he was such a solid guy. His dying exemplified it. <br /><br />On the otherhand, I think people would cry foul if the group kept coming into contact with zombies and everyone survived. Unfortunately, he was the person who the writers had invested in the least. <br /><br />I cried when Lori died. I didn't dislike her as much as everyone else seems too. I'm left feeling distraught for the baby. How in the heck is it going to survive - there's no baby powder in a prision (though my uncle was fed of gravy as he was was allergic to milk). <br /><br />I heard the time shift was to deal with Chandler Griggs' growth spurts (Carl Grimes). I haven't found it an issue as to what's past. I assumed it was winter and they were snowed it and it was a bit boring with less walkers about. <br /><br />I hasven't watch Breaking Bad - but I think I might have to.

I really wanted to know him before they killed him off. I felt his loss more because I had no closure. It felt like such a lost opportunity for an interesting storyline. <br /><br />Angela: I have the same reaction to movies. I find myself revising them at the movie theaters!<br /><br />Stephsco: Breaking Bad is also one of my favorites! I am usually amazed by the writers on that show. Although I wish they would explore Walt Jr.'s storyline (since he's a teen, and there's just so much to be explored there). jaquira díazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930887137598117706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-56931196062537829872012-11-08T17:52:01.048-05:002012-11-08T17:52:01.048-05:00I also watch TV with a writer's eye!

Justified is just as good, they've got author Elmore Leonard as a consultant. <br /><br />Anyway, regarding The Walking Dead, my husband, aka Ruiner of Shows, did NOT call Lori's death. He thought the baby would be zombed out. So that was unexpected, although I do recall hearing that Lori died in the comics back when season 1 aired. Still, I wasn't sure they'd do it on the show. I agree about T Dog--he's been with the crew from the start! His death was totally overshadowed by Lori so it felt kind of cheap. <br /> Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-55988918254139318372012-11-08T16:18:42.358-05:002012-11-08T16:18:42.358-05:00I haven't watched the show but I have a few co...I haven't watched the show but I have a few co-workers who are die-hard fans so I heard about Lori's death. Apparently, they were just as pleased that Lori died as you. Probably a club called, "Kill Lori already!"<br /><br />Anywho, I can see what you mean. I admit, it's been hard watching movies because I tend to analyze them from a writer's perspective and poor Fan Me gets jostled about.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-88858495187091821112012-11-08T15:44:19.617-05:002012-11-08T15:44:19.617-05:00I, too, adore this show.

I think they did it because they just had nowhere they wanted to go with (insert name here) character, really. He was just always in the background. At least at the end, he served a bittersweet purpose: he saved someone.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847967072513793874noreply@blogger.com
