The Walking Dead 3.5: “Say The Word”
This week, we deal with the subtle (and not so subtle, Rick) mourning of two characters The Walking Dead would like us to think were beloved but, compared to T-Dog, any character seems beloved. And with posthumous praise and facts that may have better fit into some of the plotlines before his death, parts of this episode have me singing Jojo.
Singing with me this week are Carly Mitchell, Kenneth Hwynn, and Jeannie Chan.

Are These Meyer Lemons?
Ken: Too much to process last episode, and I have questions. What’s Carol up to? Is she dead? Is she alive? And, we have a baby to take care of now…what are they going to feed her? Do they actually get to bury Lori or does she turn into Z-amburger meat? Since none of these questions are going to be answered, and they’re just going to show this block party… Andrea has now surpassed and replaced Lori as the most annoying character on the show.
Joe: Seriously. Take her clear and utter disregard for the ominousness of the sentence “Mere words cannot describe the festivities ahead.” How that doesn’t read to another adult as we’re having an orgy (or something else you will not like)–especially coming from that dude–is so, so dumb. She’s just like… “Mmm! Are these Meyer lemons? They’re so sweet!”
Jeannie: I really appreciate Michonne’s pose and look of disbelief. Because I am feeling the exact same way regarding Andrea’s (I almost wrote Lori, Ken!) behavior as of late. What happened to the hardass and hardened, give-me-my-own-gun Andrea of the Apocalypse? I get the desire to want to leave all those burdens behind and believe in this utopia, but come on now.
Joe: The lemonade is just so cold, Jeannie. The Governor has to be really careful with that combing, eventually he’ll take some scalp off, won’t he? Oh, look, I was right…this show has changed me.
Ken: Aww, how tender and sweet. Joe, it’s just a small patch–anyways it’ll grow back.
Carly: Ripping off my scalp while brushing my hair is my nightmare….and on that note, I’m glad we now know what happened to his daughter! I wonder what Michonne’s thoughts will be on his little secret, considering she had her own about those recently disposed-of pets.
Jeannie: I think (hope) her thoughts translate into an awesome confrontation (read: fight scene)!
Joe: I love all of you, friends, so if there’s a zombie apocalypse–and you turn–I will definitely shoot you in the head. I expect you’ll do the same for me. Preferably before I get all gross, wrinkly, and growly.
Ken: Please off me first, I don’t want to turn into a well-zombie or something, it’s like being on camera…adds 10lbs.
Joe: +200 in water weight.
Catharsis, Or Rick Chops A Lot of Heads off With An Axe
Jeannie: Oh Steven Yeun, after running past you in Chelsea this week looking dapper as ever, seeing you all bloody and greasy haired is… still really really hot. (Oh, I’m sorry, do things like this go on my personal blog…?)
Joe: Tackle him next time for an interview! ::Growl:: Aww man, I’m exhibiting zombie behavior already. Don’t shoot me till my skin turns grey, you guys.
