The Walking Dead 3.5: “Say The Word”

We’re all happy campers here!

Ken: Ruh Roh: Rick Grimes has now officially gone Shane on us. That makes me a happy Walking Dead fan.

Joe: My first thought was that he was going in there to chop up Lori. This seems to be an episode I will always be holding my blanket at half staff. Also, you can almost hear Glenn’s voice saying, as the motorcycle speeds away, “And that’s the last time I ever saw Maggie alive.” I figure at this point no one has any chance of making it to the end of this season but Michonne and the new black guy. Wouldn’t that be something if they were all that was left?!

Jeannie: And here to illustrate for us a likely scenario in which the people of color are the ones that survive a zombie apocalypse is Comedy Central:

Joe: LOL. Kevin Sorbo.

Carly: And, in case there is any doubt about Rick’s rage, here are several graphic representations of it via skull explosions.

Ken: Rick’s got an odd way of finding closure…

Back in Pleasantville…

Joe: Why is applause okay during that group scene? Isn’t that a lot of noise? Shouldn’t they be snapping? Or saying a calming noise in unison? I suggest “Ahh.”

Jeannie: If I see Andrea’s ridiculous swoony face one more time….

Ken: So she finally get’s her samurai sword back…but do we finally get to see Michonne say more than three words this episode?

Jeannie: Her face as she swings her sword onto her back though? Pretty brilliant.

Carly: Is that notebook a little insight into the Governor’s madness? Or as my sister put it: “Crazypants.”

Joe: Your sister should join the roundtable. Also, ummm, Gov? That’s the kind of stuff you do in your notebook when you’re bored in chemistry, not bored with the continuance of man. He is in fact “crazypants.”

Ken: That scribble book has got a bit of a Patrick Bateman thing going on. Methinks The Gov’ a big appreciator of Huey Lewis and the News, and that list of names are not just acquaintances.

Joe: Ew. I hope no one else got that joke. LOL.

Jeannie: Um, yeah, nobody fills pages and pages with evenly spaced lines like that unless you’ve got some serious OCD tendencies. Also, “Keith?”

Carly: What is this magical window that takes you from Pleasantville to hell Michonne?…Apparently she just needed a little therapy Rick Rage-style.

Joe: This backlot dystopia is oddly pretty to me, too, for some reason. Maybe the lack of zombie corpses. At least in the beginning five seconds. I love, love, love Michonne’s “Mmhmm, he is crazy” look when she looks at the bin of zombies, which contains a zombie that looks remarkably similar to The Governor, amirite?

Ken: I think I was just as giddy as a schoolgirl just now watching Michonne dispatch the bin zombies, especially Squishy Grapefruit Zombie. Sweet.

:: Joe takes a long drink of water to forget the words “Squishy Grapefruit Zombie” ::

Jeannie: I think we need to create a subcategory in Michonne’s kill count to including zombie head stomping.

Joe: It’s beheading or nothin’!

♬♩It’s Just Too Little To Late, A Little Too Wrong…

Jeannie: We just learned more about Oscar’s personal character now than we ever did about T-Dog. (Yeah, still grinding that axe.)

Carly: Since when is Hershel the voice of inclusion? Wasn’t he all about keeping to himself on the farm and keeping their own people together? Though what an easy transition into the comfortable ‘wise old man’ role.
