The Walking Dead Roundtable 3.6: “Hounded”

Kiki: Yeah seriously and even worse her whole “I got this–I’m like Katniss Everdeen” attitude about it.

Joe: “I’m just like Hawkeye!” :: shoots arrow which wobbles and completely misses target ::

“Ew” Must Be The Most Common Word Spoken In America From 9PM-10PM On Sundays

Jeannie: Yay, Hershel to the emotional rescue! I think that after all the drama that has gone down since last season, Rick would have needed someone to validate his efforts to protect the group anyway. And now that Lori’s gone…

Joe: Of all the people to survive something, the dude who got his leg hacked off with a dirty axe lives! Honestly.

Carly: Holy pouring intestines!

Jeannie: Ewwwwwww.

Joe: Kiki can attest to this…I slid off the couch in disgust. I actually physically couldn’t handle it. LOL.

Kiki: He slid off the couch, rolled onto the floor, making exclamations at how nasty that was to be exact, haha. Can’t say that I wasn’t making a scene about it, either. ::shuddering:: remembering that scene.

Joe: Just…the noise it made. Why. Anyway…

Jeannie: Yay for Daryl coming to Carl’s emotional rescue! (We will not speak of the above again.) Or at least, he’s trying to. This poor kid.. and also, poor baby Daryl! His childhood is shaping up to a rough one..

Kiki: I’m so glad that scene happened! Was beginning to wonder how this kid was going to keep it together without so much as having someone to have that conversation with him.

Carly: I think the Governor is my favorite part of the show right now. I have no clue what the heck is happening in his town; I appreciate the uncomfortable relationship with Andrea, and he’s just so…sneaky? Hey, maybe there’s a real good reason for that slash-filled notebook after all.

Joe: I’m pretty sure the reason is that his grief has overtaken him. But he is also my favorite part of the show right now. I’m sure he’s going to do something horrible to a character I enjoy at some point, him being the Big Bad and all, but–for now–he’s the one to watch.

Kiki: He’s definitely on the sneaky side. And I’m not sure if he’s really into Andrea or just trying to get something out of her…like trust? He might be coming off as completely likeable (and not so bad-looking for an older gentleman,) but I feel like this is just the quiet before the storm. What happens when Andrea sees the heads in cases–some of which are just people and not zombies?

Carly: Also, they would’ve been getting onto some interesting and shaky ground commenting on the acceptability of the brutality of those fighting men and walkers when America loves its boxing and blood sports.

Joe: You’ve shone a light on my hypocrisy, Carly. I at once thought what they were doing was barbaric, and yet I’m an occasional MMA fan.

Jeannie: I’m sorry. I know it’s not possible that the writers were inspired by the Comedy Central parody, but… LOL. After the line of zombies just strolled by Michonne without a second glance, what am I supposed to believe?!

Kiki: HAHAHAHA. Oh man. The thought crossed my mind as well.

Joe: LOL, Jeannie. Also, how did curly-haired dude go from frightened and shellshocked to bloodthirsty in like no seconds flat? Aaaand now he’s dead. Well, nevermind…guess it doesn’t matter. I thought he was getting infected with Rage.

Rick’s Catharsis

Carly: How do they know your name? Because the call is coming from inside the house!!!! Bum bum bummmm!

Joe: Couldn’t get more inside the house than one’s subconscious, non?

Jeannie: Okay, it’s more than obvious now that the phone = Rick’s mind telling him to snap out of this state and deal with the reality of Lori’s death. Yes, Rick, please talk to someone about what you’re thinking and feeling because you are starting to alarm me.

Joe: Yeah, Ken mentioned last week that Rick wasn’t having much of a reaction to his wife’s passing, so seeing that was a deliberate choice by the writers and Rick (played by Andrew Lincoln) is a good sign for the future of character development on this show. Now, do Michonne. I have a sneaking suspicion, though, that the first call (and maybe call 2 of 3) may have been real.

Kiki: I wanted to believe that Joe, about the first two phone calls. But. Again. How. Are. The. Phones. WORKING??!
