ME TOO. Those scenes DO NOT NEED to happen EVER on the TV show!

The phonecall subplot was one of my lesser favorites of the comic, so of course they couldn't wait to throw that in. I'm pretty sure the phone call must have been past where I read as well, but I have to say, I found it incredibly annoying. I hope it is actually done with this episode.

I thought they were going to change it up and have the phone call be from someone else ... and leave us guessing as to whether they were real or not ...

The phone calls happened starting around issue 50, give or take an issue or two.

Nerve racking beyond belief and I'm so relieved with what didn't happen. Still incredibly effective--both Maggie's ordeal and Glenn with the walker.

Yeah, Glenn's sequence with the walker was AWESOME! I bet that was hard to choreograph!
This season continues to rock HARD!

I'm thinking split seasons are the new normal.
I kind of like them because they shorten the previously MURDEROUS wait between seasons, like we had with 1 and 2.

I may have to watch next week's episode totally pickled... (I was pickled watching TWD last week, in case you couldn't tell from my posts) I'm not sure my nerves can take it otherwise. But when I'm pickled, I miss things. Damn these modern problems!!!

I was nervous as well ... <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">in both torture scenes</span></span> well at least for now the show seems to draw the line with itself on the "action movie" side rather than on the "saw torture movie" side of the line. I have different limits for what I can handle in a comic book and a tv show. In a tv show I can usually handle more gore ... but not if the acting is good ... then its even worse than a comic book (which is a pretty immersive experience for me) ... like season one of American Horror Story just wasn't campy enough for me ... that trauma was too believable! I don't need that in my little power brain!

Soooo looking forward to the episode this week, but sad that we have no new shows after that for a while. Sunday nights will be boring.

Well...that was a great mid season finale. Lots happened and lots more set up.
Did not see the one part of the ending coming though, although I knew the Gov was upset with Merle.

So much good and downright creepy stuff packed into one episode. I can't decide who is the biggest bad ass:
1) Glenn,
2) Michonne, or
3) Carl.
Three way tie, perhaps. Carol's "I am not a lesbian" scene was priceless.

I am starting to give Carl an edge in that category right now. Just cause you can tell he is still a little freaked, but he still just keeps going.
I loved the scene with Carol.

Carl is now awesome. So much better than his borderline insufferable comicbook counterpart, and SO much better than he was in Seasons 1 and 2!
Carol stole the show with her brief scene. I've really wanted her character to get it together, I've always kinda-sorta liked her but then she'd do something I didn't like. So far this season she seems to have it together.
Tyreese is JUST as awesome as I'd hoped he'd be.
A great half-season and a thrilling minseason finale.

I really liked Tyrese. Good intro to the character. Just wish they had not been predictable with what happened with the 4 that went to Woodbury.
