The Walking dead

[Airborneguy]

I can't stand Lori. My wife and I were praying she would take the final magic carpet ride last season. I hope that baby is a zombie and eats her from the inside!! I think this was a great opening episode. It made up for the doldrums of last season and the stupid farm. Hopefully it stays this way.

Great opening episode. If I were anyone in the group, perhaps T-Bone or Daryl, the conversation would go something like "I'm pregnant" "So am I to understand that after putting us in danger so many times, and having survival skills that are limited to washing and or peeling carrots, you have managed to find the one way to make it even less likely for us to get wherever we are going without being zombie food? Yeah, F you."

This all over.

It pissed me off when Lori got so upset when Rick killed Shane, at a point when I thought she was already making bad decisions and putting people in danger. And now being pregnant? And possibly having a baby that you can't stop from crying, drawing zombies directly to you? Yeah, I agree... F that.

I don't think I've ever hated a character on TV as much as I currently hate Lori. I look forward to the day she gets torn apart by a horde, or herd as they like to call em.

Also, the face peeling off scene was one of the best things i've ever seen on TV.

If you remember back, Lori actually wanted to abort the baby because of the very reasons you guys are emphasizing. She kind of talked herself out of it through Dale & Glenn's supportive comments and her own love and respect for Rick. Maggie mocked her for her decision to abort it at the expense of her and Glenn's lives. So that's four people who wanted her to keep it and to Rick about it instead of rushing to get rid of it. Shane obviously wanted her to keep it and T-Dog along with Hershel were constantly telling her not to lift things, getting rest, and trying to take it easy... so that's seven people who either directly or indirectly supported her pregnancy.

Therefore, your arguments about it being her decision alone to keep it and risk the safety of the group does not hold water. The only one who directly snapped at her for going through with the pregnancy was that girl Beth, and around the same time, Beth slit her own wrists. The producers kind of told us there that Beth was not good at making decisions for others if she can't make the right decision for herself.

I definitely do not think Rick would approve of Lori aborting it in any situation. He knew that it might be Shane's because she brought that up when she told Rick she thought he was dead. He still accepted it and wanted the baby with that 50/50 chance it might be his.

And I don't know about Lori being useless. She's killed plenty of zombies. You're just not remembering because she's like 7 months pregnant now and taking the sidelines. If there was anyone who was useless, it would be Sophia's mom. I can't even remember her damn name.

Spoiler Alert: Lori actually does end up dying soon though according to the comics.

 

[aygov]

Lori dying would make the series infinitely better...

 

[NervousDad]

I can't wait! I'm hoping that the baby is a zombie that would be awesome.

 

[Airborneguy]

I don't mind the spooier as long as its true. I hope she dies in spectacular, non-heroic fashion!

The difference between Lori and Sophia's mom is that Sophia's mom isn't at the center of a **** storm like Lori. She may be on the sidelines as far as contributions, but she's also on the sidelines as far as stirring the pot goes.

Carol is certainly useless, but at least she doesn't deliberately put herself or others in harm.

I feel like Carol is a weight they have to drag around but Lori is a weight that tries to shoot you.

 

[bobbrews]

How does Lori put others in harm? She's stupid and stirs the pot, but she is not malevolent like Shane, shady like Daryl, or full of attitude like Andrea. I just explained the majority of group support for her having the baby. Harm is constantly around the group despite Lori's involvement or not. And the group will continue to be harmed in many, many ways after her death. Someone like Shane or Merle are much more adept and bringing harm to the group than Lori as we've seen. Truth is Lori and Carl are kind of easy to hate because they're so helpless and ridiculous. But that is how their characters were written. We are now seeing Carl overcome that, whereas Lori is now a fragile pregnant lady.

 

[bobbrews]

A great death would be Lori having twins, one healthy, one stillborn. Then the stillborn comes back to life and kills Lori... Rick having to put down one zombie baby, while his other baby lives.

That's so sick...and awesome...

 

[rifraf]

Lori does things like drive off by herself which leads to a car accident that then makes Shane have to leave the group to go find her. She refuses to let Carl learn to shoot a gun and is even hesitant to learn herself. It's stuff like that that bothers me way more than the fact that she's pregnant and if you re watch season two you can see a few situations where she certainly stirs the pot a bit between Rick and Shane.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Wow, its awesome to see the one and only Lori sympathizer in the world is a brewer .

 

[bobbrews]

Lol. I just "get" the story and the characters a bit more I think. I have always analyzed people quite well. Part of having a psychology degree I guess. But I've also read the comics so I know kind of where the producers are going and what the original writer intended.

I too have read the comics. Hated her in those as well.

Haha

Carol was actually handling a rifle this time at least! I can't remember her killing many walkers up to this point.

Also, is it just me, or was there more walker-killing in the first episode of Season 3 than in the first half of Season 2? :rockin:

Indeed, there was some mad zombie killing going on. Long may it continue while they try to clear the prison.

This episode has renewed by enjoyment of this show for sure. Last season got way boring while they settled in at the farm. All of them look worn down and dirty like they should be, I am going from watching the show because I like the genre to watching the show because I like the show.

Not too many shows get better as the seasons go on, I hope they can keep it up.

Pretty condescending way to justify your differences with us. Couldn't just be because we have differing opinions, right?

 

[bobbrews]

Sorry Mr. Sensitive.

 

[Airborneguy]

That's not being sensitive, it's catching you being high and mighty. Your opinion is your opinion, it's not you 'getting' more than we do. As a matter of fact, now I 'get' why you sympathize with Lori.

Well that's just like, your opinion man

 

[Tnoodle]

That baby better come out hungry for brains.

 

[Zuljin]

I didn't read the comics, so I don't know if zombie baby is in it.

But how would that work? I get they are all carriers. Is zombie fetus satiated so long as it's on the umbilical cord? Even if, zombies don't typically grow or regenerate or have any time in their undead life sequence where they advance to a peak of physical being. Fresh zombie is as good as it gets. It's all down hill from there.

However, they did have that scene in town where the zombies were working together to bait the humans. Or was that a different show?

Wow. Now I hate Lori even more, just because people act like you.

Hey, good for you man.

 

[MalFet]

I know everyone here hates the zombies, but I think that's misplaced. It's not your fault...I just "get" the zombies better than the rest of you I think. Part of that is probably my degree in brainology. I have always analyzed flesh-eating abominations pretty well.
