Unless I missed it, I CAN’T BELIEVE no one has yet noticed a certain someone missing from that photo... (Daryl)

[KoRn]

My death predictions for this season are Glen, Tara, Bob, Beth, and perhaps Maggie.

Possibly Daryl and or Carol too.

Hell, no one is really safe, except for Rick, Carl, and Michonne; IMO.

I still hate that Hershel was killed off, but there’s no way he would have lasted long after the prison fell. About the only places he could live in that world would be a place like his farm and the prison.

I’ll always miss Merle. They should have kept him around, but he did go out in a great way!

[CatherineofAragon]

That’s what I’m talking about, LOL

Thanks, CJ.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Daryl fans noticed. :) But also see post #40.

[Vince Ferrer]

I think Carol is safer than Rick. She is a more interesting character, possibly the most interesting. And she has shown she knows what it takes to survive.

[Patriot Babe]

awww Thank you. Yes indeed, that is where he should be UP IN FRONT!

Much better pic!

I really, really, like Rick. It doesn't mean I agree with his character all of the time, but I don't know if I could watch without him. And my daughter could never watch without Daryl. So I really don't see either of these characters going until the show is on it's way out. My daughter is 16, I've hit the big 40 but it's not even an age thing— half her friends love Rick, half of mine choose Daryl! (We all actually love both, just one is a bit more preferred. I love when they work together.) I also would have a hard time seeing the show without Glen. And I like Michone.

Oh who am I kidding, I'll watch until the end but I like Rick!

[Vince Ferrer]

I don't dislike Rick or Daryl, or want them to die, I just think they have done the most with Carol's character.

But I am predicting Glen's death this season.

If you get the audiobook of World War Z, the complete version, you’d love it.
Loads of good actors voicing those parts.
Todd Wainio (the soldier who fought in the Battle of Yonkers) was voiced by Mark Hamill.
Carl Reiner, Jeri Ryan, Rob Reiner, Alan Alda, Nathan Fillion, Simon Pegg, Frank_Darabont, etc.
Great stuff.

The worst thing about not being onboard earlier is we can tell when a character may not make it much longer because the actor or actress shows up on other TV shows.

[Cats Pajamas]

Okay #1 your name is scaring me. Are you freaking related to Stephen King? # 2 what scares me more is who you think are good actors, Rob Reiner and Mark Hamill. I don’t guess you could pick two bigger leftists. What the hell....

I saw a really funny little cartoon yesterday, wish I’d saved it.

Beth and Daryl sitting at table and Daryl says “what are you doing with my computer??” and Beth says “oh nothing”
Then it shows Carol sitting in front of a laptop with the message “Daryl Dixon has just unfriended you”

RandallFlagg’s a good’un. :D

"The worst thing about not being onboard earlier is we can tell when a character may not make it much longer because the actor or actress shows up on other TV shows."

Before last season, a Freeper said that he might have the opportunity to work with Scott Wilson, and that he (the Freeper)wondered if it meant he'd be leaving TWD. Sure enough, Herschel died. :(

"Beth and Daryl sitting at table and Daryl says “what are you doing with my computer??” and Beth says “oh nothing” Then it shows Carol sitting in front of a laptop with the message “Daryl Dixon has just unfriended you”"

LOL!

(The little snot!)

Okay #1 your name is scaring me.

The only scary thing about me is how I tend to smell after some tasty Japanese food.

Are you freaking related to Stephen King?

Nope.
Years ago, my kid Sister said that I looked like Flagg from the TV miniseries, "The Stand."
My hair's a bit longer than Jamey Sheridan's, though...
It's down to my belt (Excellent for leftist infiltration ops).

# 2 what scares me more is who you think are good actors, Rob Reiner and Mark Hamill. I don’t guess you could pick two bigger leftists.

Yeah, they're leftists. Doesn't mean that they can't be good at their jobs.
Look at the irony of the whole thing: A hugh batch of liberals involved in a series of Max Brooks's books (The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z) actively involved in the idea of firearms being useful and essential to normal people to defend their lives.
Brooks (I think -according to the research I did on him) is a gigantic leftist, too.
They are kinda cementing and reinforcing our second amendment ideals nicely -and they might not even know it.
(Unless they DO know it, and are just keeping their mouths shut and their true feelings concealed so they can keep employed in show business)

What the hell....

Sorry. It's just who I am.

My apologies for it taking so long to reply. I work 12-hour shifts, and wanted to take my time to thoughtfully reply to your comment.

[redshawk]

Nope, you and IronJack are wrong.
He has become a star of the show.

[IronJack]

Glen is about as phony a character as you can get. He’s a scrawny wimp who is portrayed as somehow being this devoted protector of Maggie, but the reality is she’s probably tougher — and certainly better looking — than he is. She needs him like a fish needs an umbrella.

I thought Rick should have popped him when they were still in Atlanta.

They killed off Herschel, who was actually an interesting character, and they kept Glen? What kind of insanity is that?
