They couldn't find any actors from the south?

True enough. Other ridiculous things that show that Hollywood doesn't have a clue about the South:

1) Show is set in Georgia, but there are very few black people.

2) Show is in Georgia, and guns are hard to find AND few people know how to use them. They actually had multiple episodes where the characters debated whether everyone should have a gun or not.

3) Very few people even attempt a southern accent, and for the ones that do, they suck.

She's the stereotypical perpetually angry black person libs so much love.

Angry? You're way off base and the start of Sunday's episode with her and Andrea in the forest with the "2 boys" gives a brief insight into her history...("they were below human")....

And don't forget, it was Michonne who saw the Gov. for what he is and couldn't leave Mayberry fast enough while her "friend" Andrea chose to stay on. It was Michonne who returned to Mayberry with the others and killed the Gov's zomboid daughter and took out the Gov's eye.

And it was Rick at the prison who didn't want her to stay with them.

Up until now, it's been Michonne who has been rejected by everyone so you can't very well blame her for the attitude she has........

Sorry bro but race has nothing to do with her anger.........

Had either one of them taken out the Gov, the season would basically have ended already,

What an interesting concept.......I'll have to think about that.

I don’t get all the bad mouthing. Love the show, and I think the last couple episodes have been excellent. I appear to be alone in really liking Andrea. She’s gone through as much or more character development as anybody there, from the frightened fatalist to the survivor badass. She’s the one I’d want to hook up with than any of the other women there. She’s got that basic hotness and she’s good in a fight. :-)

What we need to worry about is the douchebag apocalypse, which is here right now.

When you say "we", I'm assuming you have a mouse in your pocket.

As for the rest of us, we try to enjoy life without having to think about politics 24/7 and the Walking Dead certainly takes our minds off that.

I'd ask you what your thoughts are about the Detroit Tigers making it to the world series again but I'm afraid I'd get the same response.........LOL!

As a side note, there is another Forum running under the heading "POLITICS", you might want to skip over there and vent your political frustrations.......

More than that, she should have killed him when she had the chance.

Good thing you're not a drama TV series writer, you'd have written yourself out of a job after the first episode......LOL!

The complete lack of situational awareness

Glad we have a navy seal on site to offer their analysis......

Its just too stupid to be believable.

One would think that with your superior intellect and insight, the mere title of the series "the Walking Dead" would have kept you from even watching the first episode.

And you've been watching this series for how long?.......LOL!

The series is just a moronic cult gathering,

Then why are you watching it? And if you're not watching it, then what are you doing criticizing the rest of us who are when you obviously have no idea what this series is all about?

You're obviously confused Eye, stick to your Asian dating sites.......

It’s not a show about zombies. It’s a show about people that has zombies as part of the scenery. This is evidently lost on some people. Like the person who wrote this.

I will agree with the author, though, that the last two episodes have been a bore.

It wouldn't take much to morph this show into one of the best of all time.

So what is the current "Best of all Time"? And how does TWD compare to it?

Your thoughts would certainly be appreciated........

Obviously they did not clear the house before they started searching, or they left the door open and one walked in undetected. Its just too stupid to be believable.

Maybe. But we've also seen some evidence that the zombies can perform basic functions, like opening doors. In the pilot or maybe second episode--I can't remember which--Morgan's zombie wife tries to open the door to their house, which was locked. In the episode when Andrea was attacked in the RV, the door was shut and the zombie got in.

I do agree, though, that the characters make some fairly inexplicable decisions. For one, I don't understand why Rick keeps refusing to allow other people into the prison when he knows he is going to war with the Governor. I recognize that there are trust issues, but why wouldn't you pick up backpack guy? Wouldn't an able-bodied male be worth his weight in gold, especially since there are only 3 (Rick, Glen, and Daryl) in their group? Why did he kick out Tyrese and his crew? Dumb.

And now I’m rooting for Milton to get out of there, but I don’t think the poor guy’s going to live long.

Maybe, but I don't understand why the Governor hasn't killed him already. The governor knows that Milton told andrea about the plan and knows that Milton burned the zombies, and the Governor, other than looking mad, didn't do anything about it. Why not? Why would he keep Milton--a person who is actively trying to thwart his plans--around? My only guess is that Milton is either related to him or provides some other critical value that we haven't yet seen.

My guess, for what it's worth, is that Milton will let Andrea out.
