as much as I"m totally looking forward to the Avengers' movie, next up WILL be The Dark Knight Rises.  And I agree I'd rather have ScarJo's Black Widow over AnnHath's Kittygirl any day.

Maybe IF the previous Thor and Cap lines would go on clearance (instead of just disappearing) I'll pick a few up but the line seems a little underwhelming, considering the price.

On another mesasage board, someone asked why didn't Dale become a zombie like Randall and Shane and I mentioned that Daryl shot Dale in the head to destroy his brain;

Actually - Darryl shot Dale in the head as an act of mercy - to end his suffering.  He had no idea at that point the that living need headshots at the end also to prevent them from turning into Walkers.

I remember watching the marathans for season 2, when Daryl returned from squirrel hunting after Rick showed up and a few walkers showed up, he shot them in the head and said something to the effect of: 'Ya gotta shoot 'em in th' head, donchall know nuthin?' I always took that to mean he knew you had to shoot them in the head. But also I agree he shot Dale that way to put him out of his misery too.

They've done a 'great job' of hyping up character appearances then the actual story underwhelms. I remember this time last year I was so disappointed in "Sahvage" Oppress that I didn't care about him one way or the other. He was billed as this 'monster creation of the Dathomir Nightsisters' and ended up being all Emo and a poor excuse for Maul's replacement.  I wasn't hopefull when they announced the re-appearnce of Darth Maul at the end of last year or the lead-in to this year's finale. At least they didn't go through all the hype and just kill him off after 5 min
The Clone Wars should focus more on the on going battles between the Republic and the Seperatists; all this other stuff, while not bad in its own right, is more of what I hoped the live action TV show would focus on. Guess since THAT'S never gonna pan out, they decided to incorporate some of it into the CW series.

I agree with everyone's assesments, while the spoilers I read were dead on, it was still very exciting to see how it all played out. I really only got into the show during the season 1 and 2 marathan before this second half got started back in Jan/Feb so that helped keep everything in mind. Unlike Lost, after 5 or 6 years, you kinda forgot a lot of stuff that had happened before by the time it ended.
I could see the character development of many of them, from bad to better and bad to worse a la Shane. The major spoiler/reveal that everyone is already infected was widely suspected by us but helped answer to them the WHY some people became zombies without obvious bites, scratches which seemed to only speed up the process once injured.  And with Randall and Shane becoming zombies after being killed by conventional means proved that. But the other questions is HOW? Was it airborne, some kind of aresol chemical released into the air and why?
Anyway, so many interesting things happened with the group - Lori freaking out at Rick over what she prodded him to do to Shane; Glen/Maggie getting together - now if he'll man up a little and stop letting her boss him around lol; Hershal leaving his farm and for now, giving Rick his support; Daryl coming into his own, even still as an outsider (at least to himself). Maybe he and Carol will hook up or at least get her to quit her bitchen.
Glad to see Andrea make it and thanks to the character from the comics which I haven't read - Michonne coming to Andrea's rescue. How cool was it seeing her dragging her two zombies behind her on chains? I've read somewhere it says one is her brother and other one is her boyfriend and she keeps them around to disguise her from other walkers.

I agree with ya Jessie, maybe they'll throw in a line by Glen or Darryl saying something like 'maybe we should have some kind of body armor or something'... to which Herschal pipes up and says he's got some stuff in the basement; he did say they could hold up down there for three or four days - given the fact they're about to be overrun with walkers. I wonder would they eventually wander off if they couldn't find anyone to eat?
From what I've read online about the finale, it's gonna be brutal and the cast as we know it will be drastically reduced. My bet is Herschal and the daughter who was in a coma and wanted to die will go; Glen may die saving Maggie but then she's just as bad-azz tomboy so she might be able to hold her own. Probably carol, sophia's mom will go too.  I could see Daryl and T-bag er i mean T-dog being able to fight off enough walkers to survive. PLus Rick, Lori and Carl, the Jr Zombie-surrogate-father killer.

Yeah to us - the viewers, carl just leaving the walker out there is plain stupid but that's part of his story arc, I guess. Eventhough Dale was getting to be a broken record as 'the voice of reason', the world as they know has changed and they have to change with it and try to make the best of it.
I mean, in 'reality of star wars', people got upset when they killed chewie off in the first book of the NJO, but Han probably shouldn't have survived being frozen in carbonite or at lest jabba should have kept him under better guard. Or Lando shouldn't have made it out of the death star2 at the end.
Oh well, it's fun and games...
