Judging by your comments in Dustin’s Walking Dead recap, y’all were none too pleased to see You-Know-Who.
Ghost [DELETED] make me cry to the heavens. Why can’t she just be gone! Rick is losing a lot of points with me and almost all of the cooler characters have been shipped off…This prison is a rocky ship indeed. (Via)
Indeed, CokedUpJesus, a name that could also be used to describe Rick, who’s rapidly devolving from a well-meaning leader to a, well, crazy person with a martyr complex who screams at nothing. It’s only a matter of time before he’s recreating the “Don’t Open, Dead Inside” warning with his own feces, not paint. Anyway, You-Know-Who returned, which, OK, but “The Suicide King” could/should have finished stronger. Via Redditor kamoc.
Scratch that. That’s how every episode of The Walking Dead should end. Either that, or this:
AW HELL…yes.

WHY CAN’T I QUIT YOU T-DOG
Rick is the worst. Well Rick and Michonne. And Andrea.
Andrea is the worst…
Andrea isn’t the worst. She’s the first lady of a fascist town. . . and a lawyer. Never forget she was a lawyer.
Everyone’s negative opinions of this show make me wonder why they watch it at all.
Me too. The haterade tastes good, though.
I really like the show, just some of the characters have been terrible.
Nothing wrong with criticizing something that you feel could be way better.
but at a certain point when you’ve been saying the show can be way better for 3 seasons isn’t it way past time to just admit to yourself that you don’t like the show very much and should just stop wasting your time?
well I mean, it’s not like we’re all super busy doctors here or anything. It’s a good way to kill an hour. It’s either that or pay more attention to my wife and f**k that.
Let me put it this way. I like vanilla ice cream. But cookie dough ice cream is way better. If vanilla is all that’s available, I’ll eat it and like it. But if the vanilla comes in a cookie dough tub, with every mouthful I’ll think to myself “this is nice, but I wish it was cookie dough”. I’ll still eat it, because it’s good enough. But it could be so much better.
The pilot episode, and the first half of season three, were the cookie dough tub. The show itself is vanilla ice cream. Only the vanilla is undead, and getting shot in the brains, and it’d be so much better if it was undead cookie dough being shot in the brains.
I still eat it, because it’s good enough to eat. But I know it could be better. It could be cookie dough.
that analogy doesn’t work.
the only way it works is if you bought a tub of cookie dough ice cream, the first bite was delicious cookie dough, but somehow every bite after that was vanilla and you would randomly get a cookie dough bite every now and then to sucker you into eating more.
not to mention, the idea of “it’s all that’s available” doesn’t work either. this isn’t 1975 where there’s 3 channels. there are literally thousands of entertainment options for you to choose from at any given moment
Billybob’s ice cream analogue needs all of the awards for internet commenting. I couldn’t have said how I feel about this show any better if my life depended on it.
i don’t know. it’s a dumb zombie show barely dressed up as something more than that. all i really want out of it is basic brain checked out entertainment and it delivers on that more often than not. Breaking Bad/The Wire/etc. it ain’t, nor it ever was, nor it ever will be. nitpicking it is futile and a waste of time.
T Dog: “I THOUGHT I WAS YOUR FRIEND, NOT JUST YOUR TOKEN!”
Yes
“Sorry T-Dog, Ty was on the Wire man!”
I want the final battle between Rick and the Governor to devolve into them shouting nonsense and spastically swinging at each other like kids. Because that would be amazing.
I was hoping they would settle things in a pokemon-like battle in which they fight using the undead corpses of their friends and family.
Vengeful ghost T-Dog still can’t get lines.
He’ll be exorcised and replaced by another black ghost almost immediately.
I still can’t believe they leave the Rapist convict alone with Blonde Daughter. PROBABLY not a good idea.
Hey, they don’t know he’s a rapist. Just because it’s obvious to us…
That’s rapist serial killer, if I’m not mistaken.
I liked the last episode. I think its biggest flaw was that it was the premier of the 2nd half and it was slower pace. If this episode was the finale of the first half and next Sunday’s show was the premier (which the trailer leads up to believe that it’s action pact), I think we’d all look at the episode differently.
I dunno, I liked the episode as a whole but both the opening and the ending bothered me and I feel like that would be the case if there had only been a week’s gap.
I’m curious to know if the Lorie ghost is in the comic. If not, I think it could be a pretty bad path to go down. Looking forward to Sunday’s ep either way.
Personally, I’d love to see TWD spend about 2-4 episodes going back in time at the beginning of the apocalypse and give some of the newer characters a backstory. I’d love to see why I should care about Tyreese and his group and Michonne. It’d be pretty cool to see how Maybury got to where it is now. The show is going to be around for a few seasons. TWD can spare a few episodes now so later events mean something to us.
Providing a rich background for any story seems to be gauche in today’s television market except for a few shows that are awesome.
“Why should you care about these guys? Cuz REASONS!” *does line of blow
-TV Exec
so officially who is crazier
rick or the gov???
A better ending would’ve been to have Rick stop jumping (at the plot’s convenience) from sane to batshit crazy and back to sane again.
Rick: Guys, we have to stay here… (*hits crazy button, danger approaches*) WHO PUT VOICES IN MY WAFFLES? WAS IT YOU, LORI? I SEE YOU BACK THERE IN THE SHADOWS! YOU NEVER APPROVED OF WAFFLES! I LOVE-HATE YOU SO MUCH! (*danger ends, hits sane button*)… because it’s the only safe and secure place we have. Wait, what just happened?
Or an even better ending would be to kill off Michonne.
No brainer. Rick’s wall of zombie heads…. no wait… the Gov talking to dead people on the telephone… no wait… Rick taking care of his zombie daughter… no wait… the Gov freaking out at his dead wife’s ghost….
It’s a tie.
Any idea why it was titled “The Suicide King?”
The King of Hearts card is known as the Suicide King. The card ambiguously depicts a leader either wielding a sword or sticking it in his own head.
Presumably the title refers to either Rick/the Governor (or both). They both wield considerable power over their groups but have now put them in danger with their decisions (the Governor’s apathy and Rick’s distrust of outsiders/bouts of craziness).
Thanks man, I’m going to sine your pitty on the runny kine.
Sa da tay
Daryl, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
that’s all I have to add.
valentine walking corpse wife is a nice touch
