Poor, poor Maggie...

/Of course, maybe they'll surprise us and Glenn will be the one to get raped.

Matticus		2012-11-25 12:56:29 PM

Don't we already know the answer to each of those questions?

Is subby a week behind? Find out tonight at 9PM ET on AMC.

MoronLessOff		2012-11-25 01:13:54 PM

Michone knows enough about Andrea's group to put together that the prison gang is the same Andrea was with at the farm house. She's going to fill in Rick and they'll form a rescue party which will head to Woodbury by the end of the episode, leaving us at a cliff hanger. Andrea will not find out about Glen's capture yet.

My thoughts.

How sad is it, that the video game had a deeper plot and more involved characters?

My daughter got me to download the game, and while the gameplay was basic, the plot and characters had me hooked. And for the most part, the characters in the game were at least consistent...

I'm dreading tonight's episode. Maggie and Glenn are my favorite characters so they better not get hurt!

Glenn gets his teeth kicked in and Maggie gets locked up in the Rape Room. Happy Thanksgiving.

It could all be in Rick's head, or maybe Carl is autistic and stareing at a snow globe?

So, Woodbury has its annual Thanksgiving Day Play, and Glenn and Maggie get to play the Native Americans?

I wouldn't have sought it out. It's one of those cheap tricks authors use to show how horrible the bad guy is. And it's always end used in Fantasy fiction as the ultimate degradation of heroic female character.

There's a certain level of cartoony you can get away with with violence, because its far removed from reality. You can't really do that with rape.

I knew a woman who stopped playing in a role playing game because the DM insisted making his fantasy word "real" with lots of rape.

hubiestubert: How sad is it, that the video game had a deeper plot and more involved characters?

I felt that way about the new (relatively new) Tron movie - the plot of the game was 10 times better than the plot of the movie.

Unfortunately, the gameplay mechanics sucked, so I never got to the end.

Trigger warning

I always think what the pitch for such a movie is like: "So, next we have a long, agonizing rape scene, filled with the screams of our buxom protagonist. But it won't be exploitative at all and rather quite tastefully done." ???

//problem is that most writers use it lazily

Well, I see we're off to a good start. Maybe there won't be any rape at all. Maybe they'll make Maggie tea and give her pretty dresses. It could happen.

Because it's PC, they don't rape Maggie. That's discrimination. Everyone instead rapes the Asian kid. Again and again, Merle and the Governer, and all the rest.

And, for the rest of the season, he doesn't sit down.

It's a ballsy re-write of the original story, I'll grant you.

I remember one indie film maker was really happy that he filmed a graphic rape scene because it "was real. I'm not letting the audience off."

Look, there are stories that deal with rape rather well- but when it's something that is meant as entertainment- it becomes obvious that its just laziness.

Will Michonne find her way to the prison? Really, subby? Did you watch the previous episode?

I guess what I'm saying is I'd like to see Merle dead.

I watch Walking Dead every week, and just watched Love, Actually on Wednesday, and never put together this was the same actor. Yes, I'm neither terribly bright nor observant.

Maybe you will get to rejoice if they are rescued violently in the end. Don't know if they will be, but it would be nice.

What do you watch at 9am? Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, or Family Guy? Thank God they rerun Boardwalk and Walking dead over and over. The DVR can only record two at the same time.

Homer had great line a few weeks ago. "There are like 8 great shows on Sunday night, none of them on FOX of course." Hahahaha. It is still funny.

His junk will be replaced with a brass meteorological station.

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 1 OF THE GAME

Did anyone else decide to let Carley die because she was simply too stupid to let live? She was a good shot and all, but the scene where she couldn't figure out that you needed batteries for a radio to work, followed up by her putting the batteries in backwards when you gave her some pretty much sealed her fate for me. I just decided that she was a liability.

Not to mention that being a good shot doesn't help all that much because the shots will draw more walkers than going in with an axe or screwdriver, and eventually you are going to run out of ammo. I just figured that Doug was the better choice to save, but apparently only 29% of people agree.

/Haven't played the other episodes yet, so I don't know if saving Doug instead will work out or not.

Methadone Girls:

Merle needs to die. He won't forgive the group for leaving him behind.

From what I gather he wasn't all that chummy with them before that. Of all the people that are enthralled to the Gov only Merle has the courage to defy him....by lying about Michonne.
