(Headsup! This article contains major events from this week's episode of The Walking Dead so if you haven't watched it yet please don't read on.)
What does one possibly say about
The Walking Dead except
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!
Even that isn't intense or loud enough to aptly describe how I've been reeling while watching. Shrieking, flying off my couch in horror - torn between the need to look away versus a rabid need to look and
know.
I was amazed that I managed to stay sane through the choppy-choppy of Hershel's leg three weeks ago and now I'm trying to process Lori's worst nightmare C-section scenario. *brain frying sounds*
The worst aspect of it is that all would have been fine for them if things had just gone according to plan - they had that prison cell all ready for her, they had anaesthetic, everything would have been perfect if things had gone as planned.
It's the same-old problem of life not so? I've really been trying to accept that the only time things are perfect is when they
aren't because nothing ever is. No matter how much you plan or prepare or whatever, there's always something that makes things perfectly imperfect.
Sort of like Lori's death. As much as it sucks for Rick and Carl it had to happen as it did so that she can come back as a ghost -
hopefully. In the original comics she starts appearing as a ghost to Rick so I'm hoping the same happens in the show.
The producers are being very hush-hush about whether she will or not -
and about who the baby daddy is. According to show producers it's most likely Shane's - they also say that the world of the show would need DNA testing to know for sure.
The other unanswered question is whether or not Carol's still alive. Did T-Dog save her? I'm sure he did. I reckon they would have shown hard evidence of her death or her turning if she's a walker. Interestingly T-Dog was only going to be in three episodes of the show - he was originally going to leave in the first season.
In an interview with TV Guide
IronE Singleton had this to say about T-Dog's death:
"I had no idea I was going to go out so heroically. When I was first cast, I was told I'd do two may be three episodes and wound up staying for three seasons. I'm so thankful for that.
"When I got the death call from Glen, he was very gracious and appreciative. When I read the script and was told T-Dog was going to die and when I read it I was thankful he would go out as a hero; it made me feel really good, really appreciated."
