"The Walking Dead" on AMC HD - Page 126

Here's how I understood that whole scenario. Morgan doesn't really have a death wish; he was just overcome with emotion and wasn't in the right frame of mind when he asked Rick to kill him (he has been through a lot). Once he settled down and got his bearings he realized he needed to continue "Clearing." He doesn't want to die because he knows his purpose. Morgan been endured more than most, and it clearly affects his mood swings, but I don't think he truly wants to die.

They said on the show that the Police station didn't have half the guns he had there. So most of the weapons he got from somewhere other than the police station.

Wasn't the knife wound pretty high? Well the actual stabbing part seemed lower, but when they showed the actual wound, it looked like it was very high, closer to his shoulder. Not in his lungs. Besides if he had been stabbed into his lung he would have been in pretty bad shape.

I agree. Morgan has lost all hope. More, he refuses to allow even a glimmer of hope because he is sure it will be destroyed, It was the genius of the writers to offer rick as counterpoint because we could see, despite everything, Rick still has hope. Maybe not a lot and he might even think he has none, but he still pushes on with a vague idea of it making a differnce. Not that he really believes it but because it is all he can do. The human condition in a nutshell...

Andrew Lincoln continues to impress. His portrayal of Rick is not only great tv, its also one of the best acting jobs ever in the horror genre, imo,

At the beginning when they did the "previously on The Walking Dead" and showed a Morgan clip, I was wondering why they went back so far. But dismissed it as soon as the show started. Then right before Rick pulls the mask off of him I had a lightbulb moment. OMG! That's gonna be Morgan. Great episode.

Last week there were alot of Morgan references made around the interwebs so as soon as I saw the guy on the roof I figured it was him - until he got shot. That was pretty cool.

Typical plot device has the written-off-character showing up just in time to make a difference...

I try and avoid anything with potential spoilers. And it paid off. I was genuinely surprised to see him. I guess that poor backpacker didn't get the memo that Morgan hasn't cleared that section of the state yet.

I saw a big box full of grenades. I seem to recall Rick commenting to Michone that Morgan had many more weapons than had been available in the police station. Presumably he found a National Guard or other military installation that the Governor hadn't cleaned out.

That was cold, but also a good hunch. This long into the apocalypse and the hiker can't take down a single zombie? Dead weight...

Somehow, when they first did not pick him up it reminded me of an opening scene in the original Dawn of the Dead movie. Flyboy, the girl and the two SWAT officers are in the helicopter as it is getting ready to take off and this guy leans in and PLEADS if anyone has a cigarette. "Sorry, no." As soon as it is in the air everyone pulls out a cigarette...

I haven't watched last night's Talking Dead yet but did they ever address why Morgan became unconscious after a pistol-shot to his bullet proof vest. I can understand a pretty sizeable bruise, maybe even a few broken ribs but he was wearing a motorcycle helmet. He should've remained conscious. No?

Yeah I saw those references as well, and the opening scene was a give away for sure, but when the guy got shot wearing the helmet/ mask I thought it was his Son they killed , but like how it went down either way.

Michone was a chatty paddy, this must have been a record for her for smiling twice?

I can't wait to watch it again, got love DVR's

It was addressed in episode one of season one when DEAD PEOPLE ROSE UP AND KILLED EVERYBODY.

It wasn't mentioned in Talking Dead but my assumption was that he hit his head when he was knocked down by the bullet's impact.

LOL Excellent!

Nic:pe.

I'm only kidding, aeromorris.

Interesting...

He was wearing a helmet.

with ricks wound where morgan stabbed him during the fight was definitely lower then where he bandaged up later. He stabbed him at heart level in the fight but he showed bleed ing at the end from up near his armpit or upper front shoulder

Correct. Michone asked Rick if they had all of those weapons at the police station. He replied "No, He's been busy." Although he has lost it, Morgan sounded wise when he said he didn't want to be part of Rick's fight (with the Governor) after noticing Rick was taking a lot of guns with him. Morgan said Rick would die by the bite or die by the bullet.

I'm a huge fan of Lennie James.

He single handedly made Jericho "must-watch" TV...

They talked to Lennie in Parade magazine this Sunday. It's inside the cover, in the "Where Are They Now" or whatever it's called feature. For some reason, I forgot that they only mention people there when a reappearance is imminent. So, I was clueless until I saw the "Previously On..." bit before the episode.

Yep.

He should have found some pallets to put up against the door.

*ducking*

'Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman creating exorcism TV series
By James Hibberd, EW.com's 'Inside TV' Blog - Mar. 4, 2013

Robert Kirkman is working on a new comic book and horror series combo.

The Walking Dead creator and executive producer is writing a script based on his upcoming comic book series set in the world of exorcisms.

Kirkman is developing the script for Fox International Channels, which distributes The Walking Dead to non-U.S. territories. The project follows a young man who has been “plagued by possession since he was a child. Now an adult, he embarks on a spiritual journey to find answers but what he uncovers could mean the end of life on Earth as we know it.” To get a series a green light, the project would likely have to get a U.S. network on board too to distribute the show in North America (which shouldn’t be a problem if the script is compelling given the success of The Walking Dead).

“Exorcism has captivated movie audiences all over the world but has never been explored on television,” said Sharon Tal Yguado, executive vp of global scripted programming and original development at FIC. “Robert Kirkman, who forever changed the scope of cable TV with The Walking Dead, possesses an unparalleled talent of telling big concept stories in a smart and incredibly genuine way. We couldn’t be more excited to be working with him on this project, which we see as a reinvention of the genre.”

Added Kirkman: “Sharon Tal Yguado and the entire team at Fox International Channels have been instrumental in making The Walking Dead the worldwide success that it has become. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to continue working with this forward-thinking and extremely talented group.”

Great episode. When my wife saw the opening and Rick talking to Morgan on the walkie she immediately said, Looks like Morgan is finally going to be back this episode.

Glad Michone is part of the group now.

I have a feeling Morgan may be the Deus Ex Machina during the inevitable final battle with the Govenor and the prison. Especially since they had Rick tell him about the prison and Morgan's comment about people will want what he has and all the hints of problems he is having at the prison.

I still think it will be Tyrese who will kill the Governor..while stopping him from killing Rick

Great episode. Stupid "Previously On..." was a spoiler, I need to make sure to skip through that from now on.
When Carl and Michone went into the restaurant, it was the first time in a while I found it suspenseful.
Random things I really liked:
The poor hiker.
The sign on the road that said "Erin we tried for stone mountain" and then later you see a walker wearing a bracelet with the name Erin.
The chalk text on the walls.
The booby traps.
Rats on skateboards.
The colorful (paper mache?) cat.
Just an all around solid episode.

I disagree. My wife and I both thought it was a dull 'filler' episode which didn't have much scare factor and the character development was meh.
