I need to read the letters column more often. Steven Yeun wrote a letter which appeared in issue 102. Spoilers for issue 100...and season two of Friday Night Lights. So read at your own risk:
Did anything actually happen last episode? I almost felt like fast-forwarding the show. I almost feel like they could have skipped this episode and go straight to the next one.
And if you want to make people believe that 1 zombie ate a whole human... yes, you need better explanation.
Oh and did anyone ever doubt that Sofia's mom was alive? I'm surprised they smeared that out over 3 episodes, what was the use?

My only complaint is Andrea. Cannot die soon enough.
Agreed.
I hate everything about her.
The actress' face. Her voice.
I'm hoping she's only being used to go deeper into the character of the Governor (considering Mishonne now left her, and they're not tied together anymore, and all the info Merle needed from her has been extracted. Her usefulness to the show has been spent), and then he'll kill her in some gruesome way - because shit is getting too non-zombie between them - and their entire shit is just boring.
Maybe it's a pacing thing, though.
I figure if every episode has the knob turned to 11, soon 11 will be the norm for that knob, and there will be nowhere to take the intensity so you just turn that knob down to a 2 every once in a while. So then when you turn the knob back to 11, the crowds all fist-pumping, rocking, and moshing again.
I just really, really hope Andrea's story, and the last episode was the shitty ballad amidst the sea of fists.
I want that cunts head in a fishbowl.

Glen is badass. Great ep. So cool to see Rick and Michonne together. Can't wait for next week. The Governor is probably going to snap completely now that he knows there's nothing left of Penny.
This mid-season finale stuff is fucking bullshit. I wish I didn't have an addiction to AMC shows. Mad Men...Breaking Bad...this show....
It's okay, karma evens it out.
Anyway, great episode. The Governor keeps upping the creep factor...and who knows what is going to go down. I'm really impressed with this season, which has taken this show from something I watch because I feel obligated to watch it, to something I watch because I'm genuinely excited to watch it. Really good stuff this season.
Glen has come a long way. They changed the story a bit with the Governor raping the hot chick from Chuck...I believe he goes after Michonne in the comics. And Merle is doing a MUCH BETTER JOB this season than Season 1, when he played "bad redneck racist stereotype." The dude has acting chops, and I still struggle to explain Season 1.
SPOILER....sort of:
I'm assuming the "mid season fuck-me-up-the-ass finale" is going to be Rick and co. attacking the Governor's town, and fucking shit up...which will set up the finale where the Governor strikes back.
Who knows what side Andrea will fall on when all is said and done, but she is kind of a ditsy cunt. I still remember the sniper incident. I'm rooting for Glen and the hot chick from Chuck. And of course Rick.
It sucks to be that guy sleeping in the cabin...poor guy can't catch a break. His dog dies, his house gets invaded, and some strangers fuck up his shit. That's a shitty way to go.
She runs back to the Prison to see her old group and she finds out that two friends are dead, Hershel has one leg, they have no food, are surrounded by zombies, she was ratted-out by her best friend, and Rick has gone nuts. They have committed to a fight she believes they can't win, and showed no consideration for the people in Woodbury (many innocent, and remember a Woodbury bystander was killed by the group). Essentially, her old group has gone completely to shit.
Meanwhile, Woodbury has plenty of food, weapons, ammo, and an army. As for her obsession with Phil... women are attracted to security, and Andrea has always gone with the most "alpha" male she could find. While nuts, Phil is pretty alpha.
I can't say I agree with her decision making, but I don't find it unbelievable. As we've seen time and time again in this series, people make bad decisions when under severe stress.
