When Michonne was breaking into the Governor's house/rooms
to get her sword, there's a quick cut of her glancing to the side and
seeing what I think is the duffle bag of guns Rick originally brought
to Atlanta, which Andrea tried to take with her when escaping from
Hershel's Farm.

Was this supposed to mean something?

I dunno. I couldn't tell what it was in the corner that she was looking
at. That's an interesting theory.

Besides The Governor took Andrea's weapons?

Wow, what a way to end an ep! I suspect that phone call is going to turn
out to be hallucinatory and from Lori.

The opening scene with The Governor was creepy as hell. I wonder how he
seemed to have (mostly) calmed down his walker daughter? Now we know why
he was so super interested in how Michonne tamed hers a few weeks ago.

Am I correct in thinking that Michonne never told Andrea about the caged
walkers she discovered and subsequently destroyed while she was snooping
around? I would think that would immediately convince Anfrea, given what
happened with the contents of Hershell's barn last season. I really hate
when people don't discuss things they have seen, a la [i]Lost[/i]!
Speaking of which, The Governor's diary seemed to be full of little
girl's names, leading to me to think he could be a child molester with a
thing for little girls. That diary seemed to be a direct allusion to The
Shining.

Daryl in a poncho was hot. I'm just saying.

I thought Lori had turned into the ugliest pregnant walker in the world
until I was watching "[i]The Talking Dead[/i]" and the director
explained that it was sppsd to be a walker who had feasted on Lori's
remains to the point of immobility. I have problems with that, but I'll
go along with it. Happy Thanksgiving with The Walkers!

I wonder how truthful The Governor was being about the walker games? He
told Andrea they do it every week using toothless walkers but he made
this big announcement about them celebrating their anniversary. Hmmm...
Did those walkers look toothless to you? What about their
claws/fingernails?

If that's what it was then it shows that Merle and others did head out
to the farm, and no one mentioned it to Andrea. That's another sign
that something isn't quite right in this Village.

Yes, I could see Andrea still wanting to stay in the Village, but why
wouldn't Michone go over the things that she's seen that have put her
nerves on edge? It doesn't make sense.

>Daryl in a poncho was hot. I'm just saying.

I'm assuming that's supposed to help serve as bite protection.

I thought they had made it pretty obvious that was a walker that had
fed on Lori. Notice how he found something in Lori's remains (an
earring or something else?) and so he dug into the walker to find
more.

They did look toothless (though only because of CGI so their mouths
didn't look completely right) but there is a real danger in getting
cut by their hands. We know that can lead to infections and death. As
for the games I could see them having a game every week without having
the all day party.

I'll have to watch again ... but I don't think so ... they do leave some Lost type clues around ... but nothing so fleeting as that ...

Another great episode ... They advanced character and plot very nicely ...
Showing Rick's mental state especially with the telephone ringing tease at the end was expert story telling IMO ...

There is a lot not quite right in the village ...
Some people's attitudes have a Stepford Wives air about them ... along with a feeling reminiscent of a Star Trek TOS episode The Return of the Archons ...

Whatever they have in mind ... they've certainly created an environment for it ...

I thought that was the bullet that Carl shot into her head, he picked
out of the floor.

She told her but Andrea didn't believe her, until she saw
the zombie gladiator arena.

I thought the list had both male and female names?

I was thinking it was a list of people who the Governor
knew and who had become zombified, with his daughter's
name underlined as defining the point when he flipped-out?

Indeed, how the hell did it fit 130 lbs worth of Lori (including
her bones!) into its stomach?

Perhaps other zombies helped consumer her and they had
wandered off by the time Rick showed up?

> I wonder how truthful The Governor was being about the

I'm guessing the Governor will toss Rick into the arena
when their inevitable confrontation happens.

> Did those walkers look toothless to you?

We did see Merle pulling the teeth from the zombies they
had caught in the pit trap but I could swear that at least
one of the zombies in the arena still had its teeth?

I thought it was Lori's wedding ring, which would have
fit with Rick saving it and putting it in his pocket but
apparently the "Talking Dead" confirmed that it was
the bullet, which is stupid.

Discussing this with a friend today and he didn't even notice
the duffle bag but suggested that maybe the Governor had
sent out _another_ of his henchmen to investigate the Farm,
while denying Merle the opportunity (as we saw last week)?

Perhaps this was done to prevent Merle from hooking up with
his brother before the Governor has a chance to interview him
(and any others in the Atlanta group)?

And if this happens ... is it digesting? Will it slim down and become
active again? Otherwise we should see Clodreamer fat zombies next to
remains all over the place, and god help the ones that come upon horses

The director for the episode was a guest on The Talking Dead that
evening, and he said that they used CGI to create the toothless mouths
of the zombies in the gladiator match, and that some of the "mouths
didn't come out right." So you probably did see a tooth, or at least a
CGI anomaly.

It was the bullet but I would never have known that except that they
mentioned it on Talking Dead. I couldn't tell what it was other than
it was small and it meant something to Rick. That's why I figured it
was something of Lori's.

She's still alive! Carol is still alive. Carl didn't shoot his mother.
The bullet is the ricochet from the expended shot. Carol (who had been
practicing on how to help with the birth by training on the zombies)
found Lori, took her to the prison infirmary and stitched her up.

And now they're trapped and calling any number to get help....

Maybe.

In the comic if the walkers are unable to attack someone (because they don't have arms or teeth or are behind a barrier) they will eventually stop trying unless agitated. And walkers are generally not interested in attacking you unless they are hungry, so if you keep them well feed (as the Governor kept his daughter), they become lethargic. In the web-comic that establishes Michonne's backstory, she says something about how her walker pets stopped trying to attack her after a while. The scene with the Governor grooming his zombie daughter is in the comics as well, and he says something like, "You haven't tried to bite me in a long time." In the comic the Governor is much crazier and meaner than in the TV show, is abusive towards his walker daughter, slaps and calls her "little bitch" a lot, suggesting that he was abusive and possibly a molester before she became a zombie. My interpretation of the list of names is that it was a list of people he knew who have died since he became the group's leader, and losing his daughter is what sent him over the edge.

There's no one on the other end of that phone and it's not really

other end of the line.

On the other hand, maybe it's one of those phones that work on natural
electricity and so it's not disabled, like all the ones that work on

No, I think it will be a real phone call from inside the prison.
Everything else works Why not the internal phone system? Someone
actually live will be calling. Its a big prison.

The disappearance of Lori's body doesn't add up. I Mean yes we saw the
engorged Walker and thought he had Lori for dinner but where did the
bones go? Maybe I've forgotten but I don't recall Zombies eating bone
and really, while Lori was a slim woman she wasn't little. ALL of Lori
fit into that Walker, bones and all?

Alternatively the phone call could be from someone who found Carol.

Yeah but he isn't going to mutilate her like Michonne did to (Comic
book spoiler that I think has a good chance to be a show spoiler) ure
oblsevraq naq VVEP uvf orfg sevraq.

I do think this could be what the serum was for. Anyway he has taken
it a step further than Hershel who was just waiting for a cure.
Phillip is likely looking for one.

I don't think Michonne told her about the biters the Governor had but
The Governor beat her to the punch earlier by telling her about her
breaking in and slaughtering the Biters he had. She asked for an

Pulled the fingernails I would suppose. I don't think he was lying
about the toothless walkers. Would Merle or anybody else get in the
ring with they still had their teeth? I don't think so.

And Phillip said they were there nine of them held up in an apartment
with spam and saltine crackers There was no time date given but If I

That is why I think they would've "declawed" them as well as

They might as well as dig holes for everybody, then, just to be ready. Of course then there's the problem of keeping the zombies from falling in to the holes and stacking up.

No, on both counts.

Even discounting the bones, a human (even
zombified) could not fit 100 lbs of meat into
its stomach and human teeth would break
attempting to eat bones.

I figured Lori was zombified or several zombies
had helped Fatso Zombie eat her (wandering
away afterward) but apparently the producers
have said said she was completely eaten by
that one zombie.

I believe Carol is alive.

I believe in the possibility-because I find the "crime scene"
suspicious- that *someone* found Lori and got her to the infirmery and
called Rick (I don't think he was hallucinating). Other people could
be alive in other wings.

But I don't think those two things are neccessarily connected. Carol
got out of the prison building it self probably on the other side of
the property. I think the odds of her finding Lori and then having the
strength to get her to the infirmary is remote, assuming she even
knows where it is.

Even though the director of the episode told us on Talking Dead that she
was eaten by the zombie that Rick found?

Which was why that zombie was bloated.

I don't remember the director saying that, but I was distracted for part
of the show.

Then I'd guess the phone could be Carol telling him she's trapped in
another part of the prison.

They're obviously following the subplot of the comic, where Rick spends
months having secret imaginary conversations with Lori through the
handset of an old phone.

And what point would there be taking Lori to the infirmary? She bled out
and had a bullet through the noggin. Not much Carol can do about that.

It's getting its electricity from the central office. If the CO doesn't
have electricity, it can't power all the phones.

Not to mention that the phone system in a prison would probably be a
digital PBX, not ancient POTS phones. If you work in an office, don't
your phones plug into the electrical outlets?

As have several earlier posters. I suspect the producers just didn't
think of this detail. They were going for atmosphere, not realism, with
little hints like the bullet and Lori's hair in the zombie's teeth.

I don't think he mentioned them being walkers, implying she attacked his men.

If memory serves, Daryl and Andrea found a guy who hung himself and whose legs
were eaten by Walkers, leaving behind skeletal remains of his legs. I
conjectured that there were more than one Walker who found Lori's body and tore
it apart and wandered off, leaving their friend behind in a feeding torpir.

I think someone on The Talking Dead said they were sppsd to be toothless but

The prison has a large diesel generator, which Rick, Oscar
and Crossbro turned off after killing Skinny Prisoner, who
had turned it on to sound the escape alarm in an effort to
draw zombies into the prison complex.

But the generator was already off by the time Rick flipped
out and reentered the prison to look for Lori's body.

No electricity = no phone = Rick is hallucinating.

IIRC, the phone was an old school dial type, suggesting
that even the phone itself is an hallucination.

Agreed, in the comic the Governor is a pedo but it looks
like AMC dropped that aspect (for the better IMO, as the
comic Governor was too over-the-top).

No, human teeth and jaw muscles aren't strong enough
(even zombified) to crush bone.

> BTW that was a cool solar powered noise making walker trap.

I thought it was a vertical wind turbine generator at first.

I'd think several "tiger traps" like that a few miles outside
of Woodbury would help in securing the countryside, which
they'll need to get going on if they're to start farming.

I'm thinking the hash marks are zombies who have been
killed by the people of Woodbury _and_ living people of
Woodbury who have been killed by zombies.

There were several pages of hash marks and each page
had several hundred marks, so it couldn't be just living
humans who had been killed.

There was also a line from the Governors mistress/secretary
stating "we haven't had a break-in in over a month", implying
that there have been regular deaths up to that point, as the
town was in the process of being secured.

But having flipped out over his daughter's zombification,
the Governor no longer even bothers with names and just
lumps zombie and human deaths together.

I think we are meant to think if he actually went to Hershalls farm like Andrea told Merle about, but I don't know if he did or not. He might have sent someone else besides Merle to the farm, someone who he would trust not to run off looking for family.

His daughter could really be dead, and these are all the other girls he's been finding (and naming) as surrogates trying to reclaim some of his past.

It did seem rather ... gratitous that this particular walker ate Lori, or even found her. She was dead, quiet and not moving, I don't know why this walker would go for her. And it should have been a ring, not a bullet, would have made mroe sense. Unless the ring is somehow gone from in some other episode.

That's true, there is a lot of Lori to eat, if you eat her up. I wonder, they could crossover with Fringe and have the recently birthed placenta be a cure for the disease! The womb protects the baby from the mom's body, so it could have some handwavey properties that cures the zombies too. :D

Given his attitude in the confession to Hershal, I was thinking that he had them dig their own.

I don't know if they want it that close. If a herd is walking by, like those form the highway or the ones that came to the Farm, it would overwhelm the biggest practical pit they would have dug.

They turned generators off to silence the siren, clod. I guess the only
thing left working at that point would be those natural-electricity-driven
phones, huh?

Geez. Not to mention that, even if the electricity were on, making a
telephone ring involves a complex of switches and routers that couldn't
possibly be working.

Yes what made me suspicious of that was as I said before I don't
recall zombies eating bone and how can Lori a slim but still pretty
big girl fit in one Walker?

But I guess the writers were going for poetic irony. Lori just
bloated by pregnancy a few minutes or so before makes a zombie bloated
by it consuming her remains, making her look like it was pregnant with
her.

This could be a good reason why we don't see many skeletons around
though. :-)

He did tell Andrea they were Walkers, except the local slang for them
is "Biters":

"The Walking Dead" "Say the Word" (S3XE5):

[The Governor opens the door to his office on a caller he was
expecting]

Andrea: What's wrong? Miles said it was urgent

The Governor [closes the door] Need your help.... It's Michonne.

Andrea: What about her?

TG: She broke in, stole her weapon....

Andrea: She can't steal something that's hers:

TG: ....then she went into a private place and slaughtered half a
dozen captive Biters.

Andrea [stunned for a moment]: Why would you have "captive Biters"?

TG [walking away to lean/sit on his desk] There's a good reason I
don't want to go into it right now

Andrea [a bit dubious]: OOOkaaay...

TG: Point is I tried to talk to her about it and she pulled a sword on
me. Held it to my throat. Can't imagine that surprises you.

Andrea: She wouldnt do that unless she felt threatened.

*******
Then in the very next scene Andrea said to Michonne:

"The Governor told me what happened."

Michonne didn't deny it, just stressed strongly that they had to get
out of there.

So Andrea knew and believed that Michonne did what The Governor
accused Michonne of. I think Andrea wasn't that shocked that some
people would have Walkers in captivity after the Hershel example. She
wasn't going to let that idiosyncrasy prevent her from joining some
semblance of civilization.

Mind you I haven't read all of the comics but it has been alluded that
The Governor was a child molester in the comics along with him being a
more obvious villain to the other characters.

Yes I remember that too. The guy who hung himself. His lower skeletons
were apparently being held together by the remaining tendons. I doubt
that would happen in real life but I think the writers were going for
dramatic license then.

Actually Michonne never mentioned it but the Governor in the scene
immediately before the scene of Michonne packing told Andrea about the
captive Biters Michone rekilled. That is why Andrea said to Michonne
"The Governor told me what you did". Michonne didn't deny it. Instead
Andrea wanted to show that what Michonne was doing was wrong and that
they should stay and Michonne was giving Andrea nothing to back up her
suspicions. Michonne desperately wanted to go, Andrea desperately
wanted to stay.

Not howling like that. I am surprised there aren't hundreds of Walkers

Can't be done. because it would take thousands and thousands of pits.

A more practical method would be to reclaim and then fence off
hundreds of arcers of land but this will take years

Sure it can.

> because it would take thousands and thousands of pits.

No, just a handful of strategically placed pits along select
back roads, not a moat completely surrounding Woodbury.

The goal would be to minimize the area in need of constant
patrolling, allowing the mobile zombie defense teams to
concentrate on the areas where farming needs to take place.

> A more practical method would be to reclaim and then fence
> off hundreds of arcers of land but this will take years

The trick would be to start small and gradually fence in more
and more area, spiraling out from the initial farm and inclosing
more area as needed.

There are literally miles of chain-link fencing available that
could be nailed up to telephone poles and trees to create
secure farming enclosures.

Which will also protect the crops from the huge herds of
ravenous deer until they die-back to sustainable levels.

If you increase your dose of Zyprexa a little it will probably soften some of
the voices in your head long enough for you to pay attention.

In the comic, the Governor removed all the teeth from his daughter's mouth so
that he could get himself some incestual pedophiliac zombie blowjobs.
