Yes! Since getting past the first couple of episodes (I didn't leave my house for a whole weekend ), I am officially freaked out once again.

I did that...I wasn't really planning on discussing details, just expressing my freak out (literally pacing here) since I'm alone over here.
But since I did....
Have you read the comic?
They're going to have to add more cast to replace the old ones...I wonder if they're going to take in the prisoners. I hope it doesn't end up like in the comic...

Yeah...I know the feeling. I'm going to try to go to bed now since I have to wake up at 5...it's not looking too good since I'm all geeked up.
I knew Lori was going to die...I was just hoping that the show would extend it out like it did Shane's (he originally died in the comic right after Rick found the group). T-Dog was a shock, but he went out like a champ.
What the hell are they going to feed the baby? ETA: You should read the comic...I read it all after watching the first season (all from the library like a good YMer). It's WAY intense....I'm surprised AMC is actually going along with some of the themes.

Oh good I am so glad I am not the only person who doesn't like Andrea! I've been wanting to reach thru the TV and smack her.
DH had a point though, who wouldn't want to believe there is a slice of paradise amidst all the horror?
I hope we find out more about Michonne.
I cried when T-dog died and I cried when Laurie died. I had a feeling she was going to die though when Carol said Carl had to be born via C-section. There is just no freaking way during a zombie apocalypse you're going to survive a complicated birth.
DH thinks the baby is going to be immune and will lead to a cure. I think he's been playing too much Resident Evil 6.
I feel bad for Rick. DH doesn't, he said Rick treated Laurie like such crap this entire time. I said yeah and that is why I feel bad for him, he's going to have to live with that. They seemed to be giving a small hint at the beginning of the episode that they might reconcile and *poof* now she is dead.

Glad that we are done dealing with Annoying Laurie but still surprised that the baby lived and now they have to deal with that burden. Not that babies are a burden but a motherless one, in the middle of a zombie apocalypse kind of is. T-Bone- ok this probably sounds bad to say but as soon as they kind of started to allow the two prisoners in the group (the scrawny white guy and the black guy) I knew T-Bone days were numbered. He was a fringe character that never had a good storyline and half the time I forgot what his character's name was anyway. Carol- where has she gone off to? Carl- What the hell! Having to shoot his mother in the head to keep her from coming back a zombie? Standing there all alone as he dad has a total breakdown and people look at Maggie and the baby. No one thinks to console Carl who just saw him mom tragically die and then had to kill her again. Normally I am not a fan of his but wow- crazy.

The baby should be fun. A crying baby is like a zombie dinner bell.

I was literally screaming at the TV when T-Dog was bit. I sooo wanted to learn his story. I'm not all that sorry about Lori - I had a feeling she'd die this season but just didn't expect it to be so soon.
As for what to feed the baby - well, the preview for this week showed Darrell and Maggie going "on a run". I'm sure they'll find some formula somewhere. Plus remember Herschel is an old country farm boy. He is bound to know how to "make" formula from other ingredients like evaporated milk they way they did in the 50's and 60's. Formula wasn't always in the form we have now.
I'm on the fence about Andrea. I do want to smack her right now though because she is just to trusting of the Governor. So Merle says he's a good guy and you're gonna run with that? I don't think so dumbass - remember how much of a not so good guy Merle was when he was with the group? BUT I am very curious to see how things will go down when Darrell and Merle are "reunited" because little brother isn't going to be pushed around by Merle like he was before they were separated.

The Governor has some screws loose that is for sure.
I was yelling at the TV when Andrea disclosed where the farm was at. But she doesn't know that the Governor went and murdered all those soliders after their location was disclosed.

That Governor is up to no good I tell you. What the heck is the deal with his aquarium wall o' heads? Freak. You have no idea...I'm guessing that since AMC is ok with some of the themes from the comic, what we've seen with the Govenor is just the tip of the iceburg. The tagline for this season is "Fight the dead, fear the living." As far as Andrea goes, I'm trying to remember if they had any run-ins with freakishly weird people on the show. So far, we've just seen Shane lose it and it wasn't even half as bad as what were going to get into (and the majority of the group thought he was still ok up until the end). So maybe she's just thinking that the Gov is like Rick and just a good leader. Plus she's been sick and on the run for sooo long that maybe she just wants to see the hope in finding a sanctuary to rest for a while (or permenantly). But yeah at times, I wished she would just trust Michonne more than what she has been. I really hope they do get into Michonnes back story more too.

That's what DH thinks. He said who wouldn't want to find a slice of normality after all they have been thru?

OK when Maggie took the baby out of the room we saw Carl and it looked like he was either hugging his mom or listening for a heart beat.
What if he heard her heart still beating and couldn't bring himself to shoot her and shot the floor instead?
Then Carl and Maggie took the baby outside - what if Carol (who has disappeared) stumbled on Lori bleeding to death and, because she was attempting to study how to do a C-section (remember she practised on a walker) she is able to stop the bleeding and save Lori?
And, since everyone on this show heals in about 3 days (seriously, if you get your leg chopped off you can hop around good as new in what, a week? Or are we to assume that the storyline at the prison is passing much faster than the storyline with Andrea? And remember how Carl was sure to die and then, suddenly, he was up and walking around again?) can we expect Lori to be back in fine whine within the week?
Not sure how I would feel about that type of plot twist. Too much like the dream season on Dallas, for those of you old farts who remember that show.

I suppose it is possible but I would check out of the show at that point. Part of what I like about this show is that it is "realistic" enough that you can buy into the characters and the storyline.
There is just no way in that instance a woman could survive childbirth. If they magically "saved" her I'd be royally pissed.

Lori is definitely dead. What did you think about Rick's response at the end? Great acting or over-the-top? Also wondering how screwed up Carl is after having to shoot his mother lest she become a zombie...

I thought Ricks response was a little over the top at the end for me. Carl is awesome. I'm guessing Rick is not going to be able to handle a baby at this point and Glenn and Maggie will be the primary caregivers.

I thought it was a great episode . I cried when Lori died also. I think she did have some medicine to help her abort last season but she decided not to take it. I just hate that everyone has to get killed off in this show. I would have beed dead along, long time ago.

Yeah, she took like 10 morning after pills, but then ran off and threw them up.

Thing is the morning after pill does not do anything if the embryo has already implanted, you have to take it within 72 hours of having sex. Don't know if that was something the writers missed or choose to omit.

I'd assume probably still nothing, just as if I took 10 birth control pills at once. It'd probably make my blood pressure go bonkers and possibly cause a stroke, but it wouldn't do anything if I was pregnant. They're designed not to interfere if you are already pregnant. I didn't watch that episode so I don't know if they specifically said morning after pills. For the sake of controversy though it was probably better to let people assume it was rather than it being the actual abortion pill. I'm just being nit picky on a message board.

The box is specifically labeled "morning after pill" in the show. The writers did a little release saying they know it's not real because she's like a month along at the time, but that they took some creative license.

I figured that was probably the case. Makes sense.
It brings up a good question though. Lorie had to have known that it would be a death sentence for her to carry that baby to term, even if Hershel had been able to do the delivery it isn't like she's in a fully equipped and staffed OR.
Would you keep the baby?

Freaking loving this season. I liked all the seasons but this one is over the top. I thought Rick was a little overdramatic dropping & rolling around, but he has been under a lot of stress so I'll give him a pass.
I too want to know about Michonne & who her pet zombies were. The Governer is interesting too.

DH and I are leaning towards Michonne's pet zombies were relatives of hers.
I could see Dh reacting like Rick. He has no clue where I am or where our kid is and there are zombies running around trying ot eat everyone.
Then out comes our kid, and our baby. .. but no me.
I'd lose what little sanity I had left.

Is it a death sentence? Her kid got shot, T-Dog got a massive cut and infection, Hershel got bitten by a walker and then had his leg amputated with a hatchet in a filthy prison. They managed to do all that without a fully equipped or staffed OR, and without much in the way of medicine. Is a C-section that much more complicated than amputation? Particularly if Hershel would have been the one doing it. We know he can do surgery already and they've got medicine.

Yes but does DH hate you? Because Rick basically hated Lori.

Didn't they mention though she had complications during Carl's birth? Routine C-section is one thing, complications would be another.
DH and I argued about whether or not Rick hated Lori. Personally I don't think he hated her. However I can also see his reaction stemming from the fact that their marriage fell apart and he doesn't have a chance to make up for it.
Carl basically got forgiven by Lori right before she died. Rick will never have resolution.
Andthe guilt over your wife dying alone giving birth to your child has to be overwhelming. Even if he did hate her I really doubt he would wish for her to die like that.
