Not like. Sexually creepy. Unless you're a necrofiliac. In which case, hey, to each his own. Just seems to me you'd only bag frigid girls.

EDIT: No but seriously, it seems to me that kiss was meant to be confusing to everyone involved, including the audience. I think that's a real smart way series writers operate: Just throw in a few things that might lead somewhere, or might not. Just to give yourself options for storylines, you know? To prevent writing themselves into a corner in three episodes. If the feedback is too negative, or people just aren't that interested, they'll just never come back to it. Like the way a "medium" uses cold reading. Thow stuff out there, see what sticks.

Methinks Beth is trying to set herself up as the leading female of the group. Maggie is strong but she's Glenn's woman. Rick is the leader, available, needs help with the next of kin, and its no secret he and Lori were falling out. She's a young girl and they gravitate towards men of power

I'm not gonna speculate on relationships until this confrontation with the Governor is over and we see who is left alive.

I bet the "morally ambiguous" white guys in Tyrese's group will die.

I'd be willing to bet they all do. Just gotta bring another black guy on, and Tyreese is as good as dead. The others are red shirts.

LOL absolutely. Another black guy on board will be a death knell to Tyrese

I think Beth may be developing a crush on Rick. And this is where it may run the risk of turning into a zombie soap opera.

No problem, but the show has been renewed for a fourth season!

Well, I'd amend that to say any survivors, but yeah, bingo.

As for Beth, there was definitely something going on with her. That'll be an interesting plot line if they pursue it, what with Rick's hallucinations.

Speaking of which, I've read elsewhere that Andrew Lincoln is overacting the part of Rick these days, but I think he's portrayal is pretty good given what his character has been through.

The best thing about being a necropheliac is that you don't even have to bring her flowers. They're already there.

Then maybe they could use a little more soap and less opera?

Yep that's the one! Got it as a valentines gift today so I finally have a chance to finish it! I had to return the game when I rented it and left episode 3 unfinished

Yea that's understood, I'm just saying the zombies made it exciting when they'd be surrounded by them, or when they would pop out out of nowhere. Now that they have basically been defeated by strategy and whatnot, they're more like pawns now. Other than that like I said before I'm still a big fan of the series!

Yeah, but zombies as a scare become less effective the more they are used. Typically this means that we can expect another cameo from Nicotero(he was in Suicide King). He does at least one cameo each season just for fun and always goes all out.

I'd expect a really cool zombie kill very soon.

This is exactly what Kirkman has said that the zombies are supposed to be. A workable threat.

Nicotero. Name rings a bell. Who was he again? Someone on productionstaff or something? And what is this cameothing you mention?
