Anybody else notice how every time two characters get to a really dark/grim point in something they're discussing, the cicada noise rises? Like the cicadas represent the specter of evil/insanity/death.

This show is really great. :D

They spent thousands of dollars just to give us the best zombie face planting scenes even shown in a TV series.

It's also good to see a democratic council replace a machete based system of government.

I've read that too. What's the reason for slashing the budget when it rates so well, though?

The budget negotiations with Weiner (Mad Men's EP) went south and he ended up asking for more than AMC was expecting. That plus AMC splitting off from Cablevision they ended up cutting the budgets for Walking Dead and Breaking Bad to accommodate.

So is season 4 of Walking Dead still on a poo poo budget or have they been given an increase?

Don't expect to see panoramic set pieces of walkers and humanity dueling it out on a dying planet with special guest stars Henry Rollins and Rutger Hauer as "Old Man Perkins: The man with the Springfield 1903." But don't fret they won't reduce the show to long term settings that wear out its welcome with the viewer either as season 2 taught them that lesson.

I hope my favorite Game of Thrones character "Magical Assassin Who Grants Wishes" comes over to join Rick and the gang this season!

I think the worst the cicada noises have been was the first episode where Rick left the hospital and saw all the corpses and the helicopter and stuff.

Considering they earn 300 grand per commcercial spot probably the latter, unless they're using those commercials to prop up other, more terrible shows.

They do it a lot. Most recently that I remember, they did it when Rick was talking with Hershel about giving Michonne to the Governor.

I can't help thinking of poo poo like this sometimes , but I really want Rick and crew to find some goddamn little southern island to inhabit. It's not that hard to find, there are a fuckton of tiny islands along the coastal southern towns - just head east toward Savannah, it isn't that far from Atlanta. They can live on some island and row out to land every time they need to do a supply run. Less zombie hordes, and a lifetime supply of food from fishing.

I love to watch tv with my mom because she's the best. She watched the last episode and I asked her what she thought. She turned to me and asked "are the zombies good guys or bad guys?" Deep, mom.

The one in the well didn't sink. Anyway corpses in general tend to float, and if the zombies possess the motor skills required to stay upright and walk, it stands to reason they can dogpaddle.

Yeah, I know they would bloat and float eventually, I just had no idea they would even survive. I guess taking a rowboat through an ocean of bloated still 'alive' zombies is a bad idea then.

I was thinking that because they're all already "infected," the virus/bacteria now has mutated that it can actually be capable of killing people itself?
