Somebody explain to me the part where Darryl and Merle are in the forest arguing and Merle sees Darryl's back tattoo and realizes their dad was doing...something?

Redundant posted:This, but about almost the entire show This thread more than any other helps me understand why TV shows feel the need to over explain everything. Only here could someone have thought that scene was about his tattoo. Or maybe you watch the show on an iPhone and couldn't see the kunta-like scars? Even then your mind should go to abuse scars and poor makeup before it tries to analyze the tattoo.

Yes, you're so sophisticated to notice the less obvious scars instead of the weird as hell tattoos in a scene that going back and checking shows it for less than 4 seconds.  Neither I or the person I was watching it in HD with knew what Merle was talking about and pausing and rewinding it would've meant re-syncing it up.

Two good ole boys talking about growing up with their lovely dad and one abandoning the other cause it got so bad. Bet it was because he made them get lovely tattoos he designed.

I think it's sad since them we barely even had a look on those tattoo's. Bare-chested Darryl is probably something they feel the world is not yet prepared for. (The real reason is off course the same reason we haven't seen the guy from Prison Break without long sleeves after the first season, since the tattoo as a plot device had become obsolete. I read somewhere it took over 3 hours to apply the decalcs)

People are probably a bit twitchy because we constantly get things like: "Why was Lori a (shirtless short-haired male) zombie? I thought Carl shot her!" "Wait, was that Andrea who drove the truck full of zombies into the prison?" "I bet it's the Governor sneaking in through the fence of the prison to feed rats to zombies and then sneaking back out again!" I feel like the scars could be a legitimate point of confusion since it's a fairly quick shot and the tattoos are distracting, but by now the thread's tolerance is pretty low.

Can someone remind me how the last season ended, all I remember was being disappointed with the governor but did Rick's group leave the prison, did the governor take over the prison?

See, scars are something you expect a badass to have after fighting zombies and riding a motorcycle. The more obvious tattoo is kind of... What? His dad indoctrinated him into a cult or something? Cigarette burns would have been a more obvious abuse scar.

Edit: if you're watching closely the back tat also wanders from the right shoulder to the left in back to back scenes. Dad gives magic tattoos.

It's not like people just jumped to a weird conclusion. It was a confusingly shot scene, and as viewers we already put weight on tattoo reveals. Plus it had already been established that Pa Dixon was abusive. Merle's reaction was surprise: he either had no idea that his abusive father was capable of abuse, or a hidden tattoo hinted at not-yet-revealed character depth. The tattoo was plot flotsam drowning viewers clung to.

rypakal posted:Not to the sighted community. You don't have to be a dick about it dude. The context of the scene made it pretty clear that they were talking about the scars, but it's not exactly difficult to see how someone would be distracted by the tattoos considering the way they revealed/focused on his shoulder tattoo first. There's plenty of people who watch this show and manage to miss super obvious things, but the show doesn't do itself any favors with its sloppy editing/directing/cinematography. See also: the confusion over what happened to Tyrese's group right after they ran out the door after they initially ask Rick for help and he freaks out on them while talking to Lori's ghost, and Carl's not-quite-a-showdown with the kid who was not-quite-putting his shotgun down not-at-all-suspiciously.

Also didn't one of the characters say something like "a few weeks", directly to another one of the characters? I might be imagining that, though. I haven't touched a single season 2 episode in a while.

So this is coming back Sunday, and apparently the episode will focus on Rick/Carl. Per http://www.tvguide.com/News/Mega-Buzz-Walking-Dead-Orphan-Black-Spoilers-1076906.aspxquote:Don't expect to see too many familiar faces since Rick and Carl take center stage when the AMC drama returns. While Rick heals from his beating from The Governor — whom you will see again — Carl will lose something very important to him. Can't wait for The Governor to become Ghost Lori II. You know, since everyone loves that part of the show so much. On the other hand, the episodes where they just focus on a few people are usually the better ones in a season, so fingers crossed.

Unless that image is from an unused scene in the last episode or I'm an idiot and don't remember seeing it.

computer parts posted:Was he ever shot in the head, or just stabbed? He could just be a walker. Spoiler tags for things that happened last half season? Stay classy TV IV. They left it ambiguous I believe, he was stabbed by Michonne, and I think she left him there to suffer and turn, but then the girl whose daughter got eaten ran up on him with gun drawn and pointed at him. I dont think they showed his head bursting like they do with the zombies or anything. I could be misremembering, I had presumed it to be a pretty obvious way for the show to close out the governor arc so i wasn't paying that close of attention. But it appears my presumptions were mistaken.

It was spoiler tagged because it's a response to what Mice Everywhere and I were talking about, which is a character appearing in the upcoming episode that's based on what we've seen in trailers and not something that everyone might want to know about. But well done with the snarky zinger I guess.

I had no idea it was coming back this weekend. Great! As mentioned above I fully agree. The episodes with a limited cast have pretty much all been of superior quality. Seeing zombie Guv'nah would never have the same impact as Zombie Merle.

The alternate theory is that it was another form of rat torture by whoever is torturing rats.
