You could say that again. I have not read the comics. Yet I'm tempted to just to see what his deal is!
The show is deliberately being different than the comics. They will follow the basic premise but they do change a good bit. For instance the Governor in the comics was an unemployed hipster that looked like a guy in a biker gang. He was also was about 12 steps crazier in the comic.

Hipster and biker gang.. lol. Strange picture going on in my mind. Looking forward to the next episode, and hope they dive into the Governor a bit more.

RIP T-Dog
The moment he got a scene of actual dialogue I knew he was doomed.

No one else more important died last night...

Well no one that we liked anyway.:D

Last night' show was one hell of a ride. I am normally not very vocal or emotional person during a show, but I screamed out "No!!!!!" when T-Dog got bit.

I think Carl will be a serial killer before he hits puberty.

What is up with those heads?! Inquiring minds wanna know :p

I started crying when Lori was saying good bye to Carl. Imagine putting yourself in the situation. I feel like a putz now but boy was I crying then.

Carl is becoming a scary lil tike, maybe he’ll team up with the Governor.:D

I hated that part.

You know, I used to look forward to the impending zombie apocalypse until I started watching this show.

I like the prison storyline and setting better than the town, though I'm definitely intrigued by the fish tanks full o' heads.

One of the small pleasures of the show is the satisfying crunch/squish of a sharp object stabbing a zombie in the head. The sound guys do a great job on this show, all-around.

Same here. The one thing I never thought about was that the survivors were the biggest danger. The zombie threat is predictable and could be mitigated, but people, not so much.

There is no question that the effects from foley to the prosthetics are great and really make the show seem real especially in the last episode.

Sundays episode was intense to say the least! Surpised they kill her off so early in the season! My friend told me that in the comics ( I have not read) that Laurie is still around for a lot longer, and eventually has her baby delivered by the governor and that both her and her baby die !!!

The show seems to be going farther and farther away from the comics. It has always been somewhat different, but it has gotten to the point where you can almost not use the comics as a source of spoilers.

Which I think is more than ok if they do that, look at dexter! Only the first season followed the first book and after that it went on its own direction!

Wonder if Lori is really dead, didn't actually show Carl shooting her. Wouldn't surprise me a bit to see her again, in dire need of medical attention.

And whatever happened to the father and son Rick left back in the first couple of episodes? Imagine they will re-appear sometime as well.

According to a few interviews I have seen with the actress that plays Lori, she is dead.

Things are not looking good for Merle. You have the new and improved Rick combined with grief and guilt from losing his wife. I think it would be awesome if Merle were to show up and make some smart a comment right off the bat and Rick pulls out his service revolver and offs him without hesitation.

It is going to be an interesting encounter. That is for sure.

I think Rick is going to go CRAZY now! I'm wondering if Maggie & Glenn will end up caring for the baby...

I've read several of the graphic novels, and the Governor is a total freak. I'm wondering if they are going to end up showing any other other things he does. I'm betting on one of them, since he has made some comments about it (I hate spoilers, so I won't say anything else).
