I'm actually glad they're diverging from the comic.  I actually had to stop reading the comic because it was just too damn dark.  I was getting depressed.  And I'm hoping that the Governor thing is not *as* dark.  Dark, but don't make it a snuff film like the comic.

And driving back 300 miles to shoot Shane... that would've been the STUPIDEST thing the tv show could've done.  Works in a comic book... DOES NOT TRANSLATE TO THE SCREEN.

I thought the walking dead *DID* show Herschal being broken.  Did you see the look on the actor's face when the barn assault was going on?  He was destroyed and it was written all over his face.  Didn't even need to say it the next episode.  Good acting will do that.

Thank you for finally bringing up the fact that in every zombie movie, regular people can all of a sudden get head shots. As someone who has shot hand guns I can say that it is really difficult to get a headshot on a stationary target, let alone a moving one that is trying to eat you alive.

I got my first two questions ever sent in answered on LEOG.  Feelin' special.  ^.^  So, to clarify, Leon got it:  I didn't feel like she fit into the universe that had been set up in this show, not that the idea of a character with a katana who has pet walkers is unbelievable, she just didn't seem to fit.  What all of you are saying, however, makes sense.  I'm sure she'll fit in quite well... The introduction just seemed a little much.

Hour 1 Min 29:53 - I had typed that joke out a split second before you said that Leon...

* - * - FOLLOWING COMMENTS WRITTEN WHILE IN WALKER SPOILER TERRITORY - * - *

Hour 1 Min 32: - It's a surprising and jarring introduction to the character, but when you look at the whole thing (sword that is light, fast, and doesn't need to be re-loaded like a gun) and two "neutered" zombies to mask her smell from the other walkers, it makes a kind of sense.  This is a new world and new solutions to problems would have to be employed.

(Later on Cyrus and Joe make the point that many characters would have dealt with things in a different way than Rick and the Gang. which I agree with wholeheartedly)

Hour 1 Min 36: - I really freaking miss Tyrese from the comic.  REALLY liked that character.  

Re: Laurie- Jeez... There are scenes I really like with her character, and then there are other scenes where I am looking at the screen, very puzzled as to what I just saw her character do.  She's the most inconsistantly handled character on the show, in my opinion.
 
Hour 1 Min 53:26 - I was thinking the SAME THING.  Which LEOGer (and LEOG guest) has the sounder Zombie plan?

Hour 2 Min 6:19 - Despite my criticisms on Kirkman's writing style, Walking Dead is the title where I have no complaints.  

Hour 2 Min 8:01 - (after hearing the phrase 2, 3 times, Now Fleetwood Mac is stuck in my head)
 
Hour 2 Min 9:40 - HAH.  That's hilarious.  The Dead-fast Club.

Hour 2 Min 19 - Favorite quote of the show "I don't know why that popped in my head, I guess I just want some Flan."
 
WHOA that just sort of ended!  I downloaded the MP3, and it just cut off!  Was there a LONG LIVE THE LEAGUE at the end of this episode?

Ah well.  regardless, great episode everyone!

Min 54:27 - Yoko 3000.  Brilliant.  GEt to work, Fan-artists!  

But yeah, seriously, a moment of silence for Karaoke Apocalypse..... (hits pause...)

Hour 1 Min 1:11 - For most of the show's life, the BBC was silent on whether or not Timelords could change sex between regenerations, and there was a lot of debate among fans if it was possible.  Thankfully the debate seems over, with just a few lines In Gaiman's Season 6 episode "The Doctor's Wife" but there hasn't been an in-canon Female Doctor, but there has been a few in Satellite Who projects.  There has been a female Doctor in the BBC Children in Need comedy special "Doctor Who and the Curse of the Fatal Death" where Joanna Lumley played the 14th incarnation of the Doctor... And there was a Big Finish Audio adventure, from their "Doctor Who Unbound" line (a series of "What if" departures from the Canon Dr. Who timeline) wherein Arabella Weir plays a new 3rd Doctor, where she's hiding from the Timelords during the Doctor's Exile from Gallifrey, appropriately named "Exile"

And in regards to a Black Doctor, there's no reason AT ALL why there can't be one.  In the Classic series , during the Forth Doctor's story "Destiny of the Daleks" his Timelord Companion Romana regenerated... (the scene itself was pretty campy and tongue in cheek, wherein she didn't "Die" exactly, but was instead "trying on new bodies" like outfits, incliuding a blue skinned alien woman).  So if we take this into consideration, It's been suggested that, if it's not triggered by death or serious injury, and done voluntarily, the Timelord can control what their new regeneration looks like.

Also, before Matt Smith was officially cast as the 11th Doctor, there was a LOT of chatter and talk about Patterson Joseph being cast as the Doctor.  That would have been fucking awesome.

Hour 1 Min 1:43 - Chameleon Circut, duh...   ;)

Hour 1 Min 10:46 - REALLY wished that Princess Di storyline actually happened the way it was originally conceived. 

Hour 1 Min 18 - I like this little roleplay.  LEOG dramatics!

Hour 1 Min 19 - Now I want to see an old-timey Mass Effect.  "This week!  on the Mass Effect Radio Hour... Brought to you by Jello!  We join our heroes this week, with Commander Shephard and his Untouchables riding as fast as they can to the Rondevous point..."

Hour 1 Min 20 - Rubio you mispronounced "Fn'guh Bung"

BREAK!

Hey, I haven't been on here for months, so believe me, I'm not one to judge about lateness lol

They're back, Jose.  :) 

(They're a little late this episode...but they're back)

Ah, how I've missed Nate's time stamped comments...I'm actually serious, here. I really missed them!

Min 3:15 - When you lose at Jeopardy, the 2nd place winner gets $2,000, and the 3rd place winner gets $1,000.

Min 11:50 - Dada was an artistic movement, that essentially said that nothing has any meaning.  It tried to push the limits of what people thought of as art, stripped away of any aesthetics.  To a Dadaist, it just "is" and it doesn't mean anything.  There is no rationale.  It differs somewhat from Surrealism... it used symbolism and iconography, you could interpret the works and extrapoloate some sort of meaning or emotion that made sense to you (ohh, melting clocks and ants... it totally means, blah blah...).  Dadaists like Duchamp would simply put a urinal in a gallery and say nothing else about it. The idea being audiences at the time would be hard pressed to find any significant meaning behind it.  (whether or not it's valid, worthwhile, or even accomplished what it set out to do, that's the question.  But I'm sure the Dadaist wouldn't care about the question.) :)

Re: The Untouchables: I have a soft spot in my heart for that movie... it was my first r-Rated Gangster movie.  though I totally admit it hasn't aged well, but a lot of what I originally liked about it from the time I saw it as a kid, it's still there.  Every couple of years I can dust it off, enjoy the awesome Ennio Morricone soundtrack, Connery, and the overall feel.  There are much better mafia vs. Fed movies out there but I award a few nostalgia points for this one.

Min 31:31 - Spitzer was New York.  He actually visted Syracuse (my home town, actually came to our building) one week before his big scandal broke in the media.

Min 35:50 - That is State-Fair performance art.  he'll have a booth right between the Lemonade stand that's shaped like a big lemon, and the booth that sells the pirated liscened music TShirts.  That's it.  State Fairs for you, Sandman!

Min 39:00 - 42:55 - Okay, go here, all you frustrated creative people who are trying to make something of yourself... listen to this chunk right here.  A very good way of looking at your work and how to approach things.

Min 45:11 - Yeah.  Uh.  "Little" isn't the word I'd use (OH!  OH no i didn't!  well.. yes.  yes I did.  Hey Brian, I love ya buddy!  but we could both stand to get back to our fighting weights...)
