ASM 268. Spidey took home a solid gold notebook. In my memories, it was fun. I have hesitated buying the omnibus for fear of becoming cynical and jaded so I will remember it as being fun. Although I never did read all of the crossovers. Thankfully, Liam is not nearly as jaded and cynical so here's to hoping he loves it as well.

I always liked the remix Old people.

TALK LOUDER THOUGH. FINGH IS REALLY OLD. It's really fun though. At least that is the way I remember it.

Loved SWII. Will never in a million years read it again, but loved it.

Were the Dr Frank and Muscleshark accounts ever banned or is he just a two-time HOS shill? I think he started as Muscleshark, threatened everyone in the Continental US, changed his name to DrFrankenstein, threatened the rest of the known world and then was banned? I think. I could be wrong about the banned part but not the threat parts.

(thumbs u I wrote, and then edited out, and am now writing again, you're creeping me out with the low brow gremlin only posts. It is a terrifying amount of restraint. Samuel Clemens would be impressed. You're doing fine work here Green.

Count me as well on the no vote.

Mock, mock, mocketty mock mock. Zimbabwe here I come.

I think I shall buy something from you when I go on vacation to some exotic locale just to see the Heat Miser's temperature rise.

Having to mention in your sales thread that you're located outside of the US seems like a no-brainer to me - especially if you state that shipping costs will be "exact postage" :shrug: (thumbs u I think that everyone should list where their location is when selling. There are members here from all over the globe. I don't think we necessarily need a rule but just some more common sense. I don't think anyone is going to have a cow if someone asks what their location is in a selling thread. I am all for rules but don't want to have the rules become so unwieldy that it makes it unattractive to sell here.

The DT series was my favorite until I read A Game of Thrones. You have some very solid reading lined up. (thumbs u I've sat on the King sidelines since high school. I've been targeting these for a long time. I'm feelin it now.** **OOCT. It doesn't count when you're pimping yourself out for the OOCT.

Come to think of it, I have been displeased with my cellular carrier lately. He is intimating that he may add his cellular carrier to the Probation List. Juxtaposing another even less related purveyor of services with tinkie1100 who does not appear to be a Boardie, and is thus ineligible for the PL, is a time-honored comedic technique. Is 'splainin the joke a time honored comedic technique too? More of a public service. Caira is a little obtuse sometimes. Esoteric. In the rough and tumble world of comedy when faced with a Darwinian moment where we can slow down the bus and go for the fart joke, I prefer to put the pedal to the floor and dare the forum to keep up.

Agreed. I am wondering why they are not at least repeating the current year's episodes. Going through so WD withdrawal, and I just read TPB #15, and was a little underwhelmed. I don't have that trade yet... I would imagine they will throw some repeats on after the first of the year.

Agreed! I can just see the group spending the next 6 episodes packing. This isn't Desparate House Wives either! It's a Zombie movie and people die. I can also do without Dale's precognitive abilities and the whole Shane issue. Shane needs to go, the show is having to create filler in order to extend his character which at the same time is creating a ripple effect with the story. I don't think they kill Shane for a while. I think he whacks someone else though. I do agree that the female characters have been weak. I do think Andrea started becoming more like the character she is in the books. Carol is just there and Lori is annoying. Probably more realistic considering what she is dealing with but I don't like her. Maggie has been very cool though. I dig her.

+1 Mid season breaks suck So what is the point of a mid-season break anyways? logic February...

February...

+10 He's great for the show. The first season, he was a roaring douchee. He became somewhat likable in the second season and now he is thisclose to bate insane. I think he is awesome.

Wow x2. I dig the moon.

Wow. That is amazing. Great work.

I hope he sticks around. I've gone from not liking him, to liking him and now a bit concerned that he is gonna go off the deep end.

I'm betting he is revived in the next episode, but by the time they find that girl they have to hit her over the head - and it's all dramatic and emotional. I can't believe they're stretching the missing Sophia girl for at least 3 episodes now. Now both kids are in dire circumstances. Guess it's not too hot to be a pre-teen on the WTD show (or a baby, per the scene of the bloody car seat...ack)! I think using Sophia's search allows the time to develop the other characters in the show. The book is completely character driven using zombies basically as a prop. Keeping them all in one general area let's the focus remain on the characters. Who here that has read the trades has NOT begun to like Shane? That's pretty cool for someone that was a throwaway character in the books. Darryl is also much more interesting this season and I couldn't wait for him to take a dirt nap last season. Andrea is a wench. I actually don't like Lori very much. I think they are going to flush out the characters a bit more over the next few episodes and then start whacking them. Then use the last few episodes to begin introducing new characters for next season. One thing about the Grantland article, there is no goal. There is no destination. There is nothing to head towards. We don't know where they are going and neither do they. They are just trying to survive. That is why I think it will continue to be a great book and television series. Oh yeah...

"Like the man in the stall said to the guy waiting, give me time." - Al Bundy Remember, TV Rick knows about the pregnancy (I'm pretty sure that's what was whispered to him). Which means TV Rick either knows Lori had an affair, or will when the birth timeline gets revealed (like in the comics). I think it will blow up soon on the TV show too. I've never really thought that Lori had an "affair." She definitely thought Rick was dead on the show and, I think, thought the same thing in the comic. Her husband's died, she's now a single mom and the world's gone to Spoon. She's an emotional wreck and here is Shane, Rick's friend who she knows and trusts. It happened. My recollection is that she thought of it as a one-off while Shane was the one who secretly pined for her and now had the real chance. I also gotta say that I like TV Shane better than comic Shane. More rounded and we're more involved with him. It will make it that much more touching when Carl knocks him off. I agree with everything you said. You're right, I shouldn't have used the word affair. I also don't think CDC guy whispered that to Rick. They hardly knew each other and I can't remember if Shane and Lori talked about that at CDC while on tape so don't know if CDC guy even knew. I think the whisper was more like "there is no cure" or "you will regret leaving here" or something more philosophical. Not "Watch for out for Shane, he banged your wife." Here I disagree. Remember, the price of admission into the compound was that everyone take a BLOOD TEST. You can definitely tell a woman is pregnant from bloodwork. So it makes perfect sense for the doctor to find out she was pregnant, and whisper to Rick, "I analyzed everyone blood and your wife is pregnant." (thumbs u I think he told her that Lori was pregnant also. I also think the TV series is taking more time to develop the other characters where as the book just developed the other characters along the way on Rick's journey. They are flushing them out now. I think it is fantastic that we get to enjoy essentially the same story yet so different at the same time.

Just received some raw Spidey books from Ed. Great books everytime. Can't recommend him enough. Thanks again.
