I got that feeling too. I know that reality TV show fans will talk of a person having a 'Loser edit' where we get a bit more insight into the person's life and motivation for being on the show etc, so that it can have more of an emotional impact when that person is eliminated. A loser edit makes it easier to pick who's likely to go this week.

With Carol we got that and also got a strong reminder of her violent marriage. So again we will feel moreifshe is the next main character to go.

YES! that was what it reminded me of, Hell's Kitchen loves them some Loser Edits. its really obnoxious and just comes across as filler. doing that on scripted tv doesnt really work well either.

I thought it was a good episode, better than last week's. They do seem to be giving Carol the impending death edit, but I'm finding it hard to buy.

guess this was from the extras
how the van really fell
we were wonder wtf they were thinking even before the fall, the van "wreck" was just totally retarded

IMO people would have probably bought that fall a lot more than it just dropping straight down on its wheels

It wouldn't have flipped over but been a nose straight impact but they removed the engine and fluids for safety/cleanup purposes.
A nose hit like it should have been would have been deadly.

found the making of video for the scene

how'd the van fuck up the railing without a goddamn scratch on the front end anyway

The same way they were on a desolate bridge with nothing in sight only to have like 20 snails walk up to them out of nowhere.

this show must have really gotten better if we are down to nitpicking the projection of a falling van.

I think what's funny is when they show them inside the van as it falls, it is actually pointing down (facing the ground) but then it rights itself back onto it's wheels. The average person watching this show doesn't care but still...

anyone else getting great ads like this?

Z nation had one of the better episodes this week of it's series. Honestly I enjoyed it more than last weeks TWD.
Oh and bye bye Carol or Beth.
The Walking Dead Midseason Finale Made Daryl Cry For An Hour. AN HOUR.

Hmm, entirely plausible.

With so many contracts being done you would think it would be a slaughter fest anyways. Counting Noah and the baby the group is now up to like 16 I think.
Not sure how that plays into the cost and contracts though. I remember Sarah Wayne Callies being listed on the opening credits forever. I know rest of season 3 and I think even in 4.

Those of us who read into the comics or know that outline know that half these people are dead or didn't exist anyways.
I just hope they do it right. You got the Gov who was heartless and brutal and had a tank for fuck's sake and managed to kill what 1 main person per season?
These idiots in the hospital are not bad ass enough to slaughter that group so they best do it right or else I'm going to umm post about it yah!

Daryl likes Beth, he LOOOOVES Carol. dude was all bent out of shape over her possibly being dead when they reached the prison. dude dug her grave and had himself a good cry before it was confirmed if she really died or not.

Carol and/or Beth dying is pretty high up on the probability meter. Reasons?

Beth: They actually develop her character with an entire episode devoted to her, which moves her from "omg stfu with the singing" to "hey, this girl is alright!" territory. Neglected characters getting tons of screentime out of the blue is always a warning sign that they might get bumped off. However, I still put her slightly lower on the death-o-meter, primarily because I can easily see them trying to do some Daryl/Beth/new kid from the hospital love triangle bullshit. If they do the whole Alexandria Free Zone plot, then the hospital kid will be key to that because he already stated in the show that he is from there (not by name, but by description), which means he won't be going anywhere soon.

Carol: Her character has actually evolved a ton since the show started...she went from abused housewife to a badass female Rambo. However, this season has been pretty Carol focused and we've been having lots of "fill in backstory" moments with her, which is usually code in a show for "lol, lets make them care about the character just before we KILL them". Considering the looming contracts for actors and the fact she is one of the few original actors from S1, she is very likely to die as a "omg! Noooo!!!" mid-season finale cliffhanger.

Let's not forget though that Beth actually did slit her wrists in the comics and died, she was like a 1 liner there.
Then again in the comics Carol offed herself while at the Prison.

I'm guessing both.

Top 25 network shows last week.
LOL at Talking Dead being 4th.
If you include over the air broadcast even TWD ranks 5th. Thats cray.

Tossing a hail mary and going to guess baby goes down as someone rolls the church when they are all gone in the city. Lots of boo hoos by all when they come back.
