in the comics, it was Lori b/c she hadn't been killed yet.

In the AMC show, I have no freaking clue.

I'm pretty sure.
Either Ralph or Sonny.

Those damn calls just never stop.

Well, it is 6:46 central right now.

Time will tell.

with a gaping wound like that, and likely a bullet hole in her. I think Rick's just crazy, or else its a Gallop or Rassmusen poll.

Or Carol, saying "WTF....you found my do-rag and gave up on me? We spent half a season looking for Sophia and I don't rate the benefit of doubt that I might be alive?"

A reprise of the call when Rick was trapped in the tank.

Black helicopter folks from season 1.

Is this the official WD thread?

Unless someone else starts one.

Still don't really know who is on the phone.

It might be a group hiding from the governor.

Rick just blew it.

She's wounded and she guts the zombie. Don't see how that doesn't come back to haunt you.

Guts.

Michonne is tough.

I didn't think the Governor would just let her go.

Give up your freedom and stay safe.

Killing the Army guys proved that.

He wants to be the Governor of everything.

episode 2 is called "Guts" because the two of them smear zombie guts on themselves to retrieve Rick's bag o guns.

Wonder why nobody thought just to use the blood, instead of dress themselves in body parts.

Carol is alive.

It looks like Rick was just hearing voices on the phone.

Just needed to deal with Lori's death.

but thats ok; the first few episodes raised the bar pretty high. Only 2 episodes left now until February.

with the Rick group.

is killing me

I also like to know what I'm getting into with this show before I choose to watch it right before bed

The phone calls were not real.

It was Lori on the phone.

Glenn and Maggie get captured by by Daryl brother, Michonne watches this happen.

She stays hidden behind a car.

I didn't see the very end but I think she takes the food to the prison.

The Governor and Andrea get together in bed.

Michonne gets shot in the leg by Daryl's brother but escapes.

Starts with her, and ends with her.

She's being chased by Merle and three men from Woodbury. They decipher her bitergram message, "GO" is written with arms and legs. and "Back" is a rebus. It's the back of a biter.

When they don't listen, Michonne falls out of a tree and off's two of the men and runs off, but gets grazed by a bullet.

Back at Woodbury, Andrea is flirting with the Governor.

Back at the Prison, Rick is hearing voices on the phone and decides to clean out the block while he waits for the phone to ring. Glenn and Maggie decide to go out on a run for bullets and formula.

Michonne has another encounter with Merle and the boy. This time she guts a zombie and the zombie guts gets spread all over her. She escapes.

Merle decides to make a break from the Governor, but the surviving boy goes against him. So he gets shot by Merle.

Back at Woodbury, Andrea is doing the dirty with the Governor.

Michonne happens up on a town and sees Glenn and Maggie. Before she can decide what she should do (should she show herself), Merle shows up and overpowers Maggie. Forces Glenn to take them all back to Woodbury.

Back at the prison, Rick realizes the voices on the phone are imaginery. Lori tells him to buck up. He goes back to the group and it looks like he'll be okay.

Meanwhile, Daryl and one of the other prisoners goes back into the prison Block for I don't remember what reason. They come across a zombie. He kills it, but notices that it has Carol's knife in his neck. He tracks back and something or someone is trying to push its way out of a closet. He thinks it's Carol as a zombie. So he's dealing with some serious shit, getting ready to off her.

Meanwhile, back at Woodbury, Merle tells the Governor he has Maggie and Glenn and says he's going to get them to tell him where the others are holing up.

Then back at the prison, Rick comes out of the prison and meets up with everyone and he's new again. But he sees something in the distance and he walks out to the gate and there is Michonne shoulder to shoulder with zombies. She's carrying the baby formula that Glenn and Maggie dropped in the town. Michonne has a look of earnest. The zombies are ignoring her because she has zombie guts all over her and she is camouflaged.

Probably the worst part of that summary was that Andrea is doing the dirty with the Governor.

Appreciate it, Baitball Blogger.

Andrea will not be happy if she finds out about Glen and Maggie.

In the previews for next week, Glen is tied up in a shed.

Darly's brother wants to know about his little brother, where is he.

Doesn't look good for Glen, Maggie was not in the previews.

She slices open an attacking walker. It's guts and all sorts of other yucky innard stuff spills out all over her. How can she not get infected and turn into a zombie? A bite or a scratch would do it, right?

then I guess we shouldn't be so skeptical about this.

here goes:

The voice on the phone was a woman who said they had a safe area and would discuss Rick & his group with the others and call back in two hours.

Andrea asked to help out in town and wanted to be on the wall. She ended up sitting there with a woman who had some Olympic style archery bow. A walker came ambling towards them and she hit it once in the arm and then missed it completely. Andrea got impatient, jumped off the wall and stabbed the walker and killed it. She got in a bit of trouble for it, but then admitted to the Governor that she liked the gladiator games they had the other day.

Merle and 3 red-shirts went out hunting for Michonne. She jumped them and killed 2 of them and kicked Merle in the balls before escaping. She got shot in the leg, though, and Merle and the last red-shirt went after her.

A man called Rick back and asked how he lost his wife - Rick said he didn't tell them he had a wife, but the guy said he told the woman he had a son and a newborn. Rick wouldn't say and the guy hung up on him.

Glenn & Maggie went into town to retrieve some formula and see if there were guns around. Daryl, Carl and the big prisoner went to clear out a lower level.

Merle and the red-shirt got to Michonne, but a group of walkers separated them and Michonne escaped while the red-shirt saved Merle. Merle wanted to go back & just tell the governor that Michonne was dead because she was headed to the "red zone", but red-shirt insisted on going after her... and Merle shot the guy in the head, and headed to town to get a car to get back to Woodbury. Michonne's sword opened up some walker's guts and the guts spilled all over her.

Andrea & the governor started drinking together.

The voice on the phone then mentioned Rick, and that's when Rick realized it was Lori on the phone and he broke down in tears. Daryl got jumped by a walker, but the big prisoner saved him and Daryl noticed Carol's knife in the walker's neck. He then later found Carol alone in a small room that was blocked by a dead walker - she was nearly dead from dehydration or starvation or something along those lines, but she was alive.

Michonne then got caught by several walkers, but they walked right past her because she was covered in walker guts. By this time, Andrea & The Governor were in bed together.

Glenn & Maggie found some formula and then Michonne ambled into town and saw the two of them off in the distance. Merle then stumbled onto them and he managed to get the drop on Glenn & Maggie and forced them to drive off to Woodbury. Merle then interrupted the governor & Andrea together to report that Michonne died and the other three did as well, but that he found two of Andrea's friends...

The end was Rick stumbling back up to the main room and holding his baby. He brought her outside into the fresh air with Hershel, Hershel's daughter and Carl, when Rick noticed something in the distance... he walked up to the fence and noticed Michonne in the midst of a bunch of walkers, carrying a cart full of formula.

the end

Appreciate it!

Sounds like some real conflict is about to start b/w Rick and the Governor.

How many episodes in are we? Anyone know how long this season is?

however, like last year, they are taking a 2 month break midway through after Episode 8 airs on 12/2

Season 1 was 6 episodes
Season 2 was 13
Season 3 is 16

but the phone calls also come later - and it is Lori in the comics making the calls. If I recall, the initial call was when he & Carl were in a house in a subdivision and Rick was running a fever, so it could have been the fever speaking at the time...

Is that the prison? Why would it be the undesirable?

So the area is call the red zone.

Do you remember how Maggie and Glenn were asleep in the tower?

Did anybody connect that it was because they were asleep in the guard house that they didn't see the zombies coming?

Good point about the zombies.

and the 3 of them had to run back all the way around the fence when they heard the shots?

If the guy was collecting zombies, he would have done it a little at a time, and they may have missed opportunities?

there were already zombies walking around outside the prison and in other cell blocks. The alarm going off was like a dinner bell to them - all it took was Andrew (I think that was his name) opening up the door to one or two of the other cell blocks.

Remember how he was dragging the deer, presumably to get them closer to the prison? He even held a deer heart in his hands.

Damn their hormones!

a zombie apocalypse won't stop her.
