    I think it would pretty funny if they keep him alive for a really, really long time without ever developing his character for just that reason.

    I agree that having a mostly undamaged undead Sophia was far more impactful. However, I'm an ex-cop and want to know how it happened now. As a TV viewer I can accept the hand waving I'm going to get, but I wouldn't complain a bit if they explained it better.

    So glad I don't play that anymore.
    Actually...playable Pandaren is the kind of thing that could draw me back to that game.
  4. For me it's the combination of Energy Blast and Energy Manipulation on a Blaster. All my life when I've created heroes in my head or imagined what it would be like if I had powers it was almost always some kind of energy blast. Unfortunately, I just can't come up with any one concept and I'm one of those people that needs a concept in order to play the character. I need to know who they are and why they are doing what they are doing in order to keep playing them. Sometimes I'll roll an Energy/Energy Blaster and come up with a cool concept only to log out at the end of that play session and never log that character in again. By the time I think about it, I've got another concept in my head and my overwhelming desire is to roll the new character.

    All that said, my main (and forum namesake) is an Ice/Ice Blaster that has been around since about a month after the game went live (couldn't afford the game at launch and had to wait a month) but can't seem to get past 31. My second "main" is a Lvl. 50 Bots/Traps/Mace Mastermind. Bots/Traps may be my second favorite combo of all time. I've rerolled that character on Exalted and currently have her at about 16.

    I agree with pretty much everything Frost Warden said (and no it's not just the ice brigade sticking together). Tyreese certainly didn't teach his daughter that it was an acceptable thing to do, but it happened anyway. Herschel needs to lose some family if he's ever going to get to the same point in the show as he did in the comic. And there needs to be a catalyst for what Dr. Jenner told Rick. I'm predicting that it will either be Beth and Jimmy or Shane that provides that catalyst, probably in the season finale. Possibly both.

    So, no girlfriend for Carl. (At least not one we've met yet.)
    Maybe Beth and Jimmy will be replacements for Tyreese's daughter and her boyfriend and he will show up with a younger daughter to replace Sophia. Which opens up some other possibilities for changes to things that happen at the prison.

    I must have missed that. Thanks for the correction. It still raises the question of why the zombie that attacked her didn't finish the job. It's not like they kill for sport and move on and it's unlikely that she would have killed it and gotten away. But, that's just me needing questions answered I guess.
  8. I remember when they did the April Fools Day joke about that. I also remember the very vocal outcry when people realized it wasn't actually happening. There use to be a user created UI addition in another game that added the same effect. It was my favorite add-on. As long as they make it an optional thing only view-able by the player and turned off by default then I really believe they should add this.

    I'm just going to say it. Everyone is infected and Zombie Sophia is the proof. Granted they didn't show every inch of her body, but where were the bites? If she was attacked by a zombie, why didn't it eat more of her before she turned? We've seen what they do. They rip you apart. She wasn't ripped apart. She was fully intact from what I saw. Just...dead. So, she must not have been attacked. Which means she died from something else. Disease? Exposure? Starvation? Then she came back. Everyone is already infected. And that's what Dr. Jenner told Rick at the CDC.

    MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    It would have been a good advertising campaign four years ago. Now it's just kind of...meh.
  11. It's sad that she's no longer with us, but it seems to me she lived a very long and fruitful life. Her Pern novels have been taken over by her son and he seems to treat the material with due reverence. Her stories will live on and that is her life's gift to us.

    The last I heard, season 2 was only supposed to be 7 episodes. And the show had already gotten signed up for a third season.
    I think they extended to 12 episodes this season. Which may be part of why the Sophia storyline is dragging out so long.
  13. A friend of mine just said that the quidditch and lightsabers description was kind of like saying a computer is a combination of pumpkin pie and a monkey.

    Obviously not. They are obviously attempting to pander to the Harry Potter and SW crowds with that description despite how grossly inaccurate it is. I can only assume they never read the book. Or, they're hoping *we* haven't.

    They don't say what Dr. Jenner said to Rick in the CDC in the comics because there was no CDC or Dr. Jenner in the comics. However, based on other things that happened in the comics it's likely that what someone said earlier in the thread is what was said. Everyone is already infected.
  16. I wonder if this means Batman: The Brave and The Bold will be showing up on Netflix. Y'know...soonish.

    I've always referred to it as NasCars.

    I hope not. That plot line has run its course. It's time to resolve it and move on before they start annoying the audience.

    There may end up being some resolution there. There was in the comics.

    The other option is they give up hunting, and her absence haunts them for a long time as a barb to poke their conscience regularly.
    There's that, too. The preexisting relationship between the two characters just isn't there. And that relationship is a huge part of what made the whole thing so horrible.

    I think at this point they know we want an answer about Sophia and I feel like not creating any closure for the audience is a bad move. Even if they don't let the characters know what happened to her, I think they need to let the viewers find out.

    They've already shown child zombies, what with that girl from the first episode, so it wouldn't be too far fetched.
    I could kind of see it, but it loses it's impact without the truly depraved aspects.

    I think I was thinking the same thing and if I'm right about us thinking the same thing then I doubt AMC will do it, which is why I didn't say anything. The idea is just too sick for TV.

    Cannot see this directly translating into an American 22-episode per season format with the same characters.

    I would like to see an American version postulating that the same empowering event happened in America, and following a group of American young adults with the same punkish overall feel, dark themes and lighthearted superhero deconstruction. For bonus points, the two shows could refer to each other in news reports and the like.
    I think this could be cool. An American spinoff from the same event. An American Nathan would just be a jerk, rather than a charming jerk.
