As I recall it:
Spoiler!
The first thing Rick does after being appointed constable is to get in a fight with a guy that was physically abusing his wife and son. I’m guessing smoking on the porch creeper is that guy.

I hadn't read the comix since they first arrived at the prison because I didn't want to ruin watching the show.
Really didn't matter. There's so much different that even when the big events are the same it's hard to predict how things will go down. I'm on issue 70 now (group first arrives at Alexandria) and will probably finish 75 before hitting the sack.
For anyone interested in reading the comix I'd highly recommend it. You're no more likely to know exactly what's going to happen than if you read a Marvel Avengers comic and think you'll be able to predict the Avengers: AOU movie... [Reply]

Thanks Rausch. That's why I read all spoilers. Gives me something to look forward to, but not exactly. Fun show, like Saul. [Reply]
Talking about the last few issues of the comics here so don't read if you're not thru 137. (February's issue)
Spoiler!
Ok, so I've just got caught up. First things first...
WHAT THE FUCK is with the weird (yet hot) chick licking Carl's eye socket? I liked to dry heave there. I have to say, I'm so glad they went the way they did with 'The Whisperers.' I was really afraid they were starting to go more as Sci-Fi by having talking zombies. I'm fairly certain one of two things are going to happen.
1. Shit is going to hit the fan and Rick is going to buy the farm within the next 3-5 issues. Or....
2. We find out Michonne's fucking lost her shit and she leads them.
One last thing, I thought Daryl was going to make his first appearance in the comics. I guess that was just rumor. (Or did I miss it?)

Spoiler!
I don't know if this needs a spoiler tag, but Daryl hasn't been in the comics. I think the rumor came from a teaser image of Dwight holding a crossbow in silhouette. People jumped to the obvious conclusion.
I wonder if Dwight was going to be the comic version of Daryl, but was changed for some reason. Like in writing the story the character evolved away from Daryl, to the point that it didn't make sense for him to be Daryl anymore. Also there might be rights issues. Since Daryl was created for the show he'd probably be owned by AMC, so Kirkman might actually have to pay AMC to use him in the comics.

I don't look at it as them being "bad guys."
It's more "this is the best thing we've seen and we can't let these idiots fuck it up. No matter what."
A huge thing people don't think about is just how good the writing is on the show. They have set up things SEASONS in advance for a payoff later. One or two seasons ago they kept talking about how "you can come back" or "you get to come back" after good people do terrible things.
This season you heard Rick give the speech. The "we are the walking dead" speech. There's a reason. He's comparing them to the walking dead for a reason.
Yeah, you get to come back, but you're forever changed. You aren't what you were. Sometimes, what comes back is horrible... [Reply]

And the Michone thing is right on. Her and Rick are eventually gonna bump heads and maybe Carl kills her in the finale?
Where is the love between Glenn and Maggie? Seems like a couple would like to get in the mood after a shower and having a nice place to do so. Maybe they just didn't show.
What the hell is Carol pulling? She is a smarty but I think the poker playing politician has her nailed already. When someone tells you what they are without being asked(I'm a people person), they are trying to present a face and a poker player picks up on that.
That blonde is way too friendly. Maybe she has a "job" in the community and it's more than just free haircuts.
What were the scout team guys doing? Just trying to tie them back up? It almost looked like that guy was trying to get bit. And who the hell holds a grudge on a walker?
Anyway, I was pleased with this episode and look forward to next week.
Oh, and I have not read one word of the graphic novel. Maybe I should. How old are the comics? Is this something that was written years ago or are they recent?
