I keep a 9mm and a .22 LR ready to go in the room adjacent from the bedroom, used to keep the 9mm loaned and safetied, hooked to the bed railing but it kept falling off when the bed would shake and after a couple times of that I realized I didn't want to have my gun accidently discharge in me while I was doing the same so I moved it.

TMI?

Does anyone know what happened to the Dr. in Woodbury? She didn't seem to be around much after the episode where they rescued the helo pilot. I can't remember if she even was the one who patched up the governor's eye. If she's still alive (she wouldn't have gone on the prison attack) she would be pretty helpful in the prison.

Edit:
Just read online she did treat the governor's eye.

Blech, what a terrible finale. How they can build an arc, super slowly, like they did for the entire season seemingly just waiting for the finale, then not complete that arc is maddening. It really did not feel much like a finale at all.

I am glad Andrea is dead, she really needed to go but that entire final sequence with her was laughably dumb.

I really enjoyed the first half of this season, but the final half was pretty damn disappointing, though I did like Michael Rooker's final episode. I know I'll still watch in October, but I won't be as excited as I would have been had the season ended several episodes earlier.

I've never understood how in some places the zombies seem to move very quickly, but in others they are slow as molasses. Seems inconsistent, sort of like the overall show.

It could be the state of decay the zombie is in? who knows. As inconsistent as the show is I still like it more than well over 90% of the other crap on television.

My have to watch shows are currently

Walking Dead
Game of Thrones
Dexter
The Newsroom

I know there are other shows that are outstanding but I'll probably get to them after they've ended their runs or only have a season or two left then I'll watch what's available on DVD over the course of a couple of weeks

I just want to remind you of the Walking Dead rule: If you don't see the corpse, they are not dead.

True enough, though I don't recall seeing Lori's corpse and she's a ghost now she's so dead.

Maybe the longer they have been dead, the slower they are?

Maybe, hard to say I guess. Dallas Roberts seemed to be moving quite slowly and he was a freshy, but he also may have just still been converting. Who knows.

Presumably, they are still using muscles. As the muscles decay, they become weaker and slower. Ex: The bottomless corpse (I won't call it a walker as that might be insensitive) that was dragging itself through the park in the beginning of season 1. It was highly decayed and extremely slow.

well, zombie Andrea and one other person in that room, we hear gunshot, other person leaves room.

That will take some seriously terrible story crafting to bring her back

If you or a character doesn't see a corpse, they will come back. Karl saw the corpse of his mom and Rick saw the zombie that feasted on her (and had some of her hair coming from his mouth I think). A lot of people saw Andrea's corpse and by now know what really kills a zombie.
