SPOILER ALERT
I think she keeps them around, armless and jawless, so she is seen (smelled?) by other zombies as "one-of-us-gooble-gobble" and not "delicious food."
They kept this in the show because the show likes to play fast and loose with it's own internal logic, zombies can't smell you if you're covered in guts or around other zombies, unless they can and then RUNNNNNNNNN.
Especially since they had all those dead, non-zombie bodies on the highway way back at the start of this stupid season of this crap show.
"The unbitten become zombies . . . except when we need dead body set pieces . . . why wouldn't all those corpses be zombies . . . uh . .. oh hey look Carl wandered into another scene, haha that's our Carl" - Walking Dead Showrunner
"Even though when he was literally dying in front of us, nobody bothered to tell him so and the last words he heard we're 'Sorry Brother' . . . god we're the fucking worst aren't we?"
I've been wondering about the zombie rules of this show (ha) too. In the beginning of this season, they were on the highway full of abandoned cars and there were non-zombie dead bodies sitting in them, so by that logic the zombie virus isn't some airborne, everyone-that-dies-becomes-a-zombie thing (I guess). Maybe the non-bitten can just turn into zombies by some other means, like lasers or wishing really hard.

I know it just ended and won't be back for months, but consider this an early vote for Videogum to spend some quality ghost time with American Horror Story. It may be the only worthy contender to True Blood for the title of "Most Fun to Hate-Watch."'
Campinggum!
This isn't just your friends. There is something about being in nature that seems to turn some otherwise normal-seeming people into mushheads who suddenly perceive any minor attempt at civilization as a totally crushing their individual freedoms.
It also makes them think their alcohol tolerance suddenly tripled and they should definitely drink that entire fifth of Maker's Mark before 10pm. "But it feels so much later maaaan"
The zombie apocalypse will be better without them.
I lost cable recently and have mostly been bummed about it, but when my bf asked me what channel Walking Dead was on last night so we could watch the premiere and I could answer "We don't have cable anymore," it was the first time I've actually been pretty happy about the whole situation.
But then we watched Limitless on Netflix, so lose/lose probably.
Agreed!
I don't care how talented you are, if you insist on making "that face" the entire time you're performing (if you saw them, you know exactly which one I'm talking about) I can't like you, at all.
Also, she should give Bob's Big Boy his hair back, I am sure his head is cold.
For real! I loved that after they said that the chefs only had two hours to cook food for 200 people, Grayson straight up was like "Well fuck you then." Grayson 4ever.
Tom Colicchio seemed in way better spirits this week!
I've been watching the episodes late/catching up, but Colicchio has seemed very exhausted/angry to be judging this season. I'm not exactly surprised, the talent level this season feels a little lower (at least until last week), and probably especially so after an All-Stars season, but he still looks like they have him in the Top Chef kitchen at gun point.
One time a team decorated their restaurant with vanilla scented candles (good move) and they got reamed for it at the judges table. Someone may have gone home for it? Or came close? That's literally the only time I can think of the decorations ever making a difference though.
And this will be the case until they inevitable all run out of bullets as soon as there are actual zombies around...
I can see it now: a giant horde of zombies is closing in on the gang and then Glen saves them with a motorcycle or something but not before T-Dwag or Sophia's mom bites it. It will be followed by a 6-8 episode arc where they search for more ammo and Grimes has a lot of boring talks about how they need to think differently about ammunition these days.
Religious and upset about his family as the character is, the character is also a vet with medical training. I would think that a trained medical professional with a biology background would know what happens when things die. Based on what this show has shown us about how one becomes a zombie (zombie bite = fatal = death = more zombies), he had to know his love ones died before they were put in that barn. I would think anyone - old timey religious vets included - would be rather squicked out but the thought of their loved one's zombified corpse regaining real life.
However, if next week they reveal that Hershel has been preparing to star in a home-version of Re-Animator, I take everything back.
I used to not mind Hershel so much, but his "zombies are sick people" ended that.
Zombies in this universe are undead flesh-eaters, they are not living, rapid victims of a rage virus. They rot and their skin falls off, the snap in half and still attack, their necks break and they move around like they stubbed a toe. If those are your zombie rules, fine, but don't make a character really, honestly believe that you can cure death and bring someone back from that. I know that if I died in a zombie apocalypse I'd really want to come back alive missing pieces of my jaw with my flash rotting off the bone - good times!
I don't think it is asking too much from a scifi/horror/genre show to at least abide by its own rules.
I KNOW. Nobody will watch it and discuss it with me. Sometimes my boyfriend is even in the room with me while I watch it and after it is over I will try to discuss how absolutely insane what we were just watching was and he will hold up a book dismissively.
I just need to talk about Tate's deal with someone. Starting with his name being Tate.
I like that Toby Kieth is filling the role of "Somebody's weird uncle or dad who thought it would be ok to come to this college party" because it seems entirely appropriate.
Also, have you ever accidentally stumbled across the Country Music Video channel while channel flipping? Because from my estimation this is the most inventive country video I've ever seen in that it isn't all just shots of people off-roading and partying at Cabo Wabo like every other country music video ever made.
I was in Portland recently and they have a place called Ground Kontrol which is packed with old arcade games and sometimes on Thursdays you pay $5 and then all the games are free all night. So my friends and I finally beat BOTH the Simpsons AND X-Men games. It took unlimited lives but we did it.
I think when we saw the final screen I was just as excited at 25 as I would have been at 10.
Yup, ours was rather gothy and when he wasn't skating he was smoking in the parking lot. He also got really into having multiple wallet chains attached to his pants which jangled when he skated. Eventually the rink manager gave him a job running the music.
After the roller rink closed he became the "slightly older goth always in line for Dance Dance Revolution" at the nearby arcade.
Seriously... they edited that out?! WHY. I don't even get it.
I am going to go to my parents house, dig around in the basement for my Sandlot VHS and make a digital transfer. Benny's PF Flyers will be preserved!
Yup!
I worked on a video for a ceremony honoring George Lucas and in the video there were a bunch of people talking about how groundbreaking Star Wars was at the time with all the puppetry and special effects. Specifically, people were referencing the two moons and the explosion of the Death Star. When I went to get video of these to illustrate the point I could only get access to were the new "updated" versions with all the digital touch-ups and extra rings around the explosions. We tried using VHS footage but the tapes were worn down and the video looked awful. It got really frustrating. The people in the video were pioneers in the special effects world and the work they were championing and describing in vivid detail as being integral to their careers barely exists anymore. A similar video had been made in honor of Ray Harryhausen and you can bet all that original footage exists, in high quality format!
Busey's love of meatball subs and Calvin and Hobbes is enough to vault this film into the "classics" category. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYi0a8ZpNBk) It is a perfect scene, much like the one where Johnny buys roses for Lisa in The Room.
"(Crazed laugh) This Calvin and Hobbes is funny!"
"Utah! Get me two!"
Ugh I saw a pair of dudes wearing these at a nicer restaurant last week. They were business casual otherwise and they kept sticking their feet way out from under the table as if to tell the whole restaurant "We found the more expensive, weirder-looking replacement for our Crocs and you just have to deal with it."
