I know there was another comic that concentrated on the Governor's back story. I read only TWD comics. In those comics he had a child, but I thought it was his daughter that was zombified. I guess it kind of makes sense if he kept her because he was a pedophile. Super duper fucked up, but makes sense.Comment

Bit confused about the whole "We all carry it"...so it will activate when someones dead correct ?
1. Has this been consistent through the show or something they threw in ?
2. So why do bites and scratches matter ?...the amount of blood splattered into eyes,mouths,and noses has to be in the pints by now.
Is it me..or is there alot of cuddling and kissing when you consider everyone probably smells like the homeless and are covered in dried zombie goo half the time.
btw damn that chick is adorable.Best reason to have a license.

I think it was the finale of season 1 where the scientist guy whispered something to Rick that we didn't know about. In season 2 it was revealed the guy told him every person is infected with whatever it is and once you die, you zombiefy.

So by the preview for the next episode I can guess how it will mostly play out.
I'm thinking Michonne and Andrea see the chopper go down as does the governer. He sends Merle and other to check it out, while Michonne and Andrea check it out. Michonne gets there after the Governers men and they try to remain silent and hide. Merle is a great hunter (taught Daryl everything he knows.), so he sneaks up on them knocks them out and brings them back the the Governer. When they wake up they are in a town and greeted by the Governer.

I watched the clip on Talking Dead of next week's show. Michonne and Andrea are captured when they go to the helicopter. It looks like they are blinded on a bus headed for Woodbury and Andrea looks from under her blindfold to see Merle standing over her and shushing her with a finger to his lips. I guess Rick isn't going to Woodbury this time. I wonder how they'll change that.Comment

Ads duing AMC's The Walking Dead' most expensive of any drama on TV
Zombie drama nets 9 to 11 million viewers every week

If you listen closely to the zombies lurching across the screen in AMC's "The Walking Dead," you will find they make a very distinctive sound.
Ka-ching.
Not only has "The Walking Dead" picked up a larger audience than most prime-time broadcast network shows this season, averaging 9 to 11 million viewers per episode, the price AMC charges to advertise a product between zombie executions now exceeds that of almost every drama anywhere on TV.
Ad Age quotes two buyers as saying the average package price for 30-second spots on "The Walking Dead" runs $200,000-$250,000, with late "scatter" buys commanding up to $375,000.
That's more than any regular show on television except "Sunday Night Football," which gets $545,000.
It's more than "American Idol," which has dropped into the $340,000 range after a down year in the ratings.
Even at $200,000-$250,000 per spot, the "Walking Dead" rate tops every drama on broadcast TV with a small handful of exceptions like ABC's "Grey's Anatomy."
This windfall is a major breakthrough for AMC and for cable ad rates in general, illustrating how advertisers make ever-fewer distinctions between broadcast shows, which traditionally have been considered mass-appeal, and cable shows, which traditionally have been considered niche.
The main attraction of "The Walking Dead" to advertisers, not by coincidence, rests on the same factor that makes football so attractive.
Its core audience is men between 18 and 49, who are devilish hard to reach with traditional sitcoms, dramas and reality shows.
The success of "The Walking Dead," Ad Age notes, also proves that graphic content, in the context of a compelling story, does not just appeal to a small core audience.
The death of familiar characters, the never-ending execution of zombies and regular scenes like an anesthesia-free leg amputation may repel the Hallmark Channel audience, but that still leaves plenty of viewers who can't get enough.
Ad Age does note that certain products don't tend to be advertised on "The Walking Dead."
Snack food, for instance, is largely absent. About the only food for which "The Walking Dead" might stimulate an appetite is blood pudding.
Instead, the show draws ads for cars, telecommunications devices and other products in which younger men would be interested.
