The Walking Dead

Do you think a 40 year-old could play Michonne?  The comics make the character look half that age.
Or does that matter since Kirkman is playing all "George Lucas" with the show?

I'm pretty sure Michonne's mid twenties to thirty .
Based on the fact she was a lawyer .
( if I remember correctly .. )

One of the better episodes this season.

One of my disappointments last night:

[spoiler]In Merle's rant about the rest of the group, it was soooo refreshing to hear the racist spout off about n*ggers and d*mocrats.  Thanks, Walking Dead, for reminding me that only Republicans are racist hate-mongers.   

Though, I suppose I could take it as saying that idiot p*ssy liberals will not do well in any survivalist situation, and well, Hank Jr. said it best:  Country boys will survive.[/spoiler]

One of my disappointments last night:

Yeah, Pearl eye-rolled on that as well. 
[spoiler]While watching Doc Martin, I realized the only reason a rifle would be in the show would be to showcase the Brit fear of private firearms.  With now three people being harmed by friendly fire this season alone (Carl, Otis and last night's), I'm beginning to wonder if there's not a similar theme going on here -- subtle lessons, but still there. In fact, the dangers of firearms have been a big plot point throughout this season.   Of course, it's ambiguous enough where it probably could be argued as lessons for firearm safety and not that guns are inherently bad.

Oh, and the wife beater with the MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat) was a small eyeroller. It's like they're delving back into stereotypes once again.  Next up: Hershel has the hots for his daughter Maggie?  Or Carl?

[spoiler]I wouldn't read too much into the friendly fire aspect . It's pretty common . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_fire [/spoiler]

With 3 of 5 episodes having friendly fire (one intentional), I'm thinking I'd take my chances with the zombies.
