beth and daryl were the only characters to appear in the beth centric episode which is the lowest number of cast members to ever be in an episode up to that point. usually other people are shown in an episode

but i actually really liked that episode
it was actually why beth became one of my top 5 favorite characters. in a world where you have to be hard to survive beth showed its possible to still be relatively soft and make it as well. she brings a nice bit of innocence to the cast in a world where that is sorely lacking
I actually really liked that episode.

Holy shit, an unborn baby dying in the womb, turning into a zombie and ripping apart a chick from the inside is a fucking amazing/fucked up horror concept

This show won't have the balls to do that with Lori but that's a gross idea, I love the imagination
They almost get there in 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake.

I figured out what it's like. Fable 3

In Fable 3:

A big monster army is coming to wipe out the city and you have to make moral choices:

Liberal policies that everyone likes so they are happy until monsters kill them

Or conservative policies that everyone hates so you can raise money to build an army to stop the monsters

One of these moral choices is:

Drain a river so we can mine it for valuable resources and not die.

or ... leave it because it looks nice.... Then all die.

That's exactly what the moral dilemmas Shane keeps responding too feels like.

It's just him being right
Sure, but where does the line get drawn? Because Randall getting away and leading his murdering and raping friends to the farm is a very possible outcome you are justified in ending that threat to the group.
What about someone in the group like Lori who is just an idiot and wrecks perfectly good cars by going off on her own and doing something stupid shit which in turn jeopardizes the group? Should you kill her or kick her out because she is a threat to the survival of the group?

Shane is right in the Randall scenario but has also become so unhinged that we could reasonably believe he might extrapolate that mindset into another semi similar scenario where he could wildly in the wrong.

No this is dumb

That guy was shooting at you, you murdered his friends, there are more friends who know about you

"The old ways" having nothing to do with it
Sure but he is currently not a threat to you. In a normal societal setting he would be handled by the authorities and put in prison. This is not a normal societal setting though and there are no authorities to appeal to or jails to put the guy in.
I tend to side with Shane in the argument but there is something to be said for it being an acknowledgement that the old civilized world is dead and the only we care about now is our own survival.

Yes and no, it's sort of a question as to how much of the old civilized ways you want to hang on to. The show will return to that conceptually multiple times. Sometimes in horrible idiotic hamfisted ways, sometimes in better more nuanced ways.

Also, fuck Shane, he did Otis dirty.

It's not that, at least not to me, I just don't understand the need to have a million different names for stuff that already has a classification.
If you like to fuck the opposite the gender exclusively then you would be straight. If you like to fuck the same gender exclusively then you would be gay. If you like to fuck both opposite and same you would be bisexual.

I don't care about the terminology, it doesn't bother me, I just get confused by it. I'm more than open to somone explaining it to me.

When people say "this thing ruined my childhood" I tend to think it's an exaggeration.

But in this case I do really feel like this new wave of Star Wars BS has really affected my ability to enjoy the original media just because it's all so convoluted and saturated now -_-.

I lost interest after Episode 7 and I'm disappointed they just keep going.
Star Wars was always convoluted and over-saturated, it was just contained in books, video games, and comics.

Where do you live or what kind of trauma have you experienced that makes you believe having a firearm in every room of your house necessary to be safe? Im 100% pro-gun ownership, but this mindset has never made sense to me.
Like maybe if you lived in one of the worst neighborhoods of a huge city like Chicago, NY, or LA, or out in the middle of nowhere where police response time is basically "hope you are still alive in 45 minutes when we get there". Or you had a job that put you in an adversarial position against gangs, cartels, or other organized crime. Other than that, I can't really see a scenario where one would need a gun in every room of their house.

Jeff AKA Snoopy posted...
From what I understand, Taylor's first few albums and masters were owned by another company and the douche who owns the company.

Taylor wanted to do some work with her original masters and this guy, since Taylor left AFTER her contract was up, refused. He outright basically told her to fuck off and that she would never have the rights to the original masters ever again. Taylor brings up how this is literally some dude owning her work, but legally there is nothing that can happen. She signed a "bad contract" and that was that.

Douche decides to sell the rights to the masters... but not to Taylor Swift? He sells them to some other company with the legal distinction that Taylor Swift cannot be given them in any way. So instead this company now owns the masters and just let Taylor Swift re-record all her original work without the threat of legal punishment. Do I have this right?

If this is right... my god the music industry is fucking even more horrifying than I thought.
Basically yeah. This is one of the reasons that so many artists will create their own labels or go into business with others to create labels.
