Yes I am really looking forward to seeing Rick again. The next two episodes are going to be action packed!!!

It's going to be great :).
I was sad that we only had two episodes left until I heard that it was just a mid-season finale. I'm glad it will be a shorter wait!

What do you think happened with (view spoiler)[Eugene? I wonder if Abraham killed him? That blow to the head didn't look good.
I didn't exactly trust Eugene, but I didn't expect him to be lying about everything! (hide spoiler)]

Hard to say, Abraham gave him some pretty bad blows and his head smashed off the road. Ouch. He has to be in pretty bad shape if he is still alive. I 'm not sure how everyone is going to trust Eugene now. I love Sunday night Walking Dead time!!! (hide spoiler)]

concerning our favorite show!: (view spoiler)[truthfully I don't think they would have killed off Eugene on that episode. I mean we just hear the story and that he had lied and Abraham's story is too wrapped up into Eugene's. We are talking about a lot of material would go down the drain if he is killed off the show. The fact that he lied to saved himself with it and also that he is so eccentric and he does care for others, man, that is a walking contradiction (hide spoiler)]

I think that is dead on the nail, Margaret!

Hi *waves* I've missed you all!

Been busy going to football game over the weekend and freezing my patootie off and Notre Dame lost...sigh. So lots of driving and listening/reading too.

Then busy with work and bad weather means I'm driving my new driver around. Sigh, I'm soooo tired.

For the record, I love Walking Dead! I'm so glad that I went back and read all the posts that I missed. Loved the discussions. I saw the 2nd half of the show on Sunday and I need to watch the first half. I fell asleep during Talking Dead and before the replay came on. - I love Daryl and Michonne also. I've read a few of the graphic novels and I liked Tyreese better in the comics.

Hi Marla....I need to get to know you and I hope you can get caught up and welcome to the sidelines with our Walking Dead discussions. I am sure there will be more to come, I am in total denial that we have only 2 episodes left, complete denial, I remind you! Okay....so get that rest and warm up :)

Amanda, is there a "page numbers question" thread for this challenge? I'm listening to an audiobook, and I'm not sure of pagination (or if this one would even count for the challenge!).

For audiobooks we use default edition.

That's my problem : / No edition lists a page number.

There is page thread in captains group.

I can help you with your pagination problem, Ash :).
Is it this one?

Yes, ma'am! Thanks, ladies!

HI Marla!! You have been busy:) Welcome to our Walking Dead club... oops sorry I meant Poisonous Toadstools (Hahahahah).

Just 2 episodes left for 2014 Margaret!! More to come in 2015:)

LOL! alias The Walking Dead Club! hehe.....when are they going to resume? I told my husband in the early part of the year but he doesn't think so. Any ideas?

I think I'm one of the few people who has gone from loving the Walking Dead to hating it. Last season's ignorant writing just really irked me. The "oh let's stab the zombies at the fence eenie-meenie-meinie-moe style" wouldn't have happened, but the writers made the characters act that stupidly in order to have a BIG MOMENT of the fence coming down. That's just one example. Not trying to be nitpicky, but they expect us to believe that these people who have survived for a few years in this hellacious new world just up and went dumb? *sigh* Plus the whole garbage of Rick whining about being leader and then one-man-decision-making Carol's forced exile.

This season, I've only watched three random episodes with my Lobster, but what I've seen has been better than last.

It's starting to restore my faith, but last season's writers shenanigans really ticked me off.

That's my two cents... sorry if I offended any of you fans. I'm getting my fanhood back, but it's slowly and surely.

On a lighter note, if you haven't watched it yet, check this out:

It comes back February 8th, Margaret. If you ever have TV questions, I'm your man. I'm a little obsessed. :)

What Steven....You are tripping my out. I think you are saying that you went from loving it to hating it and then back to being obsessed! LOL! I get your feelings about the writing but hey, my eyes (darn my eyes) can't resist the fine looks, well, maybe not his hairstyle....of Darryl! oh my....and Rick, well, he is mighty fine to look upon, don't email my husband please. So, February 8th, I'm going to correct the husband man. lol

My source( my son.. hehehe ) didn't know! I will try and look it up after and see what I can find!

Ok, I totally agree with you about the fence. If they had been out there killing them off like they should have been...well, things would have been a lot different. I was fuming the entire time. Everyone could see that fence was going to come down.

I'm glad you're getting your fanhood back! This season and the end of last season have been great. There is a lot more character development and they are showing some more intelligence and survival tactics. And no more Farmer Rick! LOL

Wahooo!! thanks for saving me from having to find it myself Steven!!

Rick and Darryl are very easy on the eyes. lol The more stubble, blood, and dirt, the better. :)
Rick especially rocks the blood-spattered beard look.

Its not the most intellectually moving tv show, but hey, its entertainment, silly, weird ( and I will admit stupid at times) but I m definitely hooked too , like Margaret and agree that Darryl is very eye pleasing!!!

Bad Lip Reading is so funny! Have you seen the one they did making Game Of Thrones into a comedy movie trailer? Not sure if that made sense. lol

I can see us all shouting with raucous enthusiasm "NO MORE FARMER RICK! NO MORE FARMER RICK!" Yep

I just watched that one, Amanda... big mistake to watch it at work. I spit water everywhere and laughed so loud that the SENIOR VP OF INVESTING asked me what was going on.

Of course, he loves Game of Thrones and I showed him and he laughed just as hard.

Yet another reason I like my company and my co-workers :)



As for Walking Dead, I'm glad that Carol wasn't gone for good in her exile. She's consistently and constantly proving to be my favorite character, followed closely by Darryl.

Yes Margeret, I'm becoming a fan again... but not obsessed this time around :P I'm wary they're going to pull their stunts again.

And I agree that Rick is easy on the eyes, and Darryl (though he's not really attractive to me physically) really does it for me in how GOOD he is and BRAVE and LOYAL.

oh yeah....and....and.....that wild "don't piss me off" look with wild bulging eyes hehe

I don't care for his "hair slick/stuck to the head" hairstyle though....ugh...I liked his old hairstyle from when the show first started. Whoever came up with the hairstyle should either be fired or shot, whichever is more handy.

now come on, I know deep down you are obsessed and loving it but needing to be the person of reason (in your mind) you'll see, maybe by the end of next year's installment, you'll be as crazy as we are. lol

Hehehe :D. Bad Lip Reading is the best.

I think that's what I love most about Darryl. He is very loyal and brave. He constantly puts the others before him and is always willing to fight for them.
*dreamy sigh*

I think he and Rick make a great team. Especially the new Rick, who is not afraid to get his hands dirty.

Steven wrote: "And I agree that Rick is easy on the eyes, and Darryl (though he's not really attractive to me physically) really does it for me in how GOOD he is and BRAVE and LOYAL."

brave and loyal with a bad boy 'with inner child wounded, please all I really want is to be loved' demeanor. Yep

LOL! I think we really have become The Walking Dead club.
Poor Danielle :D.

I am so sad that I can't join the buddy read for Prince of Fools :(. I finished it in September.

well, I am letting up that resentment and anger over his hair just enough to not reach for the gun yet. :)

There are quite a few rumors going around that he will be revealed to be gay. I'd be interested to see how fans would react to that, considering they very loudly ship him with Carol and/or Beth.

That rumor comes from the showrunner letting slip that there would be a gay character introduced eventually "or someone we know will be revealed to be gay" or whatnot that he said.

Honestly though, I'd wager that rumor would be along the lines of a love interest for Tara, an increasingly popular character as of late. :P

Anyways, that's neither here nor there.

I'm thinking I need to see what all the fuss is about

I wonder how the last two episodes will pan out, seems like there is always a hanger at the last episode. Oh man...I hate for it to end, two months is a very, very long time....sigh

so much will be revealed and not revealed. I never thought I would go for such a show where you see death, blood and mayhem!

I hadn't heard that rumor yet. It would be interesting to see how that plays out.

The actor who plays Darryl (can't think of his name) has stated that he believes any romance with Darryl would be 'awkward', because that is the kind of character Darryl is.

He didn't mean it in a bad way, or that there shouldn't be romance, just that Darryl would be awkward in any romantic situation. I think he is looking forward to acting that out :).

hello! yes! I think the first seasons are on Netflix. I am assuming that you are talking about our talking about The Walking Dead.....it is great and we are all hooked, line and sinker.

My copy of finally came in. I'm looking forward to trying the series out.

That series is on my tbr list, I can't wait to read it :) I am so glad you are back Amanda....well, your avatar, I missed it. I keep having to remind myself that you are you!

Questions about "participation"

We have had some captains ask us about what is considered participation in a BR or BOM.

We consider participation to be meaningful discussion, which generally means that you are commenting while reading the book. A comment after you have finished the book is more of a "review" rather than participation. (we have updated the rules to state this)

For those members who read books in one gulp, there is still the ability to quickly write down a note (even on a piece of paper) to post later. Or to provide meaningful discussion by continuing to discuss the book as others are reading it (for an example: see Steven's comments on this thread)

If you have team members claiming BOM or BR points for leaving a "review" type comment on a thread, please let them know that they can get the points that first time as a benefit of the doubt, but in the future it wouldn't count.

I just couldn't handle it any more. I didn't feel like myself :).
