Yes, we thought this week’s episode was on the quieter side. And maybe there wasn’t a lot of plot advancement. And we thought it was great! Listen to find out why. Also, lots of great feedback from you guys and the usual Dead ‘Cast fare. Thanks for listening, you guys. We love ya :)

I so love the new ending but I think Karen will use it when/if her favorite character gets killed.

The title of this episode is referring to Andrea, she was supposed to betray the govenor as Judas did in the bible to Jesus… but she couldnt. I aint no Judas… I thought perhaps too it could refer to Meryl a bit in that he wont betray his brother anymore… also Tyrece wasnt kicked out by Rick, Rick had a tantrum not directed at anyone and the they freaked out and just ran… So I hope they learn to truth now meeting the Govenor as to how evil he is and support or go back to Rick’s group.
The Tom Waits track was a nice touch too…
I totally agree with Jason on the point about advancing the story vs enjoying the storytelling. This was a very strong storytelling episode. I think some people who are more the A.D.D., mindless slasher film type lovers won’t appreciate this episode, but it hit a lot of story points with strong performances. I love that they turned Merle into a multi-layered character. He is great right now. Glad Michonne had some lines here as she was starting to feel like “nu-tdawg”. Why would you get pizza in Thailand? :) great episode.

Also glad Comic Talk is back… My favorite part of the show. As a non reader of the comic, im fascinated by the differences. I think that segment is single handedly going to make me invest in the comic series. I can’t stand it!

Sorry about my bad grammar Karen.. And to clarify Naked attempted murder means governors side. And ninja loving is Her and michone lovin.. which I stand by. They were Def hooking up during the winter. And I’m a quite sure michone legitly lives Andrea even now.

I’m so glad you guys mentioned rick’s bag of guns, I’ve noticed them a few times & got into a debate with my friend about of they were ricks or not.

didn’t know about that tv spoiler in the comic talk segment….wow
I don’t know what’s funnier, Jason’s analogy of Andrea’s pet walker and Thai pizza, or him pondering about the governor’s penis size. :p Still listening…
never even noticed ricks bag. great theory, however.. could just be getting ready for his assault on the prison.. not a far stretch to assume he has a plethora of walkie talkies from all the people hes mowed down
*spoiler Possibly* didn’t the governor kill the Vatos and take Rick’s sheriff bag?
It’s the bag that Andrea was carrying when he captured her.
what was written on the governors eye patch!
2 possible responses: nothing! or you go back and pause it! lol
Codependency- tight on target with Andrea. And Gov is definitely sociopath. Narcissist and no remorse or even conscience about his behavior. Andrea is caught up with a bully who provides her some good/better things in life than what she had living in terror before the ‘safe haven’. Carol has evolved and part of getting out of a codependent relationship is awareness- Carol demonstrates by saying ‘If Ed walked back in I hope I’d be able to tell him to go to hell.’ The fact she had a good time with a pick axe on him (after he died and so he wouldn’t come back as zombie) wasn’t lost on anyone. Team Carol right here!!

Lesson I learned this week: I am more likely to make the podcast if I call with some half-baked humor and read it stream-of-consciousness into the phone while driving across a bridge than if I actually attempt to formulate thoughts :)

Ha ha – sorry Megan. I was totally going to play your call, but we were running long. Please formulate more intelligent thoughts next week and we’ll play it.

I loved the point about the walkie talkies, I noticed them charging a couple of episodes ago. Since there are spoilers out there about one of our favorite Season One characters coming back, I was hoping that the director was showing them deliberately.

Great job with the podcast. And a great episode.
Wow. Guess I’m in the minority here. While I appreciated certain moments in the show, I felt it was awful and that, with this episode, the show has officially jumped the shark.

I’ve always like Andrea. I understand her. I understand her decisions and the reasons she stayed. Even now shes trying to be the leader she never could with Rick’s group. Watch… I bet she proves herself, or gets eaten…:)
