I'm reading it phonetically and hearing my name. How is it supposed to be said?
When I read it phonetically, I get ja-sica, not je-sica. But in absence of actual information, I default to how it looks.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In my extensive two-minute research on the internet, which is never wrong, I found three whole random sources that tell me her name is pronounced Jah-SEE-ka, emphasis on the i as a long e sound.
In short, all of our guesses were wrong. She remains awesome, though. As do we.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I love it. I was all Holy Shit at the end of the ep, but it (if what happens turns out to be...um...final) would add a very interesting dynamic to the storyline.
OMG, I saw some people saying how they knew that was going to happen. The hell?! I couldn’t have been more surprised if the deer had gone all night of living dead and started eating the character.
Darryl is a racist, but he seems to be more of a group player this season and getting over the racism, and his competency (and biceps) is...kinda hot.
Darryl with a crossbow is a pretty thing. At one point last night, I asked, did Daryl get more sane this season or is everyone else just as crazy?
And I LIKE the blonde (name memfault -- Andrea?). I'm pissed as hell at the MENZ taking the little woman's gun for her own good. Fuck all over that bullshit.
Laurie Holden is amazing. I like that Dale found what he feels is family, but good for her for letting him know that was his baggage. I loved that she clearly stated he didn’t do her any favors by staying with her but that she saved his life by leaving. You go!
Shane? Is a dick. I hope he gets eaten.I have a soft spot for Shane and his biceps. I like how much he loves Rick. The rest of it is character complication so he’s not boring to me. Also, I kind of ship Shane and Andrea.
And I want to know what the scientist told Rick! Screw that fake out BS at the beginning of the ep. GRRR.
I sent out a message if anyone could read lips. I’m grateful that I didn’t remember that bit before the start of this season. That would have driven me crazy over the break.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

That's kind of what I was expecting.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
If they'd had an incident where somebody got hit by friendly fire, I can see getting all cautious about who gets the guns.
But Andrea, for all her upset, is still one of the more determined and level-headed in the company. I mean, for god's sake, she just STABBED A ZOMBIE TO DEATH WITH A SCREWDRIVER.
I'm willing to hand-wave that you can only get infected by zombie SALIVA, because if you can get it from blood contact, like AIDS, they're probably all dead from the hand-to-zombie-hand combat they've all been forced to do.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I was like SHUT YOUR MOUTH STOP SCREAMING YOU'RE INGESTING ZOMBIE BLOOD NOOOOO.

PS, if it wasn't summer, I'd be going around wearing football pads and a hockey mask.
(I wonder if the zombies, with little body temperature, freeze solid in the winter? Or at least might get a bit more slowed down?)

@sherrif_Rick posted [link] ratings for last night. I'm kind of having fun reading the character plays on twitter.
But Andrea, for all her upset, is still one of the more determined and level-headed in the company. I mean, for god's sake, she just STABBED A ZOMBIE TO DEATH WITH A SCREWDRIVER.
This. Keep a level head and try to assemble a gun after only seeing it done once. Who cares if she didn't get it assembled. She used what she could get her hands on!

I'm with P-C and Theodosia. I kept telling them to get the blood off. A couple characters keep getting the blood on their face. Geez. Also, the guy that got his arm cut last night was just wearing a bandage? It was spurting like an arterial bleed.
I did see some compliments on twitter about how realistic AMC was being. Bwahahahahaha.

Zombies shuffle at the speed of plot.
