Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
With T-Dog and Carol, they were running and fighting for their lives, adrenalin pumping, no time to mournWith T-Dog and Carol, they were running and fighting for their lives, adrenalin pumping, no time to mourn
They found Carol's scarf minutes before they got outside and heard that Lori's dead. I mean, they'd only just discussed it with the larger group. I'm not sure where the running and fighting was--all the revelations of death to the group at large were in one scene, and the scene where they find Carol's scarf and what I'm assuming was T's body happened at a leisurely ho-hum stroll.
As long as the white guy has some deaths of black people and women to move along his story
That's unfair. The death of the black people isn't moving his story along at all.
But they'd just engaged in a massive fight, and Carl, Lori and Memfault got separated. (The RickCrew knew they were lost, right? I can't remember.)
And losing people...I mean, it hurts and it sucks, but they've lost so many of their groups that everyone is kinda PTSD at this point. I'm not saying you're wrong, ita !, and I should go back and rewatch that section.
I thought this was a strong ep.
But they'd just engaged in a massive fight, and Carl, Lori and Memfault got separated
They walk past T's body and Carol's scarf, go outside, say that those two have died, Rick says "That doesn't mean Lori et al are dead", then Bela walks out with the baby and Carl has the dead eyes and people start literally falling out.
Including not-related-to Lori people, which is the bit that seemed kinda callous.
I'm a sick wench; I was kinda hoping the baby would be a zombie-baby.
And I STILL think Bela (SPN, that's totes how I think of her, too) should have shot Dead!Lori, not Carl.
I was kinda hoping the baby would be a zombie-baby.
yes. we are sick together. I even insisted that it was and Beau talked me off the ledge: "no way it is a zombie baby, the baby has to be born first!"
Grr.
and people start literally falling out.
who else besides Rick and Maggie? when they panned around everyone else just kind of seemed in shock, not devastated like Rick. Maggie was sobbing because she essentially killed Lori.
everyone else just kind of seemed in shock
It is really devastating, but there was
zero
reaction for Carol and T. I would be bitching about that anyway, but the fact that the bawling started (I'm going with four of them crying or equivalent, and jaws dropping with the others as opposed to shrugging from before) for death #3, and it didn't look like a cumulative thing from where I was sitting, but more like a "Oh, well,
that's
really sad, tho" thing.
COLD.
I agree that the lack of reaction about T-Dog and Carol is pretty heinous. though, i do think Daryl showed a bit of emotion when he picked up her scarf.

no, it's just Carl(who only lets a single tear slide down his cheek), Rick and Maggie who are crying. see? [link]
I'm standing by my measurement of Glenn as crying-adjacent rather than agog-adjacent. Three crying, one equivalent.
we'll have to agree to disagree on that. i see him as trying to comfort Maggie.
