Ya Jenner said something significant in season 1, my first guess was he told Rick that Lori was pregnant when he took her blood; but at the beginning of season 2 Rick was on the walkie with Morgan telling him that Jenner's secret could mean quite alot for the world. Hopefully we'll findd out sooner rather than later.

I just finished the most recent episode and damn, that was one of the best endings/cliffhangers I have ever seen. I cannot wait for the next episdode tonight, this is a great show.

Yeah, that was pretty good. I liked how the first half of this second season was all about how he wasn't being as much of a "hard ass" as the rest of them - but when it came to it he was the one who stepped up. I truly didn't see that coming with her being in the barn the whole time. I think it struck me like a few seconds before she walked out.

it is a great show, I'm DVR'ing it right now. Certainly one of the best shows on the basic cable channels (not HBO or Showtime).

I wish the seasons were longer thought. The first season was only like 6 episodes...I don't know if that's because they didn't expect it to last or if that's because that was how long the book series went.

I didn't particularly like the episodes when they were in the bottom of that government building in the first season but I'm loving this season now that they're a smaller group out on their own and this farm group that they're staying with is pretty interesting.

I just started watching it on Netflix. I just signed up for their free month and saw this. Since I grew up with the zombie movies in the 80's. I thought I check this out. Had Netflix since Friday and I'm already on episode 5.. Love this show. Do you get recent new releases in the US on Netflix. Most of the new releases on the Canadian version are a few years old.

I also just got into the show having watched Season 1 on Netflix (in the U.S.). Unfortunately S2 is not available on Netflix here, or at least wasn't a couple of weeks ago.  You can either pay for S2 or if you're so inclined you might find a sharing / streaming site with it available.  Last night's episode was S3E1. 

I agree that S2 was not as good due to so much down time at the farm, but it's still a good show and watching the descent of Shane has been entertaining. 

I think the best actor in the show is Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl.  I can't wait to see if his brother shows up some where down the road.

As far as what was whispered to Rick at the CDC, it can't have been about Lori's pregnancy.  My guess is that the virus was man-made and got loose from the CDC.

Lagunatis, CA, BUT they are no longer located in Lagunatis. The founders of the company were not knowledgeable in the physics of yeast fermentation and dumped all of the waste yeast into the sewer system. The yeast did its thing, and blew up the sewer system. The city council issued an ultimatum to the founders; pay for a new sewer system or be banished from the city forever. They chose to leave and name the company after the city that banished them.

The Sucks is really good.  They made it in place of Brown Shugga which is normally their winter season beer.  SInce they had their new brewhouse coming in, they couldn't make Brown Shugga so made the Lagunitas Sucks instead.  You probably wont be able to get it again anytime soon, so get and enjoy now if you can!

Will they please kill zombies during the show instead of killing one in the last 5 minutes? I'm getting sick of the same old crap, this farm thing I'm sure saved them tons of money.

Yeah, it really looks like they dropped the ball on that one.  Sure that episode would have been expensive but with all of the attention the show has been getting they should have bit the bullet and did it.  I think the show has lost popularity this last season because of the drawn out character development with little to no action.

The episode that they described would have put the show on an entirely different level, in my opinion.  I just keep waiting for some ridiculous stuff to go down or something mind-blowing to happen, and it just doesn't. 

*Semi-spoiler alert*  Tonight's episode had an interesting scene at the end, but it looks to me like they're on the farm to stay for the near future.  The sooner they get off the farm the better IMO, at least for the sake of keeping the show interesting.

I've seen so many zombie movies if there was an apocalypse I would survive, we spent so much time planning this stuff I kind of want it to happen.

My roomates and I spent the first day of our new house drinking and formulating a plan in case the zombie apocalypse happened. It was like the christening of the house we did it for the 3 different houses we lived in during our years at Western.

I'll be watching the new episode on my DVR after the grammys are finished. I'm on west coast time out here in Oregon.

I'm in agreement that the first half of season two really got bogged down. Although we did learn a lot about some of the characters. Hopefully it'll get moving quick this season.

In terms of what I am drinking. Well that is a special treat. A couple of months ago me and a some budies brewed our own Imperial IPA. 7.9% ABV, 94 IBUs, dark brown in color. It was our first attempt and it turned out really well. 

We had a little help from Portland UBrew & Pub, so if you are ever in Pdx stop by anf give them a try. 

And the best part about our beer is that it only cost us about $2 per 22oz bottle. 

I love Beervana!

Enjoy the show everyone...

So you've read the graphic novels?  I haven't, and I'm debating on whether to start now.  On one hand, I hear that they are amazing, but on the other hand, I feel like they will 'ruin' many of the plot twists in the show for me.  How closely is the show following the plot of the graphic novels?

yea I read them & I love the art work mainly ... obviously the story has legs, as it's been carried over pretty well to TV.  but if you like nice art, the books are worth a look.  I'm happy to have a couple graphic novels like The Walking Dead & The Watchmen on my book shelf along with all my literature & fantasy/sci fi novels.

I found it funny that Lori would go off on her own, pregnant and in a place she had no idea where she was going.  Damn women screw everything up.
