The Walking Dead

Spoiler: In the Novel Companion to the Comics

Brian "Phillip" Blake takes over Woodbury from three Reservists who are basically just going around raping and taking what they want.

Spoiler: More novel spoilers

I liked the novel a lot right up until the point where Nick Kills Philip and than Brian kills Nick that was just adding a twist for the sake of adding a twist.

OT: I'm really enjoying this season, I'm glad I didn't give up on the series during Season 2.

Spoiler: Series spoiler

I'm curious what will happen to the baby, well besides crying when the group has to stay quiet of course.

Although the game, on the other hand, is great fun...

NOT LORI! NO, NO, NO! Seriously, the way she died in the show, made me shed more than just one tear. I also loved the evolution and flashbacks that Carl went through in that moment. It also makes me worry for his future, well, sanity.

Also... A baby... In a zombie apocalypse... Yeah I see that going well.
NOT.

Spoiler

Reading the comments on this thread, I was starting to think I was the only person in the world who was sad when Lori died.

The characters are currently too busy accidentally shooting or injuring themselves or one other to worry about zombies.

Admittedly my largest gripe with the series as it is progressing is "The greater threat in their world seems to be human stupidity more than the actual zombies."

So many situations they could have avoided had they just not been complete morons, it's almost becoming farcical.

Yeah, it makes sense to him, because he's an idiot. Soldiers have been psychologically conditioned to obey authority. The only reason not to take them is if he really sucks at his job of being a leader, and ordering people around.

What makes you think he killed them for fear of loosing his control over the town? Not really sure how anyone could come up with a decent reasoning for his actions so soon in to the series and given that by ep3 we really didn't know what was going on, after ep5 though we have a bit of a clearer picture of what is going in that town.

Spoiler

It was clear very soon on that something is going on under the Governor's rule, what it was I wasn't quite sure but after ep5 it is clear that they are doing something with the walkers and the objective is probably going to involve curing his infected daughter. Army guys are fine if you can control them but they are new to the camp will have spent a good deal of time in the field and chances are they would have wanted to ensure that their new 'haven' was well and truly secure, especially so given what happened to them at their last camp. That means trained folk with weapons snooping around his town and potentially finding his infected wife and daughter.
