Yeah, wouldn't they still be lunging, kicking, and attempting to lick one to death? How did this person--whose sex I could not determine from the show, so the first person here who used the feminine pronoun spoiled me, and my world ended, as if in a zombie apocalypse--teach them to heel?

Her sex was obvious in the show - seriously, what dude is wearing leggings in the woods?

SPOILER ALERT she's also African American.

It's possible that the slave-zombies are also blind/deaf/anosmic. If they have little to no sensory input, we have no point of reference for how they will act. Besides anosmia it would be pretty easy to accomplish either of those things on a Zombie.

[Sarah]

I wasn't questioning that it could be done; merely how. And I saw no leggings (the picture was really dark on my screen). Don't be so tetchy, Ms. O'Solace.

Not surprisely the finale has sent comic sales up.

In the comics she has the zombies on a leash for about 5 panels maybe so it's not that big a deal as to how she gets them to not try and attack her. I guess you can just assume that the zombies have at least a small amount of logic working in their brains since they were able to see that the fence at the beginning at the episode was impeding them so they tried to break it down, so maybe after many unsuccessful attempts at biting Michonne they figured out it was pointless. We have to remember that these zombies aren't as braindead as the ones in Night of the Living Dead. We did see one turn a door knob in the pilot episode after all.

Also, as a fan of the comic, I have to say that if season 3 is even somewhat parallel to the prison storyline in the book then everyone is going to quit complaining about how slow the show is and how nothing happens. Big things are coming next fall. I hope they don't try and squeeze it all into one season. And I hope they keep the Governors's story and dealings with Michonne as close to the book as they can on cable tv.

Is it possible to have the comics discussed elsewhere or with spoiler tags? I'm not reading them and I don't want spoilers!

[ASR]

I spoiler-tag anything I talk about regarding the comics. Nobody else seems to be doing that, and I apologize. I even specifically refrained from revealing Michonne's name and gender.

[Weinerslave]

But even if you COULD put an armless, toothless zombie on a leash, WHY would you do that? Just to make a memorable entrance?

And if this "Michonna" from the comic is still black on the show, they'll probably call her "M-Dog." So get ready for that.

There's a reason in the comics, but can't mention it here! I should stop reading this forum. It just makes me want to give out spoilers and I'm sure it's annoying people to hear about the comic books. Or you people need to get cooler and start reading more comic books.

[crlygrl]

Or, use the spoiler tags and talk all you want!

[nathansmart]

yes, I want to read all the spoilers because there's a chance it could be different and because I knew the Titanic was going to sink and it didn't ruin my tiny enjoyment

Spoiler:  

From the Walking Dead Wikia: "she pulled the shackled zombies of her boyfriend and his best friend along by chain to act as a deterrent to the undead. She cut off their arms and lower jaws so that they wouldn't attack her."

Spoiler:  

So zombies have the mental capacity to recognize the fact that their fellow zombies have been mutilated and to try to avoid a similar fate? Even though they routinely walk in the direction of people firing shotguns that are blowing the heads off the all the zombies around them? What the risen Christ?

Spoiler: I am going to love whatever ridiculous shit happens in season 3.

Spoiler:  

I think the logic was that she would blend in with them? Similar to how they smeared zombie goo on themselves. It has been a while since I read them. But either way, it is pretty ridiculous. I think Kirkman focused more on badass visuals than logic in that instance.

I think that is right.

I'm not as excited for the prison after this season as I thought I would be. In the comics it is a huge deal but it was kind of a change of pace. They were on the move a lot more. Now I'm just worried it is going to be talking, and wandering, on the farm part 2.

Hopefully they won't dilly around and will get to the Governor shit fast. That is one step closer to Lori getting shot the fuck up. Fuck Lori.
