Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I really enjoyed the most recent Walking Dead that focussed on the Governor.
I imagine that Carol is in that camp? I don't believe that she ever saw him or met him.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I realize that this is probably a stupid complaint, but the near zombie free utopia town they were in really bothered me. There has not been one single place like that the entire series, then we get the governor barely moving for miles at a time with not a zombie in site. The old crippled zombies, and bathtub zombie bothered me too, we have never seen zombies let missing parts slow them down. Why would anyone leave that place that was somehow safe as can be? Just too inconsistent with everything else in the show.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I agree. I didn't like the idea of a Governor only episode going into it, but it definitely delivered. It showed something different in the Governor, and I'm not sure if we should be convinced that he has changed, or if it is a red herring. I'm leaning towards red herring. Much like with Homeland/Brody, I was hoping that the Governor would just disappear, never to be heard from again, but it looks like The Walking Dead has done a 100 times better job of bringing the Governor back into the fold as Homeland has with Brody.
Speaking of Homeland. It has jumped the shark. I still watch it, but it doesn't have the punch it did that first season. Brody should have been killed, and a solid replacement character and storyline should have replaced him. Right now it seems like it is in limbo, and it just isn't working for me.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Yeah, even if he maybe wants to change, I'd imagine that events will conspire to take his choices (in his mind anyway) away from him.
He'll probably go to barbaric lengths to protect his new "daughter." He's still a bad guy although what was the line from Star Wars (not to be a dork or anything)... "Good and bad is a matter of perspective?"
Either way, I like the parallel story lines and would guess that there is at least one more governor episode to come as we're not on the same timeline as the prison yet.
Thinking of that, Carol couldn't be with the new group yet as she'd still be in the prison as it's not even summer in the Governor's timeline.
As I suspected, they drew me back in after what I thought was a lackluster start to the season.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
On Talking Dead after that episode they were talking about how the Governor can kill hundreds of people, hold zombie death matches for entertainment, and keep aquariums of dead zombie heads one season, and the next season all he has to do is rescue one little girl and he's now a good guy.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Yeah, I thought it was kinda odd that the Guv would zip himself into his little tent at night, and blissfully snooze the night away without worrying about any zombies coming around. Being stuck inside that tent is just making yourself a Hot Pocket for any zombies in the area. But we'll let it ride for dramatic purposes.
The episode before this, didn't we see the Guv standing outside the prison?

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Yes, but the timing is different. The "Rick" timeline at the prison is weeks/months/etc ahead of the "Governor" timeline at this point. We saw the Governor come in at the end of the last prison episode, then this last episode went back in time to right after the governor slaughtered his people. At the end of the last episode, with the Governor, Rick is at the prison preparing for his growing season for his beans and other vegitables that we see him and Carl eating before we see the Governor outside the prison.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I'm betting the latter.
He's gotta know that they'd never take him in or help him. He's got a death sentence waiting for him at the prison.
Either that or the show has its leather coat on while it approaches the ramp on water skis...

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
There is no way they'd take in the Governor, at least Rick wouldn't. He kicked Carol out for less than the Governor did. So I agree with you, if they take him back in....thats complete BS. I'm guessing he has organized a group at that point, and he's looking to "take" the prison from Rick's group.

Michonne, Glen, Maggie... even Darryl although he'd have no way of knowing that the Governor shot Merle.
There'd be a line to get at the Guv.
I'm actually looking forward to a power struggle at the new camp. Doubt he wants to now be the Lt. Governor.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Right, there's no way they take the Guv in, but what if he's just dropping his "family" off, knowing they'll be safe there, and then goping his own way.
On another note, Person of Interest continues to be just terrific. Although very derivative of The Warriors and 16 Blocks, it still worked. And I knew that this was gonna happen, cause the previews were pointing so hard towards it being someone else. But I figured it was gonna be Shaw.

Very ticked. Ended one of my favorite characters. Not happy.
Slap Shot
I got nothing
I wonder if the killer will be the same character in the remake. I assume not to reduce a drop in crossover viewers, but also because the writer for the BBC series had multiple endings in mind. I doubt it will matter much and I'm going to hate it regardless.

That was great. I also liked the hypothetical conversation between the governor and his new lady.
"What happened to your last girlfriend?"
"I fed her to my best friend after I killed him. Don't ask questions."

It seems to fit here as well as anywhere else, because they're not dead yet.
Monty Python is set to do a reunion show on July 1 in London.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
That's kind of an interesting idea to switch up the killer for the American version. I never watched, but I'm assuming that's what happened with The Killing, since everyone hated the American version? I suppose you'd almost have to because it was difficult enough to avoid spoilers when the BBCAmerica version aired over here, let alone on a network like Fox.
Either way, I think you're right that anyone that saw the original is going to hate the new version.
