With the barn in ashes and Hershel’s practically-nameless relatives gone, the second season of The Walking Dead lurches to a close. Longtime listeners will know that we weren’t necessarily all that taken with the first-season finale, “TS-19.” How did “Beside the Dying Fire” fare in comparison? Spoiler alert: a lot better. We discuss Michonne, Rick’s change or lack thereof, and try to figure out just what’s going on in the mind of Lori.

Nice podcast! Don’t ever be not negative! Just keep doing what you do.
I don’t think there is much we can do about the actor playing Carl unless he grows up a lot between seasons. The period of time that has passed since the beginning of season one isn’t much more than a month, correct? (And maybe just a couple weeks on the farm?) The producers should listen to your solution, which is to just give him less to do.
And I like Andrew Lincoln too. His character walks the line of sensitivity and having to be strong. He seems as if he will be leaning stronger going forward.
So, I know nothing about the new, hooded character Michonne (played by Danai Gurira) except from what I read, which is that she is a Fan Favorite. Looking forward to that!
Thanks again for the podcast. It definitely adds perspective to my viewing experience! :)
Another great episode guys. Don’t listen to the negative feedback, who would want to listen to a podcast praise everything and the series bad moments. Can’t wait to hear you guys next season and the Game of Thrones podcast.
