Today's episode felt too slow again. It was probably my least favorite episode so far.

The ending was insane. Even though I had a feeling he would shoot that guy, I was still shocked to see that happen. Shane is definitely gonna be an interesting character as this series continues. They implied that as he stared at that mirror like a psycho.

I'm wondering when they will show Merle again. Also, do you think Morgan and his son Duane will ever come back? I'm thinking they would've showed their return by now... What do you guys think?

I'm so disappointed with this season. And I kind of knew that he shot Otis.

Me too. I feel Rick is terribly miscast. Far too emotional and weak compared to books. The fact that they haven't brought Tyrese and Michonne into the story is mind boggling. That and Shane should have been dead in season one. I hope they speed things up a bit and introduce 'The Governor' by mid season.

They do in the books but not until way later.

I doubt thats going to happen, they already said they are going to split off from the books.

Finding an abandoned prison to shoot for half a season of episodes would cost a fortune

How is it too slow for god sake, if they kept the pace of the books the show would be over in a season. They are filling in the blanks, in the books they spent over a month at the farm. You cant have every episode of them running away and shooting zombies it would be boring.

Wish they'd get moving again...so dull when they are just stuck in the one spot like the out n about exploring the zombie apocolyptic dystopia.

WHen you guys say books do you mean comics or where there actual books?

I didn't think about that aspect. You have to admit that it would be amazing if they did. I still think the show needs Michonne and Tyrese because right now the characters are boring. If they are going to stray from the original story, then flesh out other characters instead of Rick, Shane and Lori.

not too bad of an episode also. im still curious where shanes character is heading. Last weeks episode he seemed pretty evil with what he did to the guy at the fema camp, and this week everything seemed good especially at the well scene.

I will say that the pharmacy sex act was pretty funny, don't know why the kid hesitated at first lol

I know I'm harking back to Ep 3 here but...

...The people who are thinking Shane is a Psycho....think about it. He's confessed his love for Lori...and he worships Carl too. To him, out there, he needed to save the kid...and Otis was just one man too many in the way of him completing that. He did what any Father would do...whatever it took to "save his child" - the fact he's not his father makes the story even more gripping.

I didn't really find what Shane did last week all that surprising, It was either throw the other guy to the Zombies, or they both die along with the kid. It was his fault he was in such a bad state anyway so in a nasty way it's karma.

It would mess him up a ton tho, especially as the guy had came back for him earlier.

This week it was a little slow, but still great, like someone else said, they can't have them running away from zombies and shooting them in every episode because then it would become really boring. I think the show is doing great so far.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
