What was THAT at the end? It was a meh Finale. Last week was better imo.

Yeah i felt the same. Im really hating on lori too. She had the affair and caused the riff between rick and shane. I dont think the group should be hating on rick either.

Season 3 should be interesting. Just sucks i have to wait over 6 months too see it.

the writers were just saying on talking dead that lori isn't really ****ed at rick but more ****ed because she put things in motion and caused shanes death

I am also curious about the helicopter at the beginning, heck If I was in this a helicopter would be necessary

also anyone else think finding a 2 way radio would be a something they should have done ages ago for those split up moments

I like that the show deviates from the comic because stuff happens when you least expect it. Like Dale's death. I was expecting him to bite it in Season 3/4. I also like that they developed Shane a bit more before they killed him off.

Ill have to check out the comics again. I stopped because I didn't want the deviations to ruin things for me

For me, reading the comics first made the show even more enjoyable. When Andrea was saved, and they showed who it was, I hit the roof. I didn't see it coming and, "it," is one of my favorite characters from the comic. If you think Daryl is a bada**, wait until you see this new character.

And what Rick was told at the CDC, I called that.

I was thinking the same about the radio situation while watching this episode. I'm also surprised that they didn't come up with some sort of escape plan in case of a herd attack. But as they said, they were stupid for assuming that they were safe to being with.

Yes, noise attracts them, but my point is the group has been in the woods for hours and didn't see a single one.. Then Carl shoots his gun and hundreds come out from no where. I would at least think it'd take them a while longer to limp their way. Not a big deal, just slightly unbelievable.

On a side note I was thinking that Shane was communicating with the horde in the woods as he was turning and we see those flashes of zombies. I guessed that would be why the horde was moving in that direction. However, it does not explain why they didn't move in that direction when Shane discharged his gun fighting with Rick.

It was nice that they finally revealed what was said to Rick from the guy in the CDC before it blew up. Now to answer where that mysterious helicopter is from? Ugh can't wait for next season - which is too long away.

If i remember correctly it is already revealed in comic.

They probably did but I never got into the comics of this so this is all new to me! :rolleyes:

it was more toward the thread than your post, i just quoted it so other members will know what i am talking about. If you don't read comics its cool, not everybody likes reading.

During the Talking Dead, Glen Mazzara said that Lori is hating herself. It isn't necessarily Rick she's mad at, but herself. She just happens to be taking it out on Rick right now.

It thought it was a great finale until the ending though. Everyone is all of the sudden mad at Rick because he withheld this small bit of information about everyone being infected? How does that change anything really? Do they feel any different now than they did before they knew that? Are they in the exact same situation they were before? Seriously, the way they write these characters would make me want to kill them all because they're all stupid. I couldn't stand how Shane went about things, but I think even he would have kept that to himself because it wouldn't have helped a thing to tell them.

The irony of the finale is Rick has sort of taken on a bit of Shane's no beating around the bush attitude.

It makes a HUGE difference.

Let's say you and I find a nice, safe spot to hole up. Before, it would have been fine if you suddenly had a heart attack in the middle of the night. I would have woken up, found your un-bitten corpse and threw you out. But NOW, I have to worry about it. You have a heart attack while I'm asleep and I become instant zombie food.

Yea, HUGE difference.

Seeing Rick confess to Lori what he did to Shane; I kind of saw Rick take on some of Shane's mannerisms...that crazy stare...certain speech patterns. I thought that scene was great!!

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
