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!!

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
