I'm wondering if the governor will cut Rick's hand just like in the comics.

i doubt it since kirkman said he regretted cutting off rick's hand.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

yeah they're not cutting off rick's hand

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

I thought it was Rutina Wesley from True Blood who was casted as Michonne.

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure rick's hand wont get cut off but maybe someone else might?

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

^^
It has already been spoiled two posts below

 

[DeGenerate10]

I think it would be cool to see T-Dawg lose his hand. Maybe Merle will be the Governor's right hand man and get revenge on T-Dawg

 

[Sawyer]

Well, Rick needs to lose something..... a finger, maybe? An ear?

His balls? Oh, wait, Lori already took those.

Anchor Bay Announces The Walking Dead Season 2 Blu-ray/DVD
http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/new...nnounces-the-walking-dead-season-2-blu-raydvd

Anchor Bay Entertainment is bringing The Walking Dead: The Complete Second Season to DVD and Blu-ray on August 28th. Here's the lowdown, direct from our pals at AB:

A truly unique and very limited edition zombie head case created and designed by McFarlane Toys will also be available as Blu-ray™ only for a SRP of $99.99. Pre-book is August 1st. The 4-Disc sets will contain all 13 episodes of the second season and will be loaded with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, featurettes and audio commentaries.

The Walking Dead: The Complete Second Season is the much anticipated next chapter to the acclaimed post zombie apocalypse series. When we last left the “The Walking Dead,” the characters were in the midst of a high-intensity struggle to survive, fleeing the CDC as it burst into flames. In Season 2, they are still fighting zombies, and each other, facing more threats and obstacles than ever before.

Based on the hugely successful and popular comic books, written by Robert Kirkman, AMC’s “The Walking Dead” captures the ongoing human drama after a zombie apocalypse. The series follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln (Love Actually), who are traveling in search of a safe and secure home. However, instead of the zombies, it’s the living who still remain that may be the biggest threat. Jon Bernthal (Rampart) plays Shane Walsh, Rick's sheriff's department partner before the apocalypse, and Sarah Wayne Callies (“Prison Break”), is Rick's wife, Lori. The Walking Dead: The Complete Second Season cast also includes Laurie Holden (Fantastic Four), Steven Yeun (My Name is Jerry), Norman Reedus (The Boondock Saints), Jeffrey DeMunn (The Shawshank Redemption), Chandler Riggs (Get Low), Iron E. Singleton (Seeking Justice) and Melissa McBride (The Mist). Guest stars for the second season include Lauren Cohan (“Chuck”), Scott Wilson (Monster) and Pruitt Taylor Vince (Constantine).

“The Walking Dead” is a hit with both audiences and critics. The first season won the Emmy® Award for Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup for a Series, Miniseries, Movie or Special and was nominated for Emmys® in Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series and Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series. Season 1 also garnered a Golden Globe® nomination for Best Television Series - Drama, and was named to the American Film Institute’s (AFI) Top 10 Programs of the Year (2010), among other accolades.

Season 3 of “The Walking Dead” premieres on AMC in October.

Yeah, I doubt Rick will lose his hand too. I don't mind it.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I can see them going either way on the handlebar mustache. The long hair is essential, though. He needs to have a sort of dirty hippie look about him.

It depends on how Morrisey looks and acts with it. If it deters the performance, they won't use it.

 

[Sawyer]

I need moar season three pics.

 

[Kane52630]

I bought the complete season 1 blu ray, I can't wait to see episode 1 in black and white.

Keck's Exclusives: Meet The Walking Dead's Evil Governor

Fans who can't wait for AMC's The Walking Dead to return this fall can get a taste of Season 3's new villain this summer. British actor David Morrissey will play Dead's twisted Governor, who's expected to lead an attack on Rick's crew after they take refuge in the prison glimpsed at the end of Season 2. But first, David stars in two TV-movies airing on Encore — Thorne: Sleepyhead (June 12) and Thorne: Scaredy Cat (June 13). I chatted up the actor just before he headed to Atlanta to begin his Dead role.

TV Guide Magazine: Besides working with an accent coach, how have you been preparing to play The Governor?
Morrissey: I've got the graphic novels but have only read Robert Kirkman's [prequel] Rise of The Governor, which I thought was brilliant. There was so much in that book that I could [use], like the desire for survival above everything else. I'm finding out what his fears, anxieties and loves are so I can make him my own.

TV Guide Magazine: Have you shot in a prison before?
Morrissey: I did a show in the U.K. called Out of Control, where we worked in an actual juvenile prison. I shadowed an officer, which gave me insight into how we treat prisoners.

TV Guide Magazine: What are you most looking forward to about joining The Walking Dead?
Morrissey: It's the right show at the right time. My family will be joining me in Atlanta. I've known Andrew Lincoln [Rick] from around London; we have mutual friends. And I get to go to Comic-Con.

TV Guide Magazine: Your TV-movie character, Tom Thorne, sounds pretty badass. Almost like Det. Vic Mackey from The Shield.
Morrissey: I loved The Shield. Tom Thorne is a detective inspector who definitely will bend rules. But he really cares about the people he's out to protect and has great empathy for some of the victims. One of the victims in Sleepyhead is a young girl who has been put in a pseudo coma by a serial killer whose intent is to keep girls in vegetative states. Thorne's so desperate to solve the case, he interrogates her in a very violent matter and manages to get a reaction out of her. That's very telling for who this character is. There are eight books, and we're hoping to adapt another next year.
TV Guide Magazine: So Thorne vs. The Governor: Who'd win?
Morrissey: That's a hell of a question. A real rumble in the jungle. Tom would fight to the death, but I wouldn't be a betting man on that. I'd sure like to see it, though!

[Shifty]

Sounds great! Will DVR Talking Dead and the Black and White Pilot.
They'll also be plugging season five of Breaking Bad which premieres the next weekend!

 

[Sawyer]

"Just a week before Comic-Con"? Did SDCC get moved up or something. Usually it isn't until the end of July.

It starts July 12 this year. They move it around, but it's usually in July.

 

[Sawyer]

That pic of Rick and the gun =

 

[Kane52630]

Oh sh** that is new.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

That gun looks like a hair dryer. Watch out, zombies. Rick will make you FABULOUS.

 

[Sawyer]

If only he was pointing it at Lori.... a gun, not a hairdryer.

Though she could probably use one of those as well.

 

[HighFivingMF]

She's turn to dust.

 

[carrrnuttt]

Looks like a homemade silencer. Something that shouldn't have taken them this long to come up with.
