The Walking Dead: Who’s Going to Die Before Season 3 Ends?


Recently Natalie Abrams of TV Guide posted her odds for The Walking Dead: Who’s Going to Die Before Season 3 Ends?

I’ll post her odds and my thoughts.  Beware there is a major spoiler if you’re not up-to-date with  watching the show.

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)
Odds: 
100:1
Thoughts: Rick is the star of the show.  I can’t see them killing him off in the tv series unless The Walking Dead runs a long time.  I could see it happening (in the comic and tv show) once Carl is old enough to survive on his own.  Wouldn’t that be interesting if Kirkman had always planned for Carl to be the star?

Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs)
Odds: 99:1
Thoughts: I’d say Carl is one of the safest, if not the safest of all the characters.  He’s become interesting this season since he toughened up.

Beth Greene (Emily Kinney)
Odds: 80:1
Thoughts: I could see her character going either way… surviving or being killed off.  She’s a tough one to call.

Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride)
Odds: 50:1
Thoughts: She’s slowing toughening up and her (potential) relationship with Daryl could prove interesting.

Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus)
Odds: 35:1
Thoughts: Daryl is safer than Rick and possibly even Carl.  His character is too popular to kill.

Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun)
Odds: 30:1
Thoughts: Glenn’s days are numbered… if his character follows the path of the comic.  He should be okay to last this season though.

Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan)
Odds: 25:1
Thoughts: I’d be shocked to see Maggie killed off… although if they are going for shock value, she would be a good choice.

Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson)
Odds: 15:1
Thoughts: I’d hate to see him bite the dust, but Hershel’s days are numbered.

Michonne (Danai Gurira)
Odds: 10:1
Thoughts: Michonne is a safe as can be.  I see her right up there with Rick, Carl and Daryl.

Andrea (Laurie Holden)
Odds: 7:1
Thoughts: Andrea wanted to die in season two.  She may get her wish in season three.

Milton Mamet (Dallas Roberts)
Odds: 4:1
Thoughts: Milton is a minion of the Governor… and we all know what happens to minions.  If he was on Star Trek, he’d be wearing a red shirt.

Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker)
Odds: 3:1
Thoughts: If you’re caught up on watching the show, you know that Merle ended up wanting “braaains.”

The Governor (David Morrissey)
Odds: 2:1
Thoughts: The Gov is going to be killed at some point… but will he make it to season four?  I’d say, “Yes” but what do I know?

“The Goon” Movie… Let’s Kickstart This Sucker!

Ten years ago I wrote a post talking about an awesome new comic series called The Goon.  For more than a decade,  Eric Powell [who created, writes and draws] The Goon has continued to produce a comic loved by fans of all ages.

So it was no surprise when, four years ago, The Goon was optioned to become a feature film

About a year later we got to see a couple of production images showing how The Goon movie would look. 

Two years ago we were treated to a movie poster for The Goon which was listed as “Coming Soon to a Theater Near You.” 

A year ago we got to glimpse test footage from The Goon.   Each step of the way, the hope for an actual full length feature length Goon film seemed closer to becoming a reality.  Unfortunately, even with David [Se7en] Fincher on board, the financing wasn’t there.

Now thanks to Kickstarter, all that can change.  I’m in.  Will you join me?  The Goon movie… Let’s Kickstart this sucker!

Kirkman & Moore Settle Suit!

Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore have amicably settled their suit over The Walking DeadIn a joint statement sent to CBR.com it was announced that… 

  • “Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore are pleased to jointly announce that they have reached an amicable agreement in their respective lawsuits and all parties have settled the entire matter to everyone’s mutual satisfaction. Neither side will be discussing any details but will instead happily and productively spend their time focused on their own work and move on in their lives.” 

Excellent news.  Truly excellent.
