Actually Carol handled her Sophia's death way better than Rick handled Lori's. I don't recall Carol flipping out and talking to dead people on a phone that doesn't work.

 

very funny and very well put. I am a fan of Carol. Hope she is around long term.

 

To be fair Rick has a bit more stress than just losing his wife. Anyway, I'll certainly agree that Carol is lucky to have made it this far. I'd rather see Andrea's sister alive and well than Carol though. Maybe she could have talked some sense into Andrea.

 

I LOVE Carol!

 

I really like Carol too. After she was rescued you could tell how close the group really was when Rick and Hershel were so happy and relieved to see her. I hope she can stick out season 3 anyway.....

 

That's fair. Carol seems to handle stress a little better than Rick though. Probably because her life was so crappy before the ZA and she is used to it.

 

Thats a good point.

I also agree that she is being glanced over a lot. I think with the baby she will play a bigger role, so that will probalby be her big shining moment.

 

I also thought that Carol's reaction to seeing Walker Sophia was the most emotional scene of the entire show. Rick's reaction to Lori's death was probably a close second. Maybe it just struck me different becuase Sophia was a child, and I imagined what it would be like to see my daughter like that. I think THAT would cause me to lose my shit, Rick style.

 

That was by far my favorite scene of the show so far!!

On a side note. I know Daryl just happened to be right there, but I think that was the beginning of this whole romance thing they got going now. YAH BUDDY!!!

 

I am with you here. Carol is (after Daryl) my favourite TWD character, and I don't get why some ppl hate her for her grey, short hair or being such a family-woman. I will support her and Daryl's relation till the end and I think that though Melissa McBride isn't a proffessional actress, she's given cher character a depth, heart and strength, that many other female characters (ex. Lori) never had. I hope that TWD writers won't kill Carol off, she is important to the group, to thousands of the fans and which is crucial imo, she is important to Daryl. If he looses her, he won't be the same Daryl that we all love anymore. That's what I think.

 

I don't think the show will kill her anytime soon. I don't think that she and Daryl will "hook up" though. They have a platonic relationship IMO.

 

I am not sayin' they will hook up. But i also don't think their relation is platonic. I mean, platonic characters don't joke about "screwin' around" and massaging each other's backs. Also, platonic couples don't go nuts if they loose their partner, like Daryl did when he thought Carol was lost during ep 5 and 6 this season. And if you look at promo picture with Rick and Carol from the incoming ep. 9, you can see how much he is trying to reassure her and make her feel better - you think its all cos she had a platonic relationship with D.? Doubt that. I may be wrong, I am just a girl who would love to see D & C together, but I don't think I am just seeing things. All this is happening, I am sure.

I joke around with platonic girlfriends about sex all the time. Its called flirting. It doesn't mean that it leads to anything. Carol and Daryl definitely have a special bond-. He was the one person out of the whole group that spent the most time looking for her daughter. I am sure that meant a lot to her. If you are waiting for them to have a "romantic" relationship, I think you are going to be disappointed.

 

I am 32 years old, I know what flirting is. And I think in Zombie Apocalypse it all may be a little different. As for "romantic relationship", whether you like it or not, it is happening. It may not be standard or ordinary, it is all wierd - cos Daryl is weird and lost, Carol is too, imagine how strange it must be for them to feel something...in these times, in terms when they all could die in a heartbeat. That's what I find exciting, and that's what I find exciting in Carol. She won't give up, she goes on. She lost everything, but hope. I think that's what is amazing about this show. You got nothing, you fight to survive...but you wouldn't be able to, without these people. Carol and Daryl are these people to me.

 

cough *bullshet* cough

You know you want to show them your machete

 

She has an improved lifestyle now that her ^%#$^ husband is gone. I think she was so glad he was gone that she helped destroy his head. She probably didn't want him coming back as a walker.

Rick has been under constant stress, and having to be in charge. It is one thing to be a follower, it is another thing to be a leader.

 

I like Carol but I don't feel passionate about her as I do the other characters. She just kinda fades into the background. Even though I do like her character, I won't be disappointed if her character dies in upcoming episodes. With the introduction of these new characters most assuredly someone is about to die and I think it may be her, Hershel or Beth.
