Episode 8 “Too Far Gone” : Bitter Goodbyes and Hershel Greene

The Walker Stalkers: A Podcast for Fans of The Walking Dead show

Summary: Episode 8 "Too Far Gone" : GirlStalk - Bitter Goodbyes and Hershel Greene - The Walker Stalkers By : Shannon Toohey Wow guys. I am feeling a bit numb from Sunday night. We have such great love for this show, such ‘big zombie love’. We also know the risk in loving this kind of show too much. Loving this show is like loving the bad boy in high school who is a really good kisser but skips class to smear banana peels on the gym floor and draw graffiti on the football storage unit. I feel like Wynona Rider in 'Heathers'. You know that eventually you will become the football storage unit. And his graffiti will be on you. And your broken heart. And if you are Heather, he will kill you or your loved ones. Okay so that was a bit extreme. But you know what I mean right? I mean really! But I have a personal woe to share. I am usually the picture of a weepy fan during the show. The littlest streak of emotion from Carol or Rick can cause waterworks. This is me the entire time. But this took it a step further. It left me in shock and unable to breathe. It was one of those moments when I wanted to cry so badly, but was too busy covering my wide open mouth with a blanket and trying to pick my organs up from off the floor. At least my stomach, brain and jaw from off the floor. Now what really got me and turned on the waterworks was after the episode, when Lauren Cohan, the beautiful sweet Lauren Cohan, began to loose composure on the Talking Dead while sitting next to Scott Wilson. We love you Lauren! And we love you too Scott. I am so happy that Scott is coming to Walker Stalker Con again. I never got the chance to meet him last time! It is easy to forget that the actors have gone to work with each other every day, and now have to show up and not see a friend they’ve worked with for the past two years. The crew the cast and the fans all experience it. A few episodes back, I featured Hershel in GirlStalk after he saved Glen and most of the sick people in the prison. Since that episode he has passed down his very own wise words to Rick. Actually, since the farm Hershel has been a mentor to Rick. He was a father to not only Maggie and Beth but to everyone. Rick has been at a struggle with his leadership this season, but he came full circle as a leader this week and Hershel knew he helped him. Rick used Hershel’s words of wisdom in the face of danger. He took control in a new way. A peaceful and sensible way. Which is why Hershel died with a smile on his face. I just want to take a look back at Hershel’s life on The Walking Dead through pictures. I hope everybody is healing up well. I know it was a tough one to get through, and even tougher that there is a two month wait for another episode to ease the pain. When we first met Hershel he was a very different man. He saved Carl's life and earned all of our love right off the bat. He had lost his wife and much of his family. He didn’t believe that the walkers were dangerous. His hope was to treat them and bring them back to life. He was set in his ways. He protected his farm to for as long as he possibly could. "This is my farm. I'll die here." - Hershel Greene.
