Comments on: In case you were looking for more proof that The Walking Dead's Danai Gurira was awesome, here you go http://boingboing.net/2012/11/06/danai-gurira-awesome.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Fri, 24 May 2013 09:33:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: chumpmeat http://boingboing.net/2012/11/06/danai-gurira-awesome.html#comment-1576773 chumpmeat Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:47:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=192564#comment-1576773 Spoiler alert: Daryl, Merle, and T-Dog don't exist. And one of the Governor's goons is going to shoot Lori and the new baby to death. My point is that the TV show is telling the story its own way with no claim to fidelity to the comic, which anybody who's been paying attention at all knows.

Well, for something that vague to qualify as a true spoiler (one that actually can "spoil" the enjoyment of a story) it could only apply in the case of someone with a truly ridiculous level of spoiler oversensitivity, one so excessive as to not merit any consideration.  Wow.

The quoted sentence above spoils nothing specific, plus if you can read it constitutes all the spoiler warning you could reasonably need, it just doesn't contain the actual word.

Walking Deadfans might like to know that she discusses certain (horrific) things that happen between her katana-wielding character Michonne and the Governor.

We might also like to know about that spoiler.
