Impressive is when brits sing and dont sound like they have a cold and cotton up their nose.

I find it amazing how most people who are not American sound so American when they sing in English. IE: Abba, Steppenwolf, most Brit and Aussie singers.

That's because all those foreign people are faking accents so they sound so much more sophisticated. J/K But it is a curious thing isn't it. I'm almost certain, I saw it mentioned in a news story once I'll look it up see if theres some reason for this, right after I go make sure I have enough grub/snacks set aside for my big tv night. Grimm/Hannibal

Scarlet, in Gone With The Wind, was played by Vivian Leigh and she was as British as they come. The story goes that "they" simply could not find a Scarlet in the US.

I've been in the states 13 years now and have never tried to sound "american", and people can always tell I'm an Aussie lol

I like Rick, but I drool more when he's being Andrew Lincoln and using his normal voice lol

So anyway, back to this week's TWD....It kinda looks like this episode is going to be mainly Daryl & Beth? Just wondering if just the two of them can carry an entire episode on their own with no other regular cast members?

Will be intersting, no doubt, and looks like there'll be some zombie action as well.

You know, the fact that Kirkman is on record as saying he has no interest in exploring or revealing how this all started is really starting to bug me. That is a HUGE detail to leave out.

Hopefuly he changes his mind.

Why does it matter though? It's already happened. This is a story about survival. It doesn't need to be about how everything started.

I don't see how that would add to the show. What if it was an airborne virus or chemical warfare or something else? All of the characters would still be in the same predicament with no end in sight.
