When Rick was having the weird zone-out thing, I had expected him to grand-slam his daughter into prison's concrete floors and have her explode like a box of tomatoes dropped from orbit.

Better luck next Sunday.

"Expected" and "Hoped" are synonymous in this case, and are both correct.

Exactly, I made it come off as more blunt.

Expecting is to believe a scenario is going to play out. Hoping is to believe that a scenario is going to play out a specific way. You think I'm some kind of baby killer? You sick fuck?

Exempting the whole better luck next Sunday thing, I can't wait until that baby dies.

Expecting is believing a scenario is going to play out, but hoping is wanting a scenario to play out. IE if the New Jersey Douches and the Virginia Meerkats are at the superbowl, and the Douches are a better team, I'll expect them to win. But if I like the Meerkats better, I'll hope for them to win. Not necessarily synonymous.

Cry to Vrazzle and Jag then, I'm not the one who dicked around with my post.

That's not synonymous. The context doesn't change the definition.

Take a gander.

Now I'm done with this.

It's low enough on the list that it's just a vaguely related word. Same with mirage. Mirage isn't a direct synonym for hope, and neither is expect, they're just vaguely related. Basically, just because someone is hoping for something doesn't mean they're expecting it, and vice-versa.

Holy shit, make one comment and it turns into a damn argument over how much we payed attention in English class. Jesus H. Christ.

**Super Mega King** 14th February 2013, 3:00 am

expecting literally means something different than hope and the two words are only loosely related

expecting means that you believe that there is an above average probability of a certain thing happening

hoping means that you want the certain thing to happen, regardless of the odds

I've come to the realization that if a secondary character has the spotlight on them a tad, they're guaranteed to die.

This show is kind of strange to me. It has some legendary source material, and it could be amazing, but it feels lazy and its execution is terrible. The entire show is just one episode after another of mediocrity. It's not the worst show in the world but it's far from good.
