The issue I have with this 'all life is precious' lifestyle is surely when something is destroying that life, e.g. The Wolves, wouldn't you therefore be compelled to put an end to it? Is the one life of a bad person worth the lives of several 'good' people?
The locked up wolf is clearly going to come back to haunt him, either by escaping and killing someone or perhaps even killing Morgan, although I doubt it.
That last episode was wall to wall fluff.
That's being kind to it.
From one of the best episodes of the show to one of the very worst.
I really want that doctor lady to die a horrible death.
Indeed, dull dull dull.
"No I will go alone"
"No I should go alone"
"No you can't go alone, let me"
Fuck off.
Was the bit at the end signifying a living character's blood or just a small hole in the fence? Every time Deanna appears on screen it takes me a second or two to realise she's not a walker.
Deanna has been threatening to go full mental for a while now and we're getting to the stage where she needs to be one or the other, because she's adding nothing at the moment, especially if she's going to hand leading Alexandria over to Rick.
The way she killed the walker with the broken bottle suggested that was the moment to send her over the edge.
The Glenn thing needs to be resolved now. Hopefully they don't string it out for another episode. I thought it'd be revealed at the end of last night's episode as Maggie was going off on her crusade, but all that served to do was give her renewed optimism.
It was all a bit 'filler' for me. Hopefully next week is an improvement.
I thought the blood seeping through the fence was a way to show a crack in the fencing, from the truck hitting it. Maggie revealing she's pregnant is an interesting touch, as it's something that isn't really touched on in the series (save for Lori with Judith). I kept expecting Morgan's prisoner to fuck some shit up, especially when Jessie was walking up to the window to reveal the suicide walker.
They seem to be sticking with two or three episodes happening in different places but at the same time for the first half of the season, so nothing will be resolved or revealed too quickly. It's like last season when it closed with Darryl telling someone to come out and it was around three years before we found out it was Chris Rock.
The water zombies were fucking grim, the special FX have got a lot better as the show has grown.
They looked ready to fall apart, she could have just yanked their jaws off like Michonne did with her family.
There was a lazy continuity mistake when Erin was seeing laying around in swamp water and in the very next shot they have a close up of the two of them walking into the tunnel, with his legs and arse bone dry.
The kid Carl was scrapping with is definitely going to try killing either him or Rick right? Probably kill his mum or brother by mistake, the little twat.
Teen angst is nearly as annoying as the continued idiocy from the majority of incumbents in that town. They need a cull.
Agreed. When Maggie was holding one of them off, trying to push it away, her hands were just going through it, playing around with it's innerds.Originally Posted by Benny

As for the blood coming through the fence at the end, I initially took it as walker blood from the crush on the other side. Upon reflection, the fact that it was even shot makes me think it's something more significant.
It's definitely to show a crack in the fence and therefore an impending doom to the township...
Did make me laugh when Ron asks Rick to teach him how to shoot a gun and Rick doesn't any potential problem with that idea. To me Ron's game is to try and get Rick to leave the town looking for that little scamp Enid, hopefully get his tits bit off by a walker and die, leaving him to shoot Carl in his mullet riding face.
Hopefully that impending doom becomes a reality. The show is much better when they're out in the open, fighting off walkers and doing food runs rather than being all tucked up in housed communities and hiding behind walls.
Problem with stumbling across yet another community is that the same lesson seems to be taught each time, with the moral being 'you think you know it all but you don't, Rick and Co. know what they're doing out there'. I'm more interested in knowing who was behind the Wolves, they seemed to have some head honch running shit.
I'd much rather they actually go to a community with scientists or some sort of government which shows signs of society. That brief period where they were in that disease centre was great as it felt like there was something beyond the end of the world. As it is, it's just a Scooby doo scene or plant, window, door until a major character dies.
More action-packed fluff indeed. It was good to see an appearance from Arthur Leigh Allen the other week though.

Better episode than last week but it's not quite hit the spot.
I liked that episode a lot, seems to be setting everything up. The pair of legs walking around in charge isToggle Spoiler
Fuck off the start of this episode.
Not watched the last 2 eps as I have been bored by them. Basically it's just been on in the background while I play FM.
Pretty much.

Test.
Anyone really surprised?
I reckon a lot of people will be done with this show after this season finishes, one of the podcasts I listen to called this happening and said this is the only time they've actually thought about throwing the towel in, however it's how they make their living so they're obliged to carry on watching it.
Heh, me and girlfriend just switched over when we saw that.
Test.
I don't think it redeemed itself at any point. Compete wank.
Called it.
The writers are so fucking shit.
Called it aswell and I'm watching it half-arsed.
We all called it.
I don't think anyone believed he was dead, it was just how he'd get out of it. Waiting for them all to go away is alright but doesn't tally with them never leaving the walls of Alexandria. I thought someone would come save him somehow.
The kid planning to kill Carl has to be dead next episode. Stupid whiny girl will probably do the job.
After Carls hard man act, I wouldn't miss him.
Nobody will ever miss Cuurrl. Not even Rick.
The zombies near Glenn must have fucked off a long way too, he was properly giving it the 'EEEENID' and not a single one came near them.
There was a time when I really liked Carl. When they were at the prison I think. Rick had turned into a complete fanny (that shit "Farmer Rick" stage he had post "this isn't a democracy anymore!" but pre-beard, bad times) and Carl went the other way, didn't want to hang around with the other kids, just wanted to shoot guns and kill things all the time. Around the time he shot the other kid and Hershel grassed him in. He was good then. He's been a bit shit for a while now though.
That kid will definitely try something. I'm not sure anyone could blame him either. Hardly the greatest idea is it? Get the father and son duo who killed his Dad and sort of stole his girlfriend, respectively, to team up and collectively patronise him whilst teaching him how to operate firearms.
Rick casually tearing Gabriels poster down and not making any effort to hide the fact he'd just done it was, for some reason, laugh-out-loud funny to me.
I haven't watched this weeks episode yet but I really hope that quite a few of the dickhead characters are mown down.
I'll probably watch the episode and be absolutely seething that not only no one managed to die but they somehow also miraculously save the fucking town.
One out of two at least, unless you're a particular Deanna fan.
Felt a bit limp, as if this was the episode before the mid-season finale rather than the show itself. The Wolf guy was about the only good thing in it, although when Ron's stood there with the silhouetted walkers behind him I was sure he was toast.
Nope, she was one on my list.
Hopefully the little bitch Sam and the female doctor get the boot too.
Well, that was shit.
"Hey, everyone, great news! I just remembered that we can smear ourselves in Walker guts and stroll around staring right at them and they won't even notice we're human, I can't believe I forgot this was a thing!".
They need to do this so the Walker's won't smell them, he says. Why didn't the fucking Walker's smell Glenn when several hundred of them knew he was hiding under a fucking bin? Why doesn't Glenn kill a Walker, roll around in its innards and just walk back into the fucking town and look for Maggie and the rest of them, if it's that easy?
I don't like to be that guy that nitpicks, but the writing is infuriatingly bad sometimes.
Why don't they all just carry walkers around with chains like Michone used to? It would make them invisible.
It's very difficult to care about anyone in this any more, I look forward to everyone dying more and more.
So, are we all back in?
