The Walking Dead

Can't wait.

I feel kind of iffy about this episode.  I don't like the way they're writing Rick (again).  We're falling back to "Ricktatorship" with a little hot-headed crazy thrown in for frosting.

Surely, they could have come up with some plan to destroy those walkers while they were all confined.  Bolster up the weak spots and have Carter (the engineer) come up with a makeshift flame thrower or produce dynamite.  They found clothes to fit baby Judith - why not gunpowder?

What they've done is to loose a horde upon anyone down the trail.  The walkers should have been destroyed.  Dumb.  Just stupid. 

I guess we'll soon be dealing with the wolves.  I'm not looking forward to it.  As I've often said, I get uneasy watching humanity's worst characteristics on television.  Must we have psychos every season?  Shane, the bikers, the governor.

Speaking of psychos .... we have quite a few of our group dangling from the precipice.

What happens to Carl..... Oh, Lord.  Don't tell me some sick stuff by the wolves.  I'm trying to shield my mind from the more depraved aspects of humanity.

Well, that was an exciting episode two!  Loved Carol's Ninja routine.  I'd like to believe that was the end of the wolves.  However, it was implied on TTD that more will come.  Can more than a dozen or so murderous people have found one another amidst the chaos that surrounded the outbreak?  I sincerely hope not.  It would be nice to see these guys encounter the horde after they leave the gate.  Why wasn't the back half at the walls after the horn blared?  Hmmm.  Next week?

Can you figure out what's up with Enid?  She seems such a minor character for them to feature.  I didn't see her exit as a big deal - unless she's coming back.  And when Carol passed Morgan at the end, did it appear he was leaving the community?

Last night's episode was so disturbing. When they showed what looked like Glen getting ripped to shreds by walkers, I don't know how else to describe it other then almost feeling like you lost a good friend. It's amazing how we feel so connected to people on a television show especially after watching it for so long.


....However, after watching The Talking Dead after it it doesn't seem like this is the end of the story of Glen. There was the note written by the writers/producers saying we will see Glen again "in some form"....very sketchy. And then there was the fact that they didn't show Glen in the video of the people that died in last nights episode. 


Then there was an article in the Huffington Post that quoted info that was witnessed by people that make it a point week by week of dissecting the episodes and give eye-witness accounts of things they see on the set of filming that gives clues to things to come...

A lot of people have been predicting Glenn's death coming up in the not too distant future, especially when the next villain comes into play....but there is some suspicious things about last night.

When I saw those guts being lifted, I said "shit" aloud.  Then, I thought, wait a minute.  He wouldn't still be alive if he were that ripped apart.  It remains to be seen how the walkers get drawn away from him.  I'm not looking forward to this Negan character, again the worst of humanity.

Then, we have the matter of Rick's hand.  Huff Post says, "Cut it off, Rick."  What possible good could that do now?  He ran on and on after he was cut.  His circulation was pumping.  (BTW, thanks for the link!)

For me, they're bouncing between segments of the cast a bit much.  And in the midst of this chaos, they're going to give us Morgan's backstory next week???

Sheesh.

My thoughts about the dumpster theory are the same as yours.  But...we know they'll find a way.  lol.  On a sadder note, I shudder to think how Maggie will react if something happens to him.

It's one thing to draw a guy with one hand.  Quite another to expect an actor to carry this off for the duration of the show.  Long sleeves in that Georgia heat?  Because of that, I can't see them cutting off Rick's hand.  Even picking up Judith would be a challenge.  As I said earlier, it's too late to stem any infection, given that run.

There seems to be a reason for everything they do on this series, so I'm curious about something.  They showed Daryl leaving Sasha and Abe to go back to help Rick.  Then, with Rick's 'okay' signal, he turns to go back to the car.  Why the useless run?  BTW, did he make it back to lead the car?  In a pre-season preview, they show Daryl bound and sitting against a tree.  I'm wondering if the wolves grab him on his way back.  Hmmm.

Well, that was an interesting explanation for Morgan's change of approach.  The actor who played Eastman was very effective.  However, Morgan's captive Wolf has been bitten, so what's the point in telling him the story???  Wolfie is a soon-to-be walker who's going to bite anyone who happens into that house.

I kind of wish they'd run this episode right after he arrived instead of in the midst of all the chaos that's going on right now.  It was kind of a "thud" in the midst of excitement.

I think my CC identified Rick as the one who shouted "Open the gate," at the end.

PS:  Did you watch the trailer for Into the Badlands?  Looks like a lot of violence, but I'll give it a try.  Honestly, I shudder when I look at the headlines on AOL News.  Violence and mass killing everywhere.  SMH.  Sometimes, I wonder how long this earth has before we completely destroy it and it's people.

You have a point about the wolf.  No zombies in Alexandria.  Guess I wasn't thinking.  lol.

Hello TWD fans, I'm new here and I have been biting at the bit so to speak since last week's episode was all about Morgan and they skipped telling us what is up with Rick and Glen. I was talking to my son about it and he thinks there is a chance that it could be a few more episodes before we get any answers there. That the writers might just keep us hanging for a little while. (I hope not but he could be right) Have any of you heard or read anything to that affect? 

And just for the case of full disclosure, I generally don't watch the Talking Dead, so I don't know if anything was said there at all. Your thoughts?

Welcome, Mama.  It appears your son guessed it.  I don't know how many episodes will drag out Glenn's fate.  TTD got a message from Scott Gimple that implied we'll see Glenn again - in "some form," which may mean zombified. 

As I sit here trying to remember this episode, I find only three things come to mind.  Deanna stabbing at the wolf zombie, Maggie and Aaron don't go out the tunnel gate, and Rick kisses Jessie.  This week seemed like a lot of segmented filler.  And they didn't show us how Rick got out of the RV!  If Glenn escapes, we could be deprived of that little miracle as well.

For the second time, they've had someone make a useless roundtrip.  First, Daryl going back and forth from the car to the SUV.  Now, it's this tunnel trip.  Usually, on this show, it means something.

Hello Singlyme, I am trying to recall something else that I thought I saw on the episode before "Here is not here", when Sasha and the only two black guys that were in the pet shop with her got out, I would have sworn at the very end of that show, I saw them walk back into Alexandria to find a bunch of mayhem had taken place. Now fast forward to this week's show "Now" and they aren't there. I would love to see how they cover that too. There were walkers all around the RV and the side door was open. There is no excuse for how Rick got out. Aliens, maybe? To that extreme, that gives me hope for Glenn, especially since Maggie admitted to being pregnant....(note; one of her biggest fears for the future)

Daryl and his round trip, that will explain how he runs out of gas next week and has to push the bike home. (Saw that in the previews, I'm not psychic) I wish I knew what he thought he could do by leaving the car though. These guys have huge egos. I think they need to start following Carol, her ego seldom ever gets in her way.

What is your take on the teen son of Jesse? Last season I didn't know he existed, this season, oops, there he is and he's fired up at Rick for killing his dad (the jerk), but now Rick hands him a gun to shoot? Excuse me? Did it have any bullets in it? I saw him take them out, but then he hands the kid the gun and says, "There's your target" and points at a walker. That I don't get. Any thoughts on how that is going to go, because Jesse already told Rick that she would train her son and for Rick to leave him alone. I don't think I trust that child just yet. Okay, your turn again.

As for the guys in the pet shop, I'm not sure we've seen Michonne since they got back.  Maybe so.  It's so confusing right now.

In the preview you're referencing, the bike was still revving.  Daryl's forehead was bleeding.  To me, it seemed he was so exhausted, he simply fell off.  But a pre-season preview showed him tied up and leaning against a tree.  Perhaps this is when he'll be captured (by wolves?)

I thought Rick was still being skeptical of Ron's intentions and emptied all but one bullet from the gun.  That kid is going to be trouble.

Michonne! My son gets so annoyed with me that I keep forgetting her name. She looks like she should be named Sasha to me. Or maybe Zena (warrior princess?) . Thanks for that correction, it is appreciated.

Was the bike revving? I had already turned the sound down by then so I didn't realize that, it just seemed like he was pushing it. I fully agree that Ron is up to something, but the question is what? If he plays his cards right, life could become very interesting for him, but I have a feeling he doesn't want to be Rick's step son or have Rick's son (???) for a step brother. What do you think they are going to do about the teen girl that wondered off? There is a whole new age of "Carol-itis" in that one or at least the potential is there, if the writers are so inclined. (Enid? Is that her name?) Oy, one of these days I will get all the characters figured out, and that will be right after each one gets killed off.

Enid is a puzzle.  Some believe she was in the wild for longer than a week after her parents were killed - and that she scouted Alexandria for the wolves.  There's definitely something "off" about the girl.
