Just pay attention to the show. Its the same thing when people were saying its an upside down m.

For the record, that was me and it was 10000000% a joke. But people ran with it for whatever reason, even after I clarified that it was completely in jest apparently.






Solid episode last night. I'd have liked if a main character had died, but other than that I thought it was pretty great.

Glenn should 100% be dead IMO. Though I haven't written off that he's been bitten and is hiding it, the way he shrugged off getting shot in the shoulder/neck and how he kept popping up out of nowhere and attacking Nicholas was pretty stupid. And then in the end, he couldn't kill him? That's fricking weak.

frick the preacher. Dude needs to be exiled or allowed to kill himself or some shite.

I think what I liked most about this episode was that they kept jumping back and forth with just about every main character. Seems like there wasn't really anybody that was left out. I guess you can do that when you have an extra 30 minutes, and I hope all the finales are this long in the future.

Morgan all of a sudden having badass bowstaff skills was pretty hilarious, but I rolled with it. I did think it was a little weird that they knew the Wolves were coming, but still stayed at the warehouse chatting it up.

Also was a little disappointed that Darryl didn't notice that trap.

Rick seemed to struggle with those three walkers a good bit, but that kill when he shoved the gun through the walkers head was pretty awesome.

Rick's face at the end of the episode when his eyes are black right after he shoots Pete was cold-blooded fricking awesome. I took a pic of my TV with my phone:



I did think it was awesome that Deanna's main point about wanting to exile Rick (which seems like how she was leaning) was that he had a gun (that he wasn't supposed to have) and was dangerous, and then he waltzes into the meeting covered in blood, carrying a dead (re-dead?) walker, and with another gun.

I laughed at how quickly after Deanna told him to "do it" that Rick shot Pete

It was a real zero fricks moment

highly highly highly doubt that the Wolves are just these two guys.

I disagree.

Another entire group of bad guys would be treading old ground. Two guys using zombies as force multipliers would be new and interesting.

See I thought that was the point. Glenn is a survivor.

Right, I realize that. I just mean that he gets shot in the shoulder/neck. Then he gets in a full-fledged fight with Nicholas. Then he is laying on the ground while multiple walkers fall down on top of him. Glenn is a survivor, but he's not Superman.

And if Glenn was as survivalist as you give him credit for, he'd have shot Nicholas without hesitation. I mean, he already admits that he should've done it already with the whole Aiden situation, but then he straight up set a trap for Glenn and ambushed him and tried to murder him....twice.

He's still the Magic Negro. I now akin him to Randall Flagg in all of Stephen King's books.

Same here. I think they were shooting for the same type of character transformation that Carol went though.

I think Gabriel is over his problem now, whatever it was,

I thought this was known. Gabriel locked himself in the church and left his congreagation/neighbors to die outside. Remember "Youll burn for this" scratched into the wall? Then, Rick and Co come along and basically do the exact opposite. How many times do these people that have only just met him save his arse? And he couldn't even open the door for his people?

Gabriel's hatred was fueled by his guilt. Perhaps he is over it.

True. When the episode opened on him last night I was like "Magical Negro!!" then laughed. But then like ten minutes later he's whipping people's asses with a bowstaff and I was like "Well, maybe he really is."

I caught a few minutes of TTD after, and saw who he was trained by. But then I just got pissed because he called him a "teenage mutant ninja hero turtle."

I know it's a small detail to point out but when Daryl was riding around on the bike, did anyone else think "That's about the least tactical thing he could do when he knows there's trouble around"?

You can hear a motorcycle from incredibly far away in the country.
