re: Official The Walking Dead Season 5 Finale S05E16 "Conquer" NO COMICS

Father Gabe sucks so bad and they should have killed him already. Sasha needs to go away, forever. Oh and Glenn should have killed Nicholas instead of bringing him back. I wonder what his punishment is going to be and how that process plays out.

I was surprised no major character was killed this episode. Kinda disappointed, but it was still a great finale.

If the wolves are the exiled group like most believe, where is the female at? A-A-ron said it was 2 men and one female. So if that is them then where is she at?

Why do the walkers have the W and also those two dudes? I get the wolves part, but why both humans and zombies?

It was clear Darryl knew something was up when he glanced at the trucks and hesitated. No idea why he still opened them though. I noticed the cans hanging from the trucks and told the wife that something wrong.

I really hope they show that A-A-ron remembers dropping his bag with the pics and map. If they do, then we should be able to see Alexandria go through big changes prepping for the wolves to attack them. They only way they can be successful (if it is just 2 guys) is by using that vast zombie army and getting them inside Alexandria. No signs yet that they have any sort of heavy fire power.

Great finale, and interested to see how they manage this pending conflict with the wolves, Morgan/Rick relationship, transformation of Alexdria, and what they do with Nicholas.

I think Gabriel is over his problem now, whatever it was, based on seeing them holding hands and praying after the whole ordeal with Sasha. I think he gets it together and becomes a solid character next season.

Now see, Gabriel is the one kind of crazy I don't think I'd be able to live with. Want to sleep on a bed of walkers like Sasha? - sure, no skin off my nose. Want to threaten children that you will tie them to a tree and let walkers eat them like Carol? - ok. Extreme but if you have to keep the kid quiet, you gotta do what you gotta do. Want to kill a guy because he's beating his wife who you have the hots for like Rick? Sure, got yer back.

But going to the leader of our new community and telling her shite about our group trying to get us kicked out. And leaving the gate open on top of that? frick you Gabe. Too dangerous to live and let live.

I don't know. I agree with you for the most part (especially about them killing most people), but I will be disappointed if they've been building up toward "the Wolves" for most of this half-season, only for it to end up being just these two asshats.

---

I think there are others but not many. Hence the army of walkers. They need them IMO and will attempt to use them on Alexandria. (pretty obvious, I know)

Hell no. that two face coward would be left outside the gates.

didn't look like they needed a bunch of firepower to blow thru that wall of the neighborhood where Noah grew up

with that army, they could just employ Governor tactics

blow a hole in the wall
back up a truck
unload your army of walkers
?????
profit

I think that the two guys are just scouts, and that's why they keep tagging the phrase "Wolves not far" and carving Ws in trees and stuff. Those are being used as "bread crumbs" for the main group to follow. I'm thinking that the scouts do all of the prep work for the main group, and the main group use the zombies and any other resources that the scouts have gathered to take down the next town that they come across.

I think the only significance with the story of the exiled people was to add tension to the Rick "trial". I guess we could find out that the scouts stumbled across the 3 exiles and turned the two guys into zombies, and did who knows what to the girl (who was the girl that Daryl and Aaron stumbled upon tied to the tree). But I don't think the exiles will be part of the wolves.

I'm more inclined to thinking she is a badass because of the Terminus thing and surviving on her own after being banished by Rick.

---

I can dig that a little bit. She definitely saved the day at Terminus and even pulled some "badass" type moves.

She's definitely a survivor for sure. But her bold, new confidence may be her downfall.

quote:

I'm just shocked he's survived this long.

Samesies. At least Eugene's useless arse made himself seem important and wasnt a pyscho. His lie gave them purpose and a mission.

Gabe just fricks everything up like early seasons Coral.

She's the only one of the group that can play both sides of the coin. The people in A-Town think she's this quiet middle age women. She can their trust and use that to her advantage imo.

I think the two exiles are the Wolves and I think they are working alone. They use zombies as weapons and force multipliers. I realize it doesn't make practical sense but the exiles have been brought up way too many times now and it has been pointed out it was two guys and one girl. Who are the Wolves? Two guys.

Aaron said they drove them way put and dumped them. Makes sense that they could have blindfolded them and dumped them out in an unknown area. Unless the two exiles spent a lot of time outside the walls in Alexandria they might not know the terrain or where ASZ actually was. Take them out a hundres miles and dump them and they might not know the way back. Now they find Aaron's bag, the pictures, a map, they realize their trap missed the guy who drove them out and dumped them, yeah, these guys will for sure be coming to take that place down. Also, if the exiles come back and kill people in ASZ it reinforces what Rick has been saying about how people need to be dealt with and that his way is the right way.

Finally, it's TV, everything comes full circle in TV shows. I'd be surprised if it wasn't them, or at least if it's not them the exiles don't reappear at some point in time.
