re: Official The Walking Dead S05E14 "Spend" NO COMICS

Damn I have to say this has been my favorite episode in a very long time. I hope the next 2 can be just as good resolving all this tension

I missed a very important scene in this episode in regards to Rick, Jessie's wife, and Carol. What happened, exactly? Did the husband threaten Carol?

Nothing was directly shown on screen...but the boy(forget his name) asked Carol if he could have a gun and she asked why and he said it was for someone else. Later Carol goes to the house to see the son again and the husband answers it and won't let her in and tells her to go away. Maybe she notices something through the door, but later she tells Rick that he is hitting Jessie and maybe the boy. I think she just had instincts since she was abused or maybe she's just jumping to conclusions

Man, how f*cked up would it be if they did kill him and he wasn't even beating his wife and kid, and that the kid was just lying about what the gun was for because he just wanted to have it because Carol threatened his life?

I dont think he will, after the priest leaves you hear someone screaming for help outside. I assume it's Glenn arriving, rick has had Shane moments in the past two episodes.

I wonder if turmoil will eventually split the core group. With Morals.

Liked the episode last night, I just am not sure I'm a fan of how things are starting to shake out. It's like the group is doing a 180 (at least some of them).

Carol telling Rick that he needs to kill the doc because he's an abusive a-hole? That's a pretty dangerous path to go down. I mean, what if she's wrong and Rick kills him or something like that? (although I do think she's right) I did think last night how awesome it would be if they killed doc and it turns out that it was the mom who was abusive.

Last night was the first time in a while that I got pissed at the ammo situation. Any time there is one, or very few zombies around, you should kill them hand-to-hand. Completely no need to waste the ammo. Just seems like there is a complete disregard for shorts on the ammo front lately.

Hated to see Noah go like that, but I guess Black Highlander is still in effect. I was wondering why they didn't try to shoot/break themselves out of the revolving door on the sides (a.k.a. the two sides without walkers...basically the two compartments they were in; behind them) and make a run for it.

Interesting to me that Rick and Carol are talking about killing the doc for being an alcoholic, while Glenn had every right to kill that dude Nicholas at the warehouse but he didn't. Definitely could see the group splitting into different directions morally.

Still no idea why Carol is such a dick to that kid.

This season has been pretty solid, and it sucks that there are only a couple episodes left before another LONG arse wait between season.

That was pretty awesome though.

I don't think some of you are getting it regarding the wife beating doc. There is no such thing as jail in the ZA. When Carol says there is only one way this can turn out she is right. They could banish the guy but he would still turn up dead, or worse, become an external threat hell bent on revenge. She understands abusers because she was once a victim. Abusers don't just stop because they are told to sto or they get caught. Somebody is going to end up dead, either Jesse at the hands of her abusive husband, or the Doc at the hands of Rick.

Best episode the season and favorite episode since Season 1.

This is the pace the show should be at, at all times!
