I'm so stealing that to paste it on my wife's facebook wall!
That hair certainly doesn't help.
Who remembers his manly shove from last week's episode. The last thing missing was a whimper sound.
After that scuffle all of Coral's dialogue sounds, in my head, like Wimp Lo from Kung Pow.
Oh, boy. Why did you dig that out?
Can't stop laughing... at my workplace.
Holy sh*t. Holy sh*t.
Holy sh*t. Holy sh*t. :(
Yeah, who knew Wolf guy was really Australian?

Damn foreigners stealing our jorbs!
One of best episodes in past 2 seasons. First 4 minutes were gold.

Well crap. My wife and I both agreed that WD was no longer worth watching (it got really dull at the end of last season) but I've been hearing good things about last night's episode. I may have to watch it just to be really really sure I'm done with the show
Do note that I still have little actual hope for the rest of the season. They put into motion the end of most of the issues/things that have been going on. So it will probably take them another 10 episodes to build up to the next moment.
This episode was worth it though.
I didn't actually enjoy the episode. The pacing was weird - how many hours were they walking on how many streets for it to go from daytime to nighttime?
It's probably not a coincidence that this is also the point in the narrative where I stopped following the graphic novels.
Thought it was a ok episode, nothing to write home about. Really hated how they ended the last episode on the mom, mom, mom thing and skipped right over it in this episode. Didn't like the attempted Glenn fake out death.
I liked the doctor's character development. I also liked that she didn't complain about the wolf getting shot. The end of the zombie walk was good. The town coming together to battle the horde was good.
It was ok. Can't say I loved it but overall it was good.
I also had a problem with the amount of time Rick and co. were walking among the walkers. What should have been minutes looked like it went on for hours. Sick of the teasing, just bring on Negan already - although I have a feeling we may not see him until the last episode of the season. I also liked that the doc didn't complain about the Wolf getting shot, thought for sure she would try and help him out.
Great to finally see this issue from the comics on TV finally. It's a crazy issue and I'm glad they went all in.
The one thing I didn't like is Michonne killing the older brother. Kind of out of character and nobody, not even Michonne, has any reaction to it. They're all 100% cool with killing humans now? Even humans in their group?
The kid was dead as soon as his brother and mom bit it. He wasn't strong enough to recover from that.

They've killed people trying to kill them before. No difference here.
Well, "walking" is in the title.

They killed people before. They have killed lots of people. Not only that but you might have forgotten Michonne killed the cabin guy for not letting them in his cabin. Killing the kid was much more justified than the cabin guy. This was well within character for Michonne and Rick.
i wasn't crazy about the episode.
The bazooka kill was weird and out of place.
I felt that the Wolf developing a kind of conscience but not really, didnt really add anything to the story or towards the Doctor's character growth.
I kept rolling my eyes at Sam not wanting to leave with Gabriel and the baby because "he was brave enough" just to have him die two scenes later. It almost felt like the actors and their managers could not agree to a salary and had to be killed off.
Everything else I loved enough not to care wheather it made sense one way or another.

I think you mean "hilarious and awesome".

Exactly.
So my brother has been hate-watching this show for the last few months nitpicking every thing he can't stand about the series. Yesterday he came to an interesting conclusion. What is the show's end game? A comic and go on forever (I'm looking at you Captain America every comic series ever), but a show? He feels the show wanders a bit aimlessly, which I could agree on.
TWD has maybe two, maybe three seasons left. After that, we go into How I met your Mother territory.

Yep, I talked about the same thing a page or two back. The show needs to declare an end date. That could be 2 seasons from now or 3 or maybe even 4. Give them all something to work towards. Focus the writers attention and keep us (the audience) interested.
Right now the show seems to be a drift with no purpose other than survive and that shine has worn off.

I didn't watch past the first season of Lost but that statement reminds me of Lost.

Interestingly enough, Lost ran for 6 seasons and we're on season 6 of TWD now. I could be off, but I think though that Lost declared an end date by before season 5
Endgame: a full on Ricktatorship.
Sheriff Grimes builds a boat entirely out of spuds
I didn't think it was particularly great. There was plenty of action, but the only plot developments were some people died, more foreshadowing of new bad guy, and everyone is together again.
As soon as they had one guy walk back with Daryl, I knew what the outcome was going to be. (Still enjoyed it though.)

True but this was a kid and someone in their group. It was very sudden and felt more like getting rid of what would have been a dangling plot thread had he survived than anything else.
I don't understand the comment about a lack of direction. I know the season might be dragging on for some people, but in the world of the walking dead we have seen less than a week this season.
Rick is excited and remotivated after seeing everyone come together to take care of the herd. They will rebuild the town and try to rebuild society after that. I see a lot of directions possible here, I have also read the comics too though and know the next few steps.
I think it could end easily once things stabilize, but really there will be a lot of steps to get there, and a second generation of survivors could bring a whole new dynamic as well. When Carl runs things the majority of walkers will have decayed away from the rate we have seen them going. It will be mostly a rebuilding of society type situation. I think that could be a better spin off than the current one.
so after some more thought, I finally came to terms with what bothered me so much about the mid season premiere.
Sam getting eaten was a dumb result from bad parenting from the two parents in that scene; Rick and Jesse.
From the very beginning, we've seen Rick go out of his mind about how protected Carl needs to be at all times. (Go into the house, Coral!) It was the only thing we heard Rick say to his son for the first 3 seasons.
Then we got back talk from Carl. He'd grumble, argue but at the end, he'd obey his father and remain wherever Rick had determined a "stay safe" was. Rick, under no circumstance, would expose his kid to unnecessary danger. It was until very recently that Rick understood Carl was part of the team and needed to be out there. Rick still hates it, but accepts it.
Sunday's episode rides on a season-long rant by Rick of how these people are soft and unprepared. Sam is a weakling, even by Alexandria's standards. Rick, both as a concerned father and group leader, should have realized having Sam out in the streets one minute longer than absolutely necessary was a huge risk for Sam and the group. So even if Rick doesn't care about Sam, he should be concerned with the well being of the team for having to drag Sam along.
The sames goes for Sam's mother; Jesse. She knows how frail he is. And even if he's not; why would you expose Sam? They weren't going to find shelter. That's what Gabriel was doing. The plan at that point was to get vehicles and try to lure the Walkers away. Jesse should have forced both her sons to accompany Gabriel or excused herself and gone with Gabriel and her children.
As a father to a 14months old, my daughter's well being has become my primary concern. It was the father in me that could not believe Jesse giving in to Sam's whining or Rick just staring without saying a single word.
He'd grumble, argue but at the end, he'd obey his father and remain wherever Rick had determined a "stay safe" was.
It's funny. I remember the first three seasons very differently. Carl never stayed put and no one ever knew where Carl was. Google "where's Carl" and you get 100 memes.
Spoilered for language
Oh, absolutely.
- Carl vs the walker stuck in the mud.
- Carl vs the ninja walker that later get Dale and so on.
(they might be the same, I'm not sure anymore).
But they didn't take Carl along like Scrappy Do vs the evil dead!
The reasoning was clear: keep the child away from the clear, present and undead danger.
That no body bothered to actually keep an eye on the children is a discussion well worth having, but the point remains: don't give in into 10 year old's whining when they want to tag along.
