The Walking Dead (no comics spoilers)

Yeah, this one wasn't as grating as last week's contrived array of dialouge scenes were to me, but I agree with points above on Tina's death - that may well go down as the most patheitic death by walker yet. Also, the whole diabetes/insulin play. I found it a little strange that after the Unknown Bad Group plowed through the forest right up to the two escapees that Daryl was able to easily grab them and lead them away without being seen.

The Abraham/Sasha interactions were strange at times, but unexpected, and as such didn't appear to belabor a specific point or lesson home, so I was alright with that.

Hope the voice on the walkie wasn't Glenn. Not because I hate Glenn, more I fear them bringing him back falling over the thin line from credible plot twist into straight gimmick play. On the other hand, maybe they're teasing those hoping for his escape and are going to do a Sophie 2.0 at the mid-season break.

 

PArticularly disturbing for me as I just had to watch my dog go through that recently. That insulin shot would have put her through the floor with convulsions.

Not to mention the timeline is rather disjointed with them saying when it started they set the fire and are only a few miles away from the place they left....

Why no mention of the fire by the Alexandrians? A huge forest fire just 20 or so miles away would definitely be viewable from the smoke.

Perfectly good cigars sitting in a wooden box for how long????

 

I did not go back a listen again but I thought it was Rick and after thinking about it maybe they were doing a flash back thing and we are going to see how he got out of the RV jam. The other thing I was lost on was how all of a sudden they aren't worried about the herd of walkers. Maybe I am thinking out of the box but I feel like they are doing a flashback kind of thing. I can't help but think the whole RPG thing is the way they end the herd but will bring in the other group????

 

That was the one thing I felt was really odd about the episode. The whole season so far has had a large focus on this herd that needs to be led away, and that's all Abraham and Sasha have been working toward. Then all of a sudden, they run into some gun play and completely ignore the fact that the herd is no longer being led. Granted, they moved it pretty far away from Alexandria, but unless I missed something, they weren't to the point they were trying to get to with the herd yet.

 

No, they were at the correct point. They said they had to lead the herd until the junction with 642, and that's what they did. The accelerated out of there because they needed to put distance between them and thwbwalkera when they turned off.
I'm left with a few questions after this episode. Who were the folks who ambushed Sasha, Abraham and Daryl? We're they the same ones after the blonde dude abdvthe two women?
Did Abraham even try to see if the hummer would run? If the RPGs and cigars were still there, chances are that it probably ran too.
As for the handheld radio, I'm saying it was probably the blonde guy. We'll see him dead up the road. Darryl will get his bike and crossbow back. I'd imagine the other woman with him will still be alive though.
My biggest flaw/nitpick with this episode was when the blonde dude stole the bike and crossbow from Darryl. We know that the guy has never killed anyone according to the three questions. Why didn't Daryl call the guy's bluff?

 

Problem 2 the other half of the herd heard the gunfire from Alexandria and headed that direction. This part should have heard the gunfire as well and headed that direction.

 

I was just looking around- and I was a little surprised to have stumbled upon this. I love this time of year for 2 reasons. The Walking Dead & the Steelers.

I did end up finding out who was on the walkie. I'm usually not one to spoil the show for myself but I just had to find out. Don't worry, I won't tell!

I like this season so far- but I don't really like the way they have the time jumping around. My favorite characters are Carol & Daryl. I love the how much they've grown. It's crazy that it took a zombie apocalypse for them to find out how strong they are. I like Rick & Michonne too.

 

FWIW, Fear was boring most of us to tears. I think around episode 5 it gets really interesting.

 

I don't know where you found out- but I get on spoilthedead. It's a forum too & they seem to know everything there. They have spoilers but they also have General show discussion & episode discussion too. If you don't know about it, check it out. It's great.
I'm sad the first half of the season is over too. It seems like every time I get used to it being on again, it goes back off.

On one hand, I'm anxious to see Negan- especially after finding out who's going to play him. On the other hand, because of what he brings with him, I could wait another season for him to show up. He makes the Governor look like a teddy bear.
I knew FearTWD would start off slow & I didn't mind that. My issue was with the characters too. After the amazing job they did casting TWD, I was really surprised. The only character I really liked was Tobias. And he's in like 2 episodes. Anyone else could've died bloody & I wouldn't have cared. I liked liked Kim Dickens better in Sons of Anarchy- and she was a prostitute. I'm hoping it gets better next season (& Tobias comes back.)

 

Loved her in Deadwood (also a prostitute). She's a good actress.

Lol @ visiting spoiler sites. I typically don't get around to some of my shows until the day after they air and I feel like I have to almost avoid the internet entirely in order to safely go unspoiled anymore.

 

I think it was Season 3 that I spoiled the whole mid-season finale for myself. I regretted it immediately. Since then, I really haven't looked- unless (like you said) something really gets to me. And I just really wanted to know if it was Glenn on the walkie- since his "death scene" just wasn't very believable to me for a few different reasons.

The name is a little misleading but Spoilthedead isn't all spoilers. They have speculation, season & episode discussion, General show talk, on & on. They do pretty good at keeping the spoilers in a specific place. I've been on there for a couple of years now & I don't think I've
ever accidentally seen a spoiler. I'm sure it happens- it's just never happened to me. They have a place for FearTWD too.

 

I thought /think have'ING Glen survive his fall into the zombies, was'/is highley far fetched.. there is no way he woudnt have gotten bitten IMO.. Surrounded bye dozens of zombies yelling and screaming on your back and you dont get bit, cmon man
