Walking Dead

[Ironwood]

Good Episode, great pacing, but there were three separate moments of 'Wait, you're doing what, that's retarded' that kinda ruined the immersion a bit.

Also, are we supposed to think it was an accident 
Hey ho.

[Ironwood]

Yes, that was my question and also my opinion.  I wondered if it was just me being... evil in thought.

[Strazos]

[Bunk]

It fit pretty well.

[Tebonas]

Can't wait till Carol and friends tear that place apart. The Governors town was an Utopia compared to this setup and I wouldn't have thought the Cannibals would turn out to be the lesser evil of this season.

[Ironwood]

Errr, I still think Terminus is way worse mate.

[Tebonas]

Maybe, but while I despise what the Cannibals did, I think they were more broken than evil. That could be because we were told why they became that way and I find it tragic.

This is just a bunch of assholes with a lazy and/or ineffectual leader that operate their little corner of the world like a company mining town with rape as currency. And I loathe the concept of company mining towns to begin with.

[Ironwood]

Yeah, but she's broken and they're blokes.

You've yet to see the backstory of why.

Jesus, you're siding with the Cannibals.  I've been on to you since The Start !

[Tebonas]

The fact that my doctor told me I can't eat meat for two weeks has nothing to do with this. Everybody who implies thats why I like butchers more than hospitals is a dirty liar!

Be it as it may. I am looking fowards to Carol handing their asses to them just like she did with the Cannibals. I just hope they don't screw that up and kill her off.

[Tale]

And being where you are, the doctor would have told you not to eat fleisch, so basically you're craving flesh. We are so on to you.

[Ironwood]

Two Things :

1 - I can't give a toss about Beth.  You'd think I'd be able to, but I've tried and I just.  don't.  care.

2 -  It's getting very old that people who should know better don't for the sake of dramatic tension.  How many times will this group TRUST when they shouldn't ?  VERY OLD.

[apocrypha]

I rolled my eyes so hard at 2 that one of them still hasn't come back. George RR Martin would have killed her for that, no messing.

All the zombies molten to the ground were    too. Seriously grim. And I hope they'll ease up on the flitting back & forth between different stories and times now, it was starting to get confusing.

[Ironwood]

But Rick was Guilty too.

RICK.

HE SHOULD FUCKING KNOW BETTER.  He should also have popped bald cop and I have no idea why Daryl stopped him.

Do these guys not REMEMBER kneeling down in front of a blood sink, waiting their turn ?  It's the kinda thing that would stick in my memory.

[apocrypha]

But he;s trying to GOOD PEOPLE CORAL. GOOD PEOPLE!!

[Ironwood]

Bob was Agent Sitwell ;  WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TRUST HYDRA

[Surlyboi]

Exactly. I was yelling at the TV, "he's Hydra!" As my wife rolled her eyes.

[Tannhauser]

[CmdrSlack]

But this episode had the return of CORAL!

I mean, that amounts for something, right?

I'm also hoping that we see the first case of tetanus. 

[Segoris]

For a pre-midseason-finale, the episode was okay. Far from great, but not bad overall and definitely not bad enough to take away from this being the 2nd best season so far (with only the first season being better imo). Yes, they need to stop trusting people but then the show would be over with basically them locking up somewhere starting a farm and we've seen how shitty that is for TV. Also,
Also, I still like the Beth story line. It's at least better than the people back at the church for now. I'm guessing that changes (hopefully with tetanus) but I don't know for sure.

[Cyrrex]

I am guessing that Cop dude is still a generally decent guy, which would explain why he didn't go further.  I guess we'll see.

And I don't think Rick is trying to do the right thing so much as Daryl is.  Daryl cockblocked him at least twice in that episode. 

I liked the episode quite a bit, despite point 2.

[HaemishM]

Rick is playing for survival, Daryl is trying to be a better man. As for the Sitwell, he wasn't trying to take down Rick's crew, merely trying to survive.

[Ironwood]

That's just your opinion, man.

[Segoris]

I get the cop may still be trying to be a good person and even only looking to survive/escape, but I just think that's just as dumb right now as anyone in Rick's crew showing them any trust

[HaemishM]

Well yeah, that's kind of been the point of the whole season. Are you strong or weak? Are you trusting (weak and stupid) or do you take the world as it is now (strong and hacky hacky time)?

[Surlyboi]

Mother. Fucker.

[Threash]

Well they didn't completely telegraph that or nothing.

[Surlyboi]

[Mithas]

Good episode again. While I think you could see things coming, I've seen the show enough times to have it leave a little doubt. I also thought the mid-season finale would leave more of a cliff-hanger than it ended up being.


Also,

[Threash]

If I'm not mistaken the Terminus guy talked about marking the trees in case they wanted to go back, then he was like "back to what? there is nothing left".

[Tannhauser]

Good half-season ender.  The show is staying strong and now Rick has come full circle to Shane-ness.  Just took him three more seasons.

[Segoris]

Great episode, and this is definitely the best season since the first season


edit: the couple on Talking Dead from NY, just wow
