Robert Kirkman said you should be worried about Glenn with a muhahahaha laugh in an article i saw....hmm

gang? did he find new ones? threesome right now..

Didn't he leave with 2 dudes...oy

Another good episode. Much better on the whole so far than last season. It seems the new showrunner has it back on the right track.

I can't say I care all that much. The Governor plot line really should have ended with last season and the one they have going in S4 is much more interesting so far.

But yes, I've read he's coming back at some point. Hopefully they use him more effectively than they did in S3, they should be able to.

Yeah, Rick put the pieces together from his knowledge about her emphasis on group survival (Carl told him about her secretly teaching the kids about weapons a few episodes ago), the smaller handprint, and her recent strange behavior.

when Ty was going apeshit on the zombie hoard I was hoping....

I actually mentioned that to my wife during that scene when said, "Well, Tyrese is dead." I think it did. Although...



... but I doubt it.

That would be awesome!

I’m guessing in the season finale he’ll reappear as a cliff hanger for the next season.

My bet's on mid-season finale.

hahahaha!
reminded me of this Seinfeld opening monologue on The Trip Part 2.

There are many different job in the police. It seems to me, that the chalk outline guy is one of the better jobs that you can get. You know it's not dangerous, the criminals are long gone, that seems like a good one. I don't know who they are, I guess they're people who wanted to be a sketch artists, but they couldn't draw too well..."listen Johnson, forget the sketches. Do you think if we left a dead body right there on the sidewalk, you could manage to trace around it? Could you do that?". I don't even know how it helps to solve the crime? You know, they look at the thing on the ground..."aah his arm was like that when he hit the pavement. That means the killer must've been Jim."

Cue The Who from CSI!!

:hmmm:

I don't think they can let that character sit that long. Michonne has been out looking for him, so they haven't totally dismissed the character yet.

AMC renews The Walking Dead for a fifth season

I don't know if this last episode was sponsored by Dodge or something but going out in a muscle car is kind of dumb. I wouldn't ever venture out without 4wd or, at least, AWD. You never know when you might have to go off-road to get around an obstruction on the road or when you might get stuck on a pile of zombies.

now that you mention it....did ya'll notice when they got stuck he seemingly just pushed the sunroof off the car? it was like he gave a push and jumped up and started shooting.

The black medic guy is my most disliked character now.

Agreed, something about that actor has always bugged me. Maybe it is all the roles he gets..

Though I wonder if he wanted out of the prison for a particular reason.

I was thinking the same thing.

I would want out, just because I would be less likely to get the "flu".

I've kinda been drifting away from this show for a while.

Just watched the first 3 episodes of this season last night (on demand), and I'm kinda getting hooked back in. Pretty good start, IMO.

The writing has been much better this season with the new showrunner, perhaps better than at any point in the show's history. Hope it keeps up.

Another good episode...ending surprised me a little

Very good episode. My prediction...



Anyone catch the signs at the gas station?

That's not a bad prediction. And no - what did they say?

I thought this episode was a little dull. There was a lot of stopping and talking and GET ON WITH IT, I thought.

The gas price sign used numbers to spell hell, 4 e 77 upside down, and there was a sign in the gas station, when they first went in, that said "Go Home Now".

Not sure if they mean anything but they caught my eye.

Yeah...the price sign was clear. As for the prediction I was thinking maybe but could be that the person is gone or possibly in a spinoff?

Spinoff maybe, but normally when a character is killed off they are on The Talking Dead set. All we got was a taped interview with the actress who plays Carol.

That was the best episode in a loooooong time.

AMC announced today that it has renewed The Walking Dead for a fifth season. The number one show on television among adults 18-49, The Walking Dead returned for a fourth season earlier this month and the premiere episode set a new record for the series, delivering 20.2 million viewers, live+3, and 13.2 million adults 18-49, a new record for any non-sports cable telecast.

“We are very happy to make what has to be one of the most anti-climactic renewal announcements ever: The Walking Dead is renewed for a fifth season,” said Charlie Collier, AMC president. “This is a show that has erased traditional distinctions between cable and broadcast. Its expanding base of passionate fans has grown every season, most recently — and most notably — with the season four premiere earlier this month, which broke viewership records for the series and became the biggest non-sports telecast in cable history. On behalf of the incredible team on both sides of the camera, thank you to the fans and here’s to more Dead.”[/QUOTE]

For Season 5, Scott Gimple will return as the series’ showrunner along with executive producers Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero and Tom Luse. AMC also recently announced that it is developing a companion series to The Walking Dead, based on a new story and new characters from Robert Kirkman.

:hmmm:

A spinoff featuring Carol?

I thought it was a dick move on Rick's part. She was starting to spin out but he should have let the council decide.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Carol has proven to be a capable group member who wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty or make hard choices. At the early onset of that flu no one had a clue that the infected ones might be able to be cured. Carol's actions have all been motivated by her desire to protect the group. I would have probably done the same thing myself. (Destroying and burning the changed ones)

At the same time she is making these tough decisions she sees Rick has insulated himself in his gardening and is shirking his duties as a strong leader; letting others do the necessary "fence killing", not getting the water pump hose unclogged at the time it needed to be, and just kind of being in a fog.

A surprise ending for that episode to say the least.

I predict we see a major character die in the next couple episodes...

Hmmm...possible but...

I can see that.

So Rick dumped Carol from the group just like that? That's kind of...dumb. Especially considering Rick has gone batshit crazy and come back and is still kind of slow in the head at times. Do you think Daryl is gonna be pissed

Probably, but right when it comes to a head a bunch of walkers will attack the prison and it will be forgotten, sort of like the radio signal Daryl's group picked up last week. You would think they would scan the radio again once they were back on the road.

Yeah think they'll eventually come back to that radio signal business?

Or the gigantic herd of walkers just a few miles from the prison?

The title of the episode was "Indifference." The difference between Carol's actions and any of Rick's was Rick was never indifferent to life. She'd turned into one of my favorite characters.

Yes, that will come back. This is leading to...



Yes. Prediction, this will be what drives them to find the spoiler above.

Yeah the character progression in the show is actually pretty good. I was watching season 1 this summer and was like, dang these people are so different than they are now. That's for everyone from Rick to Hershel to Daryl to Glenn to Carol.

Daryl is gonna be pissed that Rick sent Carol on her way. However, he and Michonne have been making goo goo eyes at each other lately, so will get over it.

Could you imagine what Merle would have said if Daryl and Michonne hooked up? LMAO

Merle died too soon imo.

I thought it was kind of dumb how they set it up with the guy and his bottle of booze. Why couldn't he have taken a bottle or two AND gotten a bunch of the medicines? He didn't because then there wouldn't be any drama of him "choosing alcohol over the well being of the group". Kinda forced.

I also disliked how they left that situation. I wasn't clear what the resolution was. Daryl took his gun away from him. Did he give it back? Daryl's anger seemed over the top as well... so the guy is a drunk. Merle was a complete and total drug addict who carried around bags of meth with him.

Maybe that's why Daryl is so angry; he saw that drugs & booze did to his brother.

Just a thought.

Daryl's anger was justified. The dumbass motioned toward his gun like he was going to pull it and Daryl stepped up and showed him who is boss.


I wish Daryl would have pulled a "Tombstone" and grabbed the dipshit's Beretta and beat him over the head with it.

It would be sweet if they bring the blonde "innocent" guy back, but have him changed to a man of complete evil.

Have him blame Rick and Carol for his girl's death, and take some revenge.

I kept expecting Daryl to push him off of the roof after he took the guy's gun.

He should have. That guy is a liability.

He is. But that's where I sort of have the problem with it. He shouldn't be as much of a liability as the show is painting him as. Yeah he's an alcoholic, but to make it so he had to take liquor over meds was unnecessary when he could have easily stocked up on both. Then nobody would really need to be mad at him for wanting to get drunk in a post apocalyptic zombie world. And for the guy to reach for his gun when Daryl was about to toss the bottle was just off. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of alcohol in this area. For someone who just 2 episodes prior was able to see an entire wall full of booze and pass on it but then defend one bottle like it's his baby is just weird to me.

I agree. The scene was off to me as well.

Except that it would have been totally out of character.

Daryl is #1 Alpha Dog with this group, but when he gets back to the prison he turns into Rick's little helper.


Hopefully Carol's exile will piss off Daryl and get some conflict going.

Daryl is an enforcer, not a leader, imo. I think he recognizes that about himself and probably comes from years of living in Merle's shadow.

ABSOLUTELY! hey Rick....why don't you kick your psycho son out too for shooting a surrendering kid in cold blood.

IMO.....it's a bitch of a world they live in and shit happens. I don't have a huge problem with what either of them did...Carl or Carol. I mean...it was pretty cold and all....but....it's also understandable.

Being an alcoholic is absolutely a liability in the zombie apocalypse. When you're impaired, you're not on point. Making you a liability. Hell, Tyrese was a liability due to nothing more than anger and frustration. Daryl's reaction was definitely justified.

The thing that got Daryl up into Bob's face was him threatening to draw his gun if Daryl thought about throwing the bottle.

Also, while the shelves are loaded with booze, the opportunities to get to those shelves are few and far between. Not to mention life threatening. The difference between him wanting the booze enough to draw on Daryl now, as opposed to when he set the bottle back down, is thathe now also has Zach's death on his hands. Whether or not you view it as his fault, he blames himself.

This season def is more interesting than the past...alot of wtf is gonna happen? questions

Wasn’t their father a physically abusive drunk? Pretty sure I remember a confrontation between them when Merle found the scars on Daryl’s back.

Or who has been baiting them in with rats?

Yeah I think you're right on that one.

Yeah...right now the main thing is getting those meds

One more thing about Rick kicking Carol out of the group.

If Rick was so upset about Carol killing two infected people that he had to kick them out, why was Rick so forgiving towards his son Carl when killed that kid at the end of last season?

I think that's what got him thinking about being a better human...

Holy shit. Fantastic episode so far. Carl's a ****ing boss.

Yes, on both counts.

Awe shit. Not sure how I feel about that ending. I've been very happy with this season and leaving that storyline behind. Other than that: possibly one of my top episodes of the series.

That was a great episode, Rick finally let Carl do something and he proved himself. Daryl is about to go apeshit on Rick though and he will go find Carol. The governor is a stupid thing to bring back in what was a good season so far. I personally like the survival aspect of this show more then the conflict between the governor and Ricks group. We will see how it goes good season so far though.

I'm now certain the Governor is the one feeding the walkers.

Exactly...this has been a great episode. Solid season so far

From inside the fence? I just can't see it.

No

Hope bringing the Governor back won't ruin what's been a very good (and probably the best) season of the TWD so far. I still wish that stale storyline had ended last season, but maybe he'll be better used this time. It would be a shame if he wasn't because this show is finally showing some real quality.

Yes. He's trying to get the walkers to topple the fence.

He could easily have a spot cut in the fence like the main group, wouldn't be that hard to find an area not watched much and go in at night, leading walkers to the fence, etc.

Uhh... I thought the rats were being fed to the walkers to inhibit the plague/flu.
