OT: The Walking Dead - BEWARE OF SPOILERS

[Puck082]

I liked it a lot. I was worried at first with the b&w and time jumps but they kept it together and interesting.

Totally agree. The episode had an entirely different feel to it than prior seasons. Not sure if that was just a one episode thing or if it'll be all season long. I can't imagine they'll keep that up though.....

I don't think Carl's going anywhere.

So the horn......the Wolves?

That's my guess. They are probably aware of the quary, so they know what the plan is. Since they were coming for Alexandria anyway (they have Aaron's bag/pictures), they are using the plan to create a stampede.

My guess as well. Almost seems too obvious though and I have a tendency to speculate that it might be something less obvious.

I think we saw Enid get into a car in scenes from next week. I kind of think she might have something to do with the honking, whether it be intentional or not. Wasn't there some speculation last season that she might have something to do with the Wolves?

Interesting take fosho

I like that every time Morgan sees Rick, Rick's killing another mofo.
Seems like a bit of an odd plan to release a gazillion walkers, but I guess it sets up the season.

A few tossed Molotov cocktails would have been a much cleaner and quicker plan.

This was one of those Walking Dead episodes that drives me fucking batty. I generally have little issue suspending my disbelief, but this plan AND execution were utterly absurd.

So they acknowledged this pit was part of what made the town they're all in safe. And Rick proposes getting them all out and leading them to... where? The zombies in this show can't climb or solve problems but their sheer mass/force can collapse walls, and yet they NEVER dig ditches and are ALWAYS using walls. So for starters, I have an easy plan that would be better than their plan...



^See the access road behind the trucks. Did a ditch about 6-feet deep and 6-feet wide across that road behind the trucks angled deeper towards the pit. It's the only way into and out of the quarry and the zombies would fall in and then wander towards the sound back in the quarry and fall back into it. If it makes you feel better, build a kick ass wall on the other side of the ditch just to make sure they can't reach the other side in case zombies learn to long jump or they start a ladder building club in the quarry. Hell, after the temp ditch/wall is in place, slowly collapse/dig away the entire access road behind it.

It would easily be faster to dig this ditch than it was to build that temporary wall and move all those cars. Especially since Glenn and friends were killing zombies at a fucking backhoe rental place in the episode!!! And they should have had this in their mind already because they were JUST DIGGING!!!!


The first two minutes of the episode were intriguing as hell! I was confused/intrigued about what was going on and the visual was incredible in and of itself. After that, I just couldn't stop thinking 'now why are they doing THAT?!?' the whole time.

Positives:
-Nice to see the bassist from That Thing You Do is still getting acting work (albeit not long stints obviously).
-Rosita is hot.

Also, made this...

imo its 6 of one ... half dozen of the other

digging a ditch would work about as well as a wall ... eventually the walkers bodies fill the ditch to ground level and other walkers follow along top and trample the others below kinda like world war z (even though those zombies from Jerusalem were more athletic - lol)



using the heavy machinery/earth movers sounds like a good idea BUT those LOUD machines so close to the herd would draw them all to the work zone





/ they have to get an ammunition production facility up and running

Wow! So now there are only 3 surviving members of the original group? Is that right?

I wonder if Tara is going to make a move on Maggie now. Maggie can't seem to catch a break.

4. I had forgotten about Daryl. I knew there had to be at least 1 more. Not counting Morgan since he only appeared in the pilot and wasn't part of the group until this season.

He is technically the second senior character at this point. And the just "killed" the third senior character.

Who did we meet first? Carol or Daryl? I know technically we saw Lori, Shane, Carl, Dale and a few others in 1.1, but I don't really count it until Rick got to camp.

Probably Carol but not sure. I remember when Rick got to camp Daryl was off hunting, because they warned Rick about how Merle's brother wasn't going to be happy to find out he was left behind.

I was thinking this, but Carol was ambiance at the time. Not sure if they made any point at all of showing her.

Anyway, seniority right goes something like this...

Rick
Morgan
Glenn (??)
Carl
Daryl/Carol
Maggie
Michone
Judith
Sasha
Tara
Abraham/Rosita/Eugene
Gabriel
Aaron
Eric
Rest of Alexandria

I just realized that either Eugene does not know how to count or he does not count Judith or Gabriel as part of their group. He told Heath their were 13 in his group (counting Noah). This list shows 14 counting Glenn but not counting Morgan (Eugene would understandably not count Morgan).

I'm sure Glen was under Nicky and scooted under the dumpster as Nickyvwas being devoured. No production staff on the post game show and no witnesses to his death have me convinced he lives.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

how many episodes until we discover Glenn is still alive?

 

[Jared]

I'm sure Glen was under Nicky and scooted under the dumpster as Nickyvwas being devoured. No production staff on the post game show and no witnesses to his death have me convinced he lives.

I am weighing my desire for Glenn to be alive against my fear that this will be the beginning of this show jumping the shark if he is.
