Thought you were trying to jump the shark twice in one post.

All I thought of was this.....

 

[calsnowskier]

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 just watched the beginning of 1.3 again (where Rick and company first get to the camp) and they focus on Ed, Sophia and Carol that night as Ed gets all pissy about making a bigger fire. Daryl is still out on a hunt at this point, so we have not met him yet.

... Korean BBQ !!!

I almost choked on some food I laughed so hard. Well played, Jstew. Hahaha.

Not only that, but the Wolves attack in last weeks episode (JSS) was led by the same guy Morgan confronted in the Season 5 finale. (Conquer)

So Morgan let them go - twice. Each time he did, he put the rest of the group at risk. If he would have killed the two guys last season, the Wolves attack wouldn't have happened, and Rick's plan to lead the herd away fro Alexandria would have succeeded. And none of the deaths in the past two weeks would have happened.

He better get it together.

Hard to blame him a ton on the S5 finale one. Woulda been pretty cold blooded and he obviously tries to avoid violence and had no idea what those two lunatics were capable of.

During the Alexandria rampage however, it was time to put the big boy pants on and see that there are times to kill and that was one of them. He fucked up there.

While I basically agree, I think you can still call Morgan a pansy for not offing the guys in 5.16. They ambushed him and fully intended to kill him. In the post-za world, that deserves a death sentence. He should have killed them just so that he could sleep easier tomorrow night, knowing they were not out there ready to take him down again.

But to blame him for the attack on the ASZ, I think, is a reach. Just because the two guys he spared were part of the attack does not a) mean they were leading it, or b) mean the wolves would not have attacked anyway. The wolves found ASZ because of Aaron's bag, not because of Morgan.

Didn't Aaron's bag just contain photos of Alexandria? I'm not sure a photograph of a place is enough by itself to locate it?

Reminds me of the scene in Dumb and Dumber, where the bartender tells Lloyd that Mary's house is the big place up on the hill.

"Big place? Hill? Got it!"

I assumed there was a sign or something in one of the pics, and they could then find the place on a map.

Looks like somebody got an eRicktion this week...

 

[jstewismybastardson]

so ive read that "a new guy" gets introduced in the season finale ... so he's the leader of the wolves ?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

oh btw ... tangent ... but Emily Kinney (Beth) now plays a nurse in the Knick

shes in a scene where a doctor has just purchased a new "movie picture machine" in turn of the century new york and proceeds to film what could be the first homemade pron

after getting her drunk of course

 

[Comeds]

New guy? I hope he is introduced in a 90 minute episode that deals entirely with his back story!

 

[juliansteed]

I actually think I might be the only one that kind of likes that Spencer character. He wasn't really relevant last season but I like that he's not over the top heroic, but not over the top douche bag or villain either. He seems to want what's best for Alexandria. He just wants what's best for himself a little bit more.

Not sure I agree. I think he showed himself to be plenty douche baggy. He used his family position in the town to act the super hypocrite. I like the turn in him (much more in line with his comic version), but I don't really like the way it came out of left field. No hints about this from him prior to this episode.




Pre-post edit:

After writing that, it hit me. It might actually be decent writing the way he turned. He did not go DB in public. He only went DB in the privacy of his home, with his mother. He still has a solid external face for the town.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Joins Walking Dead Cast as... Infamous Villain Negan!

 

[puckhead]

OK, who was the last "help" on the radio?

- non-zombie Glenn
- the peeps who jacked Daryl's ride
- another random trap
- just some poor lonely souls who need help and happen to be on the same band.

 

[calsnowskier]

That dude HAD to be Dwight.

Amirite?

Take it to the book thread, people... those of us who haven't read them don't know who these people are or that certain characters are good or villains. This thread is for discussing the episodes that have happened. If you aren't sure, at least put it in white font.


Also, this season is boring me. Very little has happened so far. Reminds me a lot of the half season where they spent every episode looking for Carol's daughter.

That's just because we haven't gotten to the part where Morgan Freeman shows up in a hazmat suit and kills all the zombies and Wolves with...

Sorry, this was meant for the book thread.
