First, Gene is Korean.

Second, the name stuck because someone who shall remain nameless (Aimless) accidentally called Glenn Gene. If I had to guess, this happened about 80 pages ago.

ETA: I actually think this happened in a previous WD thread.

Yes.

Also, at 1:25 in, Carol is with the group, as is the smokin' hot Rosita Espinosa. They've not previously met.

At 3:20, it looks like Rick has his python back.

5:30-ish, Beth appears to be in a place that looks like a hospital with electrical power and cops carrying radios. DC maybe?

Looks good.

I don't know if I changed it or something but the video that came up for me was not the trailer.  I did watch the official Comic-Con trailer for TWD and a warning for the non spoiler types they pretty much spoil an entire storyline in the trailer.  I would NOT recommend that trailer for anyone who really tries to stay spoiler free.  I am not generally that type but I really wish I had not watched it.

I think the Gene reference goes all the way back to the Season 1 thread, I think it was around the time he barreled out of Atlanta and into camp in the Dodge Challenger with the alarm blaring.

Looks like the line "they're screwing with the wrong people" should have applied to the people of Terminus. They seem to have their act together controlling outsiders.

So the storyline has them becoming the Terminus people's bitches????....at least in order to survive, buy time, and not become what's for dinner tonight. The season preview seems to  suggest rick and company eventually gain the upper hand.

  The checking for weapons and then giving them back makes perfect sense.
You give the weapons back so that the prey doesn't have its guard up.

But you know what they've got so when you've got them covered by multiple rifles from an elevated position, you can tell that they're totally disarming when ordered to do so.

It does indeed make perfect sense from the badguy's perspective.  But I can't think of one non-badguy reason to do that, and thus even more red flags should have been going off in Rick's head.

I would watch at least one episode that featured such evaluations...as long as the writers don't make it retarded.

Maybe it's just because it's after midnight, but I do not understand the bold parts of that story at all.  Perhaps I'd get it if this "session" thing were explained...

I *think* some stations are set up so that the pump won't start pumping unless it is authorized via electronic signal by the clerk inside the store (pump-clerk connection).  The clerk at this station was having some problems with that signal.  "Session" is the transaction period in which the customer unhooks the pump, the clerk authorizes the transaction, the fuel is pumped and then the pump is turned off, resetting it for the next customer/session.  Since the pump was malfunctioning, the second guy in line asked the first guy in line to not hang up the pump when he (first guy) was done.  Second guy just wanted to take first guy's money and pay for both purchases as one, just in case the pump decided to break down completely after first guy's session.

That was my interpretation, anyways - hope I didn't make it worse.

Thing is, they've never had to take the leadership role, as in the leader of the whole group. At times they had to make some decisions, but not in the ongoing manner that Rick has had to. At least that's my opinion.

Episode 14, The Grove, was the best ever show in the series for me.

that's a good point, but that's the one area where rick is expected to do well.  he did great when originally faced with the remaining inmates at the prison, also.  but his LEO experience had prepared him for exactly that kind of situation--IMO most civilians would have been hesitant there.  he also made the right call about caching the guns before going into terminus.  in all 3 cases, however, he didn't bring anything to the table that shane wouldn't have.




i think some of it is a storytelling problem on the part of the writers.  originally, rick was positioned in the middle between shane (survival drive) and dale (moral compass).  that's right where a leader should be.  but his character is kind of wandering around the map, so to speak, and so his calls are almost always questionable.  that's fine from a series perspective, but his character is written so inconsistently that we don't get a good feeling for why he is so personally inconsistent.




basically, he has no discernable code.  and that's bad stuff for a leader.

Haven't got a clue, but the teaser looked pretty good.
