Now you two kiss and make up.

This was a good episode.

Those braces, if anchored, would be in tension, much stronger than in compression when the walker hoard starts pushing on the fence.  The wood braces on the prison fence buckled.  

Mentioning the husband was an architect ensures the braces are not anchored.  

Well we all know that the show doesn't end with them all living happily ever after here so maybe this is on purpose.
They only built it to keep out walkers but not a group that has the time to sneak up & take a section of it apart.
Or maybe the writers also don't know the difference & the walkers are going to push the fence over - whichever.

I think the people in the compound have "recruited' Rick's group as fighters to help battle a known outside threat.

Whatever you say Gene.

I also think she's the 1 who took the Glock out of the blender. I bet she saw Rick hide it.
Reason being is how fast Carl showed up to Rick when he was following and lost her.

It means they have more characters than show time and plot points per week.

 

If they DID show him, people would be pissed they wasted the air time showing a guy sniveling around doing nothing.

I think the hair cutting hottie likes Rick.
When the guy sitting on the porch in the dark  smoking called out to Rick and said that was his wife led me to believe there's something going to happen there.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Daryl leave the community and go out on his own for a while.

Daryl isn't dying. In fact I bet Rick will / would die before Daryl.
Daryl is their most marketable character and is making them a ton of money. He is the only character where there are tshirts and stuff of him around here in stores like Academy. I can't see them killing off a money making machine.

And these 'Saviors' would be what, a spoiler?  Or did I miss something in one of the previous episodes?
 

Rick and Michone aren't dying either..... IF a major character is getting offed it's gonna be Gene with Negan's Lucille. Abraham, Gene, Noah, and Tara are on my list of next to go.

I don't believe she was talking about the community being built specifically for the Apocolyse. She was telling him that's what it cost to buy a home there pre apocolyse and was using that to explain why it was already set up off the grid with solar, wells, etc.

That was my understanding.

Good morning everyone... Sweet ass biscuits!

Only the name is a spoiler but they are the group on the radio and the ones who cut Noah's community members in half, leaving marks on their foreheads, they gained entry through a gate in the back of that community, ripped it off and slaughtered. The girl very well could be gaining Intel for them and Carl is on to her.

I wouldn't have went until they gave me my long gun back also. Screw just a pistol.
And whats with Noah being part of that group? He's crippled. Bad choice. Daryl should be in there.
It should be Glen, Daryl and Abraham.

the whole point of the supply run was to see who would fall in line and who wouldnt.

They view rick as the useful idiot, hence assigning him constable. They think carol is pliable so she has a spot.

They know darryl is a trouble maker, they need to evaluate the rest.

Carol is the only one winning this game.  rick is in second.

You got Newgene's name wrong.

If that happened it would have been too much for the tough guy to handle.  Abraham and Daryl would have called him out on his BS right from the get go. The power struggle piece would be non existent almost immediately.  






 

I agree
I think their "scouts" have seen them in their treks outside the community.
And the fence issue being a main topic is how I believe this community is going to fall.
Some big trucks are going to show up, hook chains around a few braces and breach the perimeter.
Going to be the group that took down Noah's old neighborhood.
The wolves?

FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!

So when Coral heard someone upstairs and went to check it out, the comic book he found had something about wolves in the back cover.

And then we find out that comic belonged to Enid.

The Congressional Rep is clearly a liberal, but I find it hard to believe even a liberal in the Zombie Apocalypse wouldn't have something up her sleeve in the event that Rick and/or members of his group became seditious.

Intelligence has to be collected. Loyalty and focus of Rick's group has to be reinforced. The Congressional Rep will attempt to split the group and divide their loyalties. As the Congressional Rep claims to be a good judge of people than I suspect she will be very effective at splitting the group up and Rick needs to counter that from the get-go. Then a plan needs to be formulated for how to seize the largest group of community residents at once while simultaneously seizing the armory and protecting the security gates. I'd put a two week time operational time-frame on it. Start dividing up intelligence and planning responsibilities to the group.  It's VERY clear that either Rick takes this community or eventually it will be overrun by walkers or an outside group.

Once I took control I'd definitely improve communications.  They have electricity so they should be able to have radios and the ability to charge batteries. They should also have a CCTV network and a centralized command post. The "let's disarm everyone" policy is absurd and at a minimum personal weapons should be allow with the residents with the heavier crew served weapons and large sums of ammunition held in their armory and allocated for the community wall security.  Construction of vehicle barricades and the clearing of the perimeter needs to be done. Any buildings, trees, or anything else outside 2000 yards of the perimeter needs to be cut, burned, and otherwise taken down.  They also needs to gun emplacements along the perimeter and a watch tower. Patrols should be more than just looking for food, because they need to be able to ID any survivor groups or herds moving on their location.  With electricity they could get small drones with 20 minute flight times that could give them good aerial views of their surrounding.  Also, they need to ID key road and block those roads to heavily with dead vehicles to make them impassable. Keep some backgrounds open for your own people.  Uniforms to identification of Friend or Foe in the event that the perimeter is penetrated along with community training and security drills would have to be implemented as well. Also, armored vehicles and lighter ATV vehicles along with dirt bikes need to be procured. Farming equipment and fertilizers and pesticides need to be procured.  As much medical supplies as possible need to be procured.

You should put spoiler tags around another one of your post. You're saying stuff thats in the comics and not everyone here has read them.
Doesn't mean the show would follow the comics but still needs a spoiler tag

Oh ok.
So that was her in the window. I was wondering who that was or if Carl was just seeing an apparition.
So are the Saviors who most likely destroyed Noah's old neighborhood? I thought it was a group referred to as the wolves.
Never read the comics and don't read spoilers so lots of unknowns to me as I watch this and try to predict what's going to happen.

They also need an Alamo position like a Castle's Keep and an underground escape tunnel wouldn't be that bad of an idea either with some supplies and weapon staged for evacuation if it becomes necessary.  One thing I hope Rick has learned is that he needs a better exit strategy should he lose his position again to a larger force.

I agree.
Out of all the "original" characters I think Glenn is next.
In fact I thought he was a goner last week when he dam near got bit.
In he died Maggie would probably off herself after losing everyone she ever cared about.

 
Very plausible. However, why wouldn't Mrs. Congresslady assign them all jobs guarding the wire?

FIXED.

Makes sense.
Part about Daryl is maybe why we saw the preview for next week where it appears (Aaron ?) shoots him?
They may be trying to get rid of him since he's deemed a threat.
Interesting.

I think Maggie would find the strength to rise from her grief and establish herself as a leader of a community that is allies with Rick's community.

Has anyone else noticed the baseball bat scenes with Glenn? The one in Terminus when he is bound and gagged, closes his eyes, and boom! Saved.

Then in Noah's community he picks up a Louisville slugger and uses it to beat on some zombies but stares at it for a sec. Foreshadowing?

Your definitely invited to be in my group when the Apocolyse comes.

I think they are just plain ignorant to the need. I get the impression they haven't really dealt with any outside threats.
She mentioned that most of the state was evacuated early. Then she was directed there by the military.
The members we have seen outside the wire don't appear to know how to deal with walkers. The scout who recruited them (Aaron?) panicked in the car when the zombie herd attacked and those 2 guys last night were playing with fire with that 1 walker and were whistling loud to find him. Some serious wtf going on.
That was also apparent when there wasn't a guard tower on the main gate when ricks group arrived.
Thats why she keeps saying they need them. She realizes she needs an army but the other residents don't seem to realize that and I think it's simply because of having been cut off from the reality of whats really happening out there.
She may have picked up on this during her interviews with select people and is not sharing it with the whole community to keep panic to a minimum.

 
If TWD did all that stuff, we'd be watching the most bring show on TV because nothing would ever happen, ever. But yeah, Silent is on-point.


 

Just that little conversation had as much implied in it as the conversation back during the farm where Rick, Hershel, and Glenn ran into those two

 

guys in the bar, and the leader and Rick had a little chat.  Rick picked up on it immediately.

Some think the young girl was a spy and it's very possible. But I'm thinking she's one of the few in the compound that have lived on the outside. The others were brought in from the very start of the crisis and of live there the entire time. She's aware of how things work outside and she's uncomfortable with the lack of security. She maybe stashing were fortifying a small area for itself. Kinda like Rick hiding the gun she realizes how people are and doesn't trust anybody until they proven themselves just like Rics group. . I'm thinking she may become a new member of the group.





Testing naturally speaking for iPad it sucks

This is what I'm thinking too.. She's sneaking out to relay to her group.

I agree 100% She was sent by Click To View Spoiler

Yes it will be interesting. I dont read the comics, but Darryls saving grace and biggest fault is his comfort level with being out in the woods alone surrounded by walkers. he is definately a bad ass, but is too honest.  carol is a badass, but a cunning one.  

the safe zone is all about control.  if rick cant control everyone in his group, and then be controlled by the congress critter, then they are definately out.  

there is no other logical reason for selecting the three that they did for the supply run, and then making sure they werent properly armed.

The group is becoming over confident.  they knew the alexandria crew monitored their discussions before approaching them.  there is no reason to suspect they arent now.  i would have started talking in simple code, while pretending to be submissive to the alexandria leaders.  Everyones job from this point on should be to fit in and collect counter intelligence.  every should be report, preferably by writing (which is subsequently destroyed).

If Daryl dies we riot.
