View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes God I can't wait for him to show. the last few episodes have been really good. really liking the struggle the group is having with integrating into civilization. I predict ROTC boy dies with quickness |

The head lady (I forget her name) is trouble, obviously. She may not be as overtly evil as The Governor, but she's up to something. Either that, or she's so arrogant and over confident about her community's security that she'll end up getting all of her people killed when the SHTF. And I still think there's some sort of government agency angle to this community, there's some spooks amongst the citizens, IMHO.
Mr ROTC needs knocked down a few rungs. Glenn already did that a little, but I expect Abraham will sit the little college punk straight in a thorough manner in the near future. It was nice to see Rick and Carl bonding some more, it's something that has been strangely absent from recent episodes. And like somebody said above, I think that the girl that Carl was following is a mole for some other group. And I think things are going to get more interesting. The mystery behind this new community, the prospect of another group sizing this community up for a possible attack, Rick becoming a Cop again, and the last words Rick spoke in this episode, ect. |

The back to back Hollywood agenda episodes, first gays, now no guns for "safety" is pissing me off. Can't we just have story driven shows without the Hollywood bullshit agenda? View Quote Again, it's not Hollywood. Both of those situations happened on the comic. If anything, people should bitch about Kirkman, not the TV show. |

ROTC guy needs to be fragged... View Quote ROTC dude is Congresswomans son. He is a wannabe king, or at the very least prince. He is going to be the cause of much friction when people refuse to follow his dictates. Having followed and led for 20 years, no one worth a damn as a leader ever had to tell us "We had to follow their every utterance to the letter", thats weak sauce right there. Leaders lead. Pussys talk. |

It's highly likely that communities would have some b.s. "no guns" rule. It's all about control. I have no idea why Rick's group agreed to it, but finding a town or settlement where they had a rule like that doesn't surprise me at all. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Then Rick should have taken the town, if all the weapons were known to be locked up in one central place. How hard would that be? As for me, nope, no way I am turning in my weapons, not a single glimmer of a hope of such a thing happening. Precedent would immediately be set. |

I agree Carol played it well by playing the helpless dumb housewife and the addition of Ricks comments at the end were great.
Loaner girl is a spy with the wolf comic book. ROTC boy is going to die in some horrific way. |
|
I think the Congress critter exiled her husband. The girl definitely took the glock. I think either she has family outside the wall or is part of another group. The scene with Rick and the hottie's husband, was that a dream? He woke up right after.

Anyone notice that Michonne in her taped interview with the congresswoman, had a copy of Crime without Punishment on her lap?
Seems rather appropo. |
|
It's amazing how a once useless character, Carol, has become so important to the group and one of my favorites. Well done on downplaying her badassness.
ROTC bitch boy needs killin. |

Just my opinion but so far this season is bore fest.. The whole Alexandria community just pisses me off, especially after demanding disarmament. Also their retarded supported from the outside walls is some serious WTF?

I think the Congress critter is going to use Sasha as an assassin against another group, maybe people she exiled.

Quoted:
I agree it is too large to be defensible with the people they have. Building a smaller fortification in the centre would definitely be a better idea to start, and it could eventually serve as the citadel for the larger fortified town once it got to that point, which would be useful not only for external defence in the case of a breach, but also for internal defence if there is an outbreak or some other issue within the walls. Once you get to the larger fortification, though, it needs to be done right. The compound as shown might be alright for zombies, but it wouldn't hold up to any serious attack by living people. Too easily breached, no way to defend it with direct fire at most points, and no means (such as bastions or caponiers) to cover the perimeter with enfilade fire. Observation in general seems to be an issue. But again, it sounds like the designer is a completely civilian architect, as opposed to a military engineer or someone else with knowledge of military engineering and security.

... It's not well designed, but it's not like the Congresswoman's husband was a military engineer. I would have applied Vauban's principles to the perimeter and made it so that there is no point on the outside of the walls that cannot be covered by fire from some other part of the perimeter along with multiple lines of defence (although there are not enough people to fully man such defenses as far as I can tell) including a ditch adjacent to the scarp wall and maybe some outworks. I would not have disarmed anyone, of course. I do think that there is a strong Leftist mentality going on in the community to include misguided ideas about the role of arms in society and also means to controul the populace. Of course, I'm inherently suspicious of any gun controul scheme. i don't think any engineering is required to address the most fundamental problem--too much space, and not enough personnel to control it. i mean, i think you're right WRT vauban corners, but i see that as a downstream problem. i want a small central compound, the whole perimeter of which i can keep under fire/observation even with only a few people. in the beginning, you can do that with stuff like dumpsters, telephone poles, plywood, and highway signs. then an open killing field around it so that no one can get to the wall without being seen and shot at. only then would i mess with more involved fortifications that gain more space. i agree about the generally liberal mentality. the wall will protect us, so we don't have to deal with the responsibility of protecting ourselves. we can just hide, and any problem will go away. big mamma will tell us when we should go break out the big-boy toys, which are icky and bad and can't be trusted.

But again, it sounds like the designer is a completely civilian architect, as opposed to a military engineer or someone else with knowledge of military engineering and security. IIRC from the comics, one of the major tasks that Rick's group completes in Alexandria is fortifying and improving the wall. The wall as currently implemented is a joke that's barely adequate for protection against zombies, much less people. But it's enough to make people who haven't seen what the world outside their walls really harbors comfortable. Now that a group who has well and truly seen some shit is there, it will necessarily have to be improved. Note Rick's longing look at the bell tower. I assure you that he's not just looking at it from the perspective of a man who hasn't been to church in a while. He's looking at tactical advantages that might exist in the Safe Zone that would aid in defense. |

Tovah Feldshuh. That's a heavy hitter right there. So she'll be around at least the rest of this season. Teen girl is a love interest for Carl, she'll betray him and everyone somehow. But not before coming between Carl and Rick. Carl will stab her in her skull. Alexandria somehow gave me a Stepford Wives vibe. Something is deeply fucked up there. In a secure location like that why not just man the walls and make noise to call the walkers and pop 'em off until there aren't any more? View Quote Negative pressure principle Rick alluded to. You call the zombies which start making noise which attracts other zombies which goes further and further out depending on density. In essence, the same way that molecules will fill a void, the closer molecules will quickly come but they will be followed by others further out at a slower pace. Either way, you get walkers. |

will Darryly be next go go ! Some of the other forums have suggested he's gone. In the teaser that shows him surrounded so maybe. Another one suggested that he is involved in a lot of other projects. It's not uncommon for actors of series to be involved in as many outside projects as they can while they're hot. And still remain in a series . so I'm not sure. I don't read the comics or the spoilers but I realize someone's gonna get it and it might be him by..

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I though tonight's episode was good. The characters need some time to become human again and decompress, some R&R if you will. They seem to need to readjust a little. I thought the giving up you guns thing was a load of crap. I noticed they kept their knives and Daryl kept his crossbow. I get the impression these folks in the down might have survived but not by really fighting for it, yet. Most of them seem very unprepared for the new way of the world. Ricks group is measuring them to see who joins them when they take over, not the other way around PS: Daryl does need to clean his nasty ass up and get the hottie to cut his hair. 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. guys in the bar, and the leader and Rick had a little chat. Rick picked up on it immediately. That episode (Nebraska) is 1 of my favorites. Maybe because it was the introduction of the real threat of humans and coming to the realization of having to kill them in self defense or maybe it was just watching Rick be a badass gunfighter while Glenn and Hershal sat there shocked at what happened. |

Who took Rick's Glock? My guess is someone from Alexandria was following them, other than Aaron and the other guy. My guess is the young girl who snuck out of the compound. Carl was following her and remember how fast he showed up where Rick was after losing her? She is sneaking out and hanging around that area possibly leaving a stash of supplies pilfered from Alexandria for her future use or leaving notes / meeting with someone bad about the goings on there. Last nights episode left open a lot of possibilities. A lot of suspense building. |

The girl may have been out there. When Rick Hide the gun .It's not the first time she's gone over the fence so it's very likely she saw him put it there and took it! |

Holy shit mr ivy league rotc fag is the stereotypical boot officer. Dude needs his shit pushed in.
I wonder if badass PLs ever get pissed about how they are always portrayed on TV. |

Just curious...
I've been watching it from the beginning. We've been through several seasons now. The baby is getting older. We watched Carl grow up some. I don't recall there being any winter??? They always seem to be hot and sweaty. It would seem to me a few days of sub freezing temps would be good. There would be lots of zombie pop-sickles standing around. And...There is no way I would consent to disarming. In their world, zombies are the #2 threat. Other people are #1. As we've seen, that wall might slow / stop the zombies, but that little teenage girl seems to slide over it at will. One would assume anyone else could as well. Of course, as we've seen in the past, there has to be more to this little community than meets the eye. I look forward to the next episode.. |

View Quote If they wanted the best of both worlds, the producers/writers could leave Darryl in a Butch and Sundance type situation and not show the resolution/leave his fate unknown for now. Then he could go off and pursue other projects with the option (for him and them) for him to reappear suddenly at a dramatic point in the future. Much smarter than killing him off, IMO, as it would generate major buzz/drive fans nuts with speculation until eventually resolved. But what do I know?... |
