The baby needs to go. And same with the one on Archer. No babies. View Quote I think they should had let the baby be killed off also. They could have just left the empty baby seat and left it to the imagination if she got ate or someone else carried her off. I don't think the show is going to be tv long enough to have the Judith turn into any type of viable character other than crying at bad moments unless they're going to do some year/two year later time jumps. |

How about the Wolf comic book Carl found in the attic. A bit of a reference to the Wolf group that attacked that neighborhood, where the zombies were all hacked into just torsos. That Congress woman is psyching Rick into separating from his group and maybe exiling the members she doesn't want to keep around, def Daryl, but potentially anyone other than Rick and Michonne. I'm thinking Rick and some of his group's "job" might be procreation of more babies too. That would have to be part of a "sustainment plan". Only the most viable offspring would be allowed, resources are limited. That might explain why all the guys in Alexandria are so butt hurt with the new men in town lol. LOL with Carol's video taped interview "Junior league" and that homely sweater! LOL with the "ROTC" guy and "I'll show you guys the ropes outside the walls, see how you do". What an idiot! and...this former Congress woman might make the psycho-governor look like a girl scout. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead had a comic book called "The Astounding Wolf-Man" so I just Carl was going to turn it over and show that was what he was reading as a little nod to the fans but no dice. Then again Kirkman also wrote a comic called Battle Pope. Quoted:

She said "Starting in the low 800K" which is what all of those signs say in front of any new housing development "Blowhard Estates! Homes Available now. Starting in the low 200's!" to mean like 230 or whatever.. |

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.

It would be a lot easier to go through the flimsy wall directly than try to saw through the solid steel that those support braces are likely made of with a Harbor Freight hacksaw. It would also be a lot easier to just use bolt cutters on the gate fencing. From an engineering perspective, it's about the best possible way to design supports in a post-zombie world. The current residents may just have got lucky that the non-engineer architect designed the fence from an aesthetic and functional POV, but it turned out to be a much better design for walkers instead of real humans. Certainly, the possibility exists that there is a deeper reason of why the braces are placed on the exterior.

I know I would, Unless its purpose was to protect me from hordes of zombies who want to eat my brains. I mean, its common sense to want to protect the foundation of any structure. I mean, braces are their to support the structure. If a horde of zombie put pressure on the braces, the braces could be pushed down. Which would leave the wall unsupported. I mean, you could be absolutely right, it could of been an aesthetic choice. The designer of them was an architect. When designing something for a home or building aesthetic is very important. If you want people to enjoy the aesthetic of their compound it would seem that braces on the exterior make a lot of sense. Not only for aesthetic but for purpose against zombies as well as mentioned earlier in terms of tensional vs compressional forces. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
