    That was all pretty bad ass. Good to see the toll that losing the prison and then being locked up by cannibals, not to mention losing countless members of their party, has taken on our group and how they're struggling to adapt to a somewhat civilized society...

    Poor Noah, though... Never start thinking about the Future though, rookie mistake on his part.

    And Go Eugene - reminded me of when Sam finally stepped up in Game Of Thrones.

    Everybody Eats Chris... :(

    Really enjoyed that one, some great action and a little bit of progression in the storyline too, only took five years but they're finally starting to get the balance right.

    Carol is playing a blinder in this new setting still, I'm loving her character more and more every episode. Hoping the scenario with Rick, Jessie and Pete will be resolved by the end of the next episode and introduce something cool for the finale! :)

    Nice to see a bit more of Abraham, I feel his character is being underused a bit...

    And Go Eugene!! :D

    It's looking like it's building towards the old order being completely overthrown by Rick and gang, with the building crew, the crew collecting supplies, and Rick/Carol with Gabriel's warning possibly hastening that along. It'll all blow up by series end anyhow (only 2 more eps :eek:) and hopefully not drag into season 6.

    Was a good episode, didnt find it as interesting as the last two. Will be interesting to see how what happened with glen and co pans out probably going lead rick grimes investigator episode, loved the part with the construction crew played out like what i remember from the comic. And dam that pack of walkers[spoilers][ sure did hate chris that death seen had me in stitches.] Also again still loving carol she's definitely one of my favorites from the show, i see the kid cracking her hard wall of murderous intent !!! I dont think Alexandria would have lasted this long if they were all as naive as those scavenger crews they had going out, the exiles must be have been more willing to do dirty **** out there, and i wouldnt be suprised if they turned out to be this wolf pack gang, and that the girl who was skipping out of town has been feeding them info etc.

    Very good episode and it allowed room for characters like Abraham and Eugene to breathe and settle in a bit. I dont get why the priest just turned on them though near the end, whats his motivation for that? He always struck me as a weak and cowardly man who would do anything to save his own worthless skin and him of all people should know what Rick etc are capable of and they seemed to just tolerate him as a tag-along when they could have easily put a bullet in him.

    Knowing that, the priest pretty much has exactly what he wants in Alexandria, he can shy away and be safe for the rest of his days. Why throw the cat amongst the pigeons?:confused:

    he is as much talking about himself as he is the others, he's destroying the situation so he doesn't have to be the community priest

    carol's pre-apocalypse life influencing her as much as her post-apocalypse life?

    Best episode in a long while!

    Normally when Daryl or Rick don't have much screen time I find the episode a bit boring and only an excuse to give the others more time but todays episode was very good. Liked how Eugene finally stepped up.

    It was a bit silly brining him in the first place though. Just incase they picked up the wrong things needed they will risk the only person there who can install it? I'm just nitpicking though.

    Finally I think we can all agree that Gabriel is some slimeball and I hope he gets his comeuppance!!

    Up pops a zombie out of nowhere like a Meerkat in the Serengeti and attacks what's her faces son.

    I swear to god, a deaf and blind man would have better tactical awareness than these characters.

    Noah got a group Oberyn Martell death from the zombies. the poor ole devil.

    Why didn't they just shoot Deanna's son in the head? It was clear he wasn't going to live anyway. It would have been kinder than the death he got. I couldn't hear what was said before he died - something about leaving someone behind?

    Eugene was brilliant in this episode. Finally, he grew a pair! Poor Noah - ouch. I rated this episode a 10. I can't wait for the finale!

    Think Deannas son said the people they talked about who died before, or "the others" as he called them (Lost crossover? :pac:) died only because they abandoned them and left them for dead, not because they didnt follow the orders like previously said the episode before.

    I may be wrong but thats what I got from it.

    Good episode. Set the tone for things to come but also had some shocking moments with some good action too. Thumbs up.

    On a separate note it's not been a good season to be a black actor on this show. Bob, Tyreese, and now Noah have all been eliminated.

    Neither could I.


    From what I've read online it was about the 4 scavengers who had died the month before. He admited it was his fault they died as he panicked rather than them not obeying orders as he'd said previously.

    They had previously told Glenn that they lost people because the people didn't follow orders while out scavenging; they panicked and broke formation and died. In this scene, he admitted the others had died because HE had panicked.

    That was superb, absolutely savage stuff. Didn't care too much for Aidan but christ almighty poor Noah got an awful death. And for Glenn to have to see it right in front of his eyes...that's bound to have a serious effect on him.

    I found Gabriel's 'betrayal' a bit odd. There was no sense that it was coming so when it did I just kept thinking why?? It will be interesting to see how Deanna reacts to the news about her son, having just been told what she was told by Gabriel. Surely she's got to think that Rick's gang are here to kill them all and take over the town.

    Love the way they've got Carol involved now in a conspiracy with Rick to kill Pete. You could see the murderous glint in his eye when Carol told him! And as a former victim of domestic abuse it's like the circle is complete again for her, only she's able to do something about it now...like encourage one of her friends to kill the wife-beater!

    After a great start to the season I think they messed up with the hospital storyline but they've turned it around again to something that's really engrossing. I almost hate to say it in case I jinx it but I'm expecting great things in these last episodes. And even though there's only two left it's kind of three seeing as the last one is a 90-minute blowout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,405 ✭✭✭shinny


    I think Jessie is the abuser and not Pete. You'd have to wonder why Sam wrecked his Mother's Owl thing. Also, maybe this is why he's clingy to Carol, he sees her as a mother figure because his own mother is not. I guess we'll see!

    I thought that was great, really gripping stuff. It'll be interesting to see how the auld one handles the death of her son. Hopefully she'll take it well and not blame Glen and Eugene. I know Glen punched the guy a few times but did they actually bring him back in the van or did they leave him there I wonder? I'm assuming they dumped him in the back, it'll be interesting to see what happens to him.

    You have no idea what makes a good tv episode do you?

    Anyway, I think this is my favourite episode of the season so far and it's definitely up there as one of my all time favourites. Firstly, did not see Noah dying. Normally you can kind of fore-tell these things are going to happen, I genuinely had absolutely no clue. He had an absolutely horrific death though and I'm not entirely sure if it was completely necessary either. Sometimes things can go too far for "shock value" and I think this was the case here too.

    Aidan shooting the grenade and it exploding is extremely plausible. He was using a rifle so the force, mixed with the heat a bullet generates could have exploded the grenade. Enjoyed how the effect wasn't just simply no-one got hurt as they weren't close enough to be, enjoyed how Aidan was thrown into the pipes and the girl was in serious trouble from it (even if I have no idea how it managed to blow off the door to the cage and not harm Noah, Glenn or Eugene and the other guy). Liked how Aidan admitted he was in the wrong about the other scavengers at the end, don't understand why they didn't shoot him though!

    Eugene was bad ass. He has shown, at times, that while he is a coward he cares for his group and will do anything for them. This isn't the first time he has saved her either (when the bus toppled over he saved her then too). Really enjoyed that character development! Other things were from the comics so was pretty happy!

    Also, the other question people have. The priest was extremely disturbed by what he saw happen. Not only did he find the act itself of the Cannibals being butchered awful but it was also because it happened in his church, the place that he had sacrificed almost his entire congregation to keep. Murdering anyone in "God's house" is a massive sin and Maggie referring to it as just "4 walls and a roof" probably annoyed him. Those things together is the reason why he told Diane they are not to be trusted.

    Anyway, really good show, 9 outta 10

    He saw the evidence of what the cannibals did to Bob himself and he still thinks killing them wasn't justified? I think he's just an asshole and he wants to get rid of the group because they know what he did.

    Well again, just one of the three points I made on this, the other two which you ignored... He already knows that there is no forgiveness for what he did. Also, it wasn't the fact they killed the cannibals, it was how they did so. It was shocking and barbaric to him so that's the reason he is trying to get them kicked out. You can try to argue it, but it's also in the comics and that's the justification so arguing against the point that's it's because of how they killed they hunters is just wrong.

    Ok so. Well I havent read the comics obviously. I wasn't arguing against anything you said, just more wondering how could he think it was wrong to kill the hunters, even the way they did, when he saw what they had done. Personally, I think there's a touch of wanting them out of the way so he can resume his priestly life with no one knowing what he really is. Is that allowed?

    Agree. Nothing to keep you feeling guilty than looking at people everyday who know what you did. Though I wonder is he just losing it completely also.... Like Lizzie , someone whose unhinged is massive danger in community. ..

    Interesting too the contrast between him and Eugene... Both ineffective against walkers, both fairly cowardly but Eugene is changing whereas the priest seems just lost.. At least Eugene has always thought about stuff and tried to achieve even just by manipulating ie when he got them to go back to tunnel end season 4, whereas Gabriel just seems to cause them trouble and for no reason that provides benefits to anyone other than himself.


    Hope Tara survives..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Jon Stark


    There's a curveball with Jesse and Pete alright, I thought Carol was a bit over eager in coming to her conclusion.

    Gabriel is a snake but he's not completely wrong about Rick and Co is he? Rick has already admitted to being willing to stage a coup by force, and it didn't take a whole lot to send Rick and Carol on a murderous path.

    If you rated that episode a '1/10' them you need to do two things.

    - Stop watching the Walking Dead.

    - Stop coming to this forum.

    I'm all for opinions and critical thinking, this show has been deserving of some slamming in the past, but if you have this episode rated at a 1, then I kindly would suggest that this series isn't for you anymore. It had a great mixture of character development and action, the balance was perfect. Carol as the Wolf in Sheep's clothing is great to watch. Even with no Daryl really, this episode gets two thumbs up from me due to everyone else pulling their weight on screen. 9/10.

    This! We can sit back & enjoy TWD as a great TV Show but as a character who is a Priest for all of this to have gone down?

    His "God" betrayed him by sending a plague of the Undead, he was tested & found to be too cowardly to help his own parishioners, he is "saved" by a pack of wildlings who are untrusting of everyone around them - he is simply a guilt ridden, faith tortured former believer struggling in a new World.

    He tore up the Bible, how many of those could be left hanging around his new Garden of Eden?

    Although hes got a new neck thingy after burning his own in, imo, an act of letting go of his faith, this new place & untainted people allow him to think he can have his Church back and a new beginning.

    His problem though is he has seen too much with Ricks Group that show him they are not worthy so to get back his faith he needs to turn them away - imo he was Cleaning House before he could consecrate his House of Worship.

    plus 1 on Tara

    Others have said it & I agree, think fab new Carol is projecting & wrong about who is the Abuser in Ricks girlfriends house - my money is on older boy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭dori_dormer


    Thought it was great like everyone said before. Only thing that annoyed me, and it's been said in other episodes and I said it during this one, why the heck didn't they kill the walkers behind the gate when they had a chance?

    I mean let one person stand there with a knife picking them off for 5 min while the others searched. It would make sense to me as noisy walkers attract more walkers.

    But then we'd be moaning if walkers came out of nowhere etc. I just hate when they don't do proactive /easy walker killing. This is how herds get worse. Ad people needlessly die! Ahh!

    Yep, I'm starting to wonder who the abuser in Jessie's house is too. Could her husband be trying to reach out to Rick for help? Or be continuously drunk to blot out what's going on at home? Or, well, maybe sometimes a duck is just a duck :)

    I would agree with others who say that they should just pick off walkers wherever they find them, without putting themselves in undue danger obviously. Every walker killed is one walker less to potentially kill someone else. If they could secure those fences in the warehouse, and spend a few days attracting various herds there, and then just calmly pick them off one by one with a knife on the end of a long stick, like they did back at the prison. Perhaps also dig a few deep pits and bury the bodies too, to prevent stinkage :) It's risky, especially if a large herd turns up, but every walker killed is a bonus if they want to rebuild some sort of society. It might seem futile when you compare how many walkers there are to how many survivors, but if other bands of survivors are doing the same thing, maybe eventually the tide might turn?

    And as for Noah's death: yikes. Poor Glenn. (well, poor Noah obviously, but Glenn had to watch the whole thing). Also, someone should have just shot Aiden as they ran off. It would have been a mercy killing.

    I have a technical query: I know survivors can probably scavenge enough gas/petrol to keep them going for a while, but doesn't petrol have a relatively short shelf life, like a year or so? This thing has been going on for almost two years (at a guess), shouldn't any petrol lying around in abandoned cars or storage tanks have lost its efficacy by now? Genuine question.

    Gabriels betrayal came out of nowhere. Really strange plot twist. I though he liked at least some of the group but he's damned them all. Also it seems like the show has a heavy turnover of Black characters already so I wouldn't be confident with Gabriel surviving after this!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,452 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    I think it's the woman if the house.


    When carol asked him why does he need to protect himself though he said 'it's not for me, it's for my mom'. That implies that it's his mother that needs protection, not that he wants to protect himself from her. It's obvious that the husband feels threatened by Rick too.

    I don't know, he is the only black male character as of now. Maybe he'll be safe. The danger zone is when there is 2 or 3. He'd definitely be a goner then!

    In fairness though, I hope Rick kills him but I'm thinking he might just be banished.

    I don't think he mentioned who he wanted the gun for though, I could be wrong but I thought he said he wanted a gun for 'someone' and when Carol asked him who, he ran off.

    Not saying that isn't a reason necessarily, but by trying to get the group kicked out he must know that they will say what he did at the church. He is doing it because he did not approve of how Rick and the others absolutely butchered the hunters. You have to remember, while the cannibals were bad people, they were at the groups mercy. They could have killed them by just shooting them in the head. Instead, they hacked them to pieces. The priest saw this and saw the deranged look on Rick's face while it was happening. It's dealt with a lot better in the comics.

    Agree completely. Its also quite funny that there are two ones and then the next lowest score is 6. Sad that people just want to knock the show all of the time because they had to sit through some bad episodes instead of appreciate what a great episode that was!

    Petrol doesn't go off perse but it does become less inclined to ignite the longer it sits in something like a car tank. That's why you see a lot of the cars stalling. Yes, it's also for dramatic effect but that's what would happen, the petrol would take longer to ignite to start the car.

    I'd class Noah and Tara as nothing characters in the first half of the season but I was sad to see Noah go, now I'm rooting for Tara to live.

    Silly by Gabriel, it's too late anyway for Diane to do anything. We'll probably see Diane stepping down and Maggie take over. Also hope he dies soon.

    As for Carol telling rick to kill the guy, is wife beating punishable by death? I don't think so. Hes also the only doctor too I think, not that that gives him a right to beat his wife just that it's something to think about.

    he's also drunk a lot which might reduce his value as a Dr ... think if any new Dr arrives he'll Def be gone. Funny way he keeps asking Rick to bring his kids in for chk up.... don't think that'll be happening...

    interesting tho re killing him for wife beating... what do u do with someone who behaves against group rules in their situation. Exile them and you're leaving dissatisfied enemy outside who knows lots about your defences... or one more walker. Morals aside you could see death penalty as being pretty attractive ...

    I don't think he mentioned who he wanted the gun for though, I could be wrong but I thought he said he wanted a gun for 'someone' and when Carol asked him who, he ran off.

    Actually I think you're right, he didn't say who needed it. I'd be surprised if the abuser was Jessie but I guess well just have to wait and see.

    It was a euphemism - he was heading into the bushes to take a dump :) hence him running back out doing up his trousers when the walkers stumbled upon him, so to speak.

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused by this :o

    I was thinking it could be a reference to a Cleveland Steamer. Google at your own risk!

    I thought it was a flashback for a second, then the penny dropped, so to speak. What a great phrase :)

    Asshole priest.

    Really enjoyed that episode and I think it's been the most consistently strong season to date.

    Nicely set up for a romper stomper final 2 episodes.

    I loved the nod to Day of the Dead with Aidan's death, the effects work for Noah's death was fantastic also. It's an awful pity that they have to resort to CGI gore for much of the kills, it just looks so cheap and out of place in comparison to the practical effects.
