I don't like the sound of that

Gonna watch it in an hour when I get off work.

It was always going to be an anti-climax after the fantastic season opener
But yeah nowhere near as good as last week

That being said there were still a lot good things in there

Glad to see the Termites back so quickly and they didn't hang about messing
up Young Bob

In reality you would have to expect that the group would want to take a breather after the mayhem that just went down at Terminus

i liked it. it had to slow down a bit at some point but my god still some mad **** going down :eek:

Good episode.

You'll always get people that will complain but you simply can't have 16 episodes like the opener.

Very slow episode, a lot of What they do just doesn't make sense.

poor Bob, a character I was warning to

, but how did they know his/her name at the end, maybe he was a part of that group before?

Normal service resumed. The only way was down after last week's cracker.

Thought it was a good episode. Kept the story going nicely.

Okay, so while it was a bit of a slowdown, it was nowhere near the slow, half season ramble towards Terminus that most of the second half of S4 turned into.

Looked like Bob was bitten in the flooded cellar but concealed it from the rest of the group. Can't wait to see if Gareth and co.'s food disagrees with them.

the guy Tyrese was meant to have killed.

IDK the next time on Walking dead are usually spoilerific and they didn't hint at any sort of pay off in that regard, could be they are throwing a curveball and the crying jag was just him letting out all all the pent up emotions he keeps in check to maintain his sunny optimistic attitude in front of the GF and the others.

Was the walker that Carol killed near the end

Joe from Season 4 - the leader of the gang that 'claimed' stuff like f*cking children?

Although it's gonna be a come own from teh first episode of course, it was still good, nice faster paced stuff this season, seems they have learned a bit.

naughto · 20-10-2014 08:39PM

What was carol doing with the car was she going to head off on her own again I wounder

CastorTroy · 20-10-2014 09:19PM

Pfft. cannibals? This show is totally ripping off Z Nation. Next thing you know, they'll have a

Znado

I thought I saw that too... Also wondering if

Bob

may have been bitten, similar to the storyline in the comics.

A slower episode, but necessary I think - we saw the group come together a bit more, ie Rick/Abraham and their respective groups...also, nothing to do with the storyline but it was nice to see Rick and baby Judith having a little father/daughter time in the church

Shows that they are still human, and not just 'survivors'. IIRC, they didn't have much interaction in S4, Beth was always taking care of her :P

I'm fairly sure we seen the same thing, I'd have to watch it again but looked

like the guy tyrese told Carol he'd killed, he had a hat on and similar hair, although it was blurry.

We did see tyreese batter the sihte out of that fella tho, so even if he had relented at some point and let him live he would still be fairly bruised

True point....can't remember if the guy looked bruised or not, even though it was blurry.

An ok episode. Holy **** at the end though!

Regarding the guy Tyrese beat, I just rewatched that bit again and I'm pretty sure it's him. His left eye looks swelled shut.

Edit, a quick google brought this up

Jaysus that was a great episode, new mysterious character, new 'Safe house', back story details between characters, plan to move ahead to dc and the return of the fine young cannibals. Wasn't expecting them so quick. And then we had 3 guys from the wire in the same scene. I dunno what people want.

Maybe I'm bias as i read the comics and love when the tv show follows a comic arc so closely.

5starpool · 20-10-2014 10:52PM

No spoilers in the below really but I'll tag it anyhow as it references the comics, but

a couple of things straight from the comics there (with a different character in one case) lessened the tension a bit for me as I know how it'll play out.
