Having read the comics your post spoiled nothing for me personally but may have done for others hence my comment. It is not my fault you have no thought for others whilst posting with your knowledge of the comics plain to see. Maybe I'm mistaken and comic knowledge is allowed in these tv episode threads and not considered to be spoilers??

Anyhow, you were right and quick to edit your post to include spoiler tags after my comment or maybe a mod did it. Regardless of that, did it really take you two days to formulate your 'comeback'. Nice one brother, have a biscuit.

no doll i didnt edit my post and it didn't take me 2 days to reply, I saw your comment earlier today and replied thusly. very petty aren't we? blessings xxx

Back on topic, I thought it was a good episode, yeah there are flaws sticking out a mile (like drinking the wine of someone you just met and don't trust). The thing with

bob

was so obvious as they kept zoning in on him so you knew he was in trouble. But oh my god that trouble has been in my head since I watched the show Tuesday. I think he must have known them before they way they spoke at the end. Very well done I felt as it really changed the tone of the episode. I enjoyed the dialog parts too, it can't all be bash em up, edge of the seat stuff. The

person Daryl was sure he seen, was that the termites? or is that someone else

I thought it was a good one and gave it 7/10, knew it couldn't come close to episode 1 that was very special.

Daryl

Went after a car that was the same or similar to the one that took Beth last season with the cross on the back window.

Was that the person

in the hood who he had seen earlier in the episode when talking with carol? I thought when they first met the priest he was the one that took beth but it mustn't have been him as he's with the others

Here's a weird thing, about a particular character, but not related to this episode, I've just been told it by a guy I know.

It relates to Daryl, and is about the character of the character, and could be a potential spoiler for future storylines, I'm not a comic reader either, so don't know if this happens on the comics.

Apparently Norman Reedus told someone at some Comic Con that he plays Daryl as a gay man, but he says they'll go nowhere with it, it's just a thing about the character, could be blue eyes, could be asian, he's just gay.

The guy who told me is a gay guy himself, and said he read it in some "gay interest" magazine

I was thinking about the ending,

with Bob.

It would be funny if they saved his life by cutting off his leg (if he had been bit) and then they ended up turning when they ate it.

I know its unlikely because if he was bit, he had to have been completely infected by the time he got kidnapped.

it would be the way I'd write it though :pac:

Paddy Cow · 24-10-2014 08:47PM

^^^^^ If he got bitten on the leg they would have seen it before cutting it off. It's more likely he got bit in the chest or side.

I'm not using spoilers because anyone who hasn't seen the episode shouldn't be reading this thread!

He was limping in the water immediately before he got grabbed, but there wasn't a noticeable limp when he was leaving the church. I don't think there was any indication that he was bitten.

I think the last part of the show was a set up for something being wrong with him. The skeleton zombie had a prolonged struggle with him, and if I remember correctly dragged him under the water at one stage, so who knows what happened.

It was all lovey dovey with him and Tasha and him asking for those extra kisses. There was a stark contrast between everyone being happy in the church and Bob going outside on his own to have a cry. It should have been a happy night for him after escaping Terminus and finding a stash of food and a place to hole up for a few days.

When he was standing at the tree you could clearly see the gun tucked into the back of his pants. When he started crying I honestly thought he had come out to blow his brains out as he knew he would be a threat to the group once he turned and he wanted Tasha's last memories of him to be him kissing her, rather than getting upset about how he was going to get the fever and die.

As a non comic reader I had no idea what was about to go down. I should have been on high alert as even I said after last week that the Terminus guys wouldn't let it go but I got lulled into a false sense of security.

I really hope that

Bob is infected and the guys who ate him get infected too.

I feel bad for the Terminus group about what happened to their sanctuary when they were only trying to help people but for ****s sake, it's impossible to empathise with what they became. They really need to be put down as they are a serious threat to any survivors.

True, it's ironic that Bob stopped Rick from hunting them down. No way they should have been allowed to live.

The idea of Bob being bitten was a red herring.

When Rick wanted to hunt them I couldn't believe that a) he was shot down and b) he didn't push harder. Before they had come across Terminus, there was that bunch of psycho's who Daryl unwittingly teamed up with who were hell bent on killing Rick. Rick and Daryl should've known that they couldn't expect to leave any survivors from Terminus and not expect them to come after the group. That group are like feral dogs. They need to be put down for the good of all who come across them. They are beyond reform or redemption.

Why do you think he was breaking down/crying then?

If he wasn't bitten, then there must be something else wrong with him?

What struck with me when Bob was captured by the Terminus crew was they said something along the lines of "We didn't intend it to be you", or "It just had to be you".....intimating that they had known him previously.
Now we all know Bob has some dark secrets with his drinking and crying on his own, but if he had been in contact with the Terminus crew previously (either as one of them or as one of their enemies) wouldn't they have called him out on it when he first arrived there , and he would never have gone there in the first place if he'd known.

I didn't think there was any suggestion he knew them previously, I just took it as a reference to when he was in Terminus and pleading for his life.

Yes but in episode one they also say 'we can't go back Bob'.

I've seen the latest episode

doesn't appear like they know each other
