maybe, but it seems like there is more there. like was that whole scene with Morgan - was their whole plan just to march him back to the loading dock so he could be another zombie in a trap? feels like a lot of work to get one more guy when they already have so many. of course that is what we saw with Red Poncho. though that scene is confusing b/c they slit his throat, then turn on the EDM to distract the walkers. weird.

feels like something more like the girl who was tied up and eaten alive on the tree - some kind of ritualistic thing going on.

how sure are we that Glenn is bite-free?

(besides the fact he is one of the favorites)

kneel b4 zod, i assume they do that so they dont eat him all up while he is fresh. they lure them away, throw him in, and he turns and joins them. But generally, I do not see the point either to expand their army of infinite amount of bodies with 1 more.


anyway, actually sidetracked a bit and found that gem on other places. Red Poncho, wolves. A knock to Red Riding Hood fairytale.

I don't normally watch 'Talking Dead' but at the end of last night's episode I noticed the guests were going to be Morgan, Daryl and Carol. They showed them sitting on a couch and I did a double take because Carol actually looked...hot! I recorded TD and just finished watching it. I also was unsure who Rick shot but they talked about Rick shooting Pete so I guess that settles that.

On TD they addressed this. According to the Brit who plays Morgan, he honked the horn to make sure there were no walkers around. All life is precious.

p.s. Carol is actually pretty hot. Yeah, I'm surprised too.

There are way too many "right place at the right time" moments in this show.

-Morgan shows up to save Daryl and what's his name literally 1 second before they die.

-Maggie walks in right as the Sasha/priest fight is about to end in a murder.

-Morgan walks up to the meeting just in time to see Rick execute a guy.

I know you have to do stuff like this sometimes to make entertaining TV, but that's three examples in just one episode.

- When Pete shows up to sing kimbaya with the rest of the town she holds Rick back, knowing that by letting Rick interfere these people will never learn. They need to get burnt by the fire.

Carol was really the one that set up everything very quietly and very thoughtfully.

Based on my experience though I'm forced to believe that writer has probably already been sacked for giving too much attention to character development and detail.
This is true. Carol was handled well. Daryl and his traveling companion were handled well. All the rest of the characters get lol writing.

Scene: Walking Dead Writers meeting

Writer 1: 'But how we gonna get the zombies back in the trucks?'

Other writers in unison: 'Oh play some music and have some disco lights flashing and film them meekly walking back into the trucks'

W1: 'But we have never given an inkling in any of the 5 series that the zombies can be controlled in such a way'

OWIU (in a slightly effeminate tone): 'Ooooh get ****ing Ernest Hemingway over there'


The contempt the writers have for their audience is breathtaking. See you all in July.

meh, they have been very consistent that zombies are drawn to sound and (I think) light. mb there are speakers in the back of the truck, or a cage with a chicken in it or something

Herschel's Farm: People want to live in peace on a Farm...ok. But let's make it our life-mission to not kill creatures that constantly want to kill us! Barn full of zombies FTW.

Woodbury: Nice little town with secret group of evil people that go around killing other people, just because. Somehow the group is convinced to go to war when they could you know just go on living which is what most people would do. And zombie WWE!!??

Terminus: "We were taken advantage of by a group of ruthless thugs!" Ok, well lets start luring people here so we can kill and eat them. Reasonable solution. Obvious response.

Hospital: Everyone is a zombie but we have a good secure location in a hospital. Let's go out and kidnap people and then hurt them so that we can then treat them. That will give our lives some meaning???!!!

Woodbury 2: We live in a zombie apocalypse, but damn it we are going to do our best to do the stupidest things possible. We don't even began to understand how the world works and it's been two years at least. Plus clean clothes. Did I mention it's been two years and they still haven't learned the basics???

Wolves: We kill people and make them zombies...because that's just cool. (I'm sure the writers will come up with some loltastic explanation like they were spanked as children)
****ing Brilliant

Zombies being drawn to sound is one of the few things they have consistent with. A better gripe is to ask where the electricity powering the music is coming from.

Me too, mind was blown. Not that the actor is British, but that it was the guy from Snatch all this time! Whoa!

Back in season 1, I never once thought that Carol would become the best WD character. But damn, if that's not what's happened.

This was my biggest takeaway reading the last 2 pages. Wow can't believe I didn't pick up on this!

Also, does it tilt anyone else the way El Diablo address people ITT? I mean ****, just use the quote button.

Ah, cool. Thanks.

I like that he's badass and at the same time doesn't want to kill people. Kind of like Cutty, but much more willing to do damage if he has to.

Problem is leaving those 2 guys alive almost makes Morgan a POS. Other than surrendering to the W group after he subdued them letting them live is the worst thing he could have done.

as someone pointed out earlier, the writers or the actor recently watched book of eli and wanted to mimic that ****. He sits there, perfect eye contact while talking etc... then suddenly he goes like IMMA "MENTALLY" CLOSE MY EYES AND FEEL YOU APROACH ME AND COUNTERSTRIKE YOUR ASSES WITH MA WALKING CANE
