I didn't even know it was on while the Olympics were on. in fact I hardly knew the Olympics were on...just didnt have interest in it. Plus we were pretty busy.
The unambiguous and defined essence of a truest friend, is a single soul, shared in two bodies. A person who completes you so, that it pains you when they hurt, and sustains you when they are with you, no matter how far.

Well..... I'm probably biased, because I adore Beth, and I'm glad she finally got her huggies, even if she had to fight though a mean drunk of a Daryl to get them

But if I'm being objective, when one of the producers came on Talking Dead after the midseason break & told everybody that things were going to be "Dark" in the back 8 episodes, I kind of thought she meant gruesome & grim, but what she really meant was depressing. The problem with their "Depressing" stretch of episodes is it's not so much depressing as it is... BORING

This is the 4th episode that things are dragging like a slug through drying cement. I have to imagine it's coming to a reunion of sorts at Terminus, but are they waiting until the very end to get to it?

I will say this though. It was cool to see the simple concealed fire starting scene. They could do more of that subtle survivalist stuff in the background without taking away from the story too much. Daryl skinning a snake, etc... Still a kind of boring episode though

I'm enjoying these episodes. So much character development. And thank god someone finally hugged Daryl. For 4 years I've been thinking CAN NONE OF THEM SEE HOW MUCH THIS MAN NEEDS A DAMN HUG!!!

I saw the angry Daryl differently. He was fine till she asked him (through the game) if he'd been in prison and he said is that what you think of me? I think in his mind it proved to him that he as still that loser drunk who followed his brother around and got drunk in the morning and watched cartoons. I think for the first time in his life he felt respected and she just took that all away from him in an instant.

It's not what she meant of course, but in that moment I think that was how he felt.

I don't hate it. It's just been a bit dull. Actually, he put that game quite close to home right from the start, kicking it off with the fact that he'd never been out of GA. Everything he said was something that pisses him off that he never got to do

So think about this. Somebody in an awfully good place was serious about Abe & his trio of crusaders. When we find them, they are dressed like they're on vacation with clean shaves & hairstyles, & they're barreling down the road in a diesel dinosaur, & "The Package" doesn't even know how to handle a weapon almost 2 years into the disaster. Where the hell did these people come from? That's what I want to know, because they look a shitload better off than any of our prison crew, who in all honesty have had it pretty good for several months until the shit hit the fan

Within the next episode or 2 we're going to start having to clear up whether everyone is on the same timeline or not. Glen finds the Terminus sign, but it's not clear if he did so before or after everyone else & Maggie left her notes

And in respect to my last post, I'm wondering if the Abe trio actually came from Terminus

possible. If they did I think it's a good sign.

there are only 3 episodes left. Poor Daryl :(

you think Daryl is at the house when Rick is under the bed?

I can't figure it anymore. Probably not, but you never know. It would be a new phenomena for this show to start bouncing all over the timeline like that, the way LOST did. I'm not sure I'd approve if it did. Too pointlessly confusing

Edit: Just rewatched some. It appears that the guy Rick strangled isn't with them when they come upon Daryl. So it's probably after

Frankly, I'm not worried about Daryl at all. He is a valuable assent in the ZA, & capable of handling himself in any situation. That scene with him behind the gurneys is the best scene of the back 8 episodes so far. My theory is that Daryl will only die when he offers up his life

What worries me is that the ONLY reason to do this with him is to place him in a moral dilemma, where someone (Likely Beth) is the object of this marauder gang's wrath. I'm worried because how bad will it get before he is able (Or maybe even willing) to do something about it? I'm not even overlooking the possibility that Beth was kidnapped at that house. The whole setting just screams trap. They needed to loot that food & move on. It was clear to both of them that they were treading someone's turf. Maybe there are good people left, but you can't tramp around thinking that's all you're going to run into

Edit: After a rewatch, I noticed Beth's pack is dropped right outside where the car takes off. She is clearly abducted :(

I think we've got this problem where, because of how long they've survived against tough situations, the weak don't really know they're weak. Carl, Beth, Bob & the girls. No one group we've been watching in the past 5 episodes is strong enough to outmatch Joe's gang, Frankly, Rick is the only one who seems to recognize when he's outmatched

I'm worried something awful is going to happen to Beth, & maybe Daryl has some shit times ahead. I'm also wondering which storylines are going to converge & when. There's only 3 left. Something nasty will have to go down before they ever even reach Terminus

"Why hurt yourself, when you can hurt other people?" Jesus.

BTW, It looks like a rough patch for Carol next week. It could be a fake out, but the teaser makes it out like Carol has to abandon the younger girl to walkers

yeah, I guess you saw that preview on talking dead.

I'm sure Daryl is physically safe but emotionally he's broken. He needs someone to take care of or he will become the old daryl.

There's really no worry of that. Old Daryl was only the way he was because he was in the shadow of Merle. No one else will ever have that kind of emotional control over him. He's his own man now, & all it will take for that to be shown is when they plop this moral dilemma on him. Someone from the prison group will be at odds with Joe's gang & Daryl will have to choose/intervene

I'm assuming he will choose to be moral. There are good people left. Daryl has admitted it, & he's grown close to several. When he encounters them again, I really can't see him choosing to side against them. In that way, his story has become a bit predictable this season. Hopefully they manage to tell it well

What worries me is that a story of that importance might end with him sacrificing himself, the way Andrea died after she was a focal point for a season. Perhaps not, but it's possible. I tend to start being concerned for people who get a sudden influx of plot thrown their way

Well, I take that back. That might have been the darkest thing I've seen on tv since Deadwood killed two teenagers in its 1st season

I was thinking how boring the episode was till it was omg

I thought they missed what was going on with Tyrese when he forgave Carol though. He just agreed to the exact same thing as Carol did to Karen. What right did he have to judge her?

Yeah, & in offering the gun to Tyrese, she was somewhat recognizing Rick's perspective of her. She knew she had earned being dead. Rick thought the exact same thing of Carol that Carol said about Lizzie. She can't be among people with her take on the world. I'm certainly not saying Carol was a psychopath like Lizzie was, but the correlation is still valid

well, if you think about it Rick was always doing the same thing Carol did. Protecting the group from a perceived danger.

I agree. In both cases, Carol was making the hard choice of doing away with someone who would be a danger to the group and other living humans. In that environment, they don't have the luxury of sitting around and waiting for a cure. Karen was among the first to get hit with that plague and would have died anyway. And Lizzie had an issue far beyond just naming the zombies.

Well, if you're asking me to spoil it for you. Carol's been traveling with two little girls, sisters, 10 & 11 maybe. The nuttier little girl killed her sister, because she doesn't differentiate between the walking dead & the living. So, Carol put her down "Of Mice & Men" style. Might be the harshest thing ever televised

The difference is that Carol established herself (& continues to do so) as a person inclined to violently eliminating anyone within her group who might pose a threat. She did not have all the facts. She did not stop the spread of the illness. She's not a doctor, nor the final say in that group, & in any group of civilized people, she could not be completely trustworthy because she unilaterally appoints herself executioner. I agree with Rick in his thinking. I could not have my family in a group that had someone like that around

Don't mistake that with me agreeing with what Rick did, in unilaterally exiling Carol. That was not his call anymore either, but when he made it, he was thinking "This person can't be around our people" & what Carol was thinking about Lizzie this week was "This person can't be around our people", & there's argument to support both counts

& what I'm wondering is if Carol recognizes that correlation, & that's why she offered Tyrese the opportunity to do to her what she did to Lizzie. It's a stretch, but if it is so, then maybe this was a bit of a reality check for Carol & her choices . I would find that well played
