He seems to be forgetting that Maggie had several days after the prison and before Terminus to mourn Hershel and/or search for Beth, but chose to maniacally search for Glenn instead. Also, she had time after Terminus and before the church, and then in the bus, and again in the abandoned library. But, whatever.

I'm very interested to see how they handle the whole Maggie/Beth thing when they finally get to it.

I think that just comes down to how people perceive Beth they see her as weak and although she has stabilized from her suicidal self back in Season 2 she really hasn't shown to anybody that she has changed and that she's capable of surviving on her own as opposed to Glen. I can see her making a pragmatic decision to focus on finding Glenn rather than recreate another "sophia" situation.

That being said I'm sure she'll feel like a shitty person once she sees Beth again.

That's a good point. Kirkman should have just said that, haha.

I think they're just having a hard time figuring out how to write Maggie and Beth's situation. They don't want to waste show minutes having Maggie mourn Beth when they know she's coming back I guess. While that makes some sense pragmatically, it makes for weird characterization. They didn't spend a lot of time having Rick and Carl mourn Judith either but we, the audience, knew she was fine so that seemed ok.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of Z-Nation. Let me straight up say that it's absolute dogshit compared to TWD. I hope everyone dies in the next episode and we start with a brand new story, characters and a plot.

She quickly became somebody who I was just counting the episodes before she would be killed off to one of the funner, more unique members of the main cast. I really like what they've done and are continuing to do with her story. Hope she sticks around for quite a while longer.

Yeah, she wasn't much more than a red shirt at first but I've grown fond of her and am interested to see what they do with her character.

Rosita hasn't been anything but badass eye candy so far but now that Eugenius has been exposed maybe her character will get some depth.

Yeah, pretty sure that was me. I don't consider Znation great TV or anything. It doesn't take itself seriously and is a fun hour of tv. The zombies kills are ridiculous
and there is actually a guy who is the cure but is slowly turning.
They also aren't afraid of killing off main characters or making fun of themselves (z-nado episode actually referenced sharknado). There are also fast zombies, you turn within seconds, and everyone has the virus like TWD. Also zombie animals and a baby.

I like TWD but it takes itself pretty seriously considering the quality. Z-nation is stupid fun and the polar opposite of TWD.

The show needs to spend the next of the season showing the wacky adventures of TeamMullet before they meet the boring group of survivors.

I enjoy Z Nation too. It is cheesy as hell and absolutely knows it. Stupid fun, but fun nonetheless.

Bottom line: I like zombies

but did he died ?
Click to expand...

Probably just a broken nose and a very bad headache. I very much doubt he died.

I am curious though to see what what will become of Abraham and his original survivors. His plot armor is gone, and if Shane taught us anything it's that there can only be one alpha in the group. Rickmeister is the XXX OG.

Either Abraham gets killed, commits suicide or he goes solo. He is an army man to the T and he needs a mission to survive. No mission means he is rudderless.

Amen. She just comes off as a breath of fresh air. Most likely because she hasn't been through all the things the main group has so she hasn't been beaten down by it all but I get this feeling that she'd still be like she is even if she was with them from the start.

That's my hope. I have to see either her or Rick showing these people what true crazy is like.

Will this episode go that far though? I'm assuming it ends with carol being captured/faking whichever it is. Then next week we go back to Daryl arriving at the church and rick and co. deciding to storm the hospital. Then the finale is the showdown.

UNLESS carol is faking and that means it ends with her faking tonight and next week she murders everyone. Or maybe her faking will only be the middle of the episode, ya never know,

I think this week's episode will eclipse the ending of the Beth episode because, I mean, they follow the car to the hospital and then what? How do they fill the rest of the episode without going past Beth seeing Carol?

oh wow cm punk is back! We need a punk, y2j, and conan episode. All in one.

Also yeah you could be right. But they'll be going back to atlanta right? I imagine it's walker filled. They could get into some stuff while they form a plan.

So we're sitting on two cliffhangers.

1. Daryl coming out of the woods in front of Michonne (like what, three episodes ago?) and calling out to unknown companion(s).

2. Carol being wheeled in on the stretcher.


I hope they are both closed tonight. The pacing in the first three episodes was fast, so maybe they'll get back to that.

please don't be a shitshow like ep 4
