Why is Shane being mentioned a lot? Rick is no where as extreme as loud mouth Shane. Guy was always flying off the the handle and escalating things.
Rick always gives people a chance, and handled things when he was suppose to. Carol is really the only one who got her hands dirty, with the burning the sick and all.

Really disappointed that they had to explain so much on Talking Dead - shows how everyone is so forgetable outside of the main group and how they think we,as fans, would catch shit like this. Great ideas and ways to tie the story, but bad storytelling:
e.g. -
1. Mary is Gareth's mom
2. The guy on the slab was Gareth's brother
3. The first guy at the trough was the hippie dude from when Carol got left behind

Shane was right in mentality but the way he went about it was all wrong and would have gotten everyone killed. But he was definitely right about how to survive. I like what gimple said, Shane is the one who set Rick on this path.

He was killed last season. On Talking Dead they explain it doesn't matter it was his brother, it was considered food and would be processed accordingly.
What is up with the watch?
Loved the season premiere. Kinda figured they'd cover Terminus for more than an episode, but there was only so much they could do with the group being stuck in a train car. I did like the idea of Terminus though. Scary as fuck place to be locked up at.
And just need to take a second to process how much of a god damn badass Carol has become. Holy shit. Amazing character progression from season 1 to now.
Interested to learn more about the people that were there before Carol wrecked the place, but excited about where the group's heading next.

Well, Shane's baby did play a pivotal role in this week's episode. It's to be expected.

His brother was the one that was killed in the finale, the one who had Hershel's watch. He was killed when the sniper was trying to get Rick.

Hey guys remember when morgan came back.

I'm hoping. One of the more well written characters.
Dang. I barely even remember that somebody was killed at that part.
Nothing really. It's just that Carol spots it, and I guess she notices it's the same watch she gave to the hippie couple last season. The guy had gone to Terminus and they just took it from him before he was bled out over the trough.
Shane actually couldn't habdle it. He had the right idea, but was emotionally unstable and the pressure made him crack. I honestly think if Rick had never showed up, he would have emotionally went off the rails at some point anyways. So while it's true Shane adapted to the new world faster than a lot of people, he was also a wild fire and was eventually going to burn everything.
It's also important to note that a lot of Shanes survival mentality was born out of his displacement of Rick coming back and uprooting his position/life.
His schedule might allow it. his only other project is a British tv show. So if the schedules don't conflict
I kinda wish he didn't have that filler episode last season (or two seasons ago). I think his appearance here would have had a much bigger impact.

If only. Would be amazing.
It still had an impact because 1) he's no longer crazy and 2) they didn't forget about him after "Clear."

Clear was an amazing episode tho
and its only the first episode!MikeBreezy92
Member
Nah its better because we've known what he's gone through and to see him ok and traveling.....its awesome.
Clear was the best episode of Season 3.
Like a fucking wire reunion with deangelo. Love it!
I thought the episode was okay, but I think I dislike it more because of its filler nature.

Carol doing wetwork. I like it since she manages to do all this killing without coming off as grimdark and introspective about it. She's realistic about without being all philosophizing about how the world really works. Cause goddamn that church lady was hamming that point home.
I really hope he did and wasn't just saying he did so that Carol would let that dude live. If he does come back, he better come back looking like the Elephant Man.

How do they eat people?
When they kill a victim wont their corpse turn?
Dont they need to be alive or something to eat them?

Yeah. Can't show some nips though.
Hannibal is also really violent with odd environmental censorship. Like you can't see a lady's nipples because they're being covered by the antlers that are impaling her torso.

That's because everyone at this point has internalized Shane's philosophy. Do what's necessary. Carol's like ok....I shot a mentally handicapped kid....nothing I can do that is worse than that.

This. That's why the rapist dude came out of the box saying "we are all the same".
Weird thing is, nudity is perfectly acceptable on basic cable in Europe and I think Japan. I want to say South America too but I don't know. Definitely Canada.
So, Terminus Survivors are going to be the next big threat this season? I thought their motivation was rushed. I get it, that they were trying to help people and were taken over. But why the fuck would you take the place over and invite more people just to eat them? I get wanting revenge and I get being distrustful but that's a pretty big leap to being a cannibal. They had vehicles so they couldn't scavenge like the other groups?
I would make a guess that when the Terminus Survivors come back (whose leader eerily reminds me of that guy from that Mac book commercials) that we'll get more back story.
Otherwise it's an amazing episode.

Best episode ever imo.
Easier than sending people out to hunt for food. If you don't tell the public/front-facing people that eat the other humans that it's humans, they won't care. It's meat.
But everyone was on board for this? Everyone was cool with cannibalism? I don't buy that.
We don't know. All we know is that there was a front-facing group that would "protect" their own and eat what they killed (other humans). As far as we know, the ones/red shirts that were shot by Rick and Carol in these attacks weren't part of that "man behind the curtain" in so far as "outside of protecting the group" functions.
But again: If you could lead animals (in this case humans) into a trap (like they did Rick/crew to the train) to slaughter them/kill them to eat... why wouldn't you do that over tramping around in the woods with walkers wanting to eat you instead.
Well if they didn't want to be part of the next meal you had to go along with it.

Nothing suggested on the show or on Talking Dead that people weren't in on it.
They even said on Talking Dead that the backstory of Terminus includes adding more outsiders to the group if they seemed strong and useful and not disgusted that they were fed human meat before the news was broke to them.
They said that they didn't attempt to bring aboard the group that arrived first because Abraham was pitching his "lets go to Washington" to them right away.

Amazing premier.
And yeah, Ty definitely didn't kill that dude. He kept yelling "I won't!" which I took as he still won't kill. He just fucked him up and left him bloody and unconscious. Talking Dead also hinted at this as he wasn't apart of the "In Memoriam" segment.
You have to imagine him, Gareth, and a few other survivors pop up again, possibly offing some of the cast. I agree with that dude who posted Carol being one of them, just to make Ty feel that much worse. Hell, maybe could be Ty himself.

And who would stop those guys who didn't go along with it from killing the cannibals? They had plenty of guns.
Their motivation for cannibalism just doesn't make sense. If it were established that they were fanatical cultists or whatever then okay.
Man, just rewatched the trough scene.
That is probably the most difficult scene I've ever watched on this show.
It's not even the goriest scene they've done. Not by a long shot. But the combination of gore and callous brutality. The first time I watched that scene I covered my mouth I was so stunned by it. Never reacted like that before.
