Actually its almost the beginning. They throw him back at the Church as a warning to the crew. Then Rick and a couple others go hunting.. and awesomeness begins. If I'm remembering right. Speed read up to comic 80 last night ;p
I can't wait for this. I really can't. Those are comic spoilers btw. People gotta label!

Bob wasn't bitten guys. TWD writers were trying to do something a little smarter but it fell on deaf ears I think. Or maybe it wasn't communicated correctly.

Bob is staying in high spirits all the time keeping Sasha happy. On the outside he's trying to keep everyone happy but on the inside he feels hopeless.

Or maybe I'm completely wrong but that'd be a cool character arc.

Possibly. The guy was a depressed alcoholic last season.
 
Carol did exist. She let herself be eaten by a walker in prison after failing to be the third in a relationship. And Daryl was introduced awhile back I think?
I know Carol exists.. but she died before this arc happened. Not sure about Daryl as I'm not up to that point yet. I heard he was going to be though.

I absolutely love they are going in this direction with the story line. I also hope we keep moving at this clip instead of falling into some of the slowness that's plagued the show in the past.

Yeah, I remember hearing they were going to introduce Meryl and Daryl, and then they had a cover of a silhouette with a crossbow. But as far as I know, neither have been introduced.

Tyrese sacrificing himself to save Judith and Sasha would be best. Fuck you, Tyrese. YOU HAD ONE JOB

In the end there is enough blame to go around for this. They didn't go back in and kill the rest in Terminus after they got out. That's really the cause of this. Not one guy that Tyreese thought he killed. Let's not forget the man took out three walkers, bare handed in brutal fashion as well in that episode.

Comic Spoiler
I've heard about the cannibal arc before but never really saw the pages where Rick and crew hunted them down. How graphic is it? Something that would fit the show or more violent then what has been shown?

More comic spoilers:
It has one of the most brutal scenes in the comic where Rick tortures the cannibals one by one. It's also one of the first times you see how far Rick will actually go to protect his group.

Whatever happened to the mother of the child who the Governor killed cone she was zombified? I know she killed the Governor but I forget what happened to her.

Wait, why are you guys saying Tyrese beat down Gareth? Isn't Gareth who Rick told that he'd kill him with his red machete?

She committed suicide by letting the walkers have her. Daughter was dead because of her negligence, so she had nothing left to live for. Well, besides Tara.

SO GROSS SO GROSS SO GROSS

OMG THEY'RE EATING HIM

THE SMELL OF YOUR OWN CHARBROILED FLESH

PROBABLY SEASONED WITH SALT AND PEPPER PACKETS

THE DISGUSTING SHAME WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU'RE HUNGRY TOO :(

EWWWWWWW
I made special dinner plans for tonight's episode and had yummy chicken keBOBs for dinner. I was happily eating them during the big leg reveal and commenting on the succulence of the BOB meat I was enjoying with the other folks watching the episode along with me.

I was polite, though... and offered to share.

So Bob...(possible comic spoiler)
you guys think he got bit during the water scene? If they are gonna make it like Dale when he told the hunters he was bit before, hence his amputation
 
Really liked this episode. Slow burn with the priest. Rick with those sheriff senses knowing something was bullshit.

And then Bob. Pretty sure he's outside crying because he'd been bitten. And now he's really been bitten.

Dat fucking leg on the fire.

Gonna need some Morgan time to clean some shit up. Gonna need some crazy town to set some things straight.

And is it just me or is Tara angling for a three way with Glenn and Maggie?

Great episode. Too bad about Bob. I think he's infected. After he gave Sasha that last kiss, I had a feeling he was saying goodbye to her, as he got infected and bit, but they he didn't reveal where. Those cannibals eating Bob's leg, man although everybody is infected, doesn't eating an infected person, turn you faster into a zombie?? We know everybody has the virus, but the virus doesn't fully kick in, until your dead. I have a feeling the padre

Knows about Terminus and perhaps who kidnapped Beth. The car speeding away was an undertaker car, so I'm guessing Beth in a funeral home and the Padre knows where it is and probably is interconnected with them in one or another

Comic spoiler:
[That's my guess. Bob leaving the church after a close call with a walker, getting captured by the cannibals, and the cry/laugh at the end falls in line with what happened with Dale in the comics.

I don't know if she's angling for a three-way so much as she wants to share Maggie with Glenn.

I really hope it doesn't go in that direction, but I could see it happening.

Daryl doesn't exist in the comics and he never will (Kirkman has said this a bunch of times) but you are correct about Carol.

I knew Tyrese didn't kill that dude.

Yeah, now unless I see a guys brains bashed in on screen, I'm assuming he's still alive. But I don't even see how he could be alive. Tyreese smashed his nose and face with just 3 punches, and after the cut away, landed like 6 more. He should've bled to death, suffered massive brain trauma/concussion etc.

Bob is a dumbass. Why would you leave the church at fucking night when there's zombies walking around just so you can cry alone -_-

I don't even know why he was crying. I actually thought he got bit by the walker when he got pulled in the water, but didn't wanted to tell anyone and was going to kill himself outside. I mean the whole setup screamed suicide. First he asked for one more kiss, then slowly walked away and started crying. fucking stupid.
