When did Tyreese become so against killing? What caused the change? Was it what happened in "The Grove"?

Nah. He's a tough cookie.
I have to say I'm surprised by the quick pace these first two episodes of the season given the mostly slow pace that dominated most of the first four seasons. It's actually a refreshing change of pace, and I'm surprised that I'm enjoying the show this much even though it's already on its 5th season. I hope this keeps up.
The fuck you talking about it hasn't even been 24 hours since the episode aired.

Once it has aired, it's fair game for discussion in this thread. Please take the time to read the OP.
Just did. Sorry, I was using gaming side spoiler etiquette.
Besides the monologuing cannibal who else sounded unnatural?
He's a hipster.
I do like the hunters seemingly being the big bad this season, but I kinda get that it seems to always be twisted humans being the main source of antagonism in this show. With stories it's usually Man vs. Environment, Man vs. Himself, or Man vs. Man, and I wouldn't mind them dealing with maybe some non-human source of conflict for awhile since what happened at Terminus was pretty intense.
That being said, I'm still extremely interested in seeing who else is on the hunters' menu in the upcoming weeks, LOL!
Damn.
Two great episodes in a row.
Bob
Beth
But it wouldn't really make sense. Why hadn't he turned? How did no one notice?

I could have sworn that Bob got bit and he was going to kill himself at the end of the episode.
I just figured Bob was crying because he was almost bitten which would've taken him away from Sasha and the others. Crying out of happiness for being alive still and or just taking in the fear of losing everything.
Otherwise, I don't know. Maybe he did get bit somehow? Doesn't matter, Bob is a Golden Corral dinner now.

The Church was not Catholic going off the sign. Episcopal I think?
Also, is the priest in the comics? What's his story in the comics? What happens to him?
Oh Bob. I really hope that you did get bitten so that you can get some measure of revenge.
A one legged Bob is still useful, but damn. He didn't even have time to get some action before all of this. That negative into a positive game is going to get pretty dark if they ever get to play it again.

That Gareth monologue at the end was just too over-the-top evil, no subtlety or shades of gray with that guy. Could the actor not grow a mustache he could twirl to really drive the point home?
After the last few piss poor seasons I have to say I'm quite surprised at how much I'm enjoying and now looking forward to TWD. Everything about the show seems different. Is there a new show runner? I mean, the music, dialogue, scene pacing, all seem vastly superior to what we've had to endure the last few seasons.
And count me in the group that thought Bob was bitten and was going to kill himself after leaving the church. Something definitely strange going on there..

So, I was just thinking. Although Eugene is not the most bright character (perhaps made deliberately so), I feel like the writers want to move forward.
I dont see the show running for 10+ seasons, and this is already season 5. If they want a conclusion to the story (which I think the writers want to do, as the comics are nowhere finished I believe).
Over the course of the next 3-4 seasons I think the group will move towards DC and towards the "cure". I dont think it will be a happy ending, perhaps that there is a cure, so Rick etc. might feel they actually killed people instead of zombies.

They did that last season with the flu and some people hated it. I liked it though.
As for Bob, I am in the camp that thinks he was bitten. If he wasn't then his death will really suck. I also don't see why anyone thinks the cannibals ate the bitten leg. Why would they eat a leg with a human bite on it?

Man I knew I saw that guy. If Tyreese isn't gonna kill a guy who threatened to snap a baby's neck, why would he kill him for anything less? Fuck a Tyreese. He acts like he's in a fucking Jackie Chan movie always trying to protect a baby with his "don't want trouble" attitude.
The fact that no one went into the cabin where hat-man was knocked out was also pretty dumb. Even if you do take Tyreese's word that he's dead, don't you want to make sure he's double dead so he doesn't turn into a walker? Wouldn't you go in that cabin to rest or see if there's anything of use? Why does he even care if hat-man lives or dies by Carol's hand?
Tyreese is like new Dale as the annoying moral center. Even Carl has more sense than him.

Ty just need something to snap him like what happened to Rick. Ty's girlfriend death brought it out a lil bit but he needs something else. Hes like Gohan when he was fighting Cell
Really? You don't think Gareth wouldn't want to track them down? Even if Tyreese thought the guy was dead and is alive he'd at the very least be unconscious for a few hours and they all went right to the tracks after leaving that shack. If anything would tip them off as the direction they went in it would be Rick altering the sign the way he did and any of them could have found that looking back at the direction Rick originally approached Terminus since Gareth mentions during the opening scene of the first episode that they indeed saw them approaching and bury the bag. They didn't actually sneak up on Terminus as they thought.
There is enough blame to go around and you can't put this on only on Tyreese because he didn't actually kill one guy he thought he did. They should have gone back and killed the rest the way Rick wanted but they didn't. That's the primary thing here.
I really don't think that any cure could fix what physically happened to most of the zombies we've seen killed on this show haha

Tyreese isn't the only one to blame for sure. But if anyone else in the group saw what hat-guy was trying to pull, he wouldn't be alive.
The group didn't want to go back to finish them off because they just wanted to escape with their lives. But Rick definitely had the right idea. He should have said "Do you want another Governor? We let him get away and he came back with a new army and a tank, rolled through our home, and killed our people."
I don't care about no shades of grey. I'm with Rick, he's gotta go.

1. They definitely didn't need to use ammunition to kill those trapped zombies. Speaking of...when they saved Father Gabriel someone used their gun and I laughed.
2. Rick and Daryll knew they're group was being watched. I dunno just seems like a random plothole. Someone should have even been keeping watch or keeping count of whos going in and out or atleast a buddy system.
4. lol true.
I digress. Was just pointing out some lulz worthy moments that the show is known for.
Me too, I'm curious how compelling of a motivation they are going to be able to come up with for these cannibals. The traincar scene with Gareth and the grilling woman, is that really enough for anybody to think "ok, now I can see why they became cannibals"? I can see that motivating them to be willing to kill other humans, but is that really also motivating them to basically start farming other humans as well?

Can someone explain to me why it was "cosmic irony" that Bob was the one to be captured and eaten? At first, it made me think that the Terminus group was one of the many groups he was with before meeting up with the Rick and Crew.
FantasticMrFoxdie

Gareth Cutestory said they were probably going to eat anyone they came across. It just so happened it was Bob and the people that destroyed their home.
I think it was implied that he was bitten but theres no solid proof.
He never said it was cosmic irony it was cosmic justice. Simply cause the person they captured and were going to be eaten could of been anyone but happened to be Bob and since he helped destroy terminus it was cosmic justice to them.

Okay, I was confused because I thought he meant Bob specifically. And I also thought they were already hunting Rick's group for meat and for their guns.
Well, glad I'm not the only one then. The only other thing it could be that he knows something about the preacher or something else is afoot.
Also, what was up with that marking on the tree, I wonder?
Hobbestetrician

Oh, I agree, don't get me wrong. It is just that I don't necessarily believe that a person would be so transparently evil, especially in an unprompted monologue. He was (attempting to) justify their ways but his tone and face all said 'yeah, I am evil, bring it on'.
He is an easy target but I suppose the group could use one of those.

Yea this season has been awesome so far. This show has definitely had its ups and downs but we are off to an amazing start so far. These Terminus Hunters are a much scarier threat the the Govna ever was.

That was my take on it. I think the writers were going for something deeper and pretty much everyone didn't get it. At first I thought it was because he was bit but then came to realize it was probably some emotional reaction about being alive and having everyone together and not being alone anymore.
RE: His leg
Completely shocked me. I had no idea that was going to happen, did an audible "holy shit".
Wasn't the Governor one already, though? On a black/white kinda way?

you ate tainted meat and showing the hunters the bite

Oi, lads, lads, lads. Listen to this one, you'll love it.
That priest is going to get Carver-d to pieces by those cannibals.
Yeah?
Go bollocks then!

That's what I imagined happened.
He was bitten.
He kissed his girlfriend twice, the camera focused on him a tad too long and he ran away to kill himself.
And hunters eating him sounds like a convenient plot device in this case. Doesn't really make much sense for them to stop to eat him right away, otherwise
