yes, that was my thought exactly.

Did you not see the post-credits scene from the first episode?

If not, you've missed the best part of this series.

wait, what?
there was a scene behind the credits?

For Fucks Sake! This is a goddamn series. putting important things behind the credits is just stupid!

ne1 got a link?
I can only fint post credits scene of the game -.-

To be fair, I didn't know about the post credit scene until I saw GAF talking about it either. I stream it from AMC's website so I don't know if it just cuts it off after the episode credits start to roll or if I turned it off myself.
 
Just watched the episode last night...

That ending with Bob seriously grossed me the fuck out.

:(

I'm trying to speculate what that pastor did but I have absolutely no idea.

Also, did anyone think the scene with Daryl and the water jug was a blooper that they decided to add? It looked way too out of place and humorous to have been scripted, imo. ( if mentioned before, don't kill me. I'm on my phone and can't go back tons of pages while at work )

Bob stuff

First, Gareth was talking to Bob and called him by his name in the first episode when they we're about to be slaughtered, so it is not surprising he was talking to him the same way at the end of this episode. I'm pretty sure it is just a case of him knowing Bob from when they first got to terminus and nothing deeper.

I think Bob is bit due to two things. First was the obviousness of the scene in the water. It wasn't filmed like just a "close call". Second is the whole game Bob and Sasha were playing, where she'd say something terrible and he'd put a positive spin on it. "So you got attacked by cannibals and they are eating your leg" "Yeah but..."
They obviously want us to suspect that Bob was bitten, and I don't see how they can reveal that he wasn't, so I am going with bitten. I'm hoping that eating the trainted meat is going to somehow give us human/zombie hybrids, it would be nice for zombies to be some kind of threat again, and the only way to do that now is to have massive hordes of them or to have some kind of intelligence leading them.
 
Also, gabriel has done something seriously bad.
Just speculation. But I think he locked those ppl and his gf/wife in that shelter with the food, because they were under attack or somthing and he ran scared. He dosent seem like someone who who would directly take a life.

One of those zombies looked like the girl in the picture

Soooo, in this episode I started to think what if the zombies actually evolved into some more menacing monsters? Something akin to Mr. X's from Resident Evil? That would be a nice twist.
 
I can't imagine how many casual fans missed the post-credits scene with Morgan. Come on people. You're going to watch talking dead anyway so you leave the channel on...right.....right?!

I mean at least ABC told people to keep watching after the credits for the SHIELD post-credit scene they did last year. There was no precedent for it on this show and no one knew it was coming.

Bob got out to look at the flowers.
And nah, Garret was just very casual in his approach to Bob. He just talked to him the way he did bcause he could. He doesn't care what their prey tells 'em, he has a story, a motive, so he shares.

Garreth will be looking at flowers soon, i expect cempaxuchitl

My thoughts on where this story is going, w/Possible comic book similarities blacked out, even though I don't believe they are going to follow comic events to the T.

1)
Dale... err I mean "Bob" got bit, but in a place that can't be cut off like his chest, stomach, or back.
Why I think this is because crying from such a normally positive character made his bite punch in the face obvious.
Yes his meat is tainted, but nobody turns from it.

2) Morgan (Carol 2.0)
TV-Jesus?
is going to supply plot armor to an original 5 cast member and save the day... Yippee!

3)
Imo Gabriel's sin was locking the church and letting his flock die.

4) I can't wait to see where Daryl and Carol get off to while chasing the god-mobile!
Will this begin to introduce The Hilltop, Negan's outpost network, The Kingdom? I hope for the outposts myself. In that motherfucking king badass motherfucker Negan I trust!

I thought this as well.

Considering they've been killing the people first before eating them, I am surprised that these hunters have the medical knowledge to actually keep Bob alive after they have amputated him (and did a fabulous job bandaging his leg up). Not to mention they have access to pain killers to keep him drugged and relatively pain free. Yeah, after the initial cool factor wears off, these details seem rather farfetched under the circumstances.

After re-watching it yes, i think is a blooper, that's why Carol is corpsing and Daryl still in character and all serious.

I was thinking that maybe the people reveled against him
because they think that whatever relationship he had with the lady of the picture could be a way for god to punish them

I thought Rick with the baby responding in the church was a moment of improve from the group, seemed genuine.

Oh, I thought you meant about him locking people out.
Never mind then.

Ah. He could have broken his vows which is what it seemed like. The "You will burn for this" carved into the wall of the church could have been about that. Then the congregation found out and went on a witch hunt. There are a million things it could have meant.

My stupid fucking DVR cut the recording right as he was about to pull his mask down.

I was like "seriously?"


GAF to the rescue, but yeah, missing the actual reveal pissed me off.

I think Gabriel probably ran scared one day and locked everyone outside then they desperately tried to get in and realised what he had done, etched that writing on the church before fleeing to that town and ending up in the basement.

That's the most probable reasoning but are to many things up in the air for it to be 100% positive. This show goes all over the place so who the hell knows.
 
Pretty shocking seeing Bob eaten like that. Ugh.

Are we going to be dealing with the Terminus assholes all season? I hope not. I get tired of the cat and mouse games with other survivors. We need a new threat.

Only other theory that springs to mind, he let whoever was in that car that took Beth or whoever it was last season, people from his group up to a point where they went to hide in town which unfortunately lead to their doom anyway.

The real story is that Carl did it, so that he could create some drama.

It shows that his church is Episcopal, which are allowed to marry. Shit, they even have woman and gay preachers.

Did not know that.

Wait, do you mean priest? Gabriel has a priest collar.

I think he has a weird ass sex dungeon under the church lol.

He was pissed there wasn't any pudding.

Rick asked him if he knew her, or something like that. I don't remember him answering, but I think it was accepted that they were acquainted. They showed the picture after too.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!

Honestly I would assume that is a production oversight. I went to an Episcopal church when I was younger and still had to go to church and don't remember seeing those. I don't believe all non-catholic denominations actually wear the white-on-black priest collar. In fact I don't think non-catholic denominations even use the term "priest."

IIRC some Episcopalians and Lutherans will refer to preachers as priests. Some Lutherans and Anglicans will wear clerical collars as well. It's not just Catholic priests.

Why would that be an oversight though. The priest collar is known in all developed areas of the world I would assume. Huh... Actually, pretty sure he was just supposed to be a generic Catholic priest with the communion wine and all. I highly doubt the writers would put a variant type of priest in a popular show. The collar is too well known. I don't think denomination even factors into this.

I'm gonna assume it's just meant to be a generic priest for the sake of television. I don't think this show would go that deep into the denominations of a faith. So I'm just gonna call catholic priest on this one.

Just watched the post credit scene after episode 1, well I guess that could be the person creeping about and the tree markings, also instead of the cannibals. Nice to see him again.

Comic Conversation
Well... if you believe him, Kirkman did say in the fan letters section that the reason he killed comic-Glenn was because he thought the TV actor was so absolutely perfect as Glenn, that the comic version felt like a lesser version and thus he couldn't write him anymore. Or something like that, it was a while ago that I read that.

They'll probably do it to Daryl. Or Maggie.

Hah, I hope that's true because I've always felt the same. The show ruined Andrea but massively improved Glenn. He kinda felt like a nobody in the comics until he was killed, which turned Maggie into this awesome Hilltop leader.
