The real winner is Abraham who is now rolling with Rosita, Tara, and Maggie.

So who wins in a fight Rick or Abraham?

Abraham is a badass but Rick is on a level of his own. He chewed a mans throat. He also whips out various one liners before murdering people.

Anyway, taaaaaaiiinted meeeeaaaat! Yes yes yes! When Gareth started talking about bears eating their young I knew Gimple would faithfully adapt the storyline. I have my complaints about the show, a lot, but season 5 is really hitting all of the right buttons. Especially as a fan of the comic I'm very happy. And Rick going all apeshit? Yes! Thanks Gimple.
And RIP Bob. You delivered that last line beautifully.
As someone who is really only watching this show still because of my girlfriend I actually thought most of this episode was good. Of course the dialogue is still awful, but at this point all my hope that the dialogue and characterization on this show would improve is dead. However these last two episodes have been pretty solid to me. The plot has moved at a steady pace, the action has been solid and not too contrived and they have kept things interesting and not overstayed their welcome at certain plot points like in seasons past. Plus The Wire actors have been doing a decent job with the bad material they are given. I'm sad to see Bob go.
what? i dont think you understand what that was supposed to signify.
Yeah he did. Damn.
Why did he have to go, Gimple? Whyyyyyyy
I hope that satisfied everyone who wanted a main character dead. For now.

what the hell at that ending. It's so incompetent that it does not even qualify as a cliffhanger.
All cliffhangers are kind of incompetent imo, but i see what you mean

I don't think incompetent is the word you guys are looking for. Maybe...abrupt.

It felt like the editor cut to black in the middle of the scene. It didn't feel like an ending at all. It just left me befuddled. The episode should have ended with Rick walking towards Tyrese to help him bury Bob. The shot was great.

I'm so happy Rick used the machete. So happy.
Hopefully the season keeps this pace!

I thought when the glass started cracking it indicated there would be some walker ambush at the school. Though maybe theres some deeper meaning relating to what Gareth said earlier.

And so leaves the voice of reason more or less of the group as Rick ebbs ever closer to being the danger he fought becoming in the first place. The scene where team Rick hacks Gareth and friends to pieces while Glenn and Maggie stood in awe and watched spelled it all. I predict that while Judith represents Ricks last moral shred of decency, her presence being in danger could equally tip him over the edge...He'll likely have to revisit Daryl's council(for lack of a better term) I think in the coming episodes to remain grounded. Will he even stay with the group though when Carol insists on herself parting? Who the hell knows!!! Oh yeah, the Bobby-Q was a nice touch but it wouldn't matter in the long run if they ate him because the disease s already inside them all...I can't believe Maggie and Glenn left! I was waiting for the bus to show back up at the end of the episode

Volimar, we know you know too damn well what that look is about.
I totally forgot about him. I think you're right. Good guess at least, have to wait till next sunday.
I really want to watch this... But episode 2 and 3 on the AMC website doesn't work... fuck...
couchtuner?
I was actually a bit surprised that Michonne also got involved with the executions. I mean Sasha was still shocked and wanted revenge for Bob, so I get that. And Rick has been showing his darker side for a while now, so that makes sense to me as well, but I figured Michonne would have more qualms about killing an unarmed woman.

Michonne and Daryl are the soldiers rick can count on. His generals/confidants.
Follow Rick or die.

Nah, she's essentially, a survivor. She knows what needs to be done and has no problems doing any kind of dirty work. She knows when it's a "kill or be killed" situation.
Huh?

Episodes this season have been excellent. Carl has slipped to the T-Dawg role of having basically no lines.
I'd say Abraham could take Rick. Sure, Rick has crazy mode but Abraham seems like a machine that repeats himself until he finishes the job.

They can't have gone too far. According to the wiki, the Prison was just off Highway 34, which is around south Metro-Atlanta (Peachtree City area). The only other "big" city relatively close by would be Columbus. But idk, as a Atlanta native, that looked like Atlanta to me.
Haha that's great. I was waiting for this.I took the liberty of making my own tyreseshook.gif. It's a bit brighter, so it may look better on some computers/devices.

They travel very slowly on foot throughout the show and are constantly sidetracked by people getting seperated or hurt, so it's safe to say they're still close to Atlanta.
And looking at the Terminus map that was used at Comic Con... Terminus appears to have been located in or near Macon.

Lol, will probably get a lot of use on Gaf.I took the liberty of making my own tyreseshook.gif. It's a bit brighter, so it may look better on some computers/devices.

Interesting. Wonder if it really might be the same hospital Rick was at.
Jest Chillin

Well I believe the town that Rick, Lori, Shane, and Morgan are from is fictional but it was a rural town, not in Atlanta proper. The hospital Rick was at when he awoke was in his hometown and then he traveled to Atlanta in search of Lori and Carl. You might remember the Iconic image of Rick on the highway that lead into Atlanta.
The Hospital could be anywhere really. Be it a real or fictional city. However if turns out to be in Atlanta, it wouldn't be the same one that he woke up in.

That's right, I totally forgot he had to travel to Atlanta in the beginning. You're right.

It was more the repeated post kill stabbings than the killing.

Probably had to do with how gruesome it was. Killing with a gun? Totally OK. Killing with a close combat weapon? OMG, we're not human anymore. But yeah, it probably had to do with how inhumane it looked.
Yeeeeaaaaahhhh but they ate people and threatened to kill Carl and Judith and before all that they ate Bob's leg. I can totally understand Rick and Sasha rage killing them.
