It was six weeks between the hospital and where Tyrese died and probably a few more since then. Maggie never expected Beth to be alive, and to be fair, she was wrecked when she saw her and for some time since. She's lost a lot of people by now, she has probably become an expert at eventually compartmentalizing her pain.

Agreed and I'm actually glad we don't have to watch her mourn Beth. We didn't hear a bunch of shit about her not mourning Hershall and his death was gruesome and everyone saw it. Honestly, after watching Rick mourn Lori for a season, I am fine with the show giving only a passing moment to this stuff. It's often so overblown and drags the show down terribly.

I agree 100% with whoever noticed the writing and directing this episode though. Every conversation made sense and sounded like things actual humans would say.

Add me to the list who thinks it's Pete who is the abuser. I'm mostly basing this off of the flinch she gave him when he tried to touch her after the party, and him being drunk and inappropriate so often. But it would be an interesting twist if it turns out to be the wife. I'm ok either way.

Next week should be really good. I haven't enjoyed The Walking Dead this much for a while. It's firing on all cylinders.

RIP Noah. I actually liked his character a lot. It was nice having some enjoyable but less hardened characters. Not everyone can be a bad-ass all the time but Noah and Tara fill a role that the show needs. Decent people. Rick's group seems low on those at the moment.

 

[HadesGigas]

Oh god T Dawg. He's got to be the most forgotten about character in the series. Died an uneventful death than he is never mentioned again.

Not even close. Plenty of other way more forgotten characters. What makes T-Dog special is how long he lasted while never developing in any way. Unless you count that time he almost killed himself bumping into a car door as development.

For as telegraphed as the "oh god this guys getting lines, he's gonna die" stuff still can be, they've gotten way better at making the background characters mildly developed. Characters like Noah, Eugene, Tara, Gabriel, Sasha have way more going on than T-Dog ever did.

Right now I'd say, of Rick's group, Rosita is the most "nothing" character. Doesn't seem to exist unless Abraham is around, doesn't do anything other than like calm him down or look at him judgingly. But that should probably change soon with Abe's new role.

 

[Finalow]

^ T Who?

meh, not a bad episode but the action and those 2 deaths felt really forced.
we have to go out as a group, of course we get attacked. of course the guy shoots to a granade, and of course they other guy would "betray" them and run in panic because he's a moron. etc. regarding Noah's death, how hard was it to just stand back and not get grabbed? A few could have come him? You kill them even without ammo, as they always did. considering that, just as this show always taught us, Noah became #1 sniper US after 5 minutes of shooting at bottles I'm sure that he also learned some high level kungfu somewhere between the episodes.

I didn't expect that from Gabriel. I think that he's not going to die, at least not for quite some time, the number of black people that died recently is already at the limit.

also at the end, "Rick, only one way to resolve this: you gotta kill him." Lol, yeah, that's totally your only option.

 

[More_Badass]

On a happier note regarding death, anyone have a favorite zombie kill?

My personal favorite is the face rip from Season 3

Like Oscar. Poor Oscar. Lasted half a season too only to get shot by fake Shane.

yeah that made me laugh too

 

[eloestmn]

ah come on! what could possibly be wrong with me thinking that?

nothing, Sarah Wayne Callies is pretty attractive. Ive thought so ever since she showed up as Dr. Sarah Tancretti on Prison Break.

That aside Lori was a GRAND fucking SMH and I get why they hit you with your own avatar. Plus Maggie and Rosita are better looking anyway.

 

[Sadist]

Wooooo doozy of an episode

- Dubstep van of d00m
- Abraham bringing the Mother Dick home. Like a boss
- Eugene is amazing this episode.
- Lol the zombies went downtown on that guy. Christ, all of dem guts.
- Rick comin' for ya wife son
- Carol's Bitchin' Biscuits
- What the fuck at Noah's death. That was brutal man. I really feel for Glen there
- Alexandria peeps, there are some new rulers in this town
- Return of the Rise of the Ricktatorship

Gonna be good the next two weeks.

they're all good looking but I personally find lori to be the best looking. but it's not like I said she's the best female character on the show.

Good episode. Nice mix of plot and action.

It looks like Rick's group are on a confrontation path with the villagers. Rick should be trying harder to integrate and work with the Senator and it looks like she is having second thoughts on the whole plan.

I think Rick's group is doing a good job. I mean he is doing his role as 5-0. Abe getting shit done on the construction front. Eugene solving their power issues. Glen going out on patrols.

Deanna knows that her people are inferior and she has no choice but to let Rick's group run things. When she hears about these deaths she will be devastated but guess what, the group has lost way more and Rick lost his damn wife. This is small potatoes.

Time to GIT real. WHO'S DEANNA?

 

[RandyBobandy]

Gabriel is dead to me now. DEAD

They save your candy ass from cannibals and go and be a turncoat biatch? No. You can die next. Go away

Noah didn't deserve to die in such a brutal manner

I hope the guy who got him killed dies next

Forget the cannibals they saved his sorry ass from walkers the first time they met. His ass should have been sent out instead of Noah.

Was really hoping Deanna would call him on that bullshit right then and there. Yeah, these people are the anti-christ which is why they kept your useless ass alive? Group is so evil that they kept a baby, a kid, a guy with an effed up leg (she didn't know he was dead yet) and a socially maladjusted weirdo alive? GTFO. Hell, they even took in Tara, who was apart of the group that came to kill them at the prison.

 

[Master Yoshi]

I still can't get over the revolving door setup. Absolutely ingenious, and perfectly executed.

This was by far the best episode this season, although I really loved when the Termites were exterminated in Gabriel's church.

 

[antonz]

Abraham taking over the construction detail even though he was told too by the former foreman we already see starts the issue with Deanna. She is seeing how quickly Ricks people are taking over vital areas of the community as far as leadership.

Deanna being a Politician the numbers are already crunching in her head as far as being the head honcho is concerned. If Ricks people are so good and already taking over half the jobs how long does she have left. Gabriel just furthers her doubt and you can bet your ass dead son will be a breaking point.

Thinking about being in that set-up is terrifying. What are your options? If someone doesnt come along with a distraction, you're trapped on both sides with no way out. Either you all starve or someone sacrifices the other to escape.

 

[eso76]

So, that's how things went

Noah to architect "I'm here to stay"
Me to wife "he's dying today".
So predictable !

But yeah the revolving door was great.

 

[Zutroy]

What did Aiden admit to Glenn just before he died? Didn't quite catch it.

 

[Burt]

What did Aiden admit to Glenn just before he died? Didn't quite catch it.

Can't remember the exact quote, but he essentially confessed to letting those other 4 people from before die so he could escape, the implication being that he deserved to have the same happen to him. It was something like "It was us" or "We ran" or something like that.

 

[Kazuhira]

Man,no military training can save aiden of being stupid haha
Also pretty damn good episode,whoever are the writers they need to keep them.
It really disturbed me when they were ripping noah´s face apart,it must´ve been one of the show's most brutal and graphic death scenes.
This episode made beth´s death even more unnecessary.

 

[Baleoce]

Why were they booming out the music in the van while they were still in the camp? xD (the first time, not the bait afterwards)

hm this is giving me the idea that alexandria's code is that anyone who falls behind, is left behind. isn't that what the guy was gonna explain to abraham after they killed the zombies there? he was cut off coz the girl punched him but i mean what else was he gonna explain to abe

 

[More_Badass]

Because Aiden's an idiot

Deanna better not pull that shit. Aiden died but so did Noah. And they died because he was an idiot. I hope Glenn explodes at her. Pun intended.

 

[threetri333]

Dealing with Pete will be hard, since he's a doctor; doctors are highly valuable in a walkers apocalypse.

I´m pretty sure rick will find an excuse.
Besides I've never seen the guy do any work tbh,he seems to be drunk most of the time.

 

[Kinyou]

That look Noah gave him, goddamn.

 

[Volimar]

I just want to know what Carol is doing with all that extra chocolate.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

she is really hoarding that chocolate.

 

[jett]

Too many black guys rule in full effect still.

That priest really is a total piece of shit. What a scumbag. I guess he fits in Alexandria.

This is the most intriguing the show has ever been I think.

Totally agree. I can't wait until the next episode. It's been awhile since I've felt that way.

They're forgetting the black woman from season 1, and probably a couple of others.

Noah's death scene fucked me up. That was brutal. I'm cringing so hard right now.

wasn't she already dead?

Jacqui slayed, she could have been so much more

oh. I thought he was talking about morgan's wife

 

[Dereck]

For a second there I completely forgot that Tyrese died.

 

[RDreamer]

I finally caught up with this series tonight. Watched the last two episodes tonight, and now I'm one of you!

I don't know how I'm going to deal with all this suspense, especially between seasons.

 

[DangerMouse]

They better keep the lady from the beginning. She had one hell of a right hook!

Yeah, I'd like to see her stay, what a punch!

 

[Krixeus]

The black guy from the prison too.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Poor Noah...I was starting to like him. :'-(

That episode was great. I felt more for that death scene than Beth and Tyrese combined

 

[wenis]

That was a rad fucking death. Both of those dudes got iced out in the best zombie way possible. rivals Rhodes "choke on em" death in Day of the Dead, by far.

 

[Takashi]

I kinda hope Jessie comes out to be the bad person instead of Pete. Would be fine either way tho.

 

[LuuKyK]

Yeah, last episode's deaths were extremely gruesome. Not that its a bad thing, they will only be if they look tacky but the ones there were really well made.
