I thought Glenn was going to be the one to die leading up to the season finale. Glad he didn't.

This is not a big deal, but this bugged me as well, haha.
Like, why do the meeting at night by torch light or whatever. So the rest of the place is asleep? To make it extra creepy and ominous?
And how the passing of time and location orientation was weird to me. Like some michael bay transformers or Hobbit 3 last battle stuff. Like, what was he doing to pass the time till night. Where was he, how big is this place, where was Glenn and dumbass in relation to the compound. How far was big D away.
Like, WAT, lol.

Everyone is already infected. Walker bites just give you the fever that finally kills you before you turn.
If by Big D you mean Darryl, he and Aaron were about 50 miles from Alexandria; they say as much.

Yea, remembered after I posted, heh. They were talking about it by the gate to the loading dock.
Just like good kegel muscles.
Great finale. The way the final scene at the meeting was shot was excellent. Rick is top tier. Surprised none of the main died (but not really, there were a lot of deaths already), but two deaths, with other close ones, good shit. I think this was my favorite season so far. Only bit that comes close for me are the governor episodes.
Blind Grandmaster Peace and Love Yoda Staff Morgan was one too many layers of hokey.
Glenn not telling anyone the guy climbing over the fence and the gate thing with Gabriel and Spencer...Jesus Christ what contrived ways to rack up tension. It just makes so many people look stupid for convenience. Enjoyed it regardless.
Daryl and Aaron though...I can ship that.

Pretty good finale.
Overall, despite all the nonsense, this has been an awesome season. Possibly the best of the series.
Yeah all that was ridiculous. LOL'd at Gabriel closing the door. Its like babby's first time closing a gate.

Fuck that was an awesome finale. The writers knew that after all the bullshit, viewers really don't need to see more of 'our' group being killed or looking weak right now. There's been enough of that this season.
And fuck yes Rick, put those sheep in their place. The audacity of them judging him.
Great season, by far the best yet. Best trend was Carol starting the season as MVP and ending as MVP. She played Pete like a fiddle, giving Rick the perfect back-up plan if the quorum went south. Carol always having Rick's back is the best bromance on the show.

I've come to eat crow. I thought for sure the season would end just the same way Terminus did: with zombies all over town and towers of smoke in the air. I'll probably yet be right about it happening, but I'm glad to be proven wrong about it happening because of fuck ups from within.
I think, though, that TWD would be kinda fun to watch as a show about warring states in a post zombie apocalypse world, though.

As badass as this shot was it again shows how soft and mushy the zombies are. How are they supposed to have the strength to tear people apart?
They're right to judge him. The man is still not mentally balanced.
The Alexandrians may be soft, but Rick has been out there too long. Both sides have got to meet in the middle.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
On the subject of Sasha, her lying with the zombies was a bit much for me. I get that she has a death wish, and I get why, but still. Those things have to reek.
Actually, the fact that people aren't alerted to zombies by their odor is something I'm still trying to get my head around.

Mythbusters would test whether shooting a gun from within someone's head would muffle the sound.
They've probably gotten use to the smell.

So going back to Dale's speech from season 1, what do you think the writers are trying to say by having all the Alexandria episode titles reference that speech?
Alexandria is supposed to be the "mausoleum of all hope and desire", a hope for normalcy among an ocean of shit?

Sasha lost her brother not even a week ago (in storytime), man. It's reasonable for her to be "crazy" like Rick was crazy with the loss of Lori.
Though you have a point with Gabriel. Dude is a backstabbing bastard that whines when he faces a zombie despite the fact he didn't save his "flock"/people outside his church during the outbreak. Fuck him.
Wait, so am I suppose to believe that the two guys who can create such an elaborate trap, able to herd a vast number of walkers without getting themselves killed, were the same two people that got their asses kicked by Morgan and weren't smart enough to know they were beat? I am sorry, that just does not make sense to me after thinking about it.
The show is still very inconsistent in terms of its character development. I am having a lot of trouble caring about what Sasha and Gabriel is struggling with. Their whole inner torment just seem poorly conceived and executed. Honestly, the cast is too large and it is obvious they have problems coming up with interesting storylines for some of them.
I am curious if they considered the scenario of the walkers attacking the meeting and having Rick rescue them. Also, I am surprised that for a community that size, there isn't any kind of a community building (or converting a spare house into one), instead of meeting outside like that.

They weren't expecting to be dealing with a post-apocalyptic Donatello.
And Morgan was giving off some serious Book of Eli vibes
wat?

Episode titles were:
5x12 - Remember
5x13 - Forget
5x14 - Spend
5x15 - Try
5x16 - Conquer
Directly reference Dale's speech
In a way, it actually fits.

This. Considering what Rick was saying and what Deanna was so desperately trying to maintain until that last scene, I'd say Alexandria is definitely a memorial to something that is gone. Normal life, the way things were.
And Morgan was giving off some serious Book of Eli vibes
Same exact thought last night.
Book of Eli spoiler:
When he was standing between them and not looking at them directly (to keep them in his peripherals), I thought: 'he isn't blind, is he? oh yea, that's Eli'.
yes canines were taking knives to the foreheads of undead humans
I know what you mean but kindly disagree, because I see NA as more than just Deanna's politics - i'm biased though, since I read the comics.
Wat.

If the wolves are the alexandria exiles, why is it that they suddenly decide to come back? They seemed happy enough in their part of the woods. There's also that scene where they're looking and the pictures and seemingly finding out about alexandria. There's also the fact that if they are the exiles then they couldn't do much since they seem to kill everyone they meet; no chance to build a group up.
I think the wolves are an already established group with no prior connection to alexandria.

They aren't real so them being super strong (yet cant break a car window) and also super fragile makes since in the make believe world of The Walking Dead, like how Vin Diesel can drive a car through the top of a sky scraper into another sky scraper. Suspension of disbelief brah.
I take it as like a monster in a D&D game. Their strength is very high with high critical chance but their HP and defense is incredibly low which allows people to kill them very easily.

Dude saved 2 Wolves... Morgan gonna regret that.
Haha me and my friends were making the same joke.

Well he didn't actually save them. He attracted walkers to the car to kill them, but he gave them a chance to survive. This is the new Morgan
nope. Lenny mentioned in Talking Dead that he honked to make sure NO walkers were around.
"Every life is precious now." - I bet he pictured his reunion with Rick differently.

A new normal will emerge when both sides meet in the middle. Rick's extreme views are just too far on one side of the spectrum at the moment.
I understand that which is why I'm not too bothered about it. It just occasionally takes me out of it when I see it.
Speaking of those two Wolves - the only thing I didn't like about the episode is how much it set up Rick and Morgan to be at odds with each other next season using the same played-out moralising. First Morgan emphasises "Every life is precious", then he doesn't kill the two psychotic Wolves even though they admitted killing many others (granted he trapped them, but that was more of a delaying tactic to get away), and finally he witnesses Rick shooting Pete with a shocked look on his face.
Hopefully they just forget it all happened in S6. I can't be arsed with more 'We must not kill' bullshit.
Other slight annoyance was how sloppy Daryl and Aaron were when they stumbled across that supermarket. They were so casual after killing those few Walkers by the gate. A supermarket is a primo target for all sorts of reasons, normally they would be super cautious.
