Rick didn't have to kill him, it was a little nibble on the cheek the dude could've lived through that, I don't like where Rick's character is going this season.
I know, right?
Its not like little bites infect you, only the serious chomps.

bet it was the shitty kid with the horn....
overall th whole plan was fucking stupid... why not just but more car or something at the rock quarry.. why lan them even closer to the home... oveall it didnt make any scene and was dumb... still lved it overall.. and i like the black and white use..and it begining non linear
so fucking happy carter is dun... so fucking annoying..
but if it was me i would have used fire or something.. at the quarry.. i mean as e quarry closer to the community? seems like it wasnt?

It was a pretty good premier, but I wouldn't say it was a strong episode. It set up the problem facing Alexandria (numerous walkers, the Wolves/hunters) and showed that not everyone in the city trusts Rick or his "Ricktatorship" and sometimes that'll bite them in the ass (the construction worker red shirt this episode).
Should be a good season to play off that dynamic. Double so with Morgan.
Try backing a semi-truck trailer with no experience near a rock quarry CLIFF. Go on, I'll wait while you tip over to your death.
It was close to Alexandria and is on the "outskirts of DC" as soon as that trailer went over, the northern side of the Quarry was open to allow them to head toward Alexandria. Hence, why everyone was trying to lead them EAST from Alexandria and circling around the Quarry to lead them away.

fuck this ipad.. but yeah i know the truck fell and they had to just do it right there but they had been planning for awhile building those walls and stuff.. plus they didnt have to use semi trucks... they could have used cars or built the wall their... the plan seemed like more work than they should have done.... but killing them with fire or something as soon as they found them would have been better..... i know it was a plot thang to get zombies at the communtiy otherwise it would have been boring shit at the houses and almost no zombies..
I think the black and white was more of a homage to the show's comic origins

How much oil and gas would you need to kill an absolute massive army of thousands of walkers? There wouldn't have enough
DangerMouse

This one was mentioned in the show. As said in the ep, the construction noise would have made that impossible. That was what Carter suggested.

daryl has infinite
not sure but they could have burned at the front of the line, and used a few dozen molotovi cocktails for most of the rest, they could have used dinomate that should have been at the quarry... they could have done a bunch of stuff but i understand why it was done they had to have a plan go wrong to get zombie at their crib.. its just annoying lol could have been done smarter... but meh the ep was awesome just because carter got fucked.. lol no wonder they made him annoying lol...
also soo does anyone know how much time has gone by? wasnt it like 500+ days or something.. for the whole series!?
I was thinking about how much time has passed just today. I guess it is probably been quite a bit since the show has to account for the aging of Carl's actor. At least a couple years I guess. I wonder if at some point they will have to kill off Carl just to slow the passage of time.daryl has infinite

Could the fire that results even be hot enough to melt them down instead of just creating fire walkers that continue to come toward you? We've seen fire walkers already in the show as well. Anything short of a napalm bomb likely isn't going to do anything when it comes to using fire against walkers..
I can't imagine that a walker's brain could sustain itself in the midst of 400°F temperatures. Fire would definitely work pretty well, so long as it was sustained fire over a period of time. Of course they probably won't try it since it would open up all kinds of plot loopholes.

Judith still can't walk, hasn't been that long.
But then you don't have any Vehicles to go get supplies because you have used most of all your local gas supply. Also They had to get into the Quarry to get the Dynamite. The Mall construction zone where they were last season wouldn't have any at all.
You are living in fantasy land where one fire would get all them. You would barely get one 1/8th of them if that while the walkers wander around.
Using fire is literally the worst idea when its like a thousand of them. You lead them to a cliff they can fall off of or into some kind of canyon or something. They have neither option really so they are leading them a long damn far away from them before letting them disperse .

Nah, it is a
dead body pushing against the steering wheel, likely Carl's girlfriend
Yeah, but they're shambling corpses. I don't think a sustained fire would stay on their bodies long enough without the clothes burning away to do enough damage to their brain.
Now I'm wanting to see the Mythbusters test this with a flame suit but it's pretty highly dangerous to attempt to test that with an actual human or animal...

Sure, but coming back from a 6+ month time-frame and quickly glossing over the cliffhanger to do back and forth? It'd be a little jarring to people. I can see why they colored it the way they did to make sure people caught up to the current time/pushing the walkers out.
The nice thing about fire is that it spreads very easily in confined spaces. Especially if a walker's corpse and clothes are completely dried out from sitting in the hot sun of a quarry all day with no shade. You don't need 100 firebombs to kill them all, you just need a few well placed fires.
If you are of the opinion the the fire would burn out before short-circuiting a walker's brain, then there isn't much risk in at least trying firebombs since the fire would quickly burn out anyway.

yeah, i just kept yelling no, no, no.
i would've much rather nicholas killed off and preston take his place.
what handshake? i missed pieces of this episode.
they will
rot in pieces
seems like it. and it does kinda bother me.
also, did they show any reprimanding to gabriel? because he really fucking deserved some.
so was the last season. quite unbelievable actually.
huh?
what?
i don't get it, what's to hate about chris hardwick? he's a good host imo.
why the fuck would he even do that unless it was some stupid mistake
what?
i'd like to know this too.
that's a cool way to look at it.
same. so sad.
No, but like Maggie said: "You were on the other side of that fence when the Governor attacked and now you're here with us. People can change." It's why she didn't go forward to Deanna about Rat-face killing Noah off. Same with the Lesbian Cop following Maggie's lead and why Glenn didn't kill him. Glenn feels like eventually Rat-face will do the right thing and kill himself or sacrifice himself or something to atone for the "sins" of running away/killing Noah.
It's also why Glenn told him to hang back while the one other runner for Alexandria and him dealt with the zombies at the Farm Supply place. While I think that logic (dude had knives and guns to kill Glenn with, though in front of the other runner... probably not) is a bit flimsy, I can see where they're coming from.
How is a fire going to spread on a Quarry? its nothing but dirt and more dirt and some machines. Unless you have a drone or a rc car that can drag gas everywhere the fire isn't going to catch and become big enough for that.
