That's an easy one. If the NLCS goes 7 games, the Cubs and Mets will be playing that night. CM Punk can't commit to a Talking Dead appearance if his attention is focused elsewhere.
The welfare of Chicago sports teams trump everything else. Walking Dead. The WWE. Training for UFC. AJ. Nothing else matters.
oh lol, totally didn't make that connection. Thanks!
She was on the baby monitor when Carol put the dish in the oven, and presumably still there when Carl was told to guard the house.
I expected him to look at the monitor when he was putting the dish on the bench. Surprised they didn't have a shot of it at all though, even if she hadn't been abducted. Having her still there would have helped cement things being back to "normal".
I have to imagine she is still there though. If she'd been taken, they would have ended on that reveal, especially with the next episode focusing on Rick's group to help stretch that tension out (as they have done before).

Seriously she's the best character on the show. From abused housewife to Rick's ruthless KGB agent.

When carol was holding the dead girl on the stairs and the camera was pulling away the music gave me strong last of us vibes.

Not necessary but still very possible. They could have learned of the location via Aaron's backpack and still planted a mole.

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
:O Carol's such a badass. What an episode...

I honestly trip out any time I see season 1 walking dead stuff. They've evolved so much from Rick barely being able to kill a walker to carol the abused housewife. Goddamn.

I believe she is referring to how she and Carl sneaked outside last season by climbing over the walls. It's full of blind spots. That's how they managed.

Rick/Michonne/Glenn/Abraham/ are anything but useless. Same with sasha when she's not being crazayyy.

Carol is on some next gen genre saviness, not in a million years would I have ever believed that Carol would end up being the most badass super soldier on the show.
They should clone her, Big Carol needs to live on.

Where was Rick?

Where were Daryl and Glen and Michonne and Ginger Guy?

Carol's toughness is cool, but it can also be so laughably bad at times. "Your Dad beat you, now he's dead. Get over it. And get the fuck off my stoop."
Wow, so tough Carol, saying these things to a 5 year old. So edgy.

Rick's new girlfriend needs to give Carl a haircut sharpish.

Interesting to note that the the gun that the wolves dude is using has no ammo. It's not that the don't have guns, but are completely against using them. If it were an availability issue, they would pick up guns from the slain Alexandria people. Even the dudes that monk Morgan chased out gave the impression that they left the wolves because he picked up a gun.
god Morgan was fucking annoying tonight.
either get with the fucked up world or shut the fuck up.
As usual, Carol >>>>>>>>>>
that scene where she's watching the smoker get suddenly brutally murdered so was horrifying and genuinely shocking.
and holy shit at Merrit Weaver joining the show! I love her and she's already so great.

A great episode but I could not take the wolves seriously at all.
What were they even trying to do? They didn't seem to be trying to take the place over, and in fact were just murdering for no real reason. Hell there were repeated shots of them just hacking up bodies and looking crazy.
They also didn't have the element of surprise since they wasted that opportunity by just murdering a random woman standing in the street.
And I find it incredibly hard to believe that NOT ONE of them managed to get a gun before deciding to invade this huge community.
They made absolutely no fucking sense, and they had no motivation, they weren't trying to survive, they were just comic-book villain evil and completely faceless.
That really affected my enjoyment of the episode, along with Morgan (zzzzzzz) and Ron being a whiney little prick.

1) I didn't see it as random. I saw it as taking out outdoor stragglers. Take out the alone and isolated first. That was them using the element of surprise.
2) We saw their handiwork at Noah's community. They have some plan, involving prisoners. We just don't know that plan yet. But they weren't able to do it today

i'm loving these first 2 episodes. i felt last season was a bit boring.
carol was so bad ass. not sure what's going on with morgan? was he part of that group that attacked?
also, maybe my memory is just really bad but where are rick/abraham/glenn/daryl? i know they heard the horn and started heading back to alexandria but they just didn't turn up this episode.

So what are the chances that the Wolves rigged the semi at the quarry to fall while Rick and the gang were there?
Seems a bit convenient that this semi (that had probably been there for years) fell and released thousands of walkers at the exact same time that Rick's group has there and Wolves were attacking town.

That was a great episode. Loved Carol being a badass like everyone else. Morgan kicked ass, too though his idealism did irritate me.
Maggie also seemed to kick ass!
Wolves went down quick which is good as they seem like disorganized idiots who are trying to live like savages or something.

It was easy to miss, but Rick told Morgan to go back to Alexandria. I guess the others are dealing with the horde
When they tired the one dude tied up he was saying that they (Alexandrians) were trapped and they (wolves) were freeing them.
They clearly have a crazy ideology. They are crazy.
nah, they used the opportunity. That means theres a mole among Alexandria and it's not Enid. Somebody who can signal back from the scene of happening.

What a great start to the season. Two fantastic opening episodes. Carol has become such a great character. A lot have been short-changed over the length of the show, but her arc has been fascinating to watch.

So since the Wolves were taking prisoners, can we assume (comic spoilers)
they're possibly working with or cooperating with another group, maybe Negan's group?

That was my exact thought. God, Crossed was the most unnecessarily vulgar thing i've ever read. I LOVE dark horror of all kinds, but its still the only piece of entertainment I wish I could un-experience.
Worst part is I kept reading for far too many of its series' hoping it would eventually try to tell an actual story.

I forget exactly, but he said the profession of the guy and it was something innocuous.

i wouldn't expect Negan's group till second half of this season.i doubt these guys even know about Negan's group although it is always a possibility I really doubt it. We might see something from this first half tie into Negan's groups but I wouldn't expect it to be the wolves. We have to meet hilltop and Jesus before we really start dealing with negan and his guys.

and because of this, I fear she dies soon
You're waaaay overthinking it.
I'm going deaf - what did Morgan say when Gabriel asked him who taught him? a change agent? I couldn't tell.
Carol is so badass I'm afraid the writers will feel the need to kill her off so she doesn't steal any of Rick's thunder. That would be a dumb move, but you never know.
Also, I'm n'thing everyone who says that Carl needs a haircut.
I think you mean Carol's people.
I'm pretty sure it was a cheese maker or something of that sort....

Is it just me, or does Carl's girlfriend look like the Apple beep beep girl?
The creators of the show said that she was one character they were unlikely to kill off. Couldn't find a proper link to an actual respected site. I know I read that though.
Edit - Which means she will die soon. I don't trust your comforting words you lying fucks.
