Carol found the watch in the pile of belongings and gave it back to rick. Oh poo poo! I thought there was something weirdly familiar about the kid. I get it now. Although I don't know how I missed Carol giving him her ex husband's watch.

Wasn't "bait house" just a never confirmed theory and it could've just been an outpost?

I assume it's more of the second than the first. Obviously looting in the city has been extremely profitable for them, they seemed to be fairly well off in the hospital, and the "bait house" as I keep calling it was completely stacked with food. Stacked to the point where survivors having a tough time of it would probably consider staying put for a few days. Then the Rape Cops show up once a week while checking their trap line, and if anyone's home they summon a zombie horde to the front door and abduct anyone who comes running out. Although at this point it sounds like they're starting to abduct only girls. edit: Is anyone else disappointed that Beth and Daryl didn't blast through the gate in a car, do a power slide into the zombies, then mow everyone down with guns right at the very end? It would have been lovely storytelling but made for a very fun post apocalyptic moment. Sammus fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Nov 5, 2014 |

I imagine that navigating all the way from a zombie infested Atlanta to a deserted road in a rural backwoods some 80 or so kilometers away on a regular basis would be significantly trickier than filling up your tank with gas. Not that that would be easy to do on a regular basis either. They depict the city outside the hospital as a slaughterhouse and then these people are just wasting shitloads of fuel in an ongoing wild-goose chase in the middle of the night?

If anything, I'm disappointed that cyclops dog wasn't at the hospital. It would have been a great signal that the house was a trap and they had been under surveillance until they were vulnerable and separated.

We've even seen weird phenomenon like what The Governor ran into when he tried to take his 'family' to safety. Before the prison they even talked about how several herds had kept them boxed in for basically the entire winter. The herds are a constant threat and make the roads extremely dangerous

This show's depiction of Georgia's geography is so out of line with reality it's best to just not think about it. That said, a much more sane way to get to DC than Abraham's apparent plan would be to double back to Atlanta generally follow 75/40 through Chattanooga, Knoxville and eventually into Virginia because they would have to deal with significantly fewer mountains than anything that involves going east around N. Carolina territory.

I think we'll probably never find out exactly what the deal was with the Mortician's house, and I like it that way. In a world like this it's cool to have locations with some mystery to them.

They actually do get small hints of terminus during the prison arc. During the swine flu arc when tyreese, Bob, michonne, and Daryl go for antibiotics they happen across a broken up static signal with a few choice terminus words.

I want to see them run into a group that actually did know about Terminus, and Woodbury, (and Grady Memorial why not) and knows about them falling so in their mind Rick's group are elevated to near-mythical agents of destruction.

The hole I see here is that any group that would know the true nature of the termites are either now part of them or are on Tasha Year's grill or in line to be. Edit: and to some degree the governor too. They killed people who would come across them and they'd steal their supplies. Grady was kind of hinted at by Noah. It seems like they only interact with people that are weaker than them. I mean, none of the rape cops even looked remotely tough. Tyreese could probably clear than hospital by himself.

If I95 is impassable and they had to take another highway theres some that go through the mountains in Tennessee that could get hosed up by just a few stalled or abandoned cars.

Did anyone else notice what looked like Daryl scoping out Beth and the Doctor when they were on the roof of the hospital, right before he tells Beth to give that guy Clozapine or whatever it is? I didn't go back and check, but there's a shot with some guy on the roof of an adjacent building in the background checking them out.

He's some lookout/sniper for them, he's visible as soon as they come out onto the roof. e: Interestingly, it looks like he's the actual focus of the shot as the camera moves, and he becomes obscured by a post and Beth before the next cut. Very ominous...maybe the idea is that he's keeping an eye on them as much as anything else.

So I just rewatched this week's ep. I think the thing that doesn't really balance out is definitely why Dawn is in charge. She makes a comment like "I didn't ask for this" which makes me think she's actually working under someone. Maybe Negan? That would explain how such a lovely group of weak cops could hold their own in ATL.Wizard of Smart posted:If he wasn't being such a bitch srsly tho. he been hella annoying this season.

Anything that involves taking I40 means that they'll end up on I81. And I-81 goes through a lot of mountains. Eastern North Carolina is super flat, as is the Eastern part of Virginia.
