Wild guess: He was traveling with his dad before the world went to poo poo and got stuck in Atlanta. They were probably flying on Delta.

That would make sense, but based on how sure they were his community would be a safe fortress, I assumed he had actually been there at some point after the outbreak.

He definitely had been there after the outbreak. I think he explained why he was in Atlanta but can't remember for sure.

I remember about him being down there to search for some family member after the outbreak.

I was checking IMDB to see if that doctor from the Atlanta hospital was in this season. I guessed maybe that the urgency in moving Tyrese may have been to get him back to the rest of the group to get medical treatment from the doctor. But instead the characters are just retarded. The Walking Dead.

It turns out the character also played the pedophile in 'Frank Reynolds Little Beauties' in Always Sunny.

poo poo, that's right....maybe that was just a really weird prepper community.

Okay, yeah, that's really weird that they were several hundred miles away from home. The only easy explanation I can think of is they were looking for family in Atlanta.

I could've sworn they were picked up like how Beth was picked up from the church, that is to say, nowhere near atlanta.

There's no loving way they were picked up though on a normal run. The church wasn't near Atlanta, but it wasn't hundreds of miles away.

It makes sense that someone could be training wolves to go after walkers. That could be what the torsos were going to be used for. Since animals don't seem to get the disease they'd be a perfect way to clear the countryside... A side effect being that they may attack humans they come across too.

Like, you can exchange wolves for dogs, and it still doesn't make sense. Releasing animals who have no concept of "you must destroy the head, specifically" and "can't get bitten" seems pretty counterproductive. And while wolves can occasionally feed on carrion, I'm certain they would avoid the unknown and potentially dangerous walking carcasses, settling instead for any of the many easier to obtain food sources (I assume game has been multiplying like crazy with people gone).

I would also still appreciate some danger.



If animals are immune, it makes a ton of sense to throw a pack of dogs at walkers and then just brain the zombies while they're tangled up.

Plus they can be trained to recognize stinky people as the enemy, sniff them out, and never get transfixed by photographs of kids on vacation.

I'm not going to reiterate every single point as to why this was a lovely episode that everybody has rightfully pointed out, but I do wonder:

where the gently caress was Karen?!

You know, the lady Tyreese fell in love with?

The lady whose death he went all kill-crazy over?

So kill-crazy he almost beats Rick to death?

So crazy over that (the wiki for "The Grove" ep says) 'Tyreese reveals to Carol that he dreams of Karen every night'

Where his openly-stated desire for revenge is a significant plot arc for several episodes with Carol, Rick, and Ty leading up to his big "moment" of forgiveness?

I mean, if this is supposed to be some big emotional vignette of internal thoughts where the gently caress was she? I like the Govenor as much as the next guy, but Tyreese and G barely interacted. Why the hell would he be there and not her, whose life and death basically defined almost all of Tyreese's development for most of the series?

Christ. Maybe Karen's actress read the script beforehand and decided to bail. I wouldn't blame her.

It was really weird to me too. Tyreese's hallucinations even bring her up, and you'd THINK that would be someone who would show up, but I'm willing to bet the producers figured she wasn't important enough to bring back or figured audiences would be confused since she was only in an episode or two.

Other people who could have showed up that had an impact on Tyreese - Ben, Allen, and Donna (the people he was traveling with forever before reaching the Prison/Woodbury).

Taken from the Walking Dead Wiki (not sure how accurate it is)

quote:

Noah's uncle had ventured outside of their community at some point and never returned, which led Noah and his father to go out on a search mission for him. Their mission eventually led them to Atlanta, where they were ambushed by Dawn Lerner and her officers. Noah was taken by the group while his father was left behind to die.

So that probably rules out Morgan at least.
